mjkerner Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Thanks Ian, but I have always only used Best for all the options in all the games, except for choosing the less Tree Detail. I think I see what I did, though, and it was partly an illusion depending on viewing angle. Anyway, looks like I fixed things. If I hadn't decided to tackle the full uniforms last week in addition to the gear and helmets, I'd have some of these mods out the door by now. Sorry to those that are actually waiting for them. "Soon", as in the royal (BFC) soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Do I assume correctly there is not a separate uniform tag for the infantry and crews of the US Army and USMC? PS To clarify, I mean vehicle crews. Edited January 22, 2019 by Sequoia PS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Not sure I follow, Sequoia, but there are separate uniforms for US Army, USMC, and generic tanker uniforms (no distinction between Army and USMC). Hope that helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Yes that does help. I suppose I could have investigated that myself, but one more question and sorry if I'm being lazy and again not looking, but do the Marine LAV crews use tanker uniforms as well? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Army uses "smod_american_uniform_ucp-tanker" and Marines use "smod_american_uniform_tan-tanker". LAVs use the Marine tanker uni with tanker helmet Brads use the regular Army uni with a tanker helmet One more question like that and I am changing your screen name to Erwin.

Sequoia Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Interesting that the tank crews have rifles when they bail out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Thanks MC Stud Muffins (shouldn't that be singular?). This project started out small, just some simple gear and helmets, but it expanded and I find myself spending way too much time on it. So even though I'm not that happy with certain parts, I'm uploading it at CMMODs III, because I want to get on to other projects. I will certainly entertain all suggestions, changes, etc. I can always issue a version 2. I don't know how long it takes to get "Author" approval at CMMODs, plus I have about 7" of snow to shovel out of the driveway, so don't know exactly when it will be up. I hope they meet expectations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequoia Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 They more then meet expectations. I like to come to this thread to just look at the picture because they look so great. Is that geeky? As for requests, just wondering if there could be very much variation done on the vehicle crew uniforms? In my mind they'd be the last in line to receive Desert Marpat. As for the snow, just let it sit. It should all be gone by July anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vehicle crews (at least LAVs) don't share unis. He shouldn't be shoveling anything, he had heart surgery a year and a half ago! I'd kick him in his ass if my foot could reach.

mjkerner Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 pfffft, I eat quad bypasses for breakfast! I’ve been a workout-aholic for about 35 years, and I think if I hadn’t been such a dedicated smoker at the same time, I could have avoided the heart attacks (first was in ‘92). But, I quit smoking for good after the bypass, believe me! What with the workouts and, finally, dieting at the same time, I’m in my best shape ever. Which, considering I’m 65, that’s saying a lot, lol. Sequoia, if it wasn’t for you, I’d never have finally learned how to spell “sequoia”....plus, thanks for your enthusiasm! I had almost forgotten the tankers until you mentioned them. I already started on it yesterday, but it will be a quick woodland camo and that’ll be it. I owe Mord some Syrian stuff next, so have to get on it before he starts throwing heavy metal videos into this thread! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkerner Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Sequoia, I was thinking just some camo for Fighters and a little more uniformity...sort of, for the Combatants. Nothing too fancy, just variety. But they and the Syrian Army types are great bases for a kinds of other similar types around the world. SE Asia has its hot spots, and Africa remains its usual hotbed self, so plenty of fun mods in the future, I think. This isn’t meant to be as bloodthirsty as it may sound, it’s just that there are so many different types of uniforms and weapon combos possible to mod. For example, the Fighters are a near perfect base for certain Al-Shabaab units. Happy Birthday, Mord! Congratulations on making 50! Where does the time go, eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkerner Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Help, no one has replied to my email at CMMODs to become an author, so I can’t upload. It’s been over 24 hours, so I figured to hear from Martin/GaJ by now. Is Bootie around, I think he’s the liaison? edit: I messaged Bootie, so hopefully it will get sorted soon.

mjkerner Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 No, I haven't heard from either GaJ/Martin, or Bootie. I didn't realize that uploading to CMMODs could be problematic. Good news is, I took the time to review everything, and decided that some significant changes were needed, and made them. While you're waiting, here's the Readme for it: USMC Uniform Mods for Combat Mission Shock Force 2 This uniform mod offers some variety for the US Marines uniforms, helmets, and gear. They are contained in the following folders: USMC Digital Gear USMC OD Gear USMC Woodland Gear USMC Digital Helmets USMC OD Helmets USMC Woodland Helmets USMC Desert Uniform-OD Vest USMC Desert Uniform-Digital Vests USMC Desert Uniform-Woodland Vests USMC Digital Uniform-OD Vest USMC Digital Uniform-Tan Vest USMC Woodland Uniform-OD Vest USMC Woodland Uniform-Tan Vest USMC Woodland Uniform-Woodland Vest A couple of things.... 1. I refer to what is officially designated "Woodland Marpat" camouflage as "Digital" simply to differentiate it from the US Woodland (non-digital) pattern. 2. The USMC uniform texture files include the plate carriers/armor vests, making it impossible to have separate "vest" files. What I have done instead is to mod the game's original desert marpat uniform, my digital uniform, and my woodland uniform bmps so that they are "wearing" various types of vests...OD, digital, and woodland. Because it just looked too busy, I did not put digital vests on the woodland uniform, woodland vests on the digital uniforms, nor digital vests on the digital uniforms. BEWARE: Although the USMC uniforms and helmets in CMSF2 are distinctly separate textures, there are some items of gear that, as far as I can tell, use some of the textures used by the US Army pixeltruppen. (These have the tag "[brown]" added to their names in the game's texture files.) Because of this, using the Gear mods may cause US Army troops to have some gear show up in game in the modded version you are using. Much thanks to our very own Modding Metalhead Maniac Mord (a/k/a MC Stud Muffins) for his encouragement and original inspiration to start modding way back when, and to all the Forumites who also lent their encouragement and support for this mod. Cheers! mjk To install: Download and unzip the file, pick the folder(s) you want, and put it in the "Combat Mission/Shock Force 2/User Data/Mods folder (where you put all your other mods). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
