We love screenshots

[stalintc]

Dont lie we all do :)

So im just starting this thread so we can post some screenshots of what we get up to in this great sim!

Anything, action shots, scenic shots, formation shots etc etc.

The shots I posted below are from "Flank Attack - Autumn" and shows what happens when some Leopards catch a mech company from the rear!

The 4th shot is from a infantry game of hide go seek with a BMP lol

Look forward to seeing all your shots and what nots!

Cheers

[BloodOrk]

Nice shots stalintc.

Here is one of my favorites. It always reminds me to watch my back...
That BMP realy kicked my a**.

Nice im liking the infantry shots there, we dont see much of em in screenshots. They really dont look that bad if you take the right sort of shot.

Killing 2 BMPs with one shot, very impressed, now what you want to do is kill a BMP and have the shot come out the other side and knock out a tank!

I love that one of the infatry stalking the T72s I actually think that is quite an effective shot!

i like the troops on the TIS pic, they look almost like realistic!
i wonder how many Humvee (or other light vehicle) can we kill in one KE shot...

Dachs - which T-72 skin is that?

It's CZ Studio's "T-72M1 Soviet Nets" from the "CZ_Studios_T-72M1_Pack_Rus_and_DDR.zip" package.

The 2A4 in background is also a CZ work, muddy Fin with nets I believe.

Besides adding the dude and some sunflare, I tried to add a little heat wave on the left where the engine is, which didn't quite turn out as I had imagined, but I don't think detracts from the pic too much. And the dude was clipped from an actual photo; a Bradley's TC in the desert.

My second thought: "Russian tanks painted to look like crocodiles for ambushing LAVs approaching water" The russians will try anything...

[foeh@mmer]

Well, I didn't create this. This is a case of the red AI attempting to cross an unfordable river. Like lemmings heading over the cliff. This happens quite frequently. I think the AI logic needs to be tweaked. This never happened in SB1. Sort of screws up a scenario if half of the redfor never make it to the engagement area.

It couldn't happen in SB1 because there simply were no steep embankments. And "the AI" doesn't attempt to cross rivers on its own. Someone has scripted a route across the river without testing if it works. Is the computer responsible, or sloppy mission design?

Put the blame where it belongs. The computer does what it is being told, not what you want it to do.

Nils, I disagree.

It can have nothing to do with the scripting. The vehicles have been "told" by a programmer to wander around on their own.

I have put tanks in a defend position to overwatch a breach in a minefield. They were roughly 100 meters short of the minefield. Sometimes they get aggressive and wander past the waypoint and into the minefield and get themselves blown up.

Similarly, just the other day, I played an online mission and set several LAVs to overwatch a river crossing where Bibers were set up. They were all told to defend and were on high ground at least 100 meters from the river. EVERY one of them wandered into the river and drowned.

That sent me scurrying to the manual and I guess I should have put them on HOLD rather than DEFEND. HOLD does not allow them to move forward while DEFEND does.

Granted, I used the wrong behavior mode. Live (or die) and learn.

BUT the AI should be smart enough to not drive right into a river, even if it is allowed to wander around in a DEFEND mode. The AI driver should see the water and avoid it. Instead, they seem attracted to it (witness the screen shot).

Arguably, they might blindly drive into an unseen minefield but NOT a river.

I would call that a bug. And I would argue it should be fixed.

HT

[dejawolf]

the AI probably thinks the embankments are the worlds best battle position!
well, at least until they slide into the river.
rivers ARE good battle positions though.
you can sneak troops along the rivers pretty far.

[CharlieB]

This is one of my favourites.

[Volcano]

In the screenshot of the river above:

90% of the vehicles in that screen shot are not "dead". The BMPs, BRDMs etc are simply stuck on the steep embankments and they cannot get out. So saying the vehicles are driving into the riverlike lemmings (thereby implying they are killing themselves) is not the case. What we have here a conflict between most of the vehicles knowing they can drive in the water, but not knowing how steep the embankments are. Ssnake is correct here, you cannot program every possible case into the AI's consideration.

In that situation someone *could*, at the moment of that screenshot, drive the vehicles down the river and look for a shallow exit.

[HotTom]

Granted, the BMP probably is the best swimming vehicle in SB.

But, whether the problem is the deep water or the embankment slope, the AI driver should be programmed to take one virtual look at it, say: "No way, Jose!" and back away. It also should be capable of sniffing around until it finds a safe way to cross the obstacle.

HT

[Homer]

Is that the Leo1 with the new Light Sabre attachment :)

Good shot Homer.

Yeah Homer, you could'nt get it any better! :)

I would say thanks... but that's me on the receiving end. heh

[Chaplain]

I would agree with HotTom that AI units should be able to tell when a route is clearly impassible. However, I know of a case where 3 M2's went over a cliff that was clearly marked in their IVIS system and was part of the pre-exercise safety briefing. No one knows why they did it because the PL and PSG both died, along with 3 other crew members. :-( Therefore, "clearly impassible" may not be so easy to define.

Regardless, I think that it is the player's responsibility to monitor his units, so I would see no need to give the AI the ability to figure its own way around such an obstacle. Maybe AI units in this situation should give a radio call saying they have arrived at implassible terrain and need guidance?

And, of course, scenario designers should test the passibility of routes themselves. If this happens to computer-controlled units, as opposed to player-controlled units, I think it is the scenario designer's responsibility to adjust the scenario until it stops happening. In that case, it is certainly not the responsibilty of the developers to create AI that can sort this out on its own.

[foeh@mmer]

Amen to all you guys. This screenshot was actually from the Red Decision Point scenario and it happens all the time. Whenever I check red's final position in the AAR, a substantial number of vehicles are either stuck on an embankment or have drowned in an impassable river.

[3Star]

When I was creating my Bridges at Meragen scenario, I wanted a river crossing, but the problem was that the embankments were too steep to just drive up the other side.

I gave the AI routes which plot straight down into the water, get half-way across, then make a dramatic turn at an angle so that instead of trying to get straight out the other side, they go up at a more gradual slope. Over 80% of the vehicles get out, which for an unreconnoitered river crossing with amphibious vehicles really isn't all that bad.

NTM

[Ssnake]

I have put tanks in a defend position to overwatch a breach in a minefield. They were roughly 100 meters short of the minefield. Sometimes they get aggressive and wander past the waypoint and into the minefield and get themselves blown up.

Similarly, just the other day, I played an online mission and set several LAVs to overwatch a river crossing where Bibers were set up. They were all told to defend and were on high ground at least 100 meters from the river. EVERY one of them wandered into the river and drowned.

Can you simplify both missions to the point that the undesired behavior shows up right from the start, and send them to me or Comments at eSimGames.com?

We can then use them as test cases to improve the behavior. I concede that if what you're telling is true, this can and ought to be addressed. A test case helps us a lot.

yeh I saw your post I did not have any problems with that. My question was answered by KT, the way the posts in that thread run it could be taken by the layman that all the Screenshots are from Steelbeasts. I might add that I have no intention of playing Armed Assault or Operation Flashpoint however credit must be given to the graphics being employed as the CR2 and Scimitar models are the best that I have seen sofar.

I would have to agree. The detail is straight from OP Telic 1. All they require is a more realistic Skin to give them that authentic look. May be a good source for the Yellow KT is after.

I think the ASCOD is better protected than the Warrior. The gun is stabilized, and (a bit) more accurate. Especially the Warrior can't really fire bursts without seriously degrading its accuracy I heard from people who should know, unlike the Pizarro. Well, no wonder - at 20 or 30 years design time difference the Pizarro ought to be better.

So, it probably works as a substitute if you turn off the stabilization and if you play by gentlemens' agreement to fire single shots only at a rate of one every two seconds or so. (Warrior crews are being trained to re-lay the gun in both horizontal and vertical axis after every shot).

Not sure if the Warrior commander can override the gunner, which may be another difference.

[IrishHussar]

Hi Snake
for many years I have been led to believe that the rarden cannon, fitted to both warrior and scimitar is capable of upto six round bursts. I do agree that a certain amount of accuracy would be lost however it is regulary practiced during firing camps.

[Ssnake]

Well, I visited a company developing gunnery trainers for the Warrior and others. Yes, there is the capability of burst shots, but the round dispersion is deemed unacceptable in the current operational environment/context (could be considered "indiscriminate" by Geneva convention).
The consequence for trainingis to train single rounds only with a maximum of accuracy by re-acquiring the same target after each subsequent shot. At least that's how it was presented to us that day.

[JanTog]

Great shot, I tried to get one like that once and gave up.

I would have to agree with Irish. The 30mm Raden does have the capability to fire burst. Agreed that there is a degree of dispersion when firing burst but that is also the case when 50cal or 7.62 from a pintle mount.

I seem to recall from watching numerous CAMD and CAFD (Combined Arms Manouvre/Firepower Demos) at Waminster that the accuracy of the 30mm during a burst engagment is surprisingly accurate.

But of course it all done without the veh moving due to a lack of stabilisation. who would think that in the 21st Century the British Army is still fielding vehs with hand dirven gunery sytems and non stabilised gun platforms. I am embarressed! :$ ;@

Upload the pic somewhere, like photbucket or so, then copy the link to it. add ""http://www.blablablabla/image.jpg""

But remove the " - I had to put them in to show the text, it tryed to create a pic otherwise :)

My video card is an "ATI X1950XTX". Although, I did make some minor changes to the temperature and contrast of the images w/ photoshop.

As for the sky, it's from "Jaguar's Sky Texture Pack Ver. 4.0".

Affirmative on the woodland skin. Is that the 1024 or 2048, I've updated the green on both M1 and M2 if you would like to have them just pm me your email address and I will fire them off to you. One is 2048 and the M2 is 1024.

Well actually, I was almost becoming a British citizen once.

After my second time in the army as a conscript Sweden stopped the officers training so I couldnt continue (and when they opened it up again I had a good jobb) so I was in contact with the British Army and checking stuff up to move to UK, become British Citizen and then join the british army as it have a fulltime jobb.

what stopped me was that to join the army you had to been a citizen for 5years. and giving me the 1 year to train up my skills to pass the english test your guverment wanted me to do, and train away my damaged achilles heel, plus those 5years in the UK and I would be to old to join the army!

so I gaved up on that project....

so Im still in sweden with the nice blonds/boobs :)

/KT

[Jester_UK]

Yeah the British armed forces used to be pretty strict on who they'd take. I tried to join the RAF in 1987 after returning to the UK from South Africa for the first time. Although I was a born and bred British citizen they wouldn't take me because I'd been living outside the UK for a few years. They told me at the time I had to have been resident in the UK for at least five years before they'd take me. I was absolutely gutted at the time since I'd wanted to join the RAF from the age of about 10.

I think the rules might have changed now though.

(But with all those blondes and boobs you've got going for you, why would you want to change? In fact if your unit has a place for a 40 year old half cripple I wouldn't mind moving over there!!)

Ok,
I have a question...there is a big difference in the quality of some of these screenshots. What exactly is the difference? Is one version older then another? Graphic cards, settings? I see that the vehicles are skinned, I got that, but the terrain and even the buildings and sky are completely different.

Honestly it looks like two different games.
What else is modded aside from the vehicle skins?

Thanks

[Skybird03]

The difference is that in shot 1 I used an approach of using a tele in reality, choosing a camera angle that also places some vegetation in front of the tank that then is softening up the picture a bit. Also, it is a winter map. Shot 2 is a skinned vehicle with a separate sky texture, default summer map. Picture 3 obviously used some photoshop editing to brighten colours and add some kind of blurr effect - it is heavily edited with tools that have nothing to do with the simulation's internal possebilities. Shot number four is simply an autumn landscape, pretty much default everything.

If you want to choose special camera angles, you need to arrange that either in the AAR, which I avoid when doing static shots of vehicles, due to the sub windows and markings that could interfere with the motive, or you line up the photo in the mission editor. Both methods have the disadvantage that special effects (smoke, explosions, muzzle flashes) are not visible. If you want them, you better film a live mission with fraps or another tool, later extract poictures from that movie. Special effects of very short durations probably cannot be taken in a different way (muzzle flashes), as long as you do not wish to depend on many, many attempts and a good ammount of luck concerning timing.

Hey Torak, as Skybird says, he tinkers a little with photoshop, plus I think most people take screens like Skybird's in the briefing screen, when you can manipulate the camera a lot more to get interesting angles.

I prefer to take my shots in-game using the views that are available, partly because I prefer them that way but also because I'm incompetent at photoshoppery!

Hey man. Can you only play BF2 in multiplayer?

[Torak101]

Hey man. Can you only play BF2 in multiplayer?

Well, you can play it single player but the AI is for poop. They all just run around in circles. Its more to learn the controls, vehicles and the maps then to actually play on.
There are a few decent private servers without all the kiddies but its still nothing on the level of an actual tactical/sim game. Its just good clean shot'em up fun, nothing else. No authenticity at all aside from the models. Its not to bad in multiplayer but I play with some folks from work on a private server.
EDIT
I hate to get to far off topic but BF2 does have a single player community who made a bunch of mods for the game. If you want to continue the conversation please PM me
http://battlefieldsingleplayer.planetbattlefield.gamespy. com/

[Brennus]

I'll have to apologize, because I "edit" most of my screenshots! I make minor adjustments to both contrast and temperature, and sometimes, I'll even add blur to simulate camera focus. My goal is to convert the screenshot into a photograph w/ a touch of "artistic expression". I hope that helps to clear things up...

PS: I like your sig! :biggrin:

That depends on what version you play:debile2: BF2 vanilla is not very good at all.
However, look at this...its no sim but an excellent mod with a great community that fully supports "tactical style" of play.

Of course you can do everything with 7. But the pain level to do it is much lower with latest version.

here are some strange behavior of the damage model :

Why didn't the tree detonate that ATGM??

[BlackDeath]

Why was my CV90 destroyed, shouldn't be a mobility kill? and why did i loose my TC on the M1? he's on the other side of the tank...

[Kingtiger]

BD, try to post that in the SB Pro PE Support Forum, you might get a answer there, this tread is for screenshots you taken and want to show off, not for showing problems you have and want answers on (thats what support forum is all about)

and for the tree: I dont think they have done it so trees stops anything?

[BlackDeath]

rgr...

the trees stop HEAT and our ATGMs, why not enemy's ATGMs?

well just for the fun :
an empty tank...

[dejawolf]

yes, trees stops ATGMs and HEAT warheads.
maybe the HEAT round retained enough energy after punching through the tree to do some additional damage. try putting the CV90 at different distances behind trees, and shoot the trees while aiming for the cv90, and see if you're capable of killing it.

[foeh@mmer]

I seem to recall Ssnake meantioning that the shot bars (or whatever you call them) are off a little. So, the actual trajectory may be a little left of the tree. Ditto for the M-1.

[Ssnake]

Though the chances of any HE/HEAT round/ATGM warhead to pass through a tree without getting triggered are (very) low, they're not zero. As long as it is a very rare freak incident, I would not be worried. If missiles are passing through forests on a regular basis, I would be very concerned; expecially, if this happened in single player mode. A little less so in the case of network sessions, although even then it would warrant closer inspection at least by the beta team.If you do observe such a behavior, and if you can reliably reproduce it - ideally at a very early stage of a mission - please send us the scenario file. I think it's safe to say that we would be very thankful for this kind of support, and show our gratitude to the first guy to submit hints that will lead to the elimination of such a bug with one of three merchandise items which are usually reserved for very special people, or visitors to our stands at exhibitions.

Just checking out compatibility of my mods that use the replacement sky dome with the new Beta this afternoon, and this one caught my eye.

[Tacbat]

Here's a couple. First two are examples of what happens when the AI gunner isn't careful enough. Good thing the lead CV wasn't destroyed! The last one shows what happens in the planning stage when you move an ATGM team around the map. The guys moved, but it looks like they forgot something. Not to worry, they had it once the game started and used it to good effect.

The explosions are from Pyro4, but the white smoke has been darkened by 75%. The Night Mod works from 50m out to 2km depending on how far you want to see into the night. I have the moon set low in the eastern sky for Sky_Fog, and high in the southern sky for Sky_d1. This automatically takes care of matching how the sky looks with the scenario's view distance.

Navigation is a challenge, but at 50m the anticipation of a knife fight in the dark really get's your heart pumping. At 2km is plays about like a day scenario, but with a different ambiance.

My night mod for Panzer Elite found some use in Multi-Player, where everyone commented on how intense things could get.

Just finished up the Desert, and Winter texture changes for the Night Mod. It really breaths new life into some of the older scenarios that I've already played time and time again.

The Explosions are from where?
Question. If I were to take one of Cobras skins and say changed the hull number from 302 to 303, then gave the impression it was mine, do you Mr. Magee think it would piss him off?

I think if your explosions were a bit less asymmetrical I'd like 'em more. I think Major Magee thinks so too.

That screenshot looks eerily close to stuff that really happened in the Land Between the Two Rivers. And I mean that as a compliment; great scene!

[MajorMagee]

Look Chance, he asked a question, and I answered it.

We've already been through who's been given credit for the original artwork, and I've never pretended it was me. All I've ever said is that the color / shape modifications to your files were to better fit with the rest of the simulation from "my" view of artistic harmony.

If you're concerned people don't understand that, then just remind people that these started out as your creations, and skip the condescending sarcasm because it's baseless.

I love Tacbat's recent Czech Republic Tiger Hind skin. I reduced the saturation and brightness to fit in with the other textures of my Winter Night Mod, and took a couple of quick snap-shots. Happy New Year. :D

[Tacbat]

Nice MM! One of those may end up as my wallpaper. HNY back at 'cha.

[Ssnake]

You should post some of your screenshots over at SimHQ.com as well. :)

MajorMagee,

Any idea when you could upload your nightmod here ?
(is not done already, no ?)

Looks terrific !


THX,

Here we have a story:
Picture the scene: SB Generals (red) Vs Panzer Btl 911 (blue)

Pic 1: This guy here is merrily trotting through the woods,
(insert tongue just behind lower lip when you read this next bit)
On a real tank hunt, with real bullets, and a little purse to put them in.
(okay you can stop now)
When low and behold he spots a PanzBtl911 crewed Leo2, suitably distracted by Shady's M1, he whips out his RPG29 and lets rip.

Pic 2: Results of the carnage. (along with several crys of jubilation, half of us have lost our vehicles by this point)

Pic 3: Same guy different tank, only an outbreak of stupidity is involved, he fires his AK this time, the F**king numbnuts.

Pic 4: Oh crap, he's seen me.

Pic 5: Balance is restored.

Well done !!!

He deserved that sabot :diable: !!!

I would have thought that a KE round was a little excesive for a dismount - coax would have done the trick. Gunner forget to select coax???

Dismounts are a nightmare in woods!
