Same here about the campaign. Didnt get further then the 1st mission. Most of the troops seem to be in good places, about 20-30% are looking for their gold watches. Even with the men in weird places, it plays way better as 1.05 More action, its easier to believe and its easier to get it done. I actually handled much quicker as a result. Good Work! Finally everyone seems to enjoy it

Thanks for your kind advice Actually its just that i cant be bothered to disconnect the DVDrom & CRDW IDE's etc to make my cable's free and switch hd's and ................. u get it The problem here is being lazy (read: enjoying some maroccan mud in the company of nice red wine) and being Dutch; we like to complain. As a matter of fact, I might be interested in your services. What would your rate be for coming over and replacing * during my well deserved nightrest? EDIT: </offTopic> To come to 1.06: - Instead of making things slower, everything seems smoother and 'texture replacing' doesnt seem to happen anymore. I get a very decent frame rate even in larger missions. Everything @max with 4xAA and 16xAnisotropic F. using my oldish xeon 2.66 / 1GB DDR / 7800GS. - AI seems to be much better. Cant really explain yet, but they're harder to kill. Enemy inf. in trenches are a force to be reckoned with. The first training mission gave me 3 wounded & 1 lost stryker. Rest of training missions have some problems due to the new Stryker AI (popping smoke and reversing). That feature must be a charm in scenarios though. Overall pleased till now. Too early too say more. [ February 05, 2008, 01:49 PM: Message edited by: Lethaface ]

KK I get it Actually still waiting for copy to complete . ExtHd slow as ****. My usb ports are a bit freaky and sometimes convert back to USB 1.0 spontaneously. They give electric shocks too Worst thing its actually an IDE connector housing so I could move my new 160GB hd directly in box and the old 40GB out. Since its not my system disk, the only problem it causes is copying 38,5 GB of data trough USB 1.0. Nice pile of dust on that new drive though... "10 seconds remaining, yeah right". :mad: Anyways..(this bull crap helps me through the wait), thanks for the info! Edit: Ah, you give me the excellent idea of implementing mods and still be able to play the game vanilla, without the cumbersome copy pasting going on! Having BFC SE version so it has to work

Remove the ). from the link or just go directly to http://www.cmmods.com

@Othermeans: Thanks for your suggestion. With '1.05 Directory' I assume you mean the whole CSMF directory? Doin that now, and installing 1.06. Cheers!

Unfortunately I have a PBEM game with 107 turns left Probably only can check the new patch after 107 days (which means 1.07) Any1 has any spare system to lend?

Also posted in other thread; I think the runtime #3(trap) error can be corrected simply updating Apple Quicktime. If not look in another post from me about mp problems, there are some other tweaks i tried. In the end i didnt have it once after playing some 10-15 mp games in a row. GL

I had same problems and other before. However managed to fix all of them with help from some others. I witnessed 3 serious bugs: - Runtime error #3(trap) - Lobby freeze - Soldier movement not visible for owner (lagging), others see them moving though. A list of fixes, dont know exactly which one is working for what: - get Apple Quicktime update (for runtime error?) - disable EAX (for lobby freeze?) - diable music (for lobby freeze?) - lower client internet speed to 25.000 - 50.000 (soldiers not moving) - server internet speed 50.000 (?) - hide dead bodies (?) - disable high sky detail (?) - disable MP smooth movement (?) After making all above settings, I was able to play ~ 10-15 games in a row with others, without (me) having any probs Might be possible to tweak a lil bit and turn some of them one. Perhaps we can get some confirmations from Sneaksie and or Madmatt about these issues. We had a splendid time Thanks to Jmayer (i think) for helpin out! GL

I like mud better, did to many grass here.

1. Dont know. My Nvidia 7800GS (AGP) runs it quite ok. 2. No idea 3. Go for Dual Core. More speed for your $ 4. Not physically 2procs ofc, but you have two cores running at 2.66 Ghz both having 2MB cache. Without gettin into tech stuff, you almost have the equivalent of the two processors. The 1333Mhz is important, thats the BUS speed. 5. For faster loading times 100%. Games get loaded into your RAM, so FPS wise you wont notice a lot of difference.

BUMP Would like to know form BF.C if this is easy to implement (expected in near future ) In my opinion it would help immensely if I could get some more information about type of enemy ? symbol. Like wether to commit your last RPG unit on this suicide mission or just a fighter group. Offcourse soldiers will tell their comrades: enemy Vehicle / Tank / Infantry spotted behind hill 31, instead of what they do now: Enemy Question Mark spotted moving fast towards your position

Yeah im running JSH 1.1, however tonight probably wont make it. Played 1 game before but the game crahsed(CTD) after few minutes After that I installed JSH 1.1 and I think thats not compatible with vanilla ToW. Try again soon

Thats strange since I did exactly like u, same mission, and my sniper sniped them all lying in the grass from top of the hill medium difficulty. I suggest you try again

I like the new LOS system. Especially the changes in visibility through bushes and brushes, etc, is great. It all feels better now. You can now really use stealth for infantry and hide guns in bushes. They are only discovered upon firing their weapons, if even. An example; yesterday I was playing a new single player mission with commando style units. I was scouting with my sniper and discovered some enemies. I decided to move to the right flank and approach the enemy from a hill with clear sight but tall gras. The sniper, laying invisible in the gras, was able to pick most of the enemies off without even being detected. For me everything feels more natural since the patch, however I did already like the game before. Hope my experiences helps you decide whether to buy or not.

Thx

After playing some hours I feel similar. Sometimes there are some question marks in my head - apart from to the ones on screen - regarding as to why a certain unit cant spot another. I did notice the sharing of question marks, it seems logical to me that a unit cant spot any OPFOR unit for a friendly unit (read: no 2 human beings can share direct info from eyes and brain). It has to spot it itself. However, that unit could share WHAT it saw, i.e. is it a tank, APC, infantry, etc. It would be nice to have several different question marks, to indicate what 'sort' of unit has been spotted, if known. Should be quite easy to implement, codewise, as I think of it

I make frequent saves, most of the time only reloading when there is a significant difference in what I expected my troops to do and what they actually did (and sometimes when I just realise i'm doin' it allll wrong). Restarting a map is something I do very sparsely. So, in my opinion, more then 2-3 AI plans would mean spending your time at only a few % of all players.

Didnt know Scotland was in the 3rd world Hell, I didnt even pay my own bills yet when we had to pay per KB

I think you might be roughly 4 millennia wrong there

Im also in for any Red V Blue (me playing reds) Did actually win one of the few PBEM's i played on red. Playing sneakily and suicidal, its surely possible to lure a Blue force into a trap. However some bugs make it impossible to win sometimes, like if all your troops are getting panicked because a few of them are getting shot to pieces far away. ATM i'm playing a PBEM (as reds ofc), the Eufrates. Curious to see what will happen when the first clash will come. If I only get 1 abrams, ill be happy As reds I dont have problems with sacrificing troops. I'll happily send my RPG Team to kill a stryker knowing it will be eradicated even if it accomplishes its goal. Ive been analysing Red tactics and I find it possible to use guerilla tactics to good extent. Offcourse it can be difficult, when getting exposed to all that Blue firepower. For me, that makes it only more challenging And after all, a "Death Before Dishonour" major defeat is better then run like a coward Edit - oops, guess I'd better alter my signature - Probably even Sun Tzu didnt see this one coming [ January 20, 2008, 05:55 PM: Message edited by: Lethaface ]

PaperTiger, PrimoPDF can convert your docs to PDF. However, it doesnt add the nice graphs for you

Eur 40,- / month for 'unlimited' (?) traffic, 1 dedicated server included, in DE. America even has cheaper options. Dont know what traffic BFC hit, but a few terabytes more or less wont form a problem. However I guess them Ad-funded sites dont charge a lot of $$$ for their bandwith, if any. Remember to read 'powered by Multikabel', or any of that sort of things. ISP's have 'some' TB's 'lying around' doing nothing. Some are happy to share but will cut when they dont have enough. For example through gamershell Sometimes i get 1500kb/s from hosts in my country, the other day I get 600 from china host but from the same one as before in NL only 115k/b.

As regarding to who you should use, its all in the manual Its quite a lot of information actually. Read the Air / Arty support pages. About that two different icons (red cross / yellow dot), thats something i also have been wondering about. Can any1 enlighten us on these thingy's?

Ah, that must be my Credit Card problem

Am i crazy or do all trees dissapear in CM:SF if I press Alt-T??? There seems to be some nice zoom/enlarge options too, as well as a wide view setting - if anyone hadn't noticed -
