If you copied and pasted a formula from one cell to another, then in all likelyhood the formula is wrong. It will have at least one incorrect cell reference. Some formulas can be added using Fill, but most will also have a progressive error that has to be corrected by editing.

A simple way to view the formula as typed (rather than the normal view of the formula result) for easy comparison and editing is to press Ctrl + Tilde. Tilde may not be the right name for the key. It is the one with the squiggly line on it next to the "1" key. Press Ctrl + Tilde again to return the view to formula results.

The work around for copying entire ranges of formulas from one workbook to another without changing the absolute cell references is to have both the copy from and paste to worksheets open and both in the Ctrl + Tilde view. Copy the range of formulas from the first worksheet and then paste that to NotePad. Select and copy the entire range in NotePad and then paste it to the new worksheet. Then change the view back to formula results by pressing Ctrl + Tilde again. This will give an exact copy of formulas and not create cell references to other files.

What this sounds like to me is that you do not have a full install of CC5 on the computer. Without a full install, the game has to pull the map files into memory from the disk each time it loads. The problem you describe is most likely due to a dirty or scratched CD or a CD-ROM lense that is in need of cleaning.

First clean the game disc and use a disc scratch removing device. They are very inexpensive and available from most stores with an electronics section. If the game CD is severly scratched, you may have to resort to hand buffing or using a small hand drill like a Dremel with a buffing wheel and a good plastic polish.

Next, get a CD / DVD lense cleaner, also very inexpensive and many types available from electronics stores. Choose one that is capable of cleaning audio and video CD and DVD ROM's that will work on computers, players and soundboxes. Run it two or three times if the ROM hasn't been cleaned in the last year. Clean the lenses on all your devices at least once every six months thereafter.

Assuming that cleaning the disc and the ROM lense corrects the problem, make a back up copy of the game disc for safe keeping. Then bite the hard drive space bullet and do a full install of the CC game. That will help to ensure that the game is not having to load off the disc every time you go to play.

Four years old might be considered ancient, I'll admit. However, I am a card carrying member in good standing of a Luddite cult. I prefer to use 3C.

In general, yes. It depends on what it is you are changing. If you are just replacing elements that have the same height like a Wood Fence for a Stone Fence, then the game will handle the hinderences and evaluate the LOS for adjacent units per the Elements file. In this case, generating a new LOS, which can take a few hours, would not be necessary.

If you are adding new elements or removing old ones that have significant height (more than 1/2 meter), like trees and buildings, then you do need to spend the processing time to cook a new LOS file.

A note about coding and recoding maps: Whether you use 3C or 5CC, you need to ensure that you are using the proper Elements file for the version of game your mod is for, and that you have all the tree graphics WITH APPROPRIATE SHADOWS for that version. Both come with stock trees and a small selection of tree shadows. If you are using additional trees in the Terrain file, you should make sure that these are in the editors and have additional shadows in the support files. Nothing looks silllier on a map than having leaf tree shadows for pine trees or pine tree shadows for palm trees.

Soldiers do have a height difference by their stance, but I don't have any idea by how much or how the game engine calculates it. I can't recall an instance where it was noticable to me for my units while attacking, but I have seen the effect while defending. I've watched as an enemy team in a wheat field become visible when they stood up to run, then disappear when they dropped back to prone.

A definition of "Large" maps, please. Is this about the larger CC4 and CC5 maps (along with the larger WaR and TLD maps) which most here are familiar with, or the largest type maps from CCMT - the 1km X 1km and 1km X 4km maps, which fewer are familiar with?

I have RtB. It is not worth the money I paid for it. It is a bastard red-headed step-child of CCM v3.0 that was stripped of much functionality that compounded many of the bugs already prevelent in v3.0. The USMC Gazette version of CCM is v3.1 that is still bug ridden, but is far and away better than what RtB is based on. I know this, because I worked on v3.1's test team. I would not give RtB to anyone that has any respect for the CC series.

I wil not support any torrent of RtB. It is that bad. It is not CC. It has a bad production history and it shows in the work. It is crap that I would not wish on my worst enemy.

I will support any porting of RtB maps, data and (mostly worthless) graphics to CCMT by a modding team for files, but will not do any more production work other than the Data Workbook and the Revised QClone for RtB & CCM v3.1 thatI have done and are already posted in the Downloads here.

You really, really, really don't want to waste your time and assests on RtB.

I think that if you look deep enough into this, you will find a whole lot more US Congressional influence than US military posturing. One man's symbology is another man's yawn. Did you also catch from other sources that the majority of the crew are native New Yorkers? By individual request. So it means something to them and in a sense to the entire US, but you would be very hard pressed to find a concensus on that to be much more than, "Oh. Really? That's cool, I guess. Did you watch the ball game?"

From the Wikipedia of the San Antionio (yet another "symbolic" US city) class LPD-21:

7.5 short tons (6.8 t) of the steel used in the ship's construction came from the rubble of the World Trade Center. The steel was melted down at Amite Foundry and Machine in Amite, Louisiana, to cast the ship's bow section. It was poured into the molds on 9 September 2003, with 7 short tons (6.4 t) cast to form the ship's "stem bar" — part of the ship's bow. 6.4 tons of a total displacement of 24,900 tons. For a part that is below the water line. And juts out in front of the prow.

Yeah, that's kinda cool, I guess. What does it symbolize? A variety of emotions to a small fraction number of Americans. A media hype event for this week's news to most. The answer to a 2000-2010 Trivial Pursuit Edition question. Yesterday's news next month. And, quite frankly, as Therion pointed out, an example of recycling. I have an cigarette ashtray made of Mt. Saint Helens' ash. Does that symbolize the mountain, the lives lost, the forests flattended, the sections of land (a section is 640 acres) that had belonged to Burlington Northern Railroad or the Bureau of Land Management that landed 250 miles away?

It means whatever you want it to mean to you, man. Just don't expect me to go along on your trip.

The primary reasons CC5 mods will not play in CCTLD Classic CC5 are:

1. Different .EXE (Note that CC5 mods are made for the patched CC5.exe and many don't play nice with the unpatched CC5.exe).
2. Different data file formats.

That being said, it is a whole lot easier, but still takes some effort. to convert CC5 mods to play in CCTLD Classic CC5. The number of maps and the number of campaign days are the same, unlike with CCTLD. Mod work can be done now, but might require updating once the CCTLD patch is finalized because CCTLD and CCTLD's Classic CC5 use the same .exe. Simplier mods that are only data and graphic changes can be done now without need of updates.

CC5 mod .ADB files should be extracted with the Revised QClone .INI files for CC4 and CC5 ( http://www.closecombatseries.net/CCS/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=44969#44969 )

CCM v3.1 was distrubuted through a disc included in one edition of The Marine Corps Gazette. The disc install adds a Training Documentation folder with the relevent USMC manuals, which would answer your questions. If your copy of CCM v3.1 does not have a filled Training Documentation folder, then you don't have the disc, or a true copy of the disc.

So sad for you.

Albeert, I am sorry that no one answered you before this. I believe that what you and your opponent have run into is one of the bugs in CC5. Your grand campaign may be stuck there and can not be fixed unless you have a saved game from a prior turn.

I don't recall all the possibilities, so hopefully someone else will now post an answer about what your options are.

Good point, Mooxe! The entire team in the Team Monitor reports as on Ambush. If the team was put on Defend, most would report "Can't see" or "No target". I have seen that many times in CC3 through TLD where one man in the team can see someone of lesser value than the rest, but no one can draw a bead on the highest value member of the target. LOS seems to be there, but when you order a shot, they won't fire on the Tail End Charlie if a leader or higher value weapon holder is still out of LOS. Nature of the game!

Mooxe, what is their definition of "close"? One centimetre or 1 metre? For the .50 cal, which type ammo - M2 Ball (856 mps - Mach 2.4), M23 Incendiary (1036 mps - Mach 3), or M903 SLAP (1219 mps - Mach 3.5)? Something going Mach 3.5 going passed my ear only 1 cm away probably would hurt my ear. At 1 meter from my ear, it would still be a loud "Crack", and might make my ear ring for a while.

Again, which type of 25mm ammo fired from what? Lots of ammo types to choose from and weapons that fire them, each with some difference in muzzle velocity, but generally speaking, all produce Mach 3+ velocities. Several thousand Joules of energy zipping past in a micro-burst super sonic shock wave.

For either calibre ammo, the Inverse Square Law is your friend - the greater the distance, the less the effect. Then there is MET-T, angle of incidence, clothing, ballistic protection and hearing protection worn to be factored in. It has gotta hurt if just a few millimetres away from yer noggin, but might just be another bastardly aspect of a truely fucked up day at multiple cm's.

I nominate the jerk that makes the Jackass movies to be the test subject for a clinical trial, with a less than accurate gunner. Twisted Evil
