Links to forum modder resource threads, tutorials


Recommended Posts

I want to try my hand at a simple mod to create desert uniforms for Italian troops so I can make some Tunisia scenarios. So I have done searches but haven't hit pay dirt most of the time. Therefore I wanted to create a thread where we can paste links to the best of the other threads even in other title's forums.

I hope this is not somehow redundant.

A. This is a link to a CMBN thread which shows how to post screenshots.

http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=97288

B. This is a link to a great CMSF forum thread on AI plans

http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=82396

C. This is Webwing's modding video tutorial thread, also in CMSF

http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=82726

D. I do not know if Webwing he ever made a plain tutorial where he showed how to take existing uniforms and slightly mod them, all the part C link tutorials were apparently more complex, "from scratch" approaches.

I will edit it in if someone wants to PM me the link.

There also might be a pdf file which shows how to do this, by MikeyD, I tried to e-mail him for the link but no response yet.

If either of you, or anyone else reading this thread, wants to try my WIP Tunisia map/scenario and modpack, just PM me. It's done but I'm just finishing the second half of a playtest of the El Guettar battle. The terrain is usable for anything in Tunisia, circa winter/spring 1943. So you can just cut it up, re-work the elevations and tweak the terrain tiles as you like to get some good starting terrain for North Africa. (If you want it to be in Egypt or Libya, just add more sand and rocks and get rid of the green grass.)

Long ago I had tried Theater of War and remember a video tutorial ( pretty sure it was also webwing) where it walked you through how to make beautiful arrows for the briefing map. The nice blue or red arrows that have a crisp darker outline, a lighter interior and then the magic wand tool makes them transparent at the base. Also I think it showed how to make old style board game counters. I am trying to track it down and post the link here.
