busboy Posted October 16, 2000 Share Posted October 16, 2000 What the mess did I do??? One of the features I most appreciated in the full version of CM was the snazzy explosion graphics. Then, I DLed the custom replacements and they were even better! But now, I botched things up, and all I'm getting is the good ol' fasioned "shock wave" explosion effect. I'm really ticked off because of it. I'm hoping some fellow Mac user might be able to help me. What I think I did was this: recently I DLed some ATI 128 updates off of the apple website, and also an OpenGL updater. My current ATI stuff was more recent than the stuff I DLed, so I just installed the OpenGL stuff. I think somehow that botched things. I just uninstalled it all, but I still have the stupid concussions rather than the pretty explosions. Any ideas? ------------------ busboy CO, 99th Dragons A Warbirds Squadron 'We will heat you up' "It is well that war is so terrible, else we would grow too fond of it." -Robert E.

David Aitken Posted October 16, 2000 Share Posted October 16, 2000 You could start off by making sure that you haven't toggled off high-quality smoke (Shift-I). The explosion bitmaps won't appear if you have low-quality, or no, smoke. David ------------------ Guderian's anger was monumental. He struggled for words.

M. Bates Posted October 16, 2000 Share Posted October 16, 2000 No easy way round this. install the extensions which worked the best, and then reinstall Combat Mission. Providing you still have the original Mod stuffit files, it should not be too painful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busboy Posted October 16, 2000 Author Share Posted October 16, 2000 On a hunch, I tried the smoke thing, and it worked. I log on, and David has already proven what a CM newbie I still am Thanx for the quick replies you 2, I appreciate it! ------------------ busboy CO, 99th Dragons A Warbirds Squadron 'We will heat you up' "It is well that war is so terrible, else we would grow too fond of it." -Robert E.
