DasNoogie Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 long time cmbo, cmbb, cmak pbem player here (still plays cmbb). just wondering if they made the pbem system more viable with the new engine. I found it completely unplayable with cmsf as the files were too huge to send by email. is this fixed? would love to come back to the community! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in those days you didn't have cloud storage like we have now. We've been using Dropbox and other cloud services to share/exchange PBEM files for years now. There's no point in trying to e-mail them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasNoogie Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 how does that work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baneman Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Not as such, but since everybody just uses Dropbox ( or similar ) usually in conjunction with GAJ's H2HH or CMH utility, the problem is effectively not a problem anymore. Try it and see ! Edit : wow, I really take too long to type ! :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 how does that work? You get head to head helper from GAJ, you sign up for a free dropbox account and after that it almost does everything by itself - very very cool and easy enough that even I am able to run it. There is a link for CM helper in this thread http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=114474 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Right. Dropbox is the answer. As the games get more complex, the turn files won't be getting any smaller. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Belenko Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 how does that work? 2 players share a folder in dropbox and you place your files there. Thats how swaps are done. No one can see the content except the 2 players and the NSA. If you play more than one person at a time just create and share with the other guy. All free. Just sign up at DB. The h2hh tool automatically puts his file in your incoming folder and moves your completed turn to DB for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
