  1. Feel free to put mine up, or I still have them & can upload 'em myself if that's easier for you. Good work. strt
  2. Anyone that's done much Modding using lighting effects has probably noticed that the eye's perception of Color & Shade is affected by the Colors & Shades that surround it. But this is kind of MindBogglin. Colo(u)r & Shade Stuff strt
  3. ATF I've been making copies of White layers & putting them underneath as ColorDodge layers. 1to1 up to 2to1 (W to CD) for smaller hilights. It lets you get more Contrast without things getting 'Glarey'. It's really worth fooling around with if you haven't already. strt
  4. I'll see what I can do. RL is about to demand a lot of my time, & more importantly, my attention (ie:obsessiveness). I like the BAs myself so there's no motivation. They look like Marco's work to me, & his stuff has a quality inGame I kinda like better than my stuff. I tend to pick on things KwazyDog had to knock out by the dozen 'cause there was no time & no one else to do it. I just have to spend about a gazillion hours on it & I look like a Genius. strt
  5. (Update #6 & Final) Uncle Tgt & I seem to be on the same schedule. The Finnish BT-7m37 & the BT-42.They share one Model & set of Textures, so it's either/or. & because the Model is really an m35 the BT-42 option 'implies' the unit more than it actually looks like it. Late & Early style Colors & Markings, Summer & Winter. Includes options for no #s, & no Tactical Markings. The three-color Camo (Finn_late) began being used in the Spring of'43. The blue Tac Markings (Finn_early) would mainly be from the '39-'40 Winter War, & the black Tac Markings began appearing in Summer '41. That's everything. As of 10:30 AM EDT I'm under the impression these are all OK. Here or mchlstrt@hotmail.com if somebody finds a problem. strt
  6. I agree w/ kipanderson's point about the range of Mods being a concern, & I'm a Modder. Having said that, the Modding, Scenario Design, etc. parts of this Community are very important in making it what it is. While that may not directly translate directly into big numbers for sales, it's an important 'Street Cred' factor. A direct effect of that indirect effect (!?) is me buying 4 copies of various CM iterations as gifts, & causing at least 5 more to be bought by others, leading to at least 3 people who are impressed enough to report 'passing it on' to still more folks. Plus whatever unreported effects my preaching has had. I'm sure I'm not unique in this. Having good 'Word of Mouth' happening for you is becoming rarer & thereby more valuable in the current Marketing climate, & it would seem BF should do their best to protect & encourage it. They've carved out a nice 'Quality' niche for themselves. They still have to make choices & compromises, but if they do it right they get to not do hack work, which is enviable. As to the 'Money Grubbing' side of these calculations, they should please make sure they grub enough to keep doing this. IMO,FWIW,etc. strt
  7. Being on a Mac, I've been known to take Gordon's CMMOS Mods & 'apply' the smaller Option .BMPs to the full ones to get the alternatives I really want. Helps me not feel so left out. strt
  8. I've got some KT Tracks Gordon let me use back in 'BO. I have no idea if they're apprpriate, actually. His new BB KT Mod has new versions on it, if so. & I like where that Tiger's going, ATF. strt
  9. Thanks for the good words. I think this is a great community & I'm very happy to be part of it. When I did a 'test download' I got an empty .ZIP for the m37-7M. The .ZIP I uploaded is good, & I think it was just a byproduct of the 'Great KingTiger Rush'. I'll try it again later & fix it if it's really broke. UPDATE: OK as of 2:57 EDT. CMMods is really working hard tonight, at least it looks that way where I'm at. strt [ May 26, 2005, 11:59 PM: Message edited by: mchlstrt ]
  10. Just got back in touch after a bit & CMMods is back up. Best of thoughts to COG & his wife. I've done Mods for all the BT-5s & BT-7s in CMBB (the BT-2 is a lot more work for one unit, & besides, the original is Good). They're a bit lower Contrast & Color Saturation than my T-26s. Any feedback is welcome. By fooling with some of my Background Layers I found I could also do a sort of 'Worn Whitewash'. May be too ragged looking but I figured it was something different, & other folks are doing good 'regular' WhiteWash. I've posted the Romanian BT-7m37 (the Model is an m35), summer & winter, at CMMods. The only things left to do are finishing a 'hack' for the Finnish BT-42, which shares one Model & set of Textures with the Finnish BT-7m37, & doing some 'paperwork' to get everything ready for posting. They should all be up over the next few days. (update#1) I put up the Soviet BT-7s for summer. The BT-7A, BT-7m35, & the BT-7m37. The Soviet BT-7m37 & the BT-7m39 share one Model & set of Textures, the m39 adding an MG to the Turret Rear. The 'BT-7m39' Folder contains a Turret Rear .BMP that has a mount for this MG. & m39. (Update#2) Soviet BT-7s in Winter whiteWash. Options for Red Tactical Markings & Air Recognition, & Black Tactical Markings with 'unWhiteWashed' Air Recognition. (Update #3) Soviet BT-5s for summer. The BT-5A, BT-5m33, & the BT-5m34. The m33 & m34 each have two different styles of Tac Markings. Update #4) Soviet BT-5s in Winter WhiteWash. Options for Red Tactical Markings & Air Recognition, & Black Tactical Markings with 'unWhiteWashed' Air Recognition. (Update #5) The Finnish BT-5m34. Late & Early style Colors & Markings, Summer & Winter. Includes options for no #s, & no Tactical Markings. The three-color Camo (Finn_late) began being used in the Spring of'43. The blue Tac Markings would mainly be from the '39-'40 Winter War, & the black Tac Markings began appearing in Summer '41. I see Uncle Tgt has put up a Finn BA20 in Early Colors, so maybe some folks are actually using my Early Finn stuff.I hoped re-numbering the .BMPs would cause them to 'swap out' like the German Units, but this doesn't seem to be the case. (Update #6) The Finnish BT-7m37 & the BT-42 in late Camo. Can't fit more Pics. I'll stick it at the bottom of the Thread. OK then, that's the whole batch. strt [ May 30, 2005, 07:30 AM: Message edited by: mchlstrt ]
  11. When I started Modding for BO I was making Mods very dark, & I'm on a Mac, which means they were coming out even darker on Windows. I shifted the Gamma & posted them at CMMods. I believe the old versions are there under CMMOS. There is a JagdTiger, a summer/winter Pzr Uni, a summer/winter VolkSturm Uni, & a Face Mod. Here's the JT. This is the 'lighter' version. Yikes. If anyone tries these that is familiar with the old ones I'd be interested in knowing if/how much this helps. Thanks, strt
  12. Nice work. I really like the splotchy effect on the T-34. Is that a certain technique or is it more about the underlying Mod? strt
  13. I'm liking it. The weathering pulls it together nicely, & the worn edges are giving it just enough of a 'broken in' feel. Post more Pics when & if you're inclined, I'm always interested in seeing how you're going about things. I like your Moddin'. strt
