    CMFB slow download

    in CM2 General Tech Support

    Posted

    Its's only downloaded 1gig over night at this rate it will take 5 days not 2. The estimated time has not gone down still stuck on 2 days.  I'm pretty damn annoyed.

    Again I ask you can I have an alternate download link. I started this 2 o'clock Fri it's now 7 am Sat and its less than a quarter done that's not right nor fair.

    NAMES AND TEXTS SCRAMBLED AFTER CMSF BUNDLE

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    I thought I was having issues with installing the bundle as well. Turns out I am not its a map error that is present out of the box and remains even when patched.

    The error is on the map Al Amarah.

    The two Sagger ATGM teams are not Uncon fighters they are Syrian Reserve.

    Their unit portraits still show  they were meant to be  Uncon fighters.

    Patching the game to 1.32 turns one Sagger team into US Infantry with AK's and no visible sagger while the other remains Syrian Reserve again their unit portrait still show they were meant to be Uncon fighters.

    The units mentioned are part of Fighter Command and they show up correctly in the editor when placed on a new map which points to a map error rather than a bundle install problem like I originally thought and why I posted this here - sorry about that.

    NAMES AND TEXTS SCRAMBLED AFTER CMSF BUNDLE

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Mentioned wrong units

    I am having issues with installing the bundle as well.

    I installed the base game np load Al Amara all is as it should be.

    Install bundle and load Al Amara and things start getting weird. The two Sagger ATGM teams are not Uncon combatants they are US infantry with AK's and no visible Sagger and what was the second Sagger team is Syrian Reserve also no Sagger.

    Their icons still show what they were meant to be.

    Tried extracting to a folder on my desktop as to not draw .brz's from my other CM installs as mentioned above but the issue remains.

    The first install I patched the game and I thought this was the problem but it seems it's installing the bundle.

    Is this a known issue with this map or am I doing somthing wrong with the install?

    I only discovered this because I thought it was a fun map and loaded it up in the editor to see how it was made.

    Now I am not sure if it's borking up other maps as well and I'm at a total loss as to how to fix this.

    My first install I patched to 1.32 skipping 1.10 as the Marine module is part of the bundle, the second install was just base game and bundle no patches as I thought it was patching that stuffed things up.

    Month and year locked in scenario editor

    in CM Black Sea Maps and Mods

    Posted

    Well I hope they release an expansion pack on the current  RL conflict in the Ukraine not only for the timeline but the models.

    Like Terek wolf company  for example with their black furry Cossack hats and  Spectre-"Autumn"(?)  uniforms. Things like the KLMK jumpsuit with hood up which seems widely used by various NAF militias.

    Both sides field some pretty interesting paramilitaries and "modified" vehicles more than enough for an expansion.

    Just a thought not a demand btw.

    TBH I'd buy any sort of expansion on the RL conflict no matter what it contained.

    CMBS is a very enjoyable title in the series but I find it leaves me craving some real life battles.

    Month and year locked in scenario editor

    in CM Black Sea Maps and Mods

    Posted

    In the scenario editor why is the month selection locked to  only June, July  and August (other months are there but greyed out) while the weather covers freezing and other weather types you would think would be later in the year?

    I would have liked to use the snow mod for scenarios outside of that very limiting time frame.

    Am I doing something wrong? Can this be changed and if not why not? It's doing my head in trying to figure this out tbh.

    Same with the blasted year it's locked to 2017 I wanted to do some stuff outside of that time frame like 2014 and 2015.

    Yes I realize that's when the official content is set but what harm would it have done to make other months and years available in the editor?

    Just bought the expansion hoping it may change this or add more months of the year to choose from but nope still June July and August 2017. (High hopes from a map pack I know but I'm getting desperate.)

    If it can't currently be changed can we  please have a mini patch to fix this very limiting and annoying facet of the scenario editor as I'm sure I'm not the only one that finds this restrictive.

    I'm not expecting new terrain just unlock the months and years slots PLEASE.

    If these things can be changed already can someone explain how I go about doing this please.

    Unit mash ups questions.

    in CM Black Sea Maps and Mods

    Posted

    I was wondering if unit mash ups WITH permissions from original authors are allowed, frowned upon or an out right court marshal-able offense?

    From what I understand the correct protocol is to PM original Authors to ask permission and if granted  credit them in any documentation stating what parts of their original work was used.

    I'm new to this and not 100% sure if I am approaching this in the right manner  and I have no wish to offend anybody or be accused of stealing other peoples work.

    I just want to add something small to a game series I have grown to love and contribute in a tiny way to the  awe inspiring array of mods made by the CM community.

    I am fascinated by the various militias and paramilitaries of both sides of the  current war in the Ukraine and was hoping to be able to get some mash ups happening for specific unit skins, starting with 1st Separate Battalion-Tactical Group "Somalia".

    How likely are mod authors to grant permission to use their work if the above conditions are met or will I get a resounding bugger off you grumpy Aussie twit?

    No NSV or Kord?

    in Combat Mission Black Sea

    Posted

    Not sure why you think I'm trolling akd.

    Four simple questions: 

    1. Is there a Kord or NSV as a crew served weapon ie. not mounted on a vehicle: older post says no but I was wondering if either were patched in.

    2. Is it possible to port the PTRD from Red Thunder which I own. (I have seen you tube of both UKR and DPR using it) So is it possible to cross port assets?

    3. There  was  two people making versions of a  Donetsk airport map did either get to a downloadable state?

    4. As someone who isn't interested in US v Russia but VERY interested in Ukraine vs DPR war is the game still worth buying?

    No NSV or Kord?

    in Combat Mission Black Sea

    Posted

    Ok so no Kord or NSV according to another post. I really don't get this why? Should have left out the whole  US side not the damn KORD or NSV imho.

    Bugger it now I'm even more grumpy than usual. I was hoping to recreate some stuff I had seen on youtube.

    No NSV or Kord?

    in Combat Mission Black Sea

    Posted

    Finger on the buy button but  I don't see the NSV or KORD in the listed equipment? Is either in as a crew served weapon? Also is this worth a buy being as I'm only interested in Ukraine vs Russian Separatists and totally uninterested in US fantasy battles?

    No PTRD-41 as well I guess? Could this be ported from Red Thunder which I already own?

    Also the Donetsk airport map did it ever get released?

    Thanks in advance,
