...pssst, hey, kiwi joe... ...will the GTS give me pretty transparencies and enable "high quality" smoke/explosions? i want the good stuff... [ 06-01-2001: Message edited by: Peter Panzer ]

...TG, mind if i tag along for a bit? ...i too would like to hear some suggestions. my voodoo 3 is, for the most part, a swell card, but the "blocky smoke" and vanilla explosions are a real drag. [ 06-01-2001: Message edited by: Peter Panzer ]

...thanks for the input...

...ahh yes, the mods - i believe i lost count somewhere around download number 40.... ...i don't think i have ever come across a game with such a consistently high level of independent work both in quality AND quantity.... honestly, are these guys chained up somewhere?

...a nip, a tuck and i don't really know why, but all seems fine now - quite odd - sorry about all that. perhaps i was a bit too anxious to begin... so, 1.12 is the most current version, yes? Pvt Ryan: aw hell, no need for that, I appreciate your effort... [ 05-29-2001: Message edited by: Peter Panzer ]

you guys are quick... okay, so no 1.05? right? ...and playing from the hard drive? ...lord almighty, thanks for the responses, i'm impressed...

...the version i received in the mail is version 1.12...according to the 1.05 "readme," the 1.05 patch is all i need in order to update to the latest version of the game, correct/incorrect? alright, i posted on the "tech support" board as well.. ...is this what you fellows refer to as the "fog of war?"

gunnergoz: first, thanks for the quick reply. well, i double clicked and was immediately greeted with a black screen and an unresponsive system (ctrl-alt-delete saves the day)...what say you? bad download maybe? also, do you have any thoughts on my first question as well? again, my thanks...

hello gents: ...while i was installing my recently delivered copy of the game, a few questions arose... **certainly it is possible to play the game from one's hard drive, right?** ...you see, despite running the "full install" and creating a shortcut to my desktop of the .exe file (from the "cmbo" folder created on my drive), whenever i attempt to play, i receive a message that the cd-rom is required even though it is in the drive. creating a shortcut from the actual play disk to my desktop solves this issue, but is that really necessary? ...about the 1.05 patch... **does the 1.05 .exe file need to be moved to the files on the actual play disk?** when i moved the 1.05 .exe to the "cmbo" folder on my hard drive the update did not appear on the lower right-hand corner of the main screen, why?... ...i could use a few vets to help me get started, thanks in advance...

dandy stuff, don't mind if i do...

...i tried a '44 scenario and sure enough.... absolutely superb all around. ...taking overly excited, wild shots i reckon - ain't got no fire discipline! **[sincere apologies to the "blockheads" at battalion]** thanks for setting me straight.

...damn shame.

...panzershreck and M9 "bazooka" please...

…hello to all of you doggies, tommies and landsers… admittedly, I am something of a soft-bellied recruit regarding this entire scene, that is to say, I am as short on perspective as I am on experience – so, bear such things in mind while I spin the following yarn… …after being thoroughly impressed by the demo, I ordered the full version of the game a few days ago. While waiting for it to arrive, I have been whorishly gobbling up mods from various sites when I noticed that… **** the .bmp files supplied with Ed Durkin’s infantry uniform mod “US ’44 Infantry, US ’44 Airborne, US ’45 Infantry…Version 1.1” and those with DD’s “Full Uniform Pack,” both of which are hosted by the CMHQ site, produce different graphics when applied to the actual game as opposed to what is presented in the sample “thumbnails” on the site.**** ** [uS uniforms – CMHQ displays: grunts w/green trousers and tan shirts. CM displays: grunts w/ green trousers and shirts, also, the helmets included netting, which tipped me off that, yes, the new files had installed successfully, but without the “advertised” visuals. Volksgrenadier uniforms – CMHQ displays: soldiers w/ green tinted “feld grau” uniforms. CM displays: soldiers w/camo smocks and blue/gray trousers, camo helmets. worlds apart from the thumnail, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless - they actually look fantastic...]** …at first I believed this to be the result of a simple oversight by the obviously dedicated fellows who manage the site, but then again… “CMHQ,” eh? perhaps this nuisance is actually a splendidly clever method of simulating the rear-echelon blockheads back at battalion lousing up the objectives for the poor mudrollers in the field, yes? honestly sirs, isn’t this taking the entire “historical accuracy” routine a bit too far? I too am a genuine sucker for detail, but, if possible, could the files displayed in the thumbnails be made available for download, please? [my petty b.s. aside, this gaming community has a truly unrivaled group of mod-makers and site designers. I am both grateful and awestruck, thankyou.] [ 05-24-2001: Message edited by: Peter Panzer ]
