    MasterGoodale, I know you can't hurry genius, but have you got an ETA on your fiendish creation? Soddball's getting twitchy - I think the tension is starting to get to him. I'm sure when it arrives it will merit more than a GRR rating, but now I'm thinking we might be better playing a QB while you fine tune your scenario building-skills for general consumption by the gaming public?

I swear there will be more TNT to chuck from both sides you'll be calling it "The Gray Blizzard of 2002"!! :mad: :mad:

    AGGRGRAGRagrAGRAGRAGRAGRAGRR!! :mad:

    That's a remarkably generous offer, MG. I have to admit I'm seriously intrigued to see what a man of your obviously special talents can come up with. I'm game if Soddball is.

    Chin chin,

    OK. Now I'm guessing you might need an email address? Will this be a random computer-type thingy, or a Soddball special ... where a handful of my green, pitchfork waving, Molotov cocktail-chucking heroes face a battalion of your evil elite sturmtigers, which are full to to the brim with bitter, molten TNT (insert frightfully angry red faces here)?

    Yours quizzically,

    Mirrors for CDV patch?

    As far as I'm aware that's the first time my sausage fingers have worked faster than my grey matter and I've omitted the second, silent "d" from your moniker.

    Still, I do detect a cry from the heart. For such a bluff fellow you're a surprisingly sensitive soul. So I offer my sincerest apologies and a promise that I will be gentle with you if and when we meet on the battlefield.

    Stiff upper lip old boy,

    Patch link missing from CDVs site

    Unfortunately it's not even an option, unless you know a kind-hearted American player who will do it for you...

    Prompt support, larger playerbase and no bizarre compatibility problems.
    Amen to that ... you're pushing against an open door as far as I'm concerned, Brother Quintus smile.gif

    V1.01 CDV

    in Combat Mission - Tech Support

    Posted

    Hello Sailor smile.gif

    Try this link:

    Download

    Then click: Download starten @gamesweb.com

    I've just checked and it does the trick for me.

    As I understand it, the reason our patch is more than twice the size is that it contains textures that were omitted from the CDV version of the game.

    It could also have something to do with the fact that as far as I can tell it is a bumper three-in-one package, for the German, French and English versions of the game.

    Which is nice.

    Can someone please put me out of my misery - is there a dedicated CDV CMBB forum?

    Bottoms up,

    Teddy

    Patch for French version

    in Combat Mission - Tech Support

    Hi Brill,

    As far as I can tell you just need to download any CDV patch - when you double-click to install, it will ask you to select a language.

    However, I must say the instructions seem less than clear and I'm not particularly impressed by CDV's service so far - cut-down manual, no decent forum (unless I'm missing it and somebody can point me in the right direction), patch that is twice the size, no SS runes (hardly a showstopper but I'm starting to feel pissy), etc, etc.

    I would really appreciate it if when the next Combat Mission game appears we could be allowed to buy direct from Battlefront. It may cost a few quid more, but by jingo it would be worth it.

    Lumbergh,

    The Combat Mission series are the only games I give HD space to apart from GPL (not that I'm an arbiter of good taste).

    All joking apart, they're probably more alike than you think.

    The original product was ground-breaking, there was excellent support from the programmers with various patches and fixes, an enthusiastic and dedicated community built up, and the mods and add-ons are simply jaw-dropping (if anyone has an old copy of GPL kicking around, I'd recommend a trip to the GPLEA site).

    Plus I once thought that fitting a panzerfaust to my Cooper would improve my chances of winning a race...

    And I can tell you've never played it - not only is dialing in downforce settings and choosing tyre compounds strictly for wimps, it was an option that Jimmy Clark and Graham Hill never had in 1967.

    The rake of the car could be used to acheive a primitive aero effect (although this doesn't appear to be modelled in GPL) and the rubber was so hard it would last for several races.

    To bring this back on topic I would like to extend the warm, sweaty hand of friendship to Mr Marchand - if you want some illuminating discussions on tactics, generally well-meaning advice, heated debates on the merits of various tanks, or an advanced lesson in statistics, you've come to the right place.

    I can't pretend to understand half of it, but it's very entertaining anyway smile.gif

    CDV Patch Download

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    Evening.

    Same deal, so I just downloaded the version from the gamesweb.com link.

    It doesn't seem to matter which flag you click on (apart from the French, where I can see no mention of the patch) - they both lead to the same download page.

    I haven't applied it yet (I need to reinstall CMBB again first), but when I double-click on the installer it asks me which language I'd prefer.

    I'm therefore guessing (probably wrongly) that in the spirit of European unity it's a patch that doesn't recognise trivial little things like countries or borders.

    All this excitement is too much for me. I'm off to bed with Cocoa and Cookies.

    CMBO keeps trying to reinstall...

    Just visited the CDV forums - they're not exactly "happening", are they?

    I couldn't find a specific messageboard for Combat Mission and I had to blow the cobwebs off my monitor after visiting the general one smile.gif

    Thanks for the tip, Len. I don't want to disable autorun permanently, but I'll try holding down "shift" next time I stick in the CD.

    Toodle pip,

    Teddy Boy
