Oh woe is me! 20 months of blameless posting and untold sinless months lurking and I get a quote in the MBT!Originally posted by Berlichtingen:HA! A new SIN brought to our attention by CavalryMan (not to be confused with that idiot CavScout).
Only another 10 years till I have the time and a suitably armoured pair to challenge a squire and eventually a (whisper) knight (/whisper) and get my name bolded.
Mind you the way I feel right now I should be posting in the "other" thread with loads of angry faces.

Well my F5 key is already getting worn out.

Come on, dont forget "Ice Cold In Alex" I once stayed up till 4am to answer a drunken bet as to whether the glasses at the end actually had "Carlsberg" etched onto them or if it was just an effect added by the Carlsberg Ad company.
It may have lacked hard core battle scenes but still managed a certain cult status.

As CMX is to include dust I am curious as to how this dust will be modelled.
Will different AFV produce different amounts of dust, will the ground conditions and atmospheric conditions effect dust production and distribution and will the amount of dust determine spotting of AFV ?
I am sure that such questions and have cropped up in the past but I cant find them.
I suppose we are all back on bone watch now.

.. thank (insert deity here) there are people who do and are willing to share and develop our game in this way.
[Edited] because on re-reading I do get the concept if not the algorithms being mentioned.
What other board would include a summary of a technical thesis as a post.

The problems are: finding the file, finding an online host and relying on connections outside of your control.Originally posted by Belaja smert:Why dont we just put it up on a peer2peer network like Kazaar or Edonkey??. With a file this size it should spread real fast on the peer2peer.

I have offered up some space to LAXX and I am awaiting his reply.Originally posted by laxx:Request
I am looking for someone with 15mb of online space for me to host this. The current site is running out of space

Unless I missed something I understood 1.02 to be the final patch and they would now be working on engine II. BFC are keen not to get suckd into perpetual patches as they did for CMBO which delayed CMBB.Originally posted by Schrullenhaft:...The next, and most likely last patch to CMBB will be 1.03 and probably not a '1.02a'.. Remember... BTS/BFC have said that the next patch should be the last one and CMBB will be considered a 'finished product' after that.

In relation to Soviet and Axis vehicles was the primary design decision based on available technology?
The Soviets had Diesel power unit technology in abundance but relativly poor petrol technology/production. This also applied to the technologies required for refining the fuel.
Just my guess

I hope the "3 week" flying rule was imposed. I doubt that 24/48/72(delete as applicable to navy fliers) hours rules would sufficeOriginally posted by Stalins Organ:WOW! I killed it with my wife and a pal of ours who was a navy helicopter driver.

Oh well not tonight. Tried the site but could not even load the home page, even with my spanking new DSL connection.

But here is the person to contact if you want to be the "distributer"Originally posted by Soddball:Darn - not available in the UK.
I love the fact that it can be purchased in a "single presentation ammunition box (which also contain three shot glasses), or in ammunition boxes containing 3-6 bottles)! Try that in your duty free!

Nah.. no room for Charles' nutient tanks and I didnt think those places had cesspoolsOriginally posted by Kirill S.:You have offices at Battlefront? I thought you all used trailers.

Moving away from the semantics which the debate has degenerated, into the decision by BFC to wrap up CMBB at this point. It seems to fit with a core business rule I was taught when dealing with projects; that is the 80 20 rule.
Any further work would cease to be good business as it would only please a small number of people, all of whome have already purchased the product and most of them would not be put off purchasing future product by a lack of tweaking of the existing one.
Customer support is one thing, but not to the exclusion of good business.
Roll on the new engine I say.

I have no data and no direct knowledge but I believe that it is so good because Tungsten is a very hard substance but it is particularly effective when combined and alloyed with other materials. These desirable properties make it both very difficult to work and to get the correct alloying and combinations. During WWII there was a massive shortage of tungsten and molybdenum was often used.
Try itia.org.uk for some general info and some data I cant remember how to understang (If I even attended that class) You could also investigate High Speed Steel which the link also uses to describe steel tungsten alloys.

So are BFC planning on expanding their team for the next phase, and if so where are the adverts being placed and when?Totally out of the question. Doing this means pushing the new engine off our plates until it is done. The main problem we face is we can not do more than one thing at a time. So if we do x, then y doesn't happen until x is complete. And no chance of starting on z at all.Steve

No there is no change in the outcome, except that you may miss something small but significant. I find that I often do this whilst waiting for my troops to move up to where my recon has found the enemyOriginally posted by Valael:..
Just one question -- THere's no disadvantage to fastforwarding other than not seeing exactly what's going on, is there?

I am far from an expert but it seems that what is being asked for is the ability to move/walk/run backwards whilst giving fire. Isnt that rather hard to do even for a well trained soldier? It seems that the current implementation of turning to move and then turning back is a realistic simulation.Originally posted by Lt Bull:They are not just LABELS when my guys get up, turn their back to the enemy and start moving away giving the enemy a free shot without any return fire at all. CM infantry can only return fire in the direction that they are facing. Using "assualt" or "advance" in a direction opposite from that of the enemy fire exposes them to the most vulnerable rear flank fire and effectively ends all fire at them from the unit.

Given all the hints that the rewrite will look and feel so great I wonder if Charles has knocked together some samples (in his free time of course). If he has how long till a bone is released?

One of the features that played a very important part of Desert Warfare was the use of dust as a means of generating cover. For this to be effective I suspect that we would have to wait for the engine re write.

Navy EOD is for people who find playing with unexploded bombs on dry land is too dull. They want to do it underwater in the cold, wet and dark whilst avoiding some of the floating contents of the water!Originally posted by Thin Red Line:Ok, now i'm conviced to buy the book.
But i have a question : what is EOD ?
