Yep, print screen, then I just paste it into the 'paint' programme and save as a bmp - you can then draw arrows of advances etc or mark key pointsOriginally posted by fiaros:Neil, can you show me how to draw pictures from the game and then operate them via the Photoshop program, in order to send them for publishing in the site?
It is the "Print Scrn" function, right?
And after, what should I do?
Its probably a lot of work so I am just doing it for one scenario - one pic every 5 turns or so. Should build up, with some comentary into a nice AAR
-
Could people take a screenshot of where they start/defend from - for comparision later
-
Well, thank god for 'wizards' is all I say - and if anyone would like to take over I can send login & password?Originally posted by Walker:Nice colour scheme, your tourney site. Very stylish, sophisticated even.
Sophisticated eh? Much like myself...

OK started a site at the below;

Any suggestions (recognising my limited techknow)
-
OK - Lets talk tatics
In the last tourney I did pretty well in each game; draw, minor victory etc but I gave away a lot of points. Is it better to not try and win an individual game so that you dont give away many points? Or have a got this all wrong??? Is there a strategy to this type of tourney scoring or have I just got way too much time on my hands??

Ya walker get it together willya
Dinga and I have started and I cant help thinking that I've done something wrong already!
-
Welcome DerBlitzer...
Sly, I am playing Dinga and Walker. If you remember they both took the maximum amount of points when they played me, last tourney. THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN! They must be thinking, they have this tourney in the bag!!!
I going to set up a Brave.net site to post the pics - so after each round pls send -
-
Happy to do something? if need beOriginally posted by slysniper:Just a update, have worked the bugs out of two games, it leaves one to go and then having to do the work of preping them for sending out.

My cunning plan is to let 'Walker' play for me...
-
Death to Dinga!!!

I see Dinga is already hoping for easy points, Major Tum will need to bring his A game this time. </font>Originally posted by slysniper:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr /> Yes, re-match against Dinga44 for the total defeat I suffered last time!

-
Is that 12 now with SHELLSHOCKEDSYE?
If it is, do we need to close this thread and open "Out of the dust II?"

Ya, big thanks from me! Slyski, u da man!!!!

From memory, we had 3 matches per round so, 3 rounds, 9 matches?Originally posted by slysniper:I would like to know from those of you who are playing, do you want 2 rounds again or should we do 3. It should be clear as to which before we start this thing.
Also, it took a month to finish each round so, that would be 3 months?
I am not really bothered but maybe a 3rd round for some would be too much of a committment?
Something else... is there any way we could get the highlights from a match/game on video? Would be good to watch what happened to other players, after the tourney had finished.
Perhaps someone could host a site? I would volunter but dont have the technical ability.
-
Dont think it works like that dude.Originally posted by Jeppe:Jeppe signing in and awaiting orders...
(I will only play as the Axis).
Thank You
My brother is going to play - minor tum
-
Think I still have the list - will email all also
-
I can tell Michel and Gort(Richard)
-
YES, YES & YES!!!! - Could help in some capacity?Originally posted by slysniper:I thought about it but if I had, it would have been in CMBB this time, not CMBO. I would like to do it again but time is a factor. Plus with the new games about to be released it will likely impact game play by some for awhile. I know if I host one it will be in CMBB this time.
It would be interesting to find out how many would be interested in a CMBO tourney, if there was enough interest, Maybe CMBO-"from out of the Dust tourney II" could happen - wait what am I saying.

Cheers Sly -
Happy to play - e is in profile

Hi Sly - Long time no hear.Originally posted by slysniper:In the later versions of the game, a large flag is 300 and a small one is 100 points, I have used them values in what CMBO does, but I have not verified that.
So if you are going to lose a 200 point tank to neutralize a large flag on the last turn and you lose it. It is not a good move since nuetralizing it would only swing the game points 150 and you lost 200 to do it. If that makes sence.
I understand but...
You say a 200 point tank? You mean 200 points to buy/get, when and if you are allowed to choose what equipment you want? (the options screen)
OK but how is the result calculated from this? Because it looks like a % i.e I might get 52 and the oppent gets 48.
Also, how does capturing a flag work i.e is it the most points of equipment that sit on it ot closes to it?

You probably want to take a screenshot of our game now, before I totally destroy you - (funny how you are german and defend again eh?)
