Pzman Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Good work. Maybe this will keep the local systems in line... err maybe not. [ July 02, 2002, 08:47 PM: Message edited by: Panzerman ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Chins! Soldiers with chins! And necks! Did anyone notice that some of the armor now actually has hull MGs? How exciting! And the Ferdinand has beautiful, prominent welds and armor joins. (Trying to notice things others didn't.) Wonderful new features and improved gunnery and ballistics, too. What a treat! Here's hoping that you revise the Panzerschreck and similar so that they come up to the graphical standards of the radically improved troops, uniforms, armor, buildings, etc. Lovely, tasty bone, Madmatt (crunch, crunch, gnaw, gnaw).

Kwazydog Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 John, the updated armour calculation code Charles has put into CMBB is amazing, I am sure nothing will come close to this level of accuracy for some time to come. Even the size of the wad of spalling armour is calculated depending on the size of the non-penetrating shell hit, etc. Fun stuff Matt is correct, the Pz-IV seen there isnt complete and we will probably remove the symbol. Neither is the III for that matter, as the mapping on the side hull has a problem. Matt has done a pretty good job of covering it up though Dan [ July 02, 2002, 09:18 PM: Message edited by: KwazyDog ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie the Toad Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Speaking of noticing and not noticing.... the first look I took of the 'Death Head' tank, I thought the picture was incomplete -- no gun barrel on the tank --- Upon a closer look I discovered that the camo pattern caused the gun barrel to blend in with the pseudo trees in the distance. One could expect that I especially liked the green, tan and brown highlights....... Toad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie the Toad Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 OOPS ! I meant the "Tankers Hat" pic not the Death Head. But check out the way the cammo of the barrel blends in. Apologetic... Toad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcm1947 Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Well, well, well. So they are alive or at least not vacating in some topical place spending all their money on booze and girls. But back to the pictures. Transparent walls. Damn, that's a great idea. I'm excited. Can't tell you how many times I thought that that would be a great feature but didn't know if it was possible. Guess it is. Thanks guys looking very very good. The graphic's are so much improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

von Murrin Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Nobody's noticed the dry grass, or are y'all afraid to ask Dan whose grass mod he's using? I also like Russel Crowe in the PzIII. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History Buff Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 You guys keep getting better and better. At this rate the game won't be out until oh, 2005, but it will be great. Keep up the hard (and great) work!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Crowley Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 The new textures are sumptious. Great news on improved ballistics etc. Being able to see through walls, outwards, is a very nifty and useful little feature. Nice multi level bone.

Thomm Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Cool: o MG barrels, o 3D details (smoke dischargers), o Overall impression of the Ferdinand tank, o transparent walls o more detailed 3D faces o the bush in Helmet Closeup 1 Not So Cool: The tank in http://www.battlefront.com/products/cmbb/bones/7_02/pages/damage.htm shows almost no shading. This is not good (see George-III)! The drop shadow interferes with the doodads in a somewhat peculiar way! The hands of the tank commander in http://www.battlefront.com/products/cmbb/bones/7_02/pages/tankerscap.htm are way too bright. There is a single sided polygon problem on the front section of the fender of the Ferdinand! The lower side hull (behind the wheels) should be the darkest section of the tank, in my opinion. The uniform textures in the helmet closeup pictures look very blurred and like a pencil sketch. I think the addition of 3D objects like binoculars or flashlights without a underlying 3D structure should be avoided. The transition from the neck to the back of the head is too low! What I'd like to see: Even more polygons on the soldiers' faces. They are worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 I'm not only very impressed, but I will give you...(Checks in pockets for cash)...a whole seven dollars and forty six cents if you send me the demo!

No matter how great a current work is, it doesn't seem to stop people from trying to make a mod that tops it or changes it in some way.
