Kanonier Reichmann Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Just a suggestion T.B. You may be missing out on gaining interest from some people as when they see the thread they could assume it's all about having a crappy computer which wont run CMBB particularly well. You might want to consider changing the title to the thread by deleting the bit "due to hardware". I almost missed looking at it myself since I don't have a problem with my hardware (now) and wasn't going to bother looking at the subject because of it. Just a thought. Regards Jim R.

Alan Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Not to gloat but my PC has both a DVD and a CD-RW drive. I have CMBO in one and CMBB in another. No more switching CDs for me. If your willing to take on new people I'm willing to play in the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treeburst155 Posted November 4, 2002 Author Share Posted November 4, 2002 Alan and WineCape, Yes, I might just add another CD Drive. Kanonier, I think you may be right about that. Let me see if I can edit the title. Never done that before. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Treeburst - try Daemon Tools. It enables you to set up "virtual CDs" on your HDD thereby eliminating the need to continually swap the CDs around. It really is a timesaver if you play both CM games and avoids the danger of damaging one or the other CD with constant disk swapping. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted November 5, 2002 Author Share Posted November 5, 2002 Looks real interesting, Rob; but quite involved. First you need the disk image (1:1 copy), which requires another piece of software. IOW, I would probably have to spend several hours before I was actually running CM without the CD. Thanks anyway. It's an interesting site. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 True Treeburst and it does require a fair amount of HDD space for your "virtual images". But at least I can forget which CD is currently in my drive when I fire up CM. The other solution, of course, is to buy a second CD drive so long as you have a spare EIDE connection inside your PC.

Schugger Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Still enjoying the good ol' CMBO occasionally. It has been a long time since I have played any competition games, though. The game will remain on my HD in eternam (or until the latter explodes)just for the fond memories I have gaming it. BTW, hi Sergio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I added another CD drive when CMBB arrived, making 4 overall. Well, anyway, hi Treeburst! After claiming that CMBO is crap since the arrival of CMBB I now came to the conclusion that there are issues with CMBB which will make me like another round of CMBO. In a word, I am in (and out of my CMBO arrogance chair). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Ahoniemi Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 Hi TB155! I will certainly play both games. I still have something to prove for myself in CMBO. Juha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakthrough Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 Im in for a CMBO Tourney :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 Now this is funny. I was looking for my CMBO CD which I didn't use since September and for the hell out of it I couldn't find it. Turns out it still is in its old CD drive (where I assumed Airborne Assault CD was hanging out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted November 9, 2002 Author Share Posted November 9, 2002 Redwolf, It's clear you have too many CD drives to keep track of. Please send one of them to me ASAP. Yeah, CMBO is still every bit as good as it always was. The arrival of CMBB doesn't change that. Besides, they still have some bugs in CMBB to work out. I noticed that Boots & Tracks recently released a couple more CMBO scenarios. If this forum is active enough, we may see the big design names devoting more time to CMBO. We have two problems to overcome before we can hold another CMBO tourney (RoW style). The first is that we need scenarios, and the second is me getting the time to organize the thing. December 1st the signups begin for the B&T CMBB tourney. This will eat up a good chunk of my free time; BUT, work will be real slow for me for a couple months starting about December 20th. I think I've seen enough AARs now to design some fun FICTIONAL scenarios for a tourney. I'd really like to try it. You guys would be the guinea pigs. The big question here is, would people want to PLAY in a tourney with fictional TB155 scenarios? :eek: Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobo Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 TB, You can count me in for CMBO RoW tournies forever. I just missed the final round (congrats Vadr, you really did beat me bad :mad: ) and am dying for a rematch. Regards, Hobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
