Damned Yankees, I *knew* we should have supported 'em in Iraq!! Who'd have thought they'd treat us like this?

Gurra,Originally posted by Gurra:Hi, I specifically want to ask whether it´s a mistake or if it´s the version in fact missing. According to the enclosed JPG, there´s two winter versions. The whitewashed one is not there.
Generally, I would like to praise your initiative to upload all these great mods. I´m sucking everyone like a dry spoon. Keep it going. My sincer appreciation!
Maybe I should not forget to praise the original authors too...
Any missing bumps in some of the Mr. Noobie files would have nothing to do with Astrocat. I have forwarded what files I had left remaining in my mod file to him, what remains of them I certainly don't know, nor would Astrocat. If I didn't think I'd ever use a particular version of a mod sometimes I'd delete those particular bmps., sometimes I wouldn't, and I cannot remember which ones have been butchered.
And as Astrocat has pointed out, these files have no author identification, we are *guessing* they were from Mr. Noobie.

Sounds hopeful.Originally posted by Limey:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Err....I've got many early CMODS downloads, definately a 'T34M41', that I think is Mr. Noobs, where it should be uploaded to....or maybe I could send it directly to you?
edited to add; contact me direct if you like, e-mails in profile
2 questions 1) is it about 5.5MB in size
2) is there a pic in the zip that shows a summer T34, a whitewash T34 & a snow covered T34.
If so its the one. You can either send to AstroCat who will post or post yourself at www.cmmods.com under the section that says 'Add a CMBB Mod.'
Thanks for helping out

Anyone with Mr Noobie mods packs 'T34M41' and 'T34M43late' containing the summer, winter ww and winter snow mods please upload them. This would, I think put just about all Mr Noobies Soviet mods back up.
Thanks

My Lite-On cd works just fine.Originally posted by markl:I am going to replace my CD ROM drive and would like to know which drives will be best for the upcoming CMAK? I have noted in this forum that some drives have problems reading over-packed CD's like CMBB, so I do not wish to get one that may not work with the next game version.
About a month ago I purchased a DVD drive, every time I put a disk in it, it spins for ages and I give up and crash it., I have followed all instructions from the shop where I purchased the drive and they tell me this is common. I have checked this with friends and this does seem to be a problem with DVD drives and some others.
(Maybe why not many games come out on DVD?)
So I really do not want another one of these.
My trusty old one seems to work fine apart from the noise, so I would like to go with a normal CD drive if possible. For the price I do not want to muck around with a DVD drive as I think these things should either work straight out of the box or chuck it.
Any help would be appreciated
Go here for a reference, cheap and dependable.

Carl,Originally posted by Blanar:...... But upgrading from an AMD 800mhz to an AMD 1.2ghz, made that blue line during calculation phase of each turn move significantly faster.
If your not having framerate problems my vote would be for the CPU.
Carl
It's that blue line that I'm trying to improve upon....thanks for confirming my thoughts.

Having played CMBB now for the full year I'm considering upgrading either my CPU(P4 1.6 toP4 2.4) or my vid card(MSI G3 Ti200w/128MB to G4 Ti4200). Which will give me the most bang for my buck for playing CM? I'm thinking it's the CPU, but then again I have difficulty useing my new cell phone, which I hate BTW.
FTR, I'm not interested in playing Half-Life or any of the more demanding games.
Thanks in advance for any replies

Absolutely no need for an apology!
Your site, as others here have mentioned, has been a boon to this community, your efforts get 10 attaboys from me.
Hell man, do a poll here on how many members have your site bookmarked, just about as many who have this forum on their bookmarks I'll bet, just think about that?! All on your own also, we OWE you my friend.

This happened to me in a recent PBEM.Originally posted by redwolf:The hull MG is supposed to continue to work, but I have yet to see one fire in CMBB after gun damage (I certainly did in CMBO).
My T-34 was "gun damaged" by an errant mortar round, I was able to use the hull MG only after that. I don't necessarily see this as *gamey*!
This was the only AFV provided by the designer, and it was in a *life or death* situation. I'd call this real life drama rather than gamey.

Not to discourage you but the SB Audigy 2 works fine for me.Originally posted by Sgt AA:I´m I really the only one that having these problem with Audigy2?
I had to get my speaker/digital/analogue combination set right, which was a little confusing, but if your other games are playing fine....I'm lost( shrug )
Wait a minute...are you using XP? When I first installed XP I clicked the compatability button to Win98 and the sound was messed up, after going back and unclicking all was fine. Hope I helped.

Try turning EAX off for CM.Originally posted by Sgt AA:Is there anyone out there who's facing the same problem as I have.
My system:
Motherboard ASUS P4S8X
Grafic ASUS Ti4600
Sound Audigy2
CPU P4 2533
RAM DIMM 512
OS W98SE
Syncmaster 161T res. 1260x1024
When playing the game whith the onboard soundcard there is no problem. Whith Audigy2 the game starts just fine and playing the intro, and a few turns could work out just fine, but when coming to heavier sound effect, like artillery detonations, or in bigger scenarios the sound dissapears totally. Leaving the game and checking with DX9.0 there is no problem with Direct Sound. The game works fine at my other computers, a laptop and a desktop with Soundblaster Live5.1. When testing Onboard SC, I removed the Audigy2 and its components. When testing Audigy2 I formatted, disabled onboard sound in BIOS and made a new installation of OS and drivers.
My other games facing no problems, so this is just related to CMBB.
Please, any suggestions or help is more than welcome!

I'm useing 'em with my G3 Ti200 and it seems to be running smoothly, even though Windows cautioned me not to. I see others are useing 'em with their G4's with good results.Originally posted by GSTomEgun:I hear alot of chatter about the 44.03 drivers, aren't they just for the FX NVidia card, or can they be used for all their cards???
Tks in advance

Stingray;Originally posted by Stingray:I have a NIVDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64/model 64 Pro graphic card installed and am currently using driver version 2.94.2
Should I install the the newly released Driver Version 44.03 ??? Will it work for my card ?
Please help... I am computer illiterate.
Thanks, :confused:
Maybe you can find something in here .
I've loaded the 44.03 and it is working well with my GForce3 Ti200(even though XP cautioned me not to). Yours I'm not so sure. If your very PC challanged I'd be very cautious, sometimes it is hard to backup, wait, are you running XP? if so, it's very easy to start over.
Luck,

88mm is right on, just make sure the vid card is set to 4XAGP, this seems to help, oh, and get those new drivers Matt talks about and you should be up and running.Originally posted by MeatEtr:Scratch my last question, my motherboard is only AGP 4X. How important is the speed of the Advanced Graphics Port? Have i just pissed my money away by getting the Ultra 5800? Since the card is AGP 8X, but its restricted to AGP 4X cause of my motherboard. :confused:

Everytime you alt+a to quit the game, the previous turn is autosaved.Originally posted by GrouchoMarxist:As for the autosave bit, I honestly can't find it.

Ahhh..I'm not sure.Originally posted by redwolf:If think it is the computed opponent which is expecting tanks where they last appeared now in CMBB. The TacAI assisting the player doesn't seem to have changed in that regard.
KC, is that what you meant?
What I meant was; when playing against the AI, it now seems to remember where it was attacked from. As an example I gave the scenario Hornets Nest. I found that if I used the *shoot and scoot* command for a Nashhorn, i.e. up to the top of the ridge, duck back down and went back up to the same locale that by the 3rd time there was several enemy tanks waiting for me. If, on the other hand I got away with this a couple of times with one I had on the far left of the ridge and left him out of sight, but brought the far right up, it would take at least a couple of turns for these tanks to have me sighted in, but, when I brought the first one back up after 3-4 turns, the Allies would take a couple of turns to return its focus and so on.
Clear as mud?

Are you sure? One of the major complaints in CMBO was that the AI suffered from an incurable case of "out of sight, out of mind" (go to the forum archives and search on "Villers-Bocage," "turret," and "why."Originally posted by Offwhite:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Krazy Canuck:
Be sure to move your *shoot and scoot guys*, and not just by 10 yds., the AI will lock onto a repetitive position.

Soddball does a pretty good job in his FAQ thread.Originally posted by markshot:I just got CMBB and I see that I have all these new movement choices: move to contact, advance, assault, and human wave.
Does anyone have any good threads discussing when to use each of these? Might JasonC have written a thesis on this very topic?
Thanks!

err,....after reading your profile I'm guessing that I should be deferring to your expertise... :eek:Originally posted by Hank53:As for the Shoot-and-Scoot; I have had the same problem, coming from full defilade into hull down and I immediately get lit up with targeting lines by everything within view, even those units/vehicles that are buttoned up, not sure if that is a bug.
Be sure to move your *shoot and scoot guys*, and not just by 10 yds., the AI will lock onto a repetitive position.

Monkey Boy,
Welcome to CM....be prepared to lose a lot of your time(I couldn't say waste
) playing this addiction.To answer your questions;
1)No, but the version your asking for is on its way, CMAK or Combat Mission Africa/Italy
2)In CMBO there isn't, in CMBB, as pointed out, there is.
3)CMAK is due in fall '03, CM 2 (or is it 3?) will be a completely new engine, bigger, better, faster is due next year. There will be no fantasy editons, BFC has stated that they are about WWII and reality....that's it.
4) well there has been lot's of suggestions as to how to improve upon the actual interface but to date, this is it. BFC are champions when it comes to listening to their paying customers whine and often times when we are right they have made the changes, great game/great company.
Again welcome aboard and good hunting,
KC

Are you sure your PIII's are not hitting the T-34's? Sounds like your in that window where/when Russia had the German's outgunned. What version are you playing? It's highly unlikely, but watch where your rounds are hitting, in the early(pre-patch) release the were certain situations where your AFV's would send round after round into the crest just in front of them.....and then there some days when your guys just can't hit a thing.Originally posted by Superhero08:I am in a mission where my infantry are cleaning up but my Panzer III's kept getting destroyed by Russian t-34's. My veteran tank crews can't even seem to hit the T-34's. Whats going on? I'm in hulls down position within 1000 meters and whenever i use shoot & scoot the tanks are taken out pretty quickly. Other tanks firing from about 1300 meters are having the same amount of luck. Is like we are wholly inaccurate in every way. Any tips?
Those are bad days!KC

Restart your playback movie, zoom in very close, try this from all angles you'll see something/someone trying to take out your Matildas.
