Baloogan Campaign Stream

[JRyan]

Very nice thanks!

[RoryAndersonCDT]

Just as a bit of a teaser I've figured out a way to live stream COMMAND game play to google earth.

I have no clue how it will act with large scenarios though; I'd like to test it out with your help at 5pm today!





As I play an update KML file is uploaded to my server, and google earth allows for live updating KML files... as a result you might get a live display of all unit's tracks and elevations during the game!

[RoryAndersonCDT]

Google earth is a free program!
Available here: http://www.google.com/earth/index.html

IF you want to take a look at the KML here is a NOT LIVE version of the above data.

Going live in 30 minutes.
I've added the great US images from OldPascas's collection to COMMAND! (And to my opening slideshow)

Silly question ard you playing the game using Google earth?

[RoryAndersonCDT]

Nope; I'll be playing and streaming COMMAND gameplay. I'm going to test out streaming the gameplay over google earth but I've been looking at my network's upload and it doesn't look good at streaming 2x as much data.

Live in 15 minutes! I'm going to start off playing one of the real scenarios. No more tutorials!

If you want someone to find your videos with a youtube search, better add the name of the game in the title and description of your videos.

[RoryAndersonCDT]

Good idea!

Thanks to everyone for tuning in!

Done!

How did Lightning Strike turn out for you? I had to leave about 30 minutes after the start. Hope you didn't mind a few backseat drivers![:)]

[smudge56]

Keep up the great work I and many others I'm sure will find these useful and great teaching aids.

[RoryAndersonCDT]

I played Lightning strike for about 2 hours did pretty well so far! Didn't even come close to completing the scenario . This video is encoding now; I had no clue these things took so long to process.

Then I tested a google earth live stream utility. Its a google earth kml file that watches COMMAND gameplay on my computer and broadcasts it live into google earth on anyone's computer. It worked; but not too well. Needs a few more optimizations; it was a bit too much data for my internet connection to handle at once.

After that I played a 1980 GUIK sandbox scenario pitting a Soviet SAG (2 Kirov (CG), 3-4 DDG) vs a USAF Squadron (16xF-16) and a USN Squadron (8xE-6).
I loaded the E-6s with nukes, they didn't get close enough to the Soviet SAG to drop their powerful payload.
I created a CVBG in the sandbox that didn't really do much, too far from the action; really. I planned for the CVBG to be taken out with a nuke ASM launched from a spread of 4-5 soviet SSGN (Echo class).
I really wanted to nuke the SAG so I added some B-52 with nuke cruisemissles but they could only nuke land targets. They were very effective as jammers! I think I spawned B-52s from 1997 which means their jammers are 20 years ahead of all the radars in the 1980s setup (I tried to keep everything in the right era).


After that I tried to shoot down a satellite with F-15 ASAT! I hit it but it didn't blow up. But I DID hit it! [:D][:D][:D]



Edit: Everything is being uploaded to youtube currently.

[RoryAndersonCDT]

Hey everyone. I've set up a website to recap youtube videos and schedule future live streams.

I'm also going to build some Command documentation on the site. Hope you enjoy.

New video from the stream on Saturday:
[*]Episode 2 Part 4 Shoot That Sat
I used F-15 Eagles armed with ASM-135 ASAT anti-satellite multi-stage missiles to shoot down an orbiting Soviet spy satellite.

Thanks for the keyboard shortcuts on the site. Keep up the good work e.g. Make a HD custom layer of the whole world for download [:D]

Look forward to catching up on the streams I missed. What is the screenshot on the background of your webpage Baloogan?

A scenario you can build in about ~4 minutes by importing the installations from the CentFront entry.

I've posted episode 2 to youtube.
