Good! Just wanted to make sure everything was ok

Is it just me, or does it seem as if the only posts involving Madmatt are "gotta lock this one up" comments? I like the way he locks threads down that need to be, but it feels wierd seeing very little personal input from him on all kinds of different issues...

Please let me start by saying I love this game. However I think there is a problem with the AI. Others have seen this a lot, so it's not just me. The AI "most" of the time cannot perform a nice assault with tanks. If there's more than a couple, some of them stop... others must go aroun it. Others go forward and then back etc etc. I apologize, but it makes the AI look pretty pathetic when trying to mount an offensive. I have several scenarios I made as examples (including the tutorial mission that came with the game).

Where can we get your water mod, anmd also you fjord mod you posted about earlier?

Gary, Incredible job. Thank you!

Is it at all like the boardgame "Axis and Allies"?

I loved the boardgame Axis and Allies. Is this game like an advanced version of that boardgame? I have not bought this yet.

It got a 90% review in PC Gamer, so I was thinking of checking it out. Any of you play it? If so what do you think of it? [ October 13, 2002, 12:11 PM: Message edited by: japinard ]

Same thing happened to me and I'm still waiting for a response too...

WHERE ARE THESE POSTED?

The site http://www.combatmission.com/ , which I remember being updated a lot by Madmatt has not been updated in a long time. Reasons I'm asking this question: 1. Is it still going to warehouse mods like it did for CMBO? 2. Is it going to give us lots of in-depth & updated info like it did with CMBO? 3. Am I missing anything at the site, or should I pull it from my "check-every-day" site list?

illo the virus wasn't from my e-mail was it?

I don't meant to put AussieJeff, GJK, Tiger, or Captain Wacky on the spot... But who has tested each of these, and has an opinion on which is best? I'm looking for one that is realistic looking(not squarish), but yet shows the elevation changes real well...

In Juju's readme he states the following: Issues: - * = These German halftrack fitted MG’s are ‘built’ around a rather crude boxy 3D model. They will not look optimal. - ** = Vehicle modders attention: Only part of this texture is used for the MG top. The full texture shares parts of the vehicle itself. Does this mean I shouldn't use these as replacements? Will it make the guns look strange in some circumstances? Thanks Juju or anyone that can answer to this.

Excellent job Michael! Thanks!

second-amendment, why the question marks? [ October 10, 2002, 11:54 PM: Message edited by: japinard ]

I sent them to you. Please tell me you have a legal copy of the game! 5 very hard-working guys made this game, and their livlihood depends on people purchasing this.

Depends on your tactics and what you believe you're up against. Do you have the full game?

Gary, us CMBB players owe you a debt of gratitude. Your catalogue is absolutely priceless. I think this is potentially the best 3rd party work anyone has done to date (on CMBB), and I'll be using it to make my new scenarios. I know you made the catalogue primarily to help modders, but I am making a scenario featuring the "unique" units of CMBB in a cross-fire, and having every pic of tanks and guns really helps. Thank you! http://www.cmoutpost.net/lists/cmbb_russian.htm http://www.cmoutpost.net/lists/cmbb_german.htm [ October 10, 2002, 11:34 PM: Message edited by: japinard ]

So, I've been playing CM since the first day it was released in the US. Since then I've been wondering where my ambush defense options went. Finally I broke down and started the tutorials (I had already read and highlighted the first half of the manual), and low and behold there was a wonderful explanation of what to do for defense. So amid the complaints here on the forum, you get another thanks from me for something that works so well. Now, if only FSAA were working with these NVidia drivers, and I could record/save a custom camera view permanently Hehe

I found that when I have more than one set of IE running, or trying to download 2 files at once from his site, the downloads fail. I only was able to download files when I had one copy of IE open, and only tried downloading one file at a time. Hope this helps some of you...

Hehe, you must be psychic wild bill

In the unit editor, can I have the editor show all vehicles from every year together? Or must I manually switch from year to year (BLECH)?

Panzer Leader thank you! You gave me an idea... I went to the file type associations for winrar, and found a box I could to check for "run" after "download" confirmation. Whew! Thank you! [ October 10, 2002, 04:54 PM: Message edited by: japinard ]
