the engine will see them no matter what you do with them even 100% transparent... as it doesn't really "See"
|
If they're transparent...they won't show up on the map...but soldiers still receive terrain value modifiers when dug in.
The visible "newly dug trench" graphics looks cool...but then you can "see" and "plot" enemy locations based on where they appear on the map (after getting LOS to them).
To be honest I forgot how CC4-CC5 handled newly dug trench within LOS.

You could see them as soon as you hit Begin.. LOS or not.

Not 100% true but close to it. Some trenches would remain hidden untill LOS. These were usually ones behind houses and such. It was really just a crap shoot if your trnech stayed hidden, and you lost 90% of the time.

I need help. I cant play the next battle on the grand campaign while playing as the Germans. I had defeated CCB/9th Armored on the Beho map on the previous turn and they disbanded so I thought. I try to view CCB/ 9th Armored but all I get is the ammo and fuel icons. When I hit "next", I still cannot see CCB/ 9th Armored and the "next" icon for battle is not clickable. How can I fix it?

Suggestion cant that "new dug trensh" be made almoost totaly invisble/well camoflaged???
|
That suggestion has merit, whether it's doable with this code is doubtful.
|
I don't think you need to fiddle with the code.
CMIIW...but aren't "newly dug trench" graphics just TGAs in the Terrain file...same with "weapons pit" and stuff. So it's just a matter of changing those TGA graphics to be less visible (camouflaged) or make them totally invisible (transparent).
|
Yes, exact what I mean, just make the grapix for the trench v cammoflied. Now they lit up like "shoot here" ...
Now, Im not a grapix artist, but something in the line with the attached image...
Notice its really easy to cammoflage a winter trench FROM surfice spotting, air recon is harder to cammoflage it from due to shadows.
Anyway see suggestion:

Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2008 5:16 pm Post subject: nitpick: US AB wrong uniform |
|
|
Okay...this is kinda nitpicky...US Airborne team graphics are not historically correct. I believe the team graphics are from CC5...in Normandy US Airborne wore Khaki M1942 jacket and trousers...the graphics in CC5 reflected that.
Edit: some might argue that they look more like Pathfinder camo though.
These US AB team graphics are now used in WAR to represent US AB troops...the thing is in the Ardennes campaign US AB wore M1943/M43 jacket and trousers...same as the standard Army uniforms...not Khaki M1942 gear.
So US AB representation in the original CC4 is more historically correct.
Soldier uniforms of US AB without winter camos in the game are also wearing khaki uniforms...need to be fixed.
Again this is nitpicky of me...but historical accuracy is a big part of CC's strength and appeal

Yes, can you please attach your saved game.
Bit hard to tell what happened from your description so far.

I posted this at Matrix but figured here wouldnt hurt either.
On the strategic screen I notice you can view when the Allied replacements are comming and where but not for the Axis.
Edit:
Also why wasnt the box deployment changed to be more like that of COI?

The manual states, "UDP 6073 and the range UDP 2302 - 2400" but nothing about TCP. Either a manual error omitting TCP ports or the game does not use TCP. Could we get a confirmation?

So the manual is correct, does this mean a TCP connection is not supported?

While no ports are mentioned, the manual very clearly talks about TCP connections...so it is supported, and my typical connection. I would say that is an error of ommission

I've played 99% of my H2H games using the "Internet TCP" connection method in the multiplayer screen.
I have extra ports set up for other versions of Close Combat and MMCCIII
But these work without any problem for me.

yes but what you've set in your router is not the same as what you've posted - ie you've included TCP on your router but omitted that from the faq info posted.
