Moon you said "RAR compression", I haven't seen that option in Photoshop, could you find the time to be more groggy? Trying to keep track of this thread and Saving Private Ryan on the box - the sticky bombs and lack off field manuals bit...they should stick?? It's all happening 'ere in the Uk

Warning Photoshop Grogginess JPEGs are out because the pinking for transparency i.e around tank wheels and tracks etc. cannot be fuzzy, anti-aliased or have compression artifacts. The BMP file type preserve the pure pink individual pixels necessary for this effect. [ September 10, 2002, 06:03 PM: Message edited by: Wicky ]

Mac OSX only booting in 2003 by Jim Dalrymple, jdalrymple@maccentral.com September 10, 2002 6:05 am ET Apple on Tuesday told attendees of Apple Expo Paris that its Macintosh computers would lose the ability to boot in the older Mac OS 9 operating system in 2003. While customers will no longer be able to boot their machines in OS 9, they will still have the option to run the OS in the Classic environment in OS X. "We expect that 20 percent of our entire installed base will be using Mac OS X by the end of this year, making it the fastest operating system transition in recent history," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Now it's time for Apple and our third-party developers to focus all of our resources exclusively on Mac OS X, rather than dividing them between two different operating systems." Apple switched its default boot operating system at Macworld Expo in San Francisco earlier this year -- according to Apple, 75 percent of customers have chosen to keep OS X as the default operating system. Appple said in a statement today that the company has an estimated 3 million Mac OS X users and expects to reach 5 million Mac OS X users -- or more than 20 percent of the installed base -- by the end of this calendar year. "We're happy to see Apple take this next step to drive adoption of Mac OS X," said Kevin Browne, general manager of the Macintosh Business Unit at Microsoft Corp. "Mac OS X has really come of age with the release of 'Jaguar,' and we think the combination of OS X v10.2 and Office v. X for Mac provides our customers with the power and compatibility they're seeking." Hang onto your old Macs CMers....

Everything you wanted to know about CMBO and were brave enough to ask...

You can if you have one of these....

Le Tondu, glad to hear back from you,not sure why this problemn has happened to you, admittedly I zipped the file with the mac app Stuffit Deluxe 6.5 which has done the job as far as I can see from the feedback from other PC users. One thing I did noticed when zipping was the option of zipping files with a UU encoding, which I know is relevant when e-mailing attachments from the Mac to a PC user. If you want I can try to e-mail the file reencoded, just drop me a message from my personal profile. Yours determined to solve this problem

Ta muchly Nor Gitram and busboy for your feedback and endorsement. [ September 08, 2002, 03:43 AM: Message edited by: Wicky ]

Kumps Catalogue has links to a variety of mods. Tom's .etc Kumps Catalogue [ September 07, 2002, 07:55 PM: Message edited by: Wicky ]

Seems as if there are a few issues with Illustrator 10 and installing the 10.03 update from looking up some stuff on versiontracker.com. Is your Illustrator 10.03 straight of the disk or was it 10.00 updated ? Note the contact details for Shane Tracy Product Support Manager - Illustrator shtracy@adobe.com I've personally gone no further than Illustrator 9.02 at least until Adobe make it faster or more reliable.

Le Tondu can you confirm if you installed the mod in the CMBB demo or in your full CMBO? I tried to look your e-mail up in your profile but you don't have one. I suspect from looking at the data in CMBO in Virtual PC that the explosion there has 10 bmps for the animation against 6 in the CMBB demo. Therefore the mod would look odd if you ran it in the full CMBO. Please let me know - Cheers Until it's sorted I'll add a Health Warning. [ September 08, 2002, 03:39 AM: Message edited by: Wicky ]

Ta Richard, Your appreciation is much appreciated , Thanks to the new Mac bmp folder everything is now within easy reach of Photoshop! And an unashmed bump for myself....

With many thanks to m.bates for the original idea and mod. Edit: FOR CMBB DEMO ONLY I do not recommend installing these mods in CMBO or full CMBB. This mod has 6 frames of animation for the downsampled demo while the full CMBO has 10 frames. End Edit New_shockwave.zip Uses the stock graphics but with an added ring/sphere of flame to catch the eye a bit more. New_shockwave2.zip Uses the stock graphics but with an added expanding ring/sphere to catch the eye a bit more. [ September 07, 2002, 06:29 PM: Message edited by: Wicky ]

Thrown from about 25m direct and instant 'hit' and KO, bunged another just to make sure. Sweet.

Not sure if this will help, as I know s*d all about PCs but from the top of my head, have you deleted the resolution preferences ie CMBB prefs? If not the specialists I'm sure will be along shortly to cure you

I used the Rusky HQ unit with binocs in a forward section of trees to ID the HQ tanks - takes a turn or three) and prioritised the ATG (vets positioned on the flanks, basically lower experience in depth) to take them out . This meant keeping ATGs hidden and letting the 'herd' of panzers pass by until the HQ tanks presented themselves. Once the HQs are taken out the rest become prone to routing, panicking and only able to act in self defence. KVs went in to round up the rest . Tested with a 200% bonus to axis AI in xtreme FOW.

Nope, not seen this 'pollution' on my Mac DP450Mhz Mac, System 9.2.2 with aftermarket ATI AGP Radeon 32mb, Open GL 1.2.4 IMHO Check that your graphics card drivers are the latest versions and if you have the time try updating your OS from 9.1 to 9.2.2 (d/l available from Apple website, admittedly quite large d/l). Hope that helps let us kno how you get on

LOL My sweet 'ol mum will be my translator when the full version comes out to 'help' with understanding the Hungarians Meavon yuckypoo or sumthink.... [ September 06, 2002, 03:22 AM: Message edited by: Wicky ]

Clicked the link on the page with the pic, this takes me to your hostd d\l page but all I get is a 4k file through IE DL manager which contains the HTML for the page?!? Tried using Interarchy which gives me a 4k text file of HTML of the d/l page..... Ta for e-mailing it . By the way I'm on a Mac Edit: FOA M Bates Fron the files I notice you've edited them in Photoshop and saved them as PS bmps. I've found you need to reopen them in the mac's Pictureviewer app and then export them and save to get it compatible with CM. It explains the PC users probs e-mail me back if you need to. Hi, If you click the Shockwave link, it takes you to a page with a preview pic and a link to download the zip. Don't worry, I will email the mod to you (plus anyone else who prints their email in this topic).</font>

citadel HQ pnzr ?bug? I wondered if I was the only one to have noticed this 'glitch'. Interesting that infantry HQ units can perform C&C to tanks. [ September 05, 2002, 01:15 PM: Message edited by: Wicky ]

In the citadel scenario if you give the germans a 200% bonus you get a bucket load of xtra tanks but they don't come in platoons with xtra HQ tanks. The original HQ tanks seem to have a limit on how many they can manage. With no infantry with HQ units to aid in their C&C the panzers are quite prone to rout and panic.
