Steppenwulf's Modded Flavour Objects for SF2

I prefer the first one seem to be more real appropriate color for the desert ! (Farbe sieht besser aus) !

I've seen pics of the temperate colour in use in arid region (perhaps Afghan?), though I agree for use of these objects in SF2, the desert shade is the most appropriate.

On a similar note, I've also seen pics of Ukranian forces using Hesco barrriers very recently ... so perhaps the temperate texture version can go in the Black Sea flavour package?! US forces would feasibly have shipped them into Ukraine, even in Black Sea's fictional politico-military context?!

This is what I was thinking the grey-sand colour for the desert mode and the "ocher green" for the "European Russian" landscapes !!

Scenario designers will use both the desert and temperate mod in both game titles.  One of the interesting things about third party scenarios is the ability to leave the official story line.  In this way we get cool scenarios set in different countries, on different continents and in slightly different time periods. 

What might be useful is if a base mod Heco barrier was placed in an open flavor object slot (say the desert one).  Then a tagged temperate Hesco barrier was made that could replace the desert Hesco barrier when the tag was used.  Or something like that....

Thanks for all your hard work on this.  :)

 One flavor item we got in CMSF that I wish worked better are the concrete road barriers. What I think I’ll end up looking for is a mod that makes a low wall look like a concrete barrier so it functions better and then use the flavor object barrier just to add some variability in placement.

Concrete barriers are only in Black Sea right? Is this what you mean because they can be added no problem if it's felt that they have a place in the Syrian theatre? 

What sort of concrete barrier are you referring to though?

In the first pic below is the stock barrier in Black Sea, 2 & 3 flavour objects in my pack are simple length extensions of the barrier (for use as highway central res), 4 is planned to be included as a military style road barrier (these are perhaps limited to Russia/Ukraine theatre?, I've not seen any pics of them elsewhere, but could be wrong!)

And 2, 3 & 4....

Yes I agree, definitely the way to go with this and one small option problem solved!

Nice work but, Hescos are filled with sand, rocks and dirt generally so to make your models more realistic I would change the colour of the tops of your Hesco models to a colour that best reflects those materials.

Unfortunately there are no bump textures for flavour objects, which without, will not provide the desired effect.

I think we have had a step change in environmental and vehicle modelling, which is down to @sbobovyc and @Aquila-CM 🙂 but I think it is important to have solidity to these flavour objects, particularly like  roadblocks and Hesco bastions; if they offer no cover they will not work - we can accept this in a roadsign or wrecked car, but not in something more substantial.  I noted the idea of using invisible objects inside the barriers for this, but I haven't tried it myself yet. Go Fort Hesco!   I am sure John Carpenter will want to make a film about it...

no they are in CMSF 2 as well. They are item 3 under the air conditioners

I think that may be with @Pete Wenman's Black Sea to Shock Force 2 flavor object transfer mod.  Where he took objects from Black Sea and added them to some of the empty slots in CMSF2.  Vanilla CMSF2 only has Aircon slots #1 & #2 filled.  IIRC Aircon #3 through #9 were added by Pete.  So Aircon #3 is a concrete barrier if you have Pete's BS to SF2 flavor objects.  I think he transferred 30+ flavor objects from BS to SF2.  And, of course, all the cool kids have it.  :D

Nice signs.  Don't forget to weather dirt em up - bullet holes etc.  Can they be made bent out of shape?

Weathering and bullet-holes are easy - that's  just painting on the .bmp. I did try to bend a stovepipe, but it didn't work out well, but I suspect now it is a solvable problem.

That's good.  When I was in the ME (and frankly in many rural parts of the US) road signs do not enjoy a happy life and are very abused, shot up, scratched and dirty.
