Apache Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 I liked his gunmetal interface and clip-board orders mods and was wondering if we'd be likely to see them re-vamped for CMBB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Unless I am horrendously mistaken, you are looking at his work every time you start unmodded CMBB, so I think it is fair to assume he is still about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanco Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Hi Apache, Yeah, I'm still kicking. I'm unqualified to post here, since I know nothing about tanks, historical realism, etc, so I hang out in the General Forum. I got an idea for an interface mod, but I figure I will wait until everyone is completely sick of looking at the original one first. That shouldn't be too much longer, at the rate games are played around here. Plus now I'm actually having fun playing the game, I was really burnt out after doing the interface but I have a couple PBEM's going and lost a minor defeat to the AI last night. The AI had this one tank on my right flank and maaaan, did this guy tear me a new one. I just could not take him out. Finally I suckered him into an ambush (using the cover arc command, works great) and some soldiers blew him up with some kind of anti tank grenade. (I wish a tooltip came up saying the name of the grenade or whatever when you put the pointer over it.) I made a point of finishing off the crew, out of spite. Boy did that guy hurt me bad.

jgdpzr Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Yep, your interface is sweet. Great work, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanco Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Thanks you guys. To give credit where credit is due, Steve and to a lesser extent Charles kinda acted as producers. And like good producers (I have some experience with this in music), they didn't tell me what to do, they just steered me away from what not to do. And the beta team had good feedback as well. So it was really a team effort. Anyway, glad y'all like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there were, only about a dozen people would be talking to each other! I think it's safe to say 95% of the posts are amateur if not downright silly. So join the crowd and happily post some nonsense! Ren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenPerhaps your own grasp of "knowledge" issues does not permit you to accurately pass judgement on your fellow posters? Off the top of my head I have read detailed, accurate and interesting posts offering historical commentary from at the least several dozen posters here, though if I stopped to count they would no doubt number in the hundreds.

Renaud Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Apparently I have touched a nerve! I defer to Dorosh's professional status and remand myself to the ranks of the amatuers. I also point out that amatuers are quite capable of posting interesting topics. My point was that lack of specific professional knowledge shouldn't stop you 'shooting-the-bull' here.

jmbunnelle Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Deanco, I don't say this very often since I can always spot things that need to be overhauled. But your interface is absolute perfection in every sense. Elegantly utilitarian and streamlined yet brimming with essential information. Sounds like a review soundbite!

Panzer Leader Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 The only thing that could top Deanco's great interface would be Deanco's AWESOME Clipboard orders menu. Now THAT would be perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Deanco's clipboard menu actually made it into one of the middle Betas and I was mighty fond of it. The present menu is much more useful/functional but I did get a kick out of that clipboard. BTW, I DO like the way things blink and flash as you click on 'em!
