    AI cheats! (with real data)

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    Love it!

    I'm in the middle of an intermediate-level statistics course and almost posted (in the general forum, naturally) a question about Bayes' Theorem a month or so ago. I can do the calculations but I was/am having trouble understanding what it really means.

    "But who would know THAT sort of thing?", I asked. :D

    Guy

    P.S. If anyone can explain Bayes' Theorem to me, please do!!

    Stupid person needs help posting screenshots

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    See subject.

    I did a search that didn't turn up much, and though my better judgment says "post this in the tech support forum so only those who are used to people like me will see it"...

    Is there a step-by-step tutorial somewhere that walks us "cranially challenged" folks through posting screenshots? I have saved a bunch of them that I'd love to share but I don't know how. Is there free webspace out there to host a few screenies at a time? How can I use my AOHell homepage to do this? I need help both with the putting them on the web part and the linking to them part.

    Any and all help would be appreciated! Putdowns too so long as they are witty and/or original!!

    Have you been playing too much CMBB?

    Tonight as I was carrying groceries in from the car, I glanced down at the Diet Dr. Pepper 12-pack and did a double take. I saw the outline of a vehicle beside what looked like the word "Panzerjager"; what it really said was was "Wranglers", as in the Jeep SUV. They are doing some kind of giveaway. (Of SUVs, not tank hunters.)

    I think this counts as a sign of playing too much Combat Mission.

    The Scenario Depot has gone ?? OK I'VE FOUND IT

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    It still won't let me post a review for CMBB scenarios. I get the same error message as before. :confused: :(

    Admiral Keth, you don't really need to go to work every day, do you?? ;)

    And though I really appreciate all the work everyone does to maintain their CM websites, I think having a place like the Depot where a (nearly) comprehensive list of scenarios is available is a great benefit rather than having them just scattered all over kingdom come.

    Enemy's Morale Shown--Bug?

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    I'm not crazy, I tells ya, I'm not! I don't care what Madmatt and that team of psychiatrists say!!

    Why would part of the FOW be turned off (enemy's global morale and morale status labels displayed on screen) when the rest of the FOW stuff was still on (partially identified units, unit markers displayed on-screen, etc.)?? Will send the file when I get home.

    Hmm... doing a little sleuthing.

    Seems to be some sort of FOW issue. I've never played with no FOW so I didn't know that you could see your opponent's units' morale playing that way. (Set up a QB with no FOW to verify this.) But two weird things.

    First, the scenario I mention above was started and saved last night and I know I was using extreme FOW. When I opened it tonight it had apparently switched settings. And second, in this scenario I could also see the AI's global morale, which (according to the no FOW QB I set up) you aren't supposed to be able to do.

    Anyway, I'm confused. (I know, what else is new...)

    Just watched my Russian FT shoot some hot stuff at a German MG? from about 35 meters. I had the labels turned on and watched as the game displayed the enemy's morale go to pinned... then panic... then briefly back to pinned... then whoooooooosh back to panic.

    What's going on? Never seen anything like this before. Not that it's a big deal, but still strange.

    Admiral,

    I tried to post a CMBB scenario review last night and got an error message. (Can't remember what the message was, it may have been a 404 error.) Are you sure it's working as it should?

    Also, will you eventually have the scenarios that came on the CMBB CD available for review as well? Not sure what the ability would be of you to post them for download since they're copyrighted, though I know you have the original CMBO scenarios on the site.

    Thanks for all your efforts; your work is of huge benefit to the CM community.

    OK, what he said. smile.gif

    [Actually, since they are on backorder it doesn't look like getting them in a big hurry is going to happen in any case. Let's see how many folks we are talking about; I like to think that people are basically good, but I'd prefer to not have hundreds of dollars invested in this for complete strangers...]
