gunnersman Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 I would like to be able to minimize the game by hitting exit as in CMBO, I miss that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visom Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 gunnersman, that is still possible. Up to you if you want to use Esc or Alt-tab Another feature I want: Possibility to withdraw ceasefire request. If I think I have control of all the flags and spot a hiding enemy half squad I want to call off the offer until I have eliminated that unit. There are other reasons as well that can make me change my mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Visom, you can do that now. Just hit SHIFT-C again, and your request is cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpkr Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Okay, I started a thread on this, but will mention it here as well. In the scenario editor, I would like to be able to use a "Y" shaped hedge, fence, road, wall, woods/road, etc. This would be particularly useful in urban or village settings, where the current work-around using three or four tiles to make a "Y" intersection is inadequate.

Tuomas Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Originally posted by mPisi: When setting waypoints, allow the backspace key to delete the last waypoint, while the mouse is active for setting the next waypoint. CMBO allowed this, while in CMBB the backspace key doesn't do anything when the mouse is setting the waypoint. Enabling the backspace key allowed quick corrections of waypoints, especially when right-clicking to add a number of waypoints in a row.I too missed this feature when playing the demo and I'm sorry to hear that it isn't in the final version either. I usually play with both hands, left one on the kayboard and right one on the mouse so it is most convinient to use backspace to delete the last waypoint and add a new one with the right mouse button. This minimizes mouse movement and the number of pressed keys. While I'm at it I just want to raise again the question about the new rotate/starfe function. As I have described I play with the left hand allways on the keyboard so pressing shift has come second nature to me. So there is no new funtionality with this new system. Actually it is worse than with CMBO because I now have to pay attention how high my mousepointer is. So for me the easiest option would be turning of this new function(of course by it being optional) or adding a new functionkey, for example Control, which would set rotate mode on. I chose Control because it is under Shift key. My finger is on the Shift-key allready so pressing Control instead Shift would be easy. This way you would not have to press either Shift nor Control if you don't want to, but if you don't want to pay attention to the mouse cursor you would just choose the key that suits your movement desires and push the mouse to the side! Maybe even further moving options could be added. Now you can move forward and rotate or move back and left/right. But with the proposed system maybe you could rotate and move at the same time by pressing both keys!

(When I receive a movie it would be nice to just accept it and return the result file and then later on watch the movie when the next file arrives). This would speed up PBEM games, as we could then tell our email clients to accept and return the file immediately without touching the PC.This also would be very convinient. -TNT- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Crierie Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 I'd like to see the PRINT SCREEN key remapped to output a full color bitmap or TGA file of what's on the screen at the moment to the CMBB directory... Some computers cannot ALT-TAB out from CMBB without crashing, and having to save the pix outside of CMBB is annoying, especially if you want to take a lot of pictures....

Visom Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Thanks Andreas, missed that in the demo. Ryan, if you want to get multiple screenshots without exiting CM try UOSU. You can take as many screenshots as you like and they'll be stored on the HD (numbered either in sequence 001, 002... or with a timestamp). Great tool for screenshots, I don't understand those who prefers to take one shot at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Bates Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 I would like a user-definable view system, option to disable mouse camera panning, option to turn off "gun smoke", option to turn on shockwaves, option to make tracers/shells larger, proper city buildings and another factory style.

mchlstrt Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 On the JT model, one of the Periscope Hoody Thingies is in the wrong place. Probably got bumped by accident before the glue was dry. & they took off the box poly on the rear, though the added polys are very nice. Pickety Modder stuff.

TSword Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Can only second most other posters. - If fumbling of vehicle turnrate is necessary, please check out the brilliant www.jagdtiger.de Panther videos before (The beast turns fast on the spot, much much faster then an Abrams for isntance which almost throws his track,hehe). - Marders can transport a halfsquad, if you don't believe i'll send you the photos. - Even a vector blob would be suffice to me, to emulate horses for towing. (6th German Army for instance had around 300'000 horses !!!!), or in another word something which though being slow doesn't bog outside a road.....How should i emulate a retreating inf-column with support weapons in the open now ?????! - Because the bikes hadn't made it in, we need something else with a MG being small and fast. How about VW-Schwimmwagen with an MG, and able to transport a 2-men section ??? (On the russian side the jeep with the same feature). Now i have no vehicle for recon, and by recon i mean to race to a spot in cover and then leave the vehicle take the glasses and observe. Why that ? In real one can easily recon even with a KT if deployed turret down, the observer then either can observe from the open hatch or climb onto the Turret, or park the beast behind a house leave the vehicle and observe. As all this can only be brought in with a lot of programming into CMxx the Schwimmwagen/Wheep-solution with passenger AND MG is the cheapest. (What in hell should i do with footslogger Recon units ???) - Ari-Observer with radio can of course man a vehicle and do his duty. Ever heard of the flying Ari-observers which terrorised the germans in WWII ? - For AI controlled vehicles the collision detection should be disabled or better by user choice even a command line para would be enough . Maps even with only a bit of wood or other obstacles (like road bends) hopelessly clog the AI-vehicles for turns without end, which makes their already tiring slow attack speed in general even slower (not to be misunderstanded as to low vehicle speeds in detail)..... - It's now quite difficult to plot waypoints within 2-story buildings. (Maybe i missed some new tweek ??) - For unit selection in scenario design mode a general ammo selector would be great. Example i buy an Inf Cpy and adjust the ammo count for all the squads and units. It's extremely tiring to adjust levels for a multi Inf-bataillon force. A short and cheap method would be a single checkbox in the HQ-unit's edit-screen "adjust all units", if checked adjustment of the HQ-unit then automatically adjust ammo counters of subordinated units, the same for morale and the like. This way one can quite fast adjust levels for a bat, cpy and platoon to a satisfactory level. Greets Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visom Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Ultima Online Screenshot Utility: http://www.hh.iij4u.or.jp/~kmatuoka/uosu/indexe.html Developed for Ultima Online, where you obviously can't Alt-tab and save the screenshot.

Maastrictian Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Please give people the option to go back to the CMBO style mouse commands. In otherwords, I would like placing the mouse in the lower left corner to rotate the camera left while moving the camera back. I understand some people prefer camera movement the way it is, but it would be nice to allow toggling. --Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treeburst155 Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 Wow! There are no real issues here IMO, except for Redwolf's half-squad scoring, and the half-squads embarking on Marders. Even these aren't super critical things. It's really amazing how few bugs have been found so far. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
