Epée Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 People have been asking to replace the voices with english. That is heresy. I want the realism! What I really want is subtitles. Can we have subtitles? Now, that would be totally überly cool (and by cool I mean super sweet)! Hear our plea BTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 I've learned much German from CMBO. I plan to learn Russian from CMBB! CMLT (Combat Mission: Language Teacher), who knew? Now if BTS would just release CMST (Combat Mission: Spelling Teacher), I'd be all set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 My thought on the subtitles is that it might clutter up the screen, though of course if they are only on the screen for the few seconds it takes to read them, that wouldn't be too bad. But in a recent game I had to turn off labels because there were so many "Abandoned" and "Knocked Out" signs all over the map it was getting hard to see anything else.

Sabrewolf Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 It'll be funny when doing the human wave and all the russian shouting URRAAAHH with a text saying "DUCKKKK!!!" above the unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 What happens if two or more units on different parts of the map say different things at the same time? This could get confusing.

This could get confusing. MichaelWell, you could have a separate log window that did not interfer with or be in the way of the rest of the interface. Examples include RPG games like Neverwinter Nights, and the Infinity engine, with resizable log windows. The problem with this solution is that you don't see who says what directly. But it could be solved by linking a line of text with the unit name, to a camera reposition link aka a hyperlink ***: ***3. bat 2. company 4. squad***: bla bla bla BTW another handy feature, would be a director's camera, that automatically jumped between the hotspots in a replay turn. Granted, it would not be so useful when checking the overall progress on the battlefield, but would instead make for good 1 minute action packed mini warmovies. Naturally you would want to be able to turn it on and off. It could also be implemented through a mini-window, like in conquest: frontier wars if I am not mistaken. You use the unit window screen in the replay phase to show the hotspots. [ October 05, 2002, 05:02 AM: Message edited by: mrbear ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer76 Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 OMG.. I can think of about a zillion other features, that would be actually useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted if you were playing on a very small map, it would not be a problem, but with max mapsize and scores of tanks, it could get a bit problematic. Or would one of your zillion other suggested features solve that particular problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epée Posted October 5, 2002 Author Share Posted October 5, 2002 Or maybe only show subtitles for unit currently selected. That way, no cluttering up of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aka_tom_w Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 I think it would have to be easier to JUST MOD the wav voice files with english from the Stalingrad movie. then replace the wav files Subtitles are IMHO almost technically impossble at this point. I seriously doubt we will see them in a patch from BFC. oh well -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
