sudowudo Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 i know this sounds daft but recently i've begun to lose bmp files.only from CMBB and seemingly at ramdom.i honestly have not fiddled with my bmp folder for some months and i dont use a mod manager. it began when i restarted a saved game that i was halfway through.as soon as it loaded i noticed that the soviet R-2 tanks were pure white.i ignored it at first but then noticed that other bmp's were missing too,such as all mortars,interior of kubelwagen and Sd KFZ 7 and most annoyingly all building roofs. got the vehicles sorted thanks to CMMODS but despite replacing many building files i cannot get my roofs back. i made a second installation of CMBB and copied and pasted that bmp folder into the original but to no avail....still no roofs. anyone got any ideas ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John N Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 The only thing I can think of would be to try shift-r and see if you have the roofs turned off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John N Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 You are not the first one and won't be the last one to make that mistake. I have no idea about the mortar BMP although someone else had the same problem a few months ago. Email on the way with the bmp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudowudo Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 thank you for taking the trouble john but it was to no avail.i made a second installation of cmbb and copied and pasted the entire bmp folder into the original but that did not work either. i'll try searching for the other thread and see if there was a solution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I have noticed When I played the CDV versions of Combat Mission on my Laptop I would get many of the problems you have. The Squad leader bases are always white as well as many of the Support Units, Mortars and HMGs themselves are often white. If I zoom in close many of these problems go away, but once I Zoom about half way up then thats where the problems arise. I don't have any of these problems with my Desktop. This tells me there are probably differences or issues in the Graphics card between both computers. Joe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudowudo Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 i found the "white mortar" thread but it appears no solution was found. i get no problems when i use my wifes pc with either cmbb or cmak but with this one cmak has always given white vehicles/terrain tiles on occasion.if i restart the scenario they revert to normal.i've tried various graphics drivers and settings but nothing sorted that one either. never had any such thing occur with cmbo. i'm putting it down to a glitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
