Moon Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 Anticipating that the first few CD's should be with the first lucky few anytime soon, I have now activated the first few scenarios for Combat Mission. They can be downloaded from www.gamesofwar.de . Go to the Battles section. Enjoy! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrullenhaft Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 Thanks Moon. Downloaded what you had up. The "Counterattack at Carentan" is not active yet. Is it not finished or have you not had the time to get the links all activated ? Thanks again. It looks like you put a lot of effort and time into your scenarios/operations and your website. It all looks outstanding ! [This message has been edited by Schrullenhaft (edited 06-16-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperscope Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 Moon this "Counterattack at Carentan" is not active!!! All others have been, and thank you. sniperscope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notnowjohn Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 Hey Moon, what gives? When I click on the "Download Here" button, all I get is a couple of lines of text that look somewhat like Cryllic....?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G4A Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 Just don't try to use them with the demo. It crashes. Crashes bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted June 16, 2000 Author Share Posted June 16, 2000 The Carentan scenario will be active later today. Need to do some last minute tweaking on the briefing text. Notnowjohn - rightclick on the link and choose "Save target as..." - that should help. Let me know if not. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notnowjohn Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 Nope. Can't get a single one to download! Just text that looks Russian.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oberly Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 Looks absolutely outstanding,Moon.Thanks for putting these up.Now I'm even more disgruntled that I received nothing in the mail today. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G4A Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 Notnowjohn, you need to save the file to your hard drive. Don't view it in the browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Bob Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 Moon: I have the same problem as notnowjohn, except I can't fix it by following your instruction. When I right-click the file, I don't have "save target as" in the list of options. I do, however, get "save link as", so I used that and saved the files to a zip disk (I'm at work now, like most of us). It saved so fast that I'm not confident the actual file was downloaded. Comments, please? p.s. nice looking site! der Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G4A Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 der Bob, the files are very very small, you probably got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 der Bob - You have it correct. You should be saving a .cmb file. Instead of loading the text to the screen it is now saving it to a file. I believe, though I'm not sure, the .cmb files for the scenarios are fairly small. Look at the scenario file sizes in the Gold demo. The scenarios I downloaded from Moon's site were between 15Kb and 25Kb in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 file sizes for scenarios and operations are quite small - less than 20k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean they are operations (cmC for campaign vs. cmB for battle?) or is this a mistake in the file name extension? ------------------ -Bullethead It was a common custom at that time, in the more romantic females, to see their soldier husbands and sweethearts as Greek heroes, instead of the whoremongering, drunken clowns most of them were.

buddy Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 I feel stupid for this, but anyone know how to get Netscape to download to your desktop instead of your browser? Changed the #@%$# thing only a few days ago and now I've forgotten how to change it back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullethead Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>another Flashy fan I see<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yeah, and the Flashman Papers should be requried reading for anyone interested in achieving grognard status. I can't think of anybody who was in more **** and groaned louder over it than Brig. Gen. Sir Henry Paget Flashman, VC, KCB, KCIE, CLH, CMH, SSOPT. My only hope is that the chapters on his service in Mexico and the War of Between the States gets published before ol' GMF dies. ------------------ -Bullethead It was a common custom at that time, in the more romantic females, to see their soldier husbands and sweethearts as Greek heroes, instead of the whoremongering, drunken clowns most of them were.

der Bob Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 Thank you, gentlemen. You are, for the most part, scholars as well. I'll just have to wait for the game to arrive at my home to see if I got the complete scenario files, but based on your collective wisdom, it seems I managed to fumble through. By the way, Flashy's stories are among the most enjoyable books I've read--except for the last one with John Brown (I think its title was "Flashman And The Angel of The Lord"), which I found so repetitive and boring that I couldn't force myself to finish it. Very odd, considering how riveted I was to all the previous volumes... Anyway, thanks again to all of you for your kind and helpful replies. der Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 OK!! For the record people, "Save Target as" and "Save Link as" are the same thing!!! The first one is the MS Internet Explorer command and the second one is the Netscape command. When a file downloads to the browser as garble then you have to right-click on the link and select one of the above commands. You can still designate where you want to save them. On my system, I have a folder set up called "CM Goodies". And within that folder I have sub-folders called "Scenarios", "Operations", "Sounds", "Patches", "Graphics Mods". I bet you can't guess where I saved the 1.01 patch earlier today?? I mean com'on people, do we have to keep explaining basic OS and browser functions over and over again? Geez!! ------------------ Don't mind me. I'm just a little ol' realist. [This message has been edited by Maximus (edited 06-16-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
