Panzer Man Posted September 18, 2000 Share Posted September 18, 2000 I am play testing a Night scenario and on more than one occasion I saw one of my own units fire (bright red line)on a friendly unit.If so, that is very cool.Good work BTS. If not then I am seeing things..(Too much Dark Beer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveman Posted September 18, 2000 Share Posted September 18, 2000 Yeah, units can engage in friendly fire under spotty sighting conditions. BTW, did you get your email problem worked out? I sent you a setup to your other address you sent me. ------------------ “Out in front every one is holding out. Every one.

I had to use Netcape, not IE (tried, no luck). The attachment couldn't be saved, I had to cut and paste. And I had to paste into a NON microsoft processor (actually, notepad works for the orders, but the movies are too big and Word puts gunk in the file, even if you save it as text). I have no idea if there might not have been a better way (but trust me - I tried LOTS of things before stumbling upon that particular combination).

Panzer Man Posted September 18, 2000 Author Share Posted September 18, 2000 Thanks for the info..So I assume the instructions are .txt files.What are the Movie file extensions?..I actually received a .txt file and saved it to PBEM and it still didnt work,,I'll try the notpad method..but what word processor have you been using for the movie files?

dNorwood Posted September 18, 2000 Share Posted September 18, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Panzer Man: .but what word processor have you been using for the movie files?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Sorry. I was off for a bit - the word processor I used was WordPerfect 6. I tried Word and WordPad (the one that comes with Windows ) and neither worked. Even when saving a file as txt, they added something to the file that kept CM from reading it. It was amazingle tedious and fortunately I have a different email account that allows me to download email into Pegasus on my machine, where I can save things directly. Makes my life MUCH easier.
