P.S. Somethings just clicked, could it be that I don't have Apple Quick Time installed on my computer?

Hmmm, just checked, it's definitely a wav file, and has no letter behind the number, it's numbered the same as all other wav files in the folder!

I d/l the "Kelly's Heroes" sound mod, copied it into the .wav folder of CMBO, but I don't hear it? Anyone know why? :confused:

Hi I'm still a newbie, having only bought the game 4 days ago, so I took this advice, and d/l all 8 of the "No rest for the weary" scenario's. I'm currently battling my way through the first one, and it's great fun as well as helping me find my way around the game. I have to say too, I love modders, they are brilliant and I have d/l a lot, including some sky mods, terrain mods and loads of others, they really enhance the playing of this game. I also might add, I've never been a wargamer, more an RTS gamer, so I play this game with no pre-concieved ideas about war games. Guess that makes it much more fun huh? Oh, and I see I jumped the gun, as the sequel is due out any time, oh well, I guess I will have to say goodbye to another £30 then [ June 24, 2002, 07:18 AM: Message edited by: athkatla ]

Yep, that's exactly how my labels looked, only in yellow, but I deleted the 30002 bmp, and renamed the 30002b&w and now everything is hunky dory (thats ok in English) Thanks to everyone for their kind help!

Ahhhhhhh, Mike thanks, I have installed the Gunmetal Mod, what do I do about the fonts? P.S. It's ok Mike thanks, I went and read the read-me and have altered the bitmaps as instructed, everything is fine and readable now Once again, many thanks [ June 23, 2002, 10:29 AM: Message edited by: athkatla ]

I've been married 31 years this year, so I don't think I have any problems with an impending divorce Being unemployed certainly allows me to play games as long as I want, and most evenings that means till 2 to 3am in the morning

Can anyone please tell me why I have unreadable building labels? They are all in yellow, and sorta blurred, making them totally unreadable. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Scheer, I've discovered I'm not very good on attack, so I'm going to play a few games on defence and see how that goes! [ June 23, 2002, 08:43 AM: Message edited by: athkatla ]

I got one of my Brit Rifle Squads in a bit of a predicament last night, advancing to contact they got hit on by a German HMG Team on a hill overlooking the valley they was crossing. I lost half the squad and tried to get the rest to withdraw to the safety of some woods behind them, but they wouldn't, or couldn't! So I thought, to hell with this, and set them to run up the hill straight at the German HMG Team in their foxhole. Imagine my suprise when the Germans broke, and left the cover of their foxhole and hightailed it off to the rear, leaving it conveniently for my winded, but grateful tommies I'm a newbie, but I thought this little action was worth reporting as I was quite chuffed with my Brit Infantry, being an ex infantry man myself, oh and I just LOVE this game, only had it for 2 days, but it's been keeping me in front of my computer for hours on end [ June 23, 2002, 04:47 AM: Message edited by: athkatla ]

I just got the game yesterday, and there is a bonus CD with it now, Scenario's and over 360 MGB of Mods. One question, why is it in the CMOS that a lot of the MODS are unavailable? And another question, sorry, I'm a newbie, can anyone suggest a couple of scenario's that are best for a newbie to start with, apart from the tutorial? Thanks in anticipation!

I ordered my copy on the 17th June, its now the 20th, and I recieved an email from amazon.co.uk this morning, saying it had been dispatched by Royal Mail, 1st class, I am expecting it to arrive tomorrow, and yes, I live in England

As an ex MFC (Mortar Fire Controller) with the British Army I agree with this. Getting smoke, and light at night, on target was totally dependant on weather conditions and some good calculations by the MFC. I've seen many a smoke screen wasted due to high winds and incorrect calculations. It would be an interesting addition to CM2!

Just to say thanks to all you guys for answering my post. I'm still waiting for my copy of the game, damn it, why does it take so long!!!!!

Hmmmmmmmmm, now your giving me a lot to think about, lol, oh well, starting with a new game is never easy, I guess I'll have a look round all the excellent sites I have already found for this game, and trust to trial and error (with not too many errors, I hope!) to find out what I like best. Again, thanks to everyone for your advice I have a AMD Athlon 900mhz processor, and pretty good graphics, and when I last checked, about 13Gb of HD memory still available, so I think I'll be ok on the hardware side!

Once again, thanks, was just looking at th CMMOS v3.02. As I'm buying the patched version, do I need to d/l and install CMMOS v3,02?

Thanks guys for your quick responses, I can see this is a busy forum

Hi guys, I've just ordered Combat Mission, and I wondered if anyone could advise me on patches/upgrades etc. for graphics and sound that I would require to make the game look and sound better, I understand there are quite a few around, but which ones should I download? Thanks in anticipation
