I'm pretty sure they have to have someone in them to go anywhere. I don't know what the capacity is - probably the transport class will give you an idea.
That makes so much sense it hurts. I guess I was assuming it had a "driver" or something. Feelin' stupid now....

I am playing a scenario using assault boats. Have to admit, in my memory, I don't ever remember using them and it shows. I landed a couple of platoons across a river and now want to get the boats back to pick up round two. But the move command is disabled? Not sure what is going on. Are they one time use? Are they "grounded" and maybe I have to push them back in to the water? I've already wasted a 60 second turn trying to get the damn things to work and can't afford to waste another. Any help appreciated.

Joachim: das war als Scherz gemeint.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that to the wife... Takes all the fun right out of it.

I don't think it is entirely pointless in that simply accepting JC as being correct without thinking through its ramifications would have been wrong and left many people - or at least those who bother to read the thread - believing they possibly had been innocently cheating.
Oh, I think you misinterpreted what I said. I said people found attempting to argue or discuss anything with JC to be pointless. I never implied anyone believed him to be correct. In fact, at this point, I think most people know him well enough that they simply don't bother for the simple fact that, as I said, it's pointless to hope for a rational discussion once he makes his mind up. I give you this thread as exhibit A. Or exhibit 10,593,543 depending on which system you want to use.

It seems a shame that no one takes the time to challenge your ideas - normally.
Think back to my "banging your head against a brick wall" comment that you found cryptic at the time. Sometimes a pointless endeavour is just that, pointless.

Again, this argument did not start out from bashing people who place a single gun once in a while in the exploit position, but the "there's no gamey play" crowd turned it that way.
Actually it started when someone that most people would never even worry about being a cheater was accused of being a cheater without any basis whatsoever. Who would have ever that such toolish behavior would result in him defending himself...

That is an excellent quote. I missed it on weBoB because I didn't follow that thread to long. Definitely applies to more than chess. CM, poker, etc. Many other too I am sure. But I've seen many people personally take the fun right out of the two I mentioned, either in a drive for excellence in what is simply a computer game, or in an effort to take something that was fun and try to make a living from it. I hope to never reach that point in either case. I think I'm safe.

Mark, your three comments in the thread have been cryptic - except possibly the last one : ). If you have a point to make on the game please feel free to expand as I am not entirely sure what you are saying about the gun problem that JC raised. Have you a solution?
I, like you, don't really worry about such issues. I really don't think I've run in to this in a game in my limited CM experience. Therefore I don't really think a "solution" is necessary. My point, which I didn't think was THAT cryptic given your experience here at BTS, is that arguing with JC once he has decided to dig is heels in is totally and utterly pointless. No rational exchange of ideas is going to take place. He has no desire to engage in any sort of meaningful dialog or discussion. And I think you fully understand this. i.e. I think now you're just playing with him and get a sort of perverse pleasure from it. Therefore, I will leave you to it. :-)

DT, is your other hobby banging your head endlessly against a brick wall?
-
Did I not read here also that the load time of the Firefly is greatly exaggerated compared to what it was in real life? i.e. It fires many more rounds in a minute of game time than it should.
-
? Insightful or inciting?
Speaking from experience...

You guys just don't get it do you?

Shift+G I believe, not Q.

Well, things move on, I suppose - at one time I simply did not understand what was being criticised and why, now I understand a little more, and I don't like what I see. I just have a natural aversion to the abuse of power, and can't help looking around for a stick, I guess ....
Besides which clarity is always better than obfuscation, although it might not be anywhere near as comfortable!
While I agree with you on both points, I am just pointing out the reality of the situation for you so that you aren't caught unawares. Your first sentence leads me to believe you understand the situation here and that's fine. I just didn't want you treading on the thin ice that is this forum without knowing where you stood. So long as you know, mission accomplished.
-
Ahhh ... I've just been pointed at a forum (I imagine posting a link to it is a bannable offence, so I daren't) wherein lies the explanation for what I have "done wrong"!
.... edited for brevity ....
Now I do. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
I was with the others in thinking the criticism of your posts was totally unwarranted. Now I think you're poking the hornet's next with a stick. If that's your intention, by all means, continue. If not, duck.

MattJames - the file should be called Combat Mission BB Prefs. It has those spaces and no extension. It should most likely be located somewhere within the User folder since Vista likes to grab any user created data and stuff it there, rather than allowing files to be written to the Program Files directory. Under Windows XP this file would be in the same directory as the CMBB executable.
Just as a test, I searched for this file on my Vista laptop. I couldn't find it.
-
Oh, that's cool, two PC's is all I need. And if I read RW's post right, I won't need a no CD crack, it's now no CD anyways. Sounds like it's all good. Of course I'm just a Vista "luser" (50% of the time) so I realize I probably just don't know any better... Thanks guys.

What exactly does this DRM involve? I've seen it mentioned in several places, but don't actually know what it entails. I purchased all three games, so I'm not worried about getting "caught" with an illegal copy or anything like that. But I do plan to have the games installed on multiple machines (XP desktop and, with the patch, planned to use it on Vista laptop). I also use the noCD exe files so I don't need the CD. Does DRM mean I won't be able to have it on both machines? Or that the noCD exe file won't work? Both? Neither?
-
Just wondering, did either of you with trouble try the patch demo? That worked great for me. Wonder if it did for you too? Would hate to have the demo work but the patch screw things up.
-
I don't care about the $10, although if was a Vista luser I would mind that my DRM-free CMx1 games are suddenly under eLicense.
Edited: Ah why bother? Disregard.
-
Since the other thread was locked without seeing any updates, what is the status? I know there was a post two days ago saying it was possibly fixed but still needed tested. Not seeing anything on the patch page indicating whether it indeed has been fixed or not. Thanks.
-
I think this is my final post on this since I honestly don't particularly care and the derailing that this thread took was painful.
.
That's putting it mildly. So what is the status of the CMAK version issue? Didn't see anything on the front page yet.
-
Fixed the problem with Vista and the nVidia 8400M GS laptop card.

Yes, we'll make an announcement. You will simply be able to re-download from your customer account as we're going to update the file there. Already working on it in fact, but due to the number of files that need update (full versions, too, as well as bundle) it will take most of today I think.

Later TODAY? Awesome, I can live with that!
Someone clue me in how to use assault boats
in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

That's what I sort of figured after watching the painfully slow first crossing. Lesson learned. My other platoon is just going to have to hoof it I reckon. But I probably wasted a good four minutes or so positioning them where I did for their 2nd crossing. No wait, I mean I have them kept well in reserve! Yea that's it!!
Thanks all...
