    Time to implement is the only issue here, not technical limitations. In fact, what you suggested is how it will work when we eventually allow user placement of trenches. Why? Because it's the most simple way to do it. Basically, the player would do something like color the tiles he wants to have fortified and this information would be incorporated into the terrain mesh for the game to follow. There would be no problem with Campaigns since this same UI could be used for both. Having it packed into the existing SetUp Phase would likely (though not for sure) introduce other problems, hence why I think a separate "fortification phase" would be the way to go.

    Self Shadowing Problems

    in Combat Mission: Shock Force Tech Support

    Posted

    I am pretty sure when CM:SF first came out a game developer posted on the forum saying he knew how to improve shadowing using some sort of filtering technique. I've searched the forums but can't seem to find the original post. Do you remember reading this? I thing there must be something BFC can do with the code to smooth out these shadowing problems, even if the drivers are fundamentally at fault.
    That would have been Ssnake of Esim Games over at SimHQ.This is the thread you're after.

    Oh god yes :D , wearing a helmet in a 113 was mandatory, one decent bump and you went flying into the ceiling, then when you came down,if you were up front,you'd scrape your shins on the TC's foot platform..

    What a difference about 2 years makes

    That 30 second turn idea is a really good one and with the way wego is implemented with the real-time engine it shouldn't be too hard to implement.Maybe give us options to make a turn 30 ,45, 60 seconds?
