foamy Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Anyone else notice that in CMBB it takes a long time before the "Quit-to-desktop" (ALT Tab) will work after saving a PBEM game ?? Also, on my machine the left ALT + tab only works occaisionally, the right ALT tab works always, but very long time delay after saving a PBEM ?? Is this normal ? In CMBO the ESC key works instantly.

ParaBellum Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 In CMBB once you enabled the 'ESC' key it works like a charm. At least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParaBellum Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 You're welcome. The 5.00 € plus 1 € service charge please send to my home address. Found it here: What you ever wanted to know about CMBB but didn't dare to ask: MISCELANEOUS COOL STUFF New Camera Shake option (SHIFT-K) that adds "bounce" when you’re camera-locked to a moving unit. You can have a unit padlocked but still rotate the camera around it, even while it moves. x16 camera zoom level added. NOTE: You can not select units at this zoom level. SHIFT-Q hides play-aid graphics – great for taking screenshots! Axis base color is blue, Allied is red (after setup phase is finished). When you drag a targeting/LOS line to an enemy near enough (20m) to a TRP that your unit qualifies for a boresight bonus, you’ll see "boresighted" indicated. Note that your unit cannot have moved in order qualify for this bonus. It is possible to save the game from the AAR screen. (Windows version) Press Alt-shift-; (i.e. Alt- and this will reactivate the ESC key ability to switch to the desktop (in case you prefer ESC to alt-tab for this purpose). More slots (20 total) for faces. ‘Tracers’ have textures instead of solid color. 1 for Axis and 1 for Allies Soldier heads and torsos have better models Battlefront.com -> downloads -> demos -> CMBB -> new features Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
