All issues fixed for my ATI card. Thanks BF.

'Man, I'd trade my last pack of Chesterfields to hitch a ride on one of those Shermans!'
That GI may be singing a different tune after those Shermans crest that hill!

Because coffee is a perishable it does make sense.
When you buy foodstuffs/perishables you know pretty accurately what you are getting and how it will improve your life at that moment.
Software (or really any other non-perishable purchase) doesn't provide that.
Oh, I pretty much know how this piece of BFC software improves my life; hit decals allowing my Sherman to improve the ventilation on a PkW Mk IV.

Edit:
Coffee and Software aren't comparable items. Everyone stop doing it. Please. Like actually. I'll give you an award.
You're absolutely right.
- Coffee is a perishable item that many purchase and drink every day
- Software is purchased once and can be used for years
And yet, and yet...some people will spend $50-$80 on coffee every month for their daily hours worth of java rush - and then turn around and complain about spending $10 on software that they can use again and and again. And that makes NO sense.

Hello, just a quick question regarding this quote: Is there really an improvement with 3.0 regarding framerate and/or loading times? That would be reason enough for me to upgrade CMBN and CMFI to 3.0 each. Thanks in advance!
Honestly, not that I noticed. But you do get the AA guns that shoot at a/c, and the decals, and the AI triggers.
...and it's $10 bucks which is chump change these days.
-
So, summing up:
1- Was the 3.0 upgrade as significant as the 2.0 upgrade? No
2- Is it worth it? Yes
3- Was the absence of flamethrowers regrettable? Not really. The code is in and these units will really come into their own when they can actually torch stuff.
4- How was the implementation of tank riders in CMRT? They nailed it.
5- What was the impact of that feature on that game? Significant.
6- Does BF rationale for not including them 'now' make sense? Yes. From a labor point of view.
7- Could BF have softened the blow with some kind of pre-announcement? Perhaps.
8- What is the most significant addition of 3.0? AI triggers.
Yes, nice summation.
That stated - 10 pages to rebut a few guys who think $10.00 is a material investment? C'mon. Get real. It's $10 bucks. You don't want to part w/ $10 bucks then feel free to enjoy version 2.0 and stop acting like you are being taken advantage of.

Just want to say thanks Mark for your efforts here.

Welcome Lobsterboy - you came in with a bang. Such panache should not be overlooked.
Just hang around a bit and you'll realize these crusty old characters are not so bad.
I do second Sequoia's comments. Some bones would be nice!
-
Excellent - just excellent. Thanks so much.
-
Bloody great stuff JuJu!!
-
seems like an awful disadvantage
Umm...yeah! That's why they switched to the T-34/85 3 man turrent.
-
Now, was there anything else to add to those comments of his?
No, you covered his comments in detail and demonstrated how shallow they are.

Wow, you literally know nothing about the game at all! That's quite a feat. How low do you imagine the temperatures get in mid-July in Belarus?
Too late for the Rasputitsa
Too early for General Winter

Umm...friendly advice. You should pass as:
1. Many of the items you are asking for - and calling substance no less - others, myself included, would call eye candy that's nice to have but not terribly important or not important at all (Cinematography. (huh?***) Various faces for each soldier. Different turret numbers. Foodsupplies during very long battles)
2. Others are in the game - and are present in other CM modules (weather effects, realistic vehicle properties) and as you are not new to this family of games we are surprised that you do not know that.
***Cut scenes are console territory and you must know that BFG is a small company that does not have that kind of budget.

In the words of ZZ Top "every girls crazy for a sharped dressed man".
Yea, uniforms by Hugo Boss in fact:

...and he wasn't the "go along to get along" German industrialist variety either but a full blown Sieg Heiling Nazi Party member.

What happened to the OP poster? He throws a bomb in here and the least he can do is acknowledge the responses.
OH, BTW, IMO CMRT is excellent. Worth every penny.
-
Thanks for the explanation Saferight.
-
OK slow guy here. What files go into the Z folder?
The main file called Saferight's Hit Decal Mod?
Or sub files and if so which ones?
-
The basic premise of the question is wrong.
It's not an expansion, it's a new game.

Agree totally +1.

Nice shot Leatherface.

Damn! He sure is.

GUI is "horrible"? Come on man that's extreme.
Why not to do something for the interface?Larger scenes are really pain in the ***. Many of my friends have really liked the idea behind CM, but the GUI really turned them all away from this so really great game.
Many friends eh? Well I feel bad for the both of you and suggest you put a tad bit of effort into learning the UI before rendering your sweeping judgements.

Loosk great JuJu.

Great stuff Juju!
New Installers Seem to Fix the Striped Shadows Issue!

Indeed. The fixes worked for my ATI card as well.
