BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 I noticed between the .50 cal mount on the M20 that part of the bmp for that AFV's front wheel is in between the two "supports" of the mount. Very weird. Maybe it's just my computer warning me of a melt-down. Better do a scan disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Yup, it's your computer about to melt-down alright. Believe it or not that little strip for the top of the .50 cal Browning has its own bmp graphic. If your machines starting to swap-out graphics I'd say (if you have a mac) your B-tree's goin' wacky and you need to rebuild the desktop. If you have a pc, what I just said will be jibberish.

BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted April 4, 2002 Author Share Posted April 4, 2002 Hmm. Did some maint., and it is still there. Very odd. Does anyone else see it on their Cm battlefields? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 I'm guessing that you've got a mac. What I would guess you did is overload a resource file. They can only hold 16 megs of data. What generally happens (say with MCM) is that it fails silently. That is, it can't install the mod due to lack of space but it doesn't tell you that. Then one or more textures will be missing from the game and CM puts something in there anyway. In my experience the problem isn't a filesystem problem but a silently-missing-texture problem. Thankfully that's gone in CMBB (yay, no resource fork graphics). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted April 4, 2002 Author Share Posted April 4, 2002 Originally posted by Cameroon: I'm guessing that you've got a mac.Naw, a PC. It is really odd looking. It's not replacing an existing bmp texture, it's adding a new one all together. In between the two supports for the .50 cal is a quarter of the wheel (reduced in size) that comes from the side bmp of the same vehcicle. I'm going to go see if my buddy's M20's have the same problem. I really don't think I've discovered something new though. I think it's probably these damn buggy Nvidia drivers I'm still using. That, and the pathetic Windows Me OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Bergman Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 This is a "feature" of the M20 model. The wheel pops up at certain viewing angles. Also a "feature" is the fact that the left side of the gun barrel is stretched and blurred. There's nothing wrong with your machine, and also nothing we can do about it.

BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted April 5, 2002 Author Share Posted April 5, 2002 Thanks Marco. That brings my BP down about twenty points. I thought for sure I was going to have to call Dell and chew them out AGAIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prepare to greet your M20's original owners , if you get me a turn today. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
