karch Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 Just curious if BTS had thought about adding any scripting capabilities to Combat Mission. This would really help out with creating tools to help automating the opening, playing and renaming of pbem files as well as possibly creating an app to play movies back to back automatically. Also curious about BTS take on OS X. If CM plays in compatability mode inside OS 9.1 I'd guess you'd leave the program as is until the 3rd combat mission when you rewrite the engine. Any comments??? Thanks for the great game. Scott Karch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow 1st Hussars Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 what would you use the scripts for? ------------------ If the words "f**k" and "frontal" were removed from the vocabulary, the Canadian Army would be left both speechless, and unable to attack... -Michael Dorosh shadow@jagdtiger.de Canada For CM I AM CANADIAN!

Freak Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 The OS X question is what concerns me. Maybe not so much concern, but, with OS X looming. I am excited about OS X and its stability and sweet UI. But I most likely will not switch to OS X for a while. At least until there are lots of apps for it. I just hope that CM2 and CM1 will run on OS X. I anticepate running CM on OS X under OS 9 emulation and I am hoping to run CM2 on OS X (carbon I believe it is). Also another point to mention is I am not sure what rave (the 3d api) will become of on OS X. I hope BTS is considering OpenGL for its future 3d api choice for OS X. I think Apple made OpenGL a serious part of OS X therefore OS X will run OpenGL based games quite well. Just some thoughts.
