nqbus8 Posted August 27, 2000 Share Posted August 27, 2000 yes, we've seen those flags, big, small, wavy and the like... but there is something that IMO should be added as an option. why not make them (flags) transluscent? this is a very small suggestion but i think its worth some consideration viva CMBO!

Sirocco Posted August 27, 2000 Share Posted August 27, 2000 The flags do sometimes block your own LOS when you're trying to judge things - it's certainly something worth BTS considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfe Posted August 27, 2000 Share Posted August 27, 2000 Shift-F will turn the flags on and off. - Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nqbus8 Posted August 28, 2000 Author Share Posted August 28, 2000 turning flags OFF is another thing. i still want my flags seen but it should not obstruct my view of other units behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Michael emrys Posted August 28, 2000 Share Posted August 28, 2000 Shifting your POV will also help. But how much of a burden is it to hit Shift-F? Good grief. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamstersss Posted August 28, 2000 Share Posted August 28, 2000 Can't you just cross hatch the flag .bmp with that godawful Fuschia placeholder color? ------------------ You wouldn't know the dust of Thermopylae if it came up to you, handed you a business card reading "Dust of Thermopylae, 480 B.C.E.", then kicked you in the shins. -Hakko Ichiu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OberGrupenStompinFeuhrer! Posted August 28, 2000 Share Posted August 28, 2000 You could try this, but it only works if you are playing as the Germans:- Bring up your KruppSpringenHamsterFlingenMachinen and load the rubber sling with several SS-Hamstertruppen. Target the flag(s) and click "GO". There will be a delay of approx 30 seconds (may vary) to simulate the winding of the SpringenSprocket and targeting, then a loud *swiissshhh.....thucker-thucker-thucker* as the catapult arm of the KSHFM is released to swing forward. The sling load of SS-Hamstertruppen, by now sporting well and truly pee-soaked lederhosen, will fly forward toward the flag(s) as a slowly expanding clump of terrified hamster fur and piddle. If your aim is true and you are lucky, most of this soggy mass will slap into the cotton flag(s), soaking the cloth with a variety of SS-Hamstertruppen fluids. The result will be a transparent flag!! No need for a tiresome "SHIFT-F" or any other such nonsense. Be aware though that the drying time for the flag(s) will be, to a large extent, a factor of a) the weather, how many SS-Hamstertruppen actually hit the flag(s) and c) how much they had to drink recently. Hope this helps. OGSF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Posted August 28, 2000 Share Posted August 28, 2000 Actually, there is a set of flag mods on MadMatt's site that allows you to install smaller flag sizes. I use them as the bigger ones block too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarg Posted August 28, 2000 Share Posted August 28, 2000 I use the small flags mod pack and I think it's a good solution. The small waving flags aren't to obstrusive as the original CM flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darstand Posted August 28, 2000 Share Posted August 28, 2000 Better yet build your own scenerio's with no flags.....Yes it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntelWeenie Posted August 28, 2000 Share Posted August 28, 2000 You can see more with the smalll flags, but they still block the map when placing waypoints, checking LOS, etc. SHIFT-F works just fine for me; I use it all the time. ------------------ "Belly to belly and everything's better" - Russian proverb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
