Elmar Bijlsma Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 How about a blast from the past? While looking for a BFC banner to hoist in Fiefdom I came across this. Can we expect this line of graphical improvement to continue with CMX2? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJK Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I like the unit bases - it's the only way that I can tell which way the units are facing. :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junk2drive Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Speaking of bases, I had a barbed wire tile show the number "8" in it's blue base. Now I know what those bmps are for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I think Steve cooled somewhat towards me when he posted the first graphics of the game and I commented that it was as ugly as a warthog. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junk2drive Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Sergei, if you scroll through the bmp folder you will find some square monocolour bmps with a number on them. Now I know they are the bases bmps. EDIT I just went through the demo bmps and they are not there. Must be a legacy thing in the full version. As I zoomed in to see my troops fighting in a building, I passed over a barbed wire and noticed something in the blue base. It was the terrain showing through in the form of an 8. The only one on the battlefield, and possibly because there were many.

Holman Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Wow--I remember when those screenshots were new. At the time CM was still planned to be the official computer translation of Avalon Hill's Squad Leader. Maybe we should have a caption contest!

Actually, I'm still wondering cause I'm not sure what you mean... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarkus Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Wow ! Talk about stylish rendering. Notice that even back then, Panthers ruled the battlefield already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmar Bijlsma Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 The moral of this story is, ofcourse, that no matter how beta the graphics are, showing them will not get in the way of it becoming a beaut game. So... how's CMX2 coming along? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Funny thing is, I'd have still been impressed by the idea of the game, not put off by the rough graphics. The game counts, the graphics, don't, too much! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
