black_feather -> How Come (3/21/2002 2:41:42 PM)
I'm playing the normandy campaign as the British and I found I can buy elefants :confused: how can I turn this off? Thanks

Warrior2 -> (3/21/2002 7:43:56 PM)
Turn off your purchasing finger. In other words, don't buy them. :D

Thanks [/B][/QUOTE] Are they Afican Elephants or Indian Elephants? If they are African just don't buy them, Indian Elephants maybe they are with the Indian Commonwealth Units. They are great for moving those AT guns around. :D Sorry my humor go the better of me.

I'll bet they're African elephants mothballed (and don't ask how to mothball an elephant...it ain't pretty) from the Boer Wars...

Iñaki -> (3/23/2002 12:49:35 AM)
Never mind about the presence of your own elephants (both, indian and african know their duty). Your problem will begin if you face those evil German Mice Squads. Only one coul rout all your attacking elephant company. Sorry, couldn´t stand temptation.;)

I once knew a tool and die man named Klaus. I always thought he was in the wrong busines: He should have been making small habitational gear for rodents - that would be "Klaus Maus Haus". Bing

I think his dad was part of Richtoffens squadren in WW I

Svennemir -> (3/23/2002 2:04:33 AM)
The African ones are the biggest and also have the biggest ears. (I think) Remember to use ALT+O to overrun.

Oh, my God! I never even thought about overrun with elephants - if someone can do an appropriate sound file I WANT it. Ammo canisters for elephants = Duece and a half of peanuts? Who carries the shovel? Bing

Now: There is only one elephant trumpet in the sound file - get at least one more in there. Then: Combine the elephant sound file with the screams of the overrun file and we really got sumpin'.

Sorry it took so long (been working on something related for about 5 hours now) but I think this will fit the bill. Oh, and that other thing I mentioned I was working on...? Well, when you get a guy with a weird sense of humor, and 80,000+ WAV files in his collection, started on something like this well... You'll just have to hear it to believe it I think. Too big to put up here so I'll have to u/l it to my own server and you can get it from there. Try [url]www.occoffice.com/overrun.wav[/url] when your curiosity gets the better of you. :) (Fair warning...the file on my site is 2.5mb):cool: Sheesh...I should know better than to try to FTP with the flu. I mistyped the filename when I uploaded it to my server. All fixed now. Just crank up your volume, click the link up there and enjoy a 2 minute sound file of a [I]serious[/I] elephant overrun attack. :D

Belisarius -> (3/23/2002 8:35:15 PM)
Bernie, you are amazing!! first one was OK, but in the last version you can REALLY imagine the chaos of stampeding elephants and men running in all directions! It's a 10 on a 1 to 10 scale :D :D :D

Warriors wit wins for best answer. Purchasing finger-hmm-my purchasing finger is sort of like my credit card-overused.

Bing -> (3/23/2002 9:58:15 PM)
Bernie - You are the recipient of the "Young Tom Edison Award". Now, that and $2.00 will get you on a CTA bus, all the same the second stampede file is a work of pure genius. Er ... couldn't you get those guys to yell louder?? Just kidding, this has been the most fun we've had since the hogs ate my little brother. My mother thanks you, my father thanks you, my sister thanks you, if I had a brother he too would thank you. Bing

Charles2222 -> Donkeys Anyone? (3/23/2002 10:04:40 PM)
We seem to have a propensity for animal jokes around here. And to think we haven't even had any focused on animal cruelty. I was a veteran of the AAA-laden donkey Taliban forces thread, so I thought I'd stay away a bit from this one, especially how everyone has ignored the real question asked, but, on 2nd thought I'll add soemthing. Firstly and most importantly black_feather may want to delete his steel.prf file, reset his preferences and try again. Other than that I've never seen a game which allowed me to pick forces from another nation. bf might want to look out for having accidently hit the 'nation' key, and then having Germany as the nation selected, instead of then backing out, but if that were the case I would've thought he would've caught on and would've complained that instead of one German unit mixed in, he would have nothing but German stuff. On the sound file, to really add the entire experience, and folks, this would be a first, since we don't have any sound files where the supply boys are given their due, such as a Tiger file with it fueling up (go to gas station and record some fueling, or to be more realistic to record it coming out of Gerry cans), moving a bit and then firing a round, but along the same lines, you could record the sound of a bag being opened, then the sound of someone eating something which we might imagine sounds like an Elephant eating peanuts (maybe the sound man eating Doritos) and then proceed to the overrun sounds).

Charles - Ma foi! - You sound like a supply man! Moi too - Charlie Battery, 75th AAA MIssile Battalion, Waldorf, Maryland, SIR!!! VIP outfit - waxed and buffed concrete floors every day. Hey - no beans, no bullets, no war. Bing

Charles2222 -> Ma Foi Back at You (3/23/2002 10:54:14 PM)
Bing: Nah, though I am a mainframe computer operator who uses self-serve pumps, and being keen mostly on strategic games, I do tend to think in terms of supply more. Games without the possibility of supply being threatened can get pretty mundane after a while, eye-splitting graphics or not. My current supply on-the-job consists of Pemmican hickory-smoked beef jerky, perhaps being elephantile in nature.

Bing -> (3/24/2002 5:45:18 AM)
If you pay close attention you will find there is a relatonship between unit movement and actions and the sound files - but often not more than a casual one - i.e. not timed or truly synchronized. Thus we get sound of motors running that stop before the unit is done with its movement. My favorite is during a horrendous firefight, motorcycles will start revving up and make a movement sound - when they are being absolutely blown apart. Since the sounds are darn fine to begin with, this isn't really all that noticeable. There are other oddities, such as something that sounds a quick release of air - "Phffft!!", sharp and brief during bombardment by certain types of arty. I have no idea what it is supposed to be - I have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soundcard and Monsoon 1000 speaker system, so that isn't the cause - plus I have heard them with a entirely different sound setup.

Bing [/B][/QUOTE] The motorcycle wav is obviously being pointed at the wrong file. We can fix that. The "Phffft!!" sound...hmm... I'll have to research this one a little to see if it applies to WWII arty, but some arty shells used during the 60's through about the early 80's did have a "braking chute" that would pop out and allow for better above ground bursts. Could be that's the sound you're hearing. Although, I think it was only used on tac nukes and submunition rounds (bomblets, arty seeded mines, etc.)

I have no idea what it is supposed to be [/QUOTE] Ive noticed the same thing. I cant figure out what in the world its supposed to simulate. Its not limited to a certain kind of gun either. Ive had British 3-inch mortars have the sound as well as American 105mm howitzers. Odd little sound, for me it happens right on impact. I do have one idea. Correct me if Im wrong but doesnt powerful artillary when it explodes go outward then suck its self back in for a very brief moment right near the core of the explosion? Something to do with air pressure I think. I cant remember if I read that or if Im just thinking I did and am thinking it all up.
