I'd like a 5% chance opposing BGs will pass each other like ships in the night when exchanging maps. Not every advance was made along an MSR.

Some indication on the Soldier screen which units are currently in the active roster. An indicator similar to the old yellow brackets [ ] for the soldier selected in the Soldier monitor to replace the kludge of replacing "BATTLE PAUSED" with an apostrophe and then finding the selected sold...

CC needs: An AI that creates in-context voice sfx on the fly to replace the stock phrases. Select a team and hear some of their chatter. Post-battle get custom promotion or unique ass-chewing. A soldier AI which displays a wider range of combat behaviors, eg. not 4 walking soldiers bunched up so the...

Greets Comrade. Remember you from the old days on Sulla's site. If you happen to still have the save file you can post this to the TBF tech forum here and The Blood will likely look into it. Steve's made vast improvements to the game mechanics [scripting!] but cc vets mostly prefer the classic Stard...

Mafi's 5CC map tool can export images of CC maps - http://www.closecombatseries.net/CCS/mo ... t&lid=3362

I hear your complaints about the various CC scenario editors through the years. Frustrating that editor features have come and gone but have never been optimized. Doubly sad because scenario creation was at the heart of CC's popularity in the late '90s. Look into these editing tools [ http://www.clo...

F8/Options also pauses the game with the advantage that the Options dialogue box can then be dragged offscreen which allows the game screen to be viewed in full.

The Givet.btd file will need to be edited in the BED9 tool to have the same exit VLs as the CCTLD map it is replacing to use it as part of an op or camp. You'd also want to ensure the total VL points in Givet.btd were the same as the stock CCTLD map for the campaign victory calculation.

Hold down the Ctrl key when you launch the game to get the Options dialog. Select the General tab, then select the native resolution for your monitor.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: fishrick10<br/> <br/> [&:]The game starts fine and then I get a "Disk full" error message. I have yet to be able to play this game.

The Steam client always tries to connect online but gives you the option to play offline.

<t> CCMT was derived from CCMarines. The 1x1km and 1x4km maps were specifically requested by the USMC to have a 1km map grid square for training, however the so-called 1x1km maps were actually 960m x 960m. 3x3km maps were successfully tested for CC_RAF but never supported in the release code. <br/> ...

In your CC Gateway to Caen directory copy the Graphics folder from inside the Blood_Mod folder and paste it into the HicksSoundMod folder. Delete the Blood_Mod folder and desktop icon. Launch both mods combined using the HicksSoundMod icon.

<t> GTC is very similar to PiTF with a few new wrinkles - <br/> 1. a rolling artillery barrage or normally targeted arty barrage can be set in deploy to start at the beginning of battle. <br/> 2. AT guns can be given 'camouflage' by setting them to ambush in Deploy. This reduces their visibility unt...

You can use Windows File Explorer to search for "Panthers" (without the quotes). Helpful to create a desktop snarvei to the Close Combat Panthers in the Fog directory once you locate it [:)]

<t> Very cool! Next best thing to having CC1's Replay feature again. Will mid-battle saves be available in MP?<br/> <br/> This could lend itself to some interesting uses - <br/> * save at the last second for a battlefield review/AAR<br/> * possibly change sides during battle by editing the byte spec...

<t> In the later CC editions players frequently encountered the paradox of attacking onto a map and annihilating the enemy only for the battle to be scored as a defeat because enemy FM broke before the player could take enough VLs. It would be welcome if victory conditions were based on more than ju...

The /D switch makes the game mod-friendly. Moving the User-made Battles and Saved Games folders from the game directory to Documents doesnt. Inevitably, when mods are installed some of these aggregated Battles and Saves will be incompatible when used in either the stock game or a mod.

<r> <B><s>[b]</s>Difficulty<e>[/b]</e></B> - a good idea to go with simple descriptives like Easy and Hard instead of the former thematic choices like Elite, Veteran and Recruit which were often misunderstood.<br/> <br/> <B><s>[b]</s>Visibility<e>[/b]</e></B> - I'd like the option 'Always see enemy'...

<r> One problem with larger team sizes is that the tactical AI needs to be that much more robust. Recall the 10 man CC3 Russian LMG teams losing stragglers on the factory maps. <br/> <br/> While I can appreciate the desire to get as command soldiers as possible I dont find small teams to be useless....
