wawa Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 hi all, okay i was thinking a few days back lets install shockforce again, i did and installed the patch, started playing and working super, btw.. cracks dont work with this game!!! no devs i have the key im official just tried it cus i wanted to be fast but bump heh mission starts first enemy is sighted and poef frozen. good becouse people must pay for these type of games so more cool things will come out. anyhow thats not what i wanted to talk about. the thing i wanted to say is is it really difficult to make a button where you can select if you want unlimited time or 1 hour etc like you can choose if you want to play real time and or turn based. there is enough ammo in the strikers for all so that should not be a problem. also what i would like to know and also im hoping actually for this is is there going to be an uber patch like for theatre of war, with new campaigns perhaps this time in iraq... thats all thx and good hunting to you all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Welcome to the forum, even though your post is hard to read due to the lack of punctuation. There are issues with protracted scenarios. Tank and TOW ammunition have sometimes run low / out in high intensity operations. Anyway I think the gist of what you posted was that you enjoying it, so great. Should get even better when 1.08 comes out. [ March 27, 2008, 07:00 PM: Message edited by: gibsonm ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkEzra Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Wawa: In a campaign or scen time limits are set by the designer... To change the time for a scen just load it in the editor and make the change that suits you....

Field Marshal Blücher Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 You can't make the time unlimited, but you can set it so that all scenarios have 2-hour time limits. Personally, I've had mixed experiences with time limits. There have been scenarios where I felt like I could have beaten it if I'd only had ten more minutes, but I've also beaten some scenarios with an hour or more to spare. As to the ueber-patch idea, the closest thing will be the various modules that are yet to be released. You will have to pay for them, but they add much more than the TOW Ueber-Patch. For instance, the Marines module will add an entire new Marines OOB as well as a new campaign and new Syrian vehicles. Every patch that is released so far makes a difference, and the game is really, really good right now, but I'm still looking forward to each new patch. Welcome and enjoy the game! -FMB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wawa Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 i know all of this about the time setting just that i wanted an unlimited time possibility 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Originally posted by wawa: cant wait for the new patch to come when more or less? "soon" if you own the BFC copy. "soon" plus a bit for the Paradox version. "soon" plus a little bit more for the Paradox version to actually work. Last bit is my opinion only based on what I've seen with earlier patches. Maybe Paradox will get it right this time - who knows (not me because I have the BFC copy). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abneo3sierra Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Originally posted by wawa: i know all of this about the time setting just that i wanted an unlimited time possibility I think, in limited play myself, that as ..I think Mark mentioned above, it would not work with unlimited time, even if you could (which, AFAIK you cannot) because ammo with most units quickly becomes an issue..the next best thing would be to design your own scenarios, and pick each up where the last left off. I tried that some with cmbb, and it worked well enough, no reason it wouldn't here. A little extra work, but you could reasonably play through time limited only by your free time to load up the next start positions, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 The other big issue, that CM:SF skims over is hydration and fatigue. Doing MOUT for more than about an hour (at the outside) without a rest plan, given the prevailing temperatures would result in very tired people wanting lots of water (far more than they carry on them or could be "fudged" by saying its in the vehicle). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wawa Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 work or not work i would like to see the option, the people can decide if they want this or not via the button. btw love the game... im hooked again after patch107 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great thinking. How about cheat codes so you not only have unlimited time to make up for your limited tactical abilities, but an "instant win" button too? And an end screen that gives you the Medal of Honor after every scenario? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtMuhammed Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 It usually last right up to the point where they decide that for some reason they can't bring you any more. God I hated running out of water. Food was bad but you start going downhill in a hurry when you can't hydrate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other Means Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 also what i would like to know and also im hoping actually for this is is there going to be an uber patch like for theatre of war, with new campaigns perhaps this time in iraq... You know you can download and play different battles and campaigns already? There's a link to Webwing's outstanding campaign at the top of the forum, for the rest go to http://www.cmmods.com/ (and other places) Or make your own with the scenario editor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I'm in the middle of redoing one of my old 3rd party scenario. It was only an hour gameplay but I'd consistently run my men entirely out of ammo every time. So when the v2 version comes out theres' going to be a quarter hour chopped off the runtime! The AI instructions have been accordioned-in accordingly which makes for zippier gameplay too. Big improvement overall. Sometime more is not better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
