I "bend" the human language every day, it's called slang.

Damn, I rather liked handing the AI its ass every time, now you've gone and done it.

Ok, check it out, I got the v1.5 of the mod manager, but now the new one doesn't even recognize the bmp's in the folder. I'm now in the middle of figuring that mess out, and since I revamped my whole cm files, new mod manager, cleaned out scenarios, reset data folder, now I can't even play because the damn mod manager doesn't even see the bmps and sounds. UGGGHHHHH, i can't play with the textures that come with the game, it's just one thing after another this week.

The last ones to do this I can remember were from Combat Missions: Pershing,Sherman Pack(only a couple were corrupted but it screwed the whole thing), that's all I can remember. I wouldn't think they were corrupted on the site, I've gotten stellar mods there before and I get a ****load of scenarios, plus a lot of people go there, and I've never heard of this problem.

Yeah, my money's on a hardware problem with the monitor itself. U said garage sale right? did they tell you why they were selling it?

So the conversion works with the macmod manager then? I thought it didn't, I guess I misunderstood the posts on the sight.

finally...ok, I'm running on a mac, I use the MacMod manager program, I never get any suspicious messages as far as downloading and decompressing the zip files. My problem is when I open the MacMod mgr, the above stated happens in the preview window before conversion, and it doesn't happen to all, but now that I think about it, some I've tried to download numerous times months apart and the same bmp's were corrupted. Now I'm beginning to think I should update my mod manager. You think?

The AI, well, you get used to the AI after a while. That does not,however, make the game any less fun...

Well, it's a moot point anyway cause tanks just can't provide cover, it's not in the game, but it was a stimulating conversation none the less.

This game will probably end up taking over most minutes of spare time you have left. . congratulations, **** is tight.

Get that mac conversion up and running...please. I got a severe hankering for good ole desert warfare.

You were allies? I'm not clear on who's who. .a lot of times, if your playing the AI, it will group it's forces almost right on top of each other, and on full FOW, you would see the end results of a bomb dropped on the group just like the picture.

I don't buy computer games anymore, but I get playstation titles.

yeah. .but that's a pain in my ass, I think something's corrupting them on their way to my hard drive from wherever they're coming from. . .and by the way, thank you everybody for your timely and large number of posts in regards to this problem. . .really.

Does anyone know what to do about the following, if anything can be done. A lot of times when I'm previewing a mod before I convert it, the picture is crossed by a rainbow of colored lines over the texture, completely corrupting part of the whole mod and thus making it utterly useless to me. Could this be the mod manager I'm using? the zipped files? what? And before I get crucified, I did a search and it wasn't working so I'll just post it.

To get the hell out of dodge with as little delay as possible.

Allright. . .(cocks a shotgun) This is a muthaphuckin stickup. RAISE EM UP CHUMPS.

I just wanna see how they'd make it look. . .

Do I have what it takes to be a Peng? more importantly, does a peng have what it takes to be me?

nukes. just wanna see a couple battalions instantly incinerated.

I guess it's supposed to be a friendly game of insult exchanging, I could give a crap. I try not to read them. . .

true.

This game does teach you something everytimes you play, that's the redeeming quality, you never get bored. I wasn't referring to doing the samething all the time necessarily, I was wondering if anyone uses a "playbook", so to speak. A collection of remembered responses or orders to any given situation, personally, I'm a fly by the seat of your pants kind of guy, but I've kept a few things that work in my head that I can whip out at crunch time. ..

I'm just curious, so nobody has to answer this, but how do you handle orders and tactics for each seperate battle? Do you have a set of planned formations(preset attack and defense positions, etc.) that you choose during battle according to best suited and so on. Or do you "shoot from the hip"? staying flexible as far as position, formation, and assigned tasks go during any given battle? Are you taking pages from your textbook, or are you "making this up as I go along"?
