(ahem) So, what was that I recall about someone wanting a CMBB BONE Thrown???


Recommended Posts

Damage...It is pain, destruction, chaos and up till now in Combat Mission it was resigned to the realm of the imagination. Well no longer.

Allow me to introduce yet another new CMBB game feature. Damaged Building Textures!!!

Now then, have a nice look at the following pictures but rememeber one thing. They were all taken about a month ago and as cool as they look here, in 10 days from now I will show you how we have pushed them even further into the realm of overwhelming slack jawed coolness...Don't ask questions about them just yet, in 10 days all will be revealed...well not ALL, but enough ;)

So how do they work? Well, when an individual building gets damaged suffeciently these textures will replace the default one automatically. Each building has its own damaged texture set, just like it has its own winter set. We wanted to have both a light and heavy damage texture set but we are already pushing the limits on textures so we could only do one.

HOWEVER in 10 days (or so, maybe more maybe less) I will show you what we DID do to make these things even cooler...and forever change how city and town maps will look....

In the last picture you might notice there are two identical buildings next to each other, one with damage and one without. Pretty nifty eh?

MM,

While I am not an expert (as many of our European friends are) on European architecture, I did live in Budapest for 6 months, and the damage that can still be seen on walls is very, very similar to these screenshots! Nicely done!

Nice ass on that tank
Yea I agree, that ass looks nice. I can't wait to get the oppurtunity to attempt a REAR PENETRATION on it!!!

Like fact that he's either missing his legs below the knees... or he's somehow rising from below street level...

Actually, I think there is just a slight change in elevation between the foreground with the buildings and the open space across which the soldier is moving.

His lower legs are just hidden behind the elevation change.

Absolutely Awsome News!

Good job guys you are really improving CM in all aspects. If we still have any non believers they should be shot.
