JOCHEN PEIPER Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 I start a game.....save it at a point that I am satisfied with E.g. That i am in positions of cover and able to DEFEND easily. BUT when I load up the game again...the PC has placed the trees in different positions.... So I had men in cover under a tree and now I dont.... Every time I reload it the trees are in a new POSITION..... Is this a glitch/problem or is it part of the game we have to accept... YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE....

PawBroon Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 You've been Aitkenized... Go ask David, he had been sneaked upon by a heavy building... After all, trees are houses to be. Sorry, I'm having one of those non logic day. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 LOL, trees are only approximations... A tree does not represent a single tree but a bunch of them, so it doesn't matter where the hell your favorite tree appears ------------------ Venez visiter le seul site consacré à Combat Mission en français : Appui-feu http://appui-feu.panzershark.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KwazyDog Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Jochen, actually this isnt a bug. Trees arent represented seperately but as a terrain type by the CM engine. Thus when CM see a light wood terrain tile it bases its calculations on that fact, not where where the individual trees are placed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philistine Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Moving trees, huh? My advice is to watch out for a sneak attack by Macduff. It appears that Birnam Wood has come to Dunsinane. --Philistine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Hofbauer Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 mensch enskind, something similarly strange is haoppening to me al the time. moving trees etc aside, I have had tanks explode and blow up in flames! is this a bug? I have noticed it happens quite often when there are enemy troops nearby. It's prety annoying when my tanks blow up into flames like that. to quote CPT S.: "Please fix!!! or do somefink" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeadams Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Maybe beavers: I always thought hamsters didn't sound tough enough. A sure way to check for beavers is to use the Canadians, they will recognize them for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mensch Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 I have heard of that Beaver attack on the 12thSS on June 6th it took them totaly by suprize although that strange phenomenom of exploding tanks was never explained and quite hushed up by the Canadian Gov't. no but serriously I heard that the reason is ++ censored by the authority of the Goverment of Canada ++ and thats why! now you know!

Joe Shaw Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Gentlerodents, as a fairly frequent poster to the Mother of all Threads, aka the Peng thread, may I say that I'm proud of the effort. I don't subscribe, of course, to the derogation of Hamsters ... there are some things that SHOULD be sacrosanct, but a good effort indeed.

Guest Germanboy Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 While the Beaver may be a proud and noble animal (although some people would dispute even that), it is about as good as a weapon of war as a Ram. Tis a fish, anyway. They used quite a lot of Beavers trying to stop buffaloes from crossing the Rhine, but to no avail... ------------------ Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dittohead Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 There is a very good documentary movie I thinks its called "Eager Beavers" I would recommend to any one interested in the role they played in the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupacabra Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Pfft, the beavers were a PR device put together by the USO. Everyone knows that. Send some beavers over, take some pictures of them looking good, paste 'em on the front page of Life and everybody's just so freakin' happy. Meanwhile, the voles in the ditches got no pictures, no women, no sneaker deals, nothin'! Makes me mad. ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamo Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 I saw a VHS tape with a title something like "Eager Beavers IV: Wicked Schoolgirl Fantasies", is that what you guys are refering to??? As to the trees, it is quite simple: "There is unrest in the forest There is trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas" -Rush (NOT Limbaugh!)
