Surely engineers were though!

I am assuming that with CM Normandy we will have the inclusion of Bridges. Will we be able to Destroy those bridges with Engineers or air support? Pretty please Say Yes? Cheers -Lon

It comes from quick sources whom have no idea who battlefront is... but the general gist of the rumor is... CM:TS Combat Mission:Taiping Slaughter Raise your paddy knives and your cannons... guard the dragon forts.... the Manchu's have laid metal, have roosted and slammed their iron fist. The Taipings are marching....(the kingdom of piece has come to relieve the opium laden swine) the British and French module soon to follow..... see flashy swing into desperate action...

The Matrix with John Leguizamo would have been a COMPLETELY different movie lol. it was Tank played by Marcus Chong i believe. kinda like Nick Nolte as Han Solo i'd think... well maybe not that crazy...

...on that!

if i wasn't so dulled from "a few" too many myself over the weekend, i'd have a witty reply to this.... women not drinks

Oh geez now i feel like an idiot. yeah i had just switched it for the first time and i forgot i had. oye! So this emulates what exactly? oh god, this WOULD make things more difficult! Feel free to remove thread please! >_< doh!

Suddenly after months of great performance, I'm getting a weird problem. When i play as Blue my icons have started turning to question marks as if i was red! Units not selected are disappearing under the question marks so i can only see my one selected unit. Has this happened to anyone? -Lon

yes. men with red and brown markers. Red is living. Brown is dead. after they receive aid they are indeed removed from the map.

move a unit to the same action spot, give them a few and they will automatically perform buddy aid on anyone in need.

ditto on this. I've seen it a bunch lately. I do have a save game.

I think the QB section of the game is presently being worked on... or maybe i'm wrong? But i think since most things have been fixed they've been able to shift priorities to QB. That's what i read, somewhere. Especially going forward to new releases..

Well, it just really comes down to whether the scenarios are well balanced and aesthetically made don't you think? You can have a shottily made map with great historical legitimacy and it will be an OK battle, and then you can have a GREAT map with 10 Elite Tigers and SS against ill nourished and ill equipped paratroopers in the incorrect year. No fun. And then you get a great map with a great historical balance... and then (very important) a bit of fiction. (enough to tweak your mouse hand and shake your coffee onto your keyboard..after all it is a game) Battlefront can offer the palette and people will create. This community will take what you give them and make great scenarios and interesting conversation that i could never explain to my wife. That is what keeps me on these boards daily.

This Mod is now available in .RAR form in the repository. Sláinte! Tink Tink! Chug Chug! - Von Webb

Hey there ERISS and all. Glad you are digging the Music. i will get this into the repository and CMMODS, no worries. I just need to either get the file size smaller in a .RAR or ftp it up to the repository. Was taking it sloooow today... rough weekend... . Finished a cool CM map. -Lon

Yeah, i'm over the limit.That's it. If i give you a download link could you post the music? it's worth it. -Lon

trying to upload a ZIP file to the repository. every time i get "unspecified file" error message. what's that all about? certainly filled out correctly and it is a ZIP. must have to do with something else?

Zip is Verified.

god... total amateur typo in the read me... uploading again!

Hey guys. Thanks for trying the Download. I am presently uploading a new ZIP. I had packed the other zip in MacOsX so that was probably the issue. I dl'd it and it opened fine (in OSX) so it definitely wasn't a corruption problem. I rebooted to Windows and repacked the file. Let me know if it works. Should be done uploading in Ten. The repository gave me an "Unspecified file" message after i uploaded THAT so i guess it didn't work. i'll do that again and CMMODS.com, but certainly http://lonkaiser.com has a much quicker download speed so i'll keep it up there for a while. once again the link is: http://lonkaiser.com/music/cmsf_alt_music.zip hope it's a good weekend for all. Please let me know what you think. Thanks! -Lon

You are very welcome!

Hello all, I just spent the last week making some alternative music for Shock Force and i had a Ton of Fun doing so and added three more pieces to my production music repertoire in the process. The first two pieces (opening and deployment) are in the vein of the original music but tend to be more "Tune" oriented and quite more Syrian in nature! (for those of you who play mostly Red or Red on Red) The "end of game" music is somber, cinematic and classical; a departure from the opening musics and somewhat looking forward to a WWII CM, Normandy Revisited. It is also soothing to the senses. I have uploaded them to the repository but for now they are also available here: http://lonkaiser.com/music/cmsf_alt_music.zip Unpack and place these files in your Z folder and fire up!! If you find you like one more than the other or perhaps want just the classical piece of music for the whole game: be my guest and make two duplicate copies of "music end of battle.wav" and change the titles to: "music intro.wav" and "music splash.wav" Best, Lon Kaiser http://lonkaiser.com

Because: after i got my new MacBook Pro and wrangled up XP, i finally bit the bullet and bought the Windows version and then REPEATEDLY have bit many bullets.. over and over and over and over. Amazing game. Nothing but Patience and Uber Control and a bit of luck will save your ass in this game. I would love to be able to switch my copy to MACOSX when the time comes. i don't want to wait for that Marines module.. I held off as long as i could!!!! Thanks Guys but i understand if it's not feasible. Lon

I just got a New Intel Based MacBook Pro... I have acquired XP and have it installed. Should i Jump for the Windows version of CMSF or is the MacOsX version right around the corner? I know it was planned to be ported after the Marines are released. Any News...? How about if I buy the Windows version now, could you just send along a Mac version free of Charge when it comes out...? Does that sound like a sweet deal?

Battlefront is breaking new ground. They have always done so and are with this game pushing software and simulation to the extreme, and with a low budget and a limited workforce to boot. unfortunately since we've left the patronage system of the 1700's, one can't wait forever to release the perfect "treatise" on ones ideas. Sometime you have to barrel your way through and support yourself at the same time. It seems, at times, people on this forum forget what is trying to be done, it's the "backseat driver" syndrome... made even worse by people you can't even drive. They just want to get to the end of the roadtrip without a hitch and the roadtrip is off-road safari from NYC to LA.
