One cannot clear mines in CM2. Takes too long in RL. Engineers can locate mines and mark them making them a bit more safe to move through. Best is to move through em as SLOW as one can. Some designers will ring a minefield with barbed wire, or describe its location. Generally, one will locate mines when someone or a vehicle gets blown up.

There can be no definitive list of gamey actions since humans are devious and can always come up with something new. All one can do is set up some parameters and if an oppo keeps acting in a way that you dislike, never play that oppo again.

The shame is that I don't have the time to study and learn to be a programmer... That's just not part of my hobby interest. Someone else did a reshade program a few months ago and that seemed to work more easily on CM2 games. Wish I could remember what that was about.

After I click on the exe a window opens and gives choices for Direct3D 9, Direct3D 10+ and OpenGL. However, I cannot select any button. Says "Pres Ctrl while clicking to extract binaries for manual installation" - However, this doesn't work.

Well, if you are willing to suffer for 500 years for things to change for the better, that's wonderful! Presumably you're not planning of having kids since their lives could be nightmarish till 2500?

As someone once said "You can't kill an idea". I doubt that this thing will ever be "over". It will evolve and transmigrate... I think Trumpy is correct - we are in a war for the survival of the soul of western civilization. Greed and globalization (the desire for cheap labor) has essentially allowed an invasion to already take place.

As am not familiar with the process you describe a good readme would be appreciated. I live in terror of screwing something up when my machine and all games run perfectly at present.

There are also some good looking wood and bamboo bunkers. The mod has buildings as well. But due to new versions of CM2, the mods need to be redone as some no longer work.

Have you tried the xnt Africa and Tropical Pacific Mods available for CMSF - am hoping they may work in CMBN(??)

When I extracted it I got "Reshade_setup_3.0.7.exe". When I opened the exe it asked me to make choices I didn't understand...

Looks like a US soldier to me. Are you unable to rename the Syrian uniforms to US? IIRC the Syrians have black and also a tiger stripe.

Is there a readme? When I ran your .exe, I was promptly given options and I had no idea what to select. You whiz kid programmer types need to give us slugs crayon-level instructions.

I would hate to see these nice kids in a real war. If CMBS has even a passing relationship to RL, a modern war could be a massacre.

That is clever. Hope it gets to be a complete mod. CMSF already has mods that do a good job simulating Pacific and Jungle.

There is a Pacific mod for CMBN - check over there. I also remember a SEALION mod for CM1. Hard to find now.

3 pages of Syrian uniform mods starting here: http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=314&func=select&id=27&orderby=2&page=4

Looks amazing. Is this designed to work with all CM2 games?

He said he couldn't find it. You have a link?

AI is probably THE most difficult ability to program. Millions, probably billions have been spent on creating predictive AI to simulate terrorist actions and other phenomena. Not sure how successful it's been as I have been out of that game for a while now. It's not something one would want BF to get sunk on trying to develop,

Ok, I have a Stalingrad mod. Thought it was Umlaut's. Apologies... Wonderful work if it's yours.

"...Battlefront lack of communication." Am always happy that BF staff spend their time working on improvements rather than chatting on these forums. Of course one hopes that is what is happening and there is no crisis.

I do find the space alien baby interesting. Whatever happened to it? https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7861/british-muslims-survey

"Vouchers"??? Don't know what you mean. Someone set up a dropbox a few weeks ago so I could upload the masses of CMSF and other games scenarios and campaigns I have for other players to d/l. Am willing to do the same for the Syrian mods I have on my HD.

Condolences mate... Hope all goes well on your travels... and we'll see you back here in due course.

Welcome. We've always had a strong Nordic contingent here from CM1 days. And "Forgotten Soldier" is a great book!
