Looks great and i would like to use it, but without being CMMOS compatible, i'll surely not.

Very good work - as always. Thank you RK. Also discovered your alternative flames and your Gun Tractor mod.

I also had this problem. Check out the "Too less sounds - sound stealing" thread in support forum. There i posted how i got rid of it.

I use FlashGet, the best download-accelerator, and have no probs with Tom's site.

Fantastic! But PLEASE: CMMOS comliant!

Soon available at Tom's CMHQ, too.

Ufz-Patch_v1.05 (ONLY for CDV v1.01Deutsch versions of CMBB!) is available at the CombatMission database cm.cozog.com. This patch corrects rank-abbreviations (i.e. "Unt" -> "Ufz"), gives the Waffen-SS the correct levels of ranks, so that the ranks fit to Heer (i.e. Heer: Major, same rank in Waffen-SS: SS-Sturmbannführer), corrects a lot of misspellings and still wrong namings (i.e. a unit in the second floor: "bedeckter Boden" -> "Obergeschoss").

Columbus, sent you an email, but registered in the meanwhile directly on the site. Cheers, Schoerner

Are you sure about this? What i found now about daisy-chained mines, sounds a bit different: the connection between such mines is made with an explosive fuse. This fuse is called "Knallzündschnur".

Searching for over 1 hour the net, but can't find any informaton about it. Anyone who can enlighten me?

I located the problem: i copied the zipped mod-archives into CMMOS MOD-folder and after pressing ADD MOD in CMMOS the zip-archive had a size of 0 byte. I also didn't know, that the mod-zip-files are containing special rulesets (i thought they are already installed with CMMOS) and need to be added seperately. When i store the MOD.zip files in another folder and ADD it, the MOD.zip is left unchanged and everything works perfectly. [ November 22, 2002, 11:01 PM: Message edited by: Schoerner ]

Gordon, i have a prob, too. I can add rulesets and also MODs and the preview works, too, but the symbols in the main screen stay disabled. The only symbols working are the backup/restore symbols. I also see only very few symbols, i.e. only one for the german whitewashed vehicles (and it is disabled), although i added all zips available on CMHQ. After a fresh install and only adding the Whitewashed-Mod, the log-file shows this: CM Mod Option Selector Version 4.00 CMMOS install folder is f:\cmbb\CM Mod Option Selector\ Processing "f:\cmbb\CM Mod Option Selector\CMBB\RuleSet150\Info.txt" CMMOS version: 4.00 Creating buttons for "Winterfahrzeuge, dunkelgrau" Processing "Rule150-000.txt" Processing "Rule150-001.txt" WARNING: Key file "53470.txt" has an invalid extension WARNING: Key file "57240_ww.txt" has an invalid extension Revert to summer BMPs pressed.

Vikrant, did you already read the excellent thread Debate On CMBB Infantry Model? Lot's of tips and explanations for CMBB.

Wow! A behaviour critiziced by me, too, turns into a much more realistical improvement! But this should be mentioned in the manual's chapter for former CMBO players. BTW: just played a scenario and saw a AI-controlled tank getting under fire from 2 Panthers. The IS2 withdrawed and 2 turns later it came around the other corner of the building and knocked out one Panther with a flank shot. What an excellent AI this "game" has!

Do you think it is fair, to plot your opinion about strategic theories, but as soon as someone has a different opinion, to say that you opened the thread just because of talking about the Stalingrad-Pack? BTW: i don't see a flame-war. I see interesting opinions here, but maybe because not all agree with your trivial look at this topic, you don't like it, if the topic you brought up, is discussed further? It seems this is all very trivial and clear for you. OK, then it can't be hard for you to answer following question: What do you think, would have happened, if there hadn't been the 6.Armee in Stalingrad and if 6.Armee would have instead gone further south? What forces would have prevented the five russian armies to cutoff the complete HGr.Süd? Well to soak up 5 armies for 2 months and to give HGr. Süd the possibility to build up a front, is no slowing down? If you have facts about german forces that would had been strong enough to hold these armies back from closing the pocket for complete HGr. Süd if 6.Armee would have been in the south, then please tell me. It could be, that turning torwards Stalingrad was a mistake. Judged from a point of view, knowing how the battle ended. But when the decisions were made, nobody could look into the future. And what if Stalingrad would have been taken? Even 60 years later, this isn't clear! And you call this decision stupid, although 60 years later, the military-historicans can't judge it clearly? Before calling a historic decision stupid (i even disagree that this is allowed), you should always take the circumstances and informations into account, the people during their time had at their hands - instead of trivially judging with a controversal "knowledge" 60 years later. BTW: not during Stalin Bolshevism turned into a Terrorregime. Even the, from many left artists today still admired Lenin already had murdered ~14 million people - MUCH MUCH more than Hitler murdered - and during peace, not war. Yes Lenin murdered by far more than 2 times more people, than jews were killed by Nationalsozialism. But these victims don't count, i know. Your way of argueing, is well known and widely, all the time and everywhere practiced: as long as it's possible to declare Hitler as unique evil, every murdered person is celebrated and he is uncomparable evil. But as soon as someone stands up and says, that the still tolerated Communism has killed 10 times more people, first it is forbidden to "compare" (by the same people who are all the time talking about numbers of victims) and then the systems are equated and the difference of 50 million murdered people is neglected. By the same people which usually say "Who saves only one life, saves the world." Phrases used for political reasons, only. Not more. [ November 21, 2002, 07:22 PM: Message edited by: Schoerner ]

Interesting thoughts. Definately worth for deeper investigation. At least my partial informations are not that good for a generalization for the whole war in the east. Thanks.

Sgt_Kelly: No, not wondering. Just distractions - like always in mass-media, too.

Das Schwarzbuch des Kommunismus (The Blackbook of Communism?), Stephane Courtois. Very interesting and also demasking the selective perception of mass-media and history-books. Yes, the great western Allies supported and helped a system to survive, that had murdered already under Lenin ~14 million people. [ November 21, 2002, 04:54 PM: Message edited by: Schoerner ]

Interesting that your answer implies, that Bolshevism had no death-camps. Do 60 million murdered people not count? For everybody? Could it be you are confusing the sides? Strange.

I don't know what the Stalingrad-Pack has to do with your strategic assumptions. Therefore i feel free, to post my opininion, too. I strongly have to disagree: if the 6th army would have broken out, the five russian armys bound over 2 months around Stalingrad, would have cut off the whole Heeresgruppe Süd. With the in history unique heroic fight of the 6. Armee, only comparable with the Battle of the Thermophyles, the 1.000.000 men of HGr.Süd got the time to retreat, to reorganize and establish a frontier that made it possible to bring most of the soldiers alive home, slow down the bolshevistic hordes and therefore to protect Europe from becoming conquered completely by Communism. This is the real merit of the 6.Armee and future times will judge the fight of the 6. Armee more just and will give the fallen soldiers the honor and respect they deserve.

While Steve and Madmatt always earn the positive feedbacks, i wanna take the release of the v1.01 Patch as the opportunity to thank the working-horse in the background: Charles, thank you for your great work in general and the enormous amount of labor. Helmut.

Oh, poor boy my condolences. Becoming paid for downloading the patch is really hard.

Now we all know, that the BTS guys are fakes only. The real maker of CM is CDV and the programmers and developers are the same who made Leisure Suit Larry 6. Although i'm happy that the CDV-patch is out already, it's like a bad joke: BTS is waiting for CDV and they release it, as soon as they can? :eek:

It's the patch 1.01 for all CDV-versions. Read here: www.combatmission.de under DOWNLOADS [ November 21, 2002, 12:59 PM: Message edited by: Schoerner ]

I bet this IS the patch for CDV's versions. It would fit perfectly to the impression i have of this company... DLing now.
