Hi all,

check this vid:
http://www.closecombatseries.net/CCS/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=4008

especially be carefull at 1:34 and 1:37 mins. that rox!!!
at last someone made good WH40K mod on CC engine!

THANX CCMT CREW

[Vman]

Is that actually a WH40k mod? I can't really tell what makes it that.

What has been altered? There is also a CCV 40k mod by zcharles.

If this CCMT mod is any good, I just might have to buy the game...

I think that is a vid of one of the 2 "instant action" scenarios included with CCMT.


The other 29 scenarios are varied and give you time to deploy your teams.


That scenario is a great way to jump straight into the action for a new player.


Would make a great Warhammer base too.

It comes like WH40K out of the box...

huuu, who knows maybe the Mk 19 AGL (automatic grenade Launcher) will in realety be able to do what it does in CCMT by the year.... 40 000 AD? hehe

[schrecken]

Serious fun

The system was deployed in Southwest Asia during Operation Desert Storm and devastated enemy infantry.

Hmm

mmm

I don't understand what you are implying, if anything.

Indirect fire over 2 buildings , just like a mortar

Maximum range: 2200 meters
Maximum effective range: 1600 meters
Rates of fire:
Cyclic: 325-375 rounds per minute
Rapid: 60 rounds per minute
Sustained: 40 rounds per minute
Unit Replacement Cost: $13,758

Indirect at 100m??

[schrecken]

The CC engine can't model it any other way, but it is feasable if difficult to accomplish.
Although we modelled the UGL by assigning 2 weapons to the soldier.

This might be a solution but the soldier will need to carry 2 AGL's......

Got me thinking now, .. could probably creat a zero weight AGL as the 2nd weapon.
1st AGL has direct fire capability only and carries the usual data.

the 2nd AGL is indirect fire only and carries the zero weight data.

will look into that


Thanks for the helpful feedback.

The CCMT team :0)

[AT_Stalky]

Is it.... Really....
Not... How about its used only as Direct fire, as most battles is WITH IN 800m in CCMT.

[schrecken]

Nah

I like my idea better.

thanks again

EDIT:
some maps are 4000 metres wide.

[AT_Stalky]

Nice u edited your post...

[schrecken]

That's what the edit button is for... haven't you ever used it?... it's at the top right of each of your posts....

[AT_Stalky]

Why am I not suprized... You edit 72% of that post, not a word is the same, but I like the idea AFTER you edited it..
See what some reserch will do to CCMT... Continue it, and who knows what CCMT will be..

Another thing, as im at it, does this image give you any ideas of the effectiveness of the 40mm AGL grenade?
Or have I missed something, is it a 40mm WH40k nuclear greande?

[schrecken]

Effective radius is 15 metres

We have it 10-15 HE blast radius

60mm mortar 12 m HE blast radius, which the Mk40 replaces in combat units

[AT_Stalky]

hhmmm
mmm

[schrecken]

yes

The basic programming for indirect fire weapons in the CC series has never modelled the geometry very realistically. Since CC2, I try to place my mortar teams as close to the back side of a building as possible to gain the extra protection, yet they can fire right over a 3 or 4 story building and land a round right on the edge of the opposite side of another building. It just can't be done that way in real life.

That's one of the reasons that an entirely new engine is being written for CC6. The game codes for the CC series were not created from scratch for each new game. The previous code was used and new parts were added and new parts added to fix things that didn't work right in the newer parts.

By the time of CCM and then the commercial version CCMT, some things within the code are so strung out with exceptions, revisions and re-directs that what would seem like an easy, logical change is not easy at all and leads to many unintended consequenses. Simple A + B = C calculations become A + B = C if D is used but not E, then F - G, but if F >H, then I - J, but only if K < A, then use new table W and then subtract L from B, but only if D is in table W and if not then use table Y and add the cosign of M, then take that to table Z and add that line to A before you do anything else.

I was on the test team for the bug fixes of CCM v3 to get it ready for the Gazette version 3.1. The changes were being done by programmers at Atomic and they even had a lot of problems with it. One "fix" caused Night of the Living Dead like zombies walking around the battle field that could not be ordered or killed. Funny to see, but a waste of testing time. TheBlood! has said that the codes are so full of stuff that is no longer used that they could be one third the size if all the band aids could be pulled out without breaking something.

Drill,

what is yer post about?
anything to tell on the issue in the video i pointed?
