[Errors in movie Battle of the Bulge (Henry Fonda version)]

Everything. Period.

["Would be nice" feature list]

Tougher buildings, especially stone buildings.

[New Scenario for Playtest]

Clever launch pad, fredrock!

[Edito questions]

For Question 1...road or wall/fence/bocage? I'm at work, but I'm certain there are tiles for diagonal T's for both types of terrain. The road ones are a little more tricky, but they are in there.

[Mord's Immersive American Voices Mod]

Excellent, my good man! I can't wait to try it out tomorrow night...bedtime now.

[Any Interest in US Divisional Patches?]

Hey BloodyBucket, something about your handle makes me think there's a link with it and your interest in the 28th Division...but I just can't quite put my finger on it.

[Any Interest in US Divisional Patches?]

Guys, all US Inf and armor patches in ETO and MTO will be done.

Splinty, the prob is that there are only 3 US uniforms (different color shades), and they go on all of the infantry. So If I put stripes on even only one, all pixeltruppen with that randomly-assigned uniform will get stripes. Short answer: No.

[QB AI Plan Question on use of Groups]

From what I have gathered, the best way to script QB map Plans is two groups with very few broad orders and zones.

There is no way to tell what the AI will buy, or how it will divide it forces, so just let it have its head and see how it goes.

I'm finding that out the hard way, Sarge. I have a med-large QB map in process, but I had an average of 4-5 groups and 3-4 orders for each. Depending on what the AI (or human) buys, it can get a little silly at times. Back to the drawing board.

[Any Interest in US Divisional Patches?]

Armored will be done too, Sargeant!

[Any Interest in US Divisional Patches?]

I'm doing them for myself, following on from Vein's 82nd and 101 AB patches. I will eventually have all US Divisions in ETO and MTO. It will be a couple of weeks or so until I'm finished, but in the next few days I will have all the Infantry Divs in Normandy, June-August 1944.

Let me know if there is interest.

Thanks.

[how to remove background sound ?]

Thanks Sequoia, but I went ahead and exploded/repacked the A file with Mord's mod, and all is well!

[how to remove background sound ?]

Are you using Veins sound mod? If so I believe the folder within the z folder must start with a letter after v to work.

Yes, it turns out I was using veins, so I removed it completely. And made a z folder inside the z folder to put it in. Still no joy!:confused: I do have Veins explosion and smoke mod still in, so maybe that's the conflict. But wth, I'm replacing it in the 100a/sound file. If that doesn't work, the hell with it!

[how to remove background sound ?]

Hey Mord, no luck with your "just birds" mod either. I tried just plopping it in the Z folder, and tried it in a folder-within-the-Z-folder (named "sound"), and even in a folder within the folder in the Z folder ("background" folder in "sound" folder in Z folder). Still no joy?????

I think I need to replace the background day combat wav in the 100a brz in order to get rid of those annoying explosions.

[My QB Map not showing objectives?]

Hi all,

I have a QB map to upload, but in testing, no matter what I do--toggle Obj off/on, make them known/not known to both sides--they don't show up in QB Battles. They do show up in the map editor, though. I'm sure it's a simple thing I've overlooked, but I can't find it...any ideas?

Thanks.

[how to remove background sound ?]

chaos, same here. The mod doesn't seem to work in-game, but when you just play it outside of the game, there are no explosion sounds in it, so it should work. I even re-named it by putting a "z" in front of the name, but no luck. I'm thinking about just "exploding" the 100a brz file (where the sound files are), replacing the original "background day combat" file with the mod, repacking it, and see if that works.

[A concern related to AI scripting]

ASL Vet, just to keep confusion at a minimum, I assume by waypoints you mean the orders "painted" on the map, right?

[Removing HQ in Mission Editor?]

What you can also do is just give the offending HQ a reinforcement slot that is far in the future, after the scen is scheduled to end. Like, 4 hours in the future.

That also has the advantage of maintaining C2 all the way up the food chain.

Good tip, JonS. Thanks!

[Removing HQ in Mission Editor?]

Thanks c3k. The last QB I did, I thought I tied all single units to subordinate HQs, but I still couldn't get rid of the Batt HQ. I must have had a floater unattached to a sub HQ and not realized it.

[A concern related to AI scripting]

SteveP, thanks for testing this.

I have only followed what the Manual says, and never looked into it further, even while making several different QB maps and giving them AI plans. My playtest consisted of me playing one side or the other, and in general things happened on time and as scripted...more or less...but I never experimented with any orders other than "Advance", and assumed they used, er..."Advance" most of the time. I never watched, say, a whole platoon or company execute their plan from beginning to end. Thanks to this thread, I will this weekend, just to see how Assault and Quick actually do execute those orders.

[Removing HQ in Mission Editor?]

It's covered in other threads, but basically you need to delete units from the bottom of the list up. But if you have any independent units that don't have their own HQ, like single vehicles or hvy weapons units added to the TO&E, you won't be able to delete the Batt HQ.

[Sticky for websites that support CMBN?]

I know of at least 3 out there so far...GreenasJade's, Fredrock's and another I ran across earlier, but don't want to link them without their permission of course. GAJ's is the only one I knew of from CMSF days, the others were just links in thread posts I noticed by accident. Undoubtedly, there will be more.

What say you, BFC?

Edit: Never mind, i just checked the "Links" on the home page......

[A piece of advice regarding reinforcements]

Good to know, Fredrock.

[A piece of advice regarding reinforcements]

Fredrock, you have 4 scenarios for downloadiing on your site? Why aren't you advertising more, or uploading to the Repository? They sound like good ones!

And I agree with stoex and polo regarding those issues, by thw way.

[New file at the Repository: Line of Defense (CMAK remake) (2011-06-02)]

This looks good, Rokko. I will be trying it out tonight. (I never played any CMx1 games...so no nastolgia for me, just looks like a good scenario.)

[Campaigns - Single Player Only - Why?]

I've always wondered about the problem with "saving" damage on maps. I wonder how difficult (it must be very difficult) it is to extract a map from a saved game saved file? Obviously, if that could be done, voila! I assume that a saved game file is hard coded such that we can't extract the map from one like we can extract textures from a brz file.
