hello

I would love to play BoB online but it sounds impossible

Each time it crashes with a message "CC String Error", and no one seems to have found a solution

If you wait for another version you will have to wait because after spending almost a year to this i think i will deserve a break.In the readme it says " this has not been tested in Lan or multiplayer".

Tried to make it playable against the Ai and you will have to hold on to this for now...sorry!

I must congratulate the Mod team for the Berlin mod. This is an absolutely superb modification and brilliant depiction of this fascinating battle. When I first saw the discussions from the development team I thought this was going to be totally mismodelled, and was actually doing research to create my own Berlin mod. After playing this I stand corrected, the research, modelling accuracy and map making is supeb, if it wasnt for the multiplayer problems and the turret art bug, this would be a professional quality product.

I just wanted to offer my sincerest thanks and appreciation to the development team. Take a bow.

I always founf CC worked best with mainly infantry and say two tanks as support. Looking at the screenshots of this mod it seems to be quite heavy on the tanks. Is this the case?

If not I shall download.

If you dont like to have any tanks dont download it! What did you expect, the assault on Berlin was one of the greatest offensives in WW II and the Russians had a lot of armour....

Just asking.

I have limited Harddrive space.

Seems I offended you. Looks like I'll have to watch what kind of questions I ask round here. Or maybe ask them somewhere else.

Also you dont need to give me a history lesson. I know enough. CC is a game and can only rcreate a minute section of the battle. So I thought it a fair enough question.

Sorry.

feel free to ask them type of questions wodin.
just dont post them about battle of berlin.
and dont let any1 tell u what or what not to download either.
as for playing with ur tank limits in games 95% of player will respect the limits set by the host.
as it is a skill in itself to play with limits as it is to play without limits.

You can say anything you want about this mod but i think it is a rather stupid question to ask if the Russians have any armour or not..dont meant to say that people cant download or not...sorry for that...

I wasnt asking whteher they had any armour. I was asking whether the battles were armour intensive. I understand the campaign warrants they should be. Its just with the problems CC has with tanks especially against the AI I prfer battles where you have say two or three tanks as support and the rest infantry.

If CC didnt have problems with Tank AI and pathfinding I would download the mod straight away.

I think you misread my question.

Thankyou

One other thing Sapa. Though Berlin may not be for me I greatly appreciate everyone who takes the time and puts in the effort to make a MOD.

I have been a CC fan since CC 2 came out. I really do want to thankyou for your hardwork and I look forward to any other mods you release.

I also can see everyone has great priase for Berlin and if I had the time to play online again I would download it.

Well...
I did that and deleted the FOLDER (the SSI folder, right?)

...and...Failed to copy C:\ Program Files\SSI\Close Combat Invasion Normandy\CC5.exe to System\Original\CC5.exe because C:\Program Files\SSI\Close Combat Invasion Normandy\CC5.exe does nor exist.

Ffffffffu.....sorry. Darn! the same thing.

What is it with my computer that it keeps saying that the CC5.exe dont exist...when IT DOES!!!!

Why cant (close combat) things just go smoothly for me?

Been trying to get that mode going for three days now.

More tips?

No....thats not the problem at all, because I can play the original CC5.

But....

After trying to install the plugin for the tenth time I got tired and did this:

I took every singel file from the BOB folder and copied in to the (hopefully) right folder in the Close Combat game.

This far there has been no problem, but it feels a bit "unstable" I mean, it can crash any time...I think.

Not to worry about this is what the plugin is all for, so I still want to know why I cant get it to work using the Manager.

So it seems that somehow the plugin manager dont work.

Tips?

Zeke,

Had that in the past with the meusse mod once.

I suggest start fresh all over again. Do not forget to uninstall the CC5 patch as well. Uninstall your config mngr as well.

So a clean start

Install cc5 to the location where it wants to put itself (C drive program files)
Now install the patch, do not install that to the ssi folder if you need to select where to install it but somewhere els in c:/ programs.
Verify that you have the patch, on the mainscreen down right it should read version 5.01

Install your config manager somewhere on c:/drive NOT in the SSI folder (ref plugin manager guides here at the site)

Thaen install maps in pas folder etc etc.

REMEMBER when you install new maps of another mod, make sure you are switched back to the original game before installing the new maps.

Give it a try one more time Wink

*Sigh*....

Now Ive tried all that to, but no!
The same message...fu...!

And...I couldnt find any manuall "install download"!!!!

And again...just as I feared, the game crashed, error message something with "corelli draw couldnt bla, bla, bla"

So I guess I just have to give up. Here I am with a new computer and I cant get this mod going (and now Ill say it) FUCK!

Thanks for the suport!

.....maybe another tip?
Cheers

Also do a "SEARCH" with your error in the forums that exist Idea

When you got that message it is surely a Computer related problem...jag har själv varit förbannad över det!!!Even if you have a new computer you cant be sure of that Close Combat works!!! If you really want to play CC through away XP and install Win 98, i did...

Another tip, if you have CC3, make a full install of that game because i have noticed that during the install it updates windovs.The Direct Draw error is an old problem for this community

Hi

I am running it now using 98 mode. But the problem was that I didnt get the plugin version to start. So now Im running the game after I copied all the files in to folders manualy. That is a bit sad though because using plugin manager is a very nice option (that I cant use!!!)

(Så nu skiter jag i plugin mangern och spelar berlin ändå...och än så länge funkar det...ta i trä)

Cheers

In my point of view BoB is one of the best mods for CC so far.
Only thing I somehow dont like is that German Inf teams mainly carry 30Panzerfäuste not 60 or 100.They have very less chance to kill JS and stop armourd masses.Also the Panzerschreck is useless pretty often,a T34 isnt knocked out after an sidehit with Panzerschreck on 100-150 Meters...
I think Infanterie AT should be raised,in 1945 most units where equiped with betterthen 30 panzerfaust.Panzerschreck isnt a great help against Tanks either in game

#38: Tanks in Game Author: 4Reich,

Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2005 1:52 pm

There is another point in BoB I realy dont like.The tankbattels.
After 2-3 shoots tank vs tank most of the time the same happens ,Maingun damaged or chain broken =tank useless...My Königstiger get killed by an T34 at 50 meters Sidehit,on the otherhand my tiger need 5 shots to kill an Stug at 60 meters .I would like to know how the damagesystem is managed in that mod.Königstiger have very less chances to kill 3-4 T34 on open field I cant understand that.I think the Tank-damagesystem should be redone to make it more acurate.
