nothing fancy, just Steve Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 A couple of things that I feel would help contribute to the realism of CMII would be when a vehicle/terrain feature catches fire during a night senario everything within a certain range is silhouetted (causing a lot of incoming fire for anything dumb enough to approach a cozy little camp fire to toast their marshmellows). Secondly, I thought it was rather standard to try to hide tanks in buildings. It would be nice if a fully tracked vehicle could enter buildings albeit at a costly immobilization risk, and that the lighter guns could set up inside buildings.

Soddball Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 I'd like to be able to mod the inside of vehicles. Shame the skins aren't double-sided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Aitken Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 In the words of Michael Stipe, Run a carbon black test on my jaw And you will find It's all been said before The issue of localised lighting at night is an important one, especially in the case of muzzle flashes, which would in reality attract a lot of suppression fire. The way CM is currently modelled, night fighting is quite similar to fog fighting, in that you simply can't see beyond a certain range, rather than being able to see anything that is illuminated. This will hopefully be addressed through the use of dynamic lighting (assuming this is a practical and not just an aesthetic improvement) when the engine is rewritten after CM2. As for putting tanks and guns inside buildings – as we always say, what if it has a basement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpkr Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 I agree it would be cool, bu tI don't think it is within the current capabilities for the same reason that starshells are not available for illumination during night games. In order to accurately portray what you are talking about, the program would have to incorporate dynamic lighting. That would, in turn, require a LOT more computing power. I am not sure whether this is going to be a feature in the engine rewrite, but I am almost certain you will not see it in CM:BB. I agree that guns should be able to set up in buildings (just not move into them during play.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you feel about guns moving out of buildings they had set up within? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so long as we have buildings that do not reflect partial damage (individual wall taken out, etc.), we should not be able to move the guns out of the buildings.
