I'm not much of a pro, but it's very simple to make the base bmp any shape you want - Just go at it with a non-anti aliased brush tool in the pink masking color. Good idea, btw, I'll see what I can come up with. Tanks a Lot - It gets their attention, see? Gyrene [ September 30, 2002, 07:01 PM: Message edited by: Gyrene ]

Nice bunkers! Gyrene

It was built according to all Soviet construction codes in an union shop! Gyrene

Great job Kump and Dorosh in putting that list together. I wish there was a list like that for everything in the game. Gyrene

Konstantine? or was it spelled with a "C" RPG kaput Tank? Yes...RPG kaput tank. Gyrene

Thanks Vader. Gyrene

Complete with doodads. Thanks to Juju for telling me where to find the doodad .bmp's You can get it here Gyrene [ September 30, 2002, 04:11 PM: Message edited by: Gyrene ]

As in "Stopfen mit gefingerpoken"? Gyrene

What grass mod was he using? Gyrene

SturmTiger strolls by. Gyrene

I have the settings for SnapzPro pretty much worked out for a mix of quality vs size (The originals are about 6mb) let me know if you need any help. Time to put that Dual Gig of yours to work! Gyrene

The T34 hit the ST...Twice. You can't see it on the web movie but it's clear on the original capture. I used SnapzPro 2 for capture and Cleaner 5 for compression. Here's the next:Ferdinand firing. (860k) Gyrene

Actually that is a German crew of a Brummbar that was a bit to close to the Large Building the ST had targetted before...They later received casualties while hidding in a large building some 80m away from the impact area! Gyrene

A T34 has an unfortunate encounter with a Sturmtiger in this short movie (1.8MB, Quicktime required) More movies soon to follow: Brummbar, Ferdinand, Sturmtiger vs Factory. I'm taking requests. Gyrene

The first one is very nice! Gyrene

Hey Abbott, now that we both have the game how's about a small PBEM match to get warmed up? Gyrene

Great news! Please don't stop with just the vehicles, it took divine Juju intervention for me to find the rubble doodad bmp #'s! Gyrene [ September 24, 2002, 05:17 AM: Message edited by: Gyrene ]

I would imagine even a few (20mm) ATR's will be enough to send these beasts packing.</font>

It's been asked before, but the request got buried in the flood of posts after the demo release: Could we possibly get a list of all the bmp and sound files? It would make modding a *whole* lot easier and would be very much appreciated, I'm sure. Gyrene

I sort of agree with you there Franko. I got CMBB mostly for the improvements in game play rather than for the whole Eastern Front thing. The fact that many CW & US vehicles are in the mix would make alternative scenarios (I.e. Western Europe & Desert) possible with CMBB, although I'm sure this will remain a minority use of the game. I find myself not particularly caring about any of the sides, although I'll still favor playing the non-Axis forces. We have to remember that CMBO was unlike anything before it and it's a very hard act to follow. Gyrene

They could have been Romanians for all I knew, blame my computer! Gyrene

I think it as more to do with the installer compression system used in the Mac version more than anything... It took about 40 minutes with my 40x12x40x firewire drive. (Much faster than the internal 16x DVD ROM) Gyrene

If you can, I would strongly urge you to order it with the GeF 4600 Ti card. On my 2MX with 32MB VRAM the vehicle textures show up nicely, but the grass on the steppes is obviously being downsampled in a way that I find distracting. That shows up in the 1 and 2 views at 800X600. Michael</font>

Having just received the game this morning and feeling very gamey I decided to set up a QB to see just how BFC modelled the M17 GMC... Two words:Kick Ass! The QB was a 1000 point affair and I purchased as many M17's as I could for the money and a sole BA64 with the remainder (Which incidently takes the Cutest Vehicle title away from the Jeep in my opinion...Little clown AC!) The computer must have been sensing my mood and obliged me by randomly picking a Battalion of conscript Finns backed up by a sole BA10... I initiated a sweep down both flanks and was fearing that I might run into a Stug or two but I reached the far edge of the map unmolested and then the slaughter began. The carnage was such that I started feeling bad for the enemy, hordes of panicky troops would suddenly be flushed out of cover like so many über quail only to run right into more awaiting M17's. The top scoring M17 got 59 infantry kills and some of the sweeping ones were in the high 30's before they ran out of ammo. The little BA64 didn't hit a single thing. Incidently the Finnish BA10 got one shot off before it got ventilated. These M17's are nasty...I can see their abuse in ladder games in the future. Too bad the M16 never made it in CMBO, but this more than makes it up! Gyrene
