kipanderson Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 Hi, just downloaded the clipboard. Looks great, not nearly so "harsh" as the original. Goes far better with the latest terrain mods. Thanks for the effort. All the best, Kip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Michael emrys Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 Looks nice and I think I want it. But one question: Is this going to work on my Mac or is this another of those PC-only dingles? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randl Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Great piece of work Deanco! It looks right good there on my screen. So good....that I had to drag myself up off the lurkers bench just to tell you so. Welllp...that's enough, back on the bench I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesreidau Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Deanco, I`ve been using your interface mods since they became available and have gradually moved along as they were replaced and improved. This is just the icing on the cake! Superb work there mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinCheng+ Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Wow! Must get it asap. I suggest BTS should take serious considerations in licensing your mod as their future standard UI.

Bruno Weiss Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Hey hey, I started using this. Deanco, me hats off to ya, (well helmut anyway). This is outstanding my good man. It totally changes the flavor of the on screen commands. The originals were okay, but "looked" like a game interface would be expected to look I guess. Never really thought about it much till now. But the clipboard idea was great.

lcm1947 Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 I just now downloaded the new clipboard interface. Now that's nice. Congrats you have done an excellent job.

PawBroon Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 I had been wondering this for months.

DEF BUNGIS Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 I'm using the gun metal interface too. It's great. The new clip board orders menu really adds a nice touch to it.

kump Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 Deanco, count me in the praise crowd. Extraordinary doesn't say enough. It goes well with DD terrain, winter terrain, everything. Very good color, and the text is superb. Thanks for improving the game once again.

deanco Posted February 25, 2001 Author Share Posted February 25, 2001 OK Y'all... from the bottom of my heart, thanks. I certainly wasn't expecting this, Y'all are really too kind. I wasn't that convincd myself... Can I just say that the tank and terrain modders that have checked in here are the REAL mod artists. These folks...well, it just boggles the mind. How they are able to look at those flat bmp's and envision what their work is gonna look like in the game is just beyond me. Me, I'm just a guy who one day thought that the C&C indicator was too dim, and happened to have a copy of Photoshop. Having said that, I'm gonna finish with my 'raison d'etre' here. Combat Mission is a great game, a classic, an earthshaker. And as such, it deserves the best of everything. The best graphics, the best tank models, the best interface, the best terrain... from the intro movie to the final screen, CM deserves the best of everything, because it's a great game. That's my profound belief. So if I can do my part here to help give it the best of everything, then everything is cool. If anyone is interested I have expanded on my original Designer's Notes on the CLIPBOARD page. It's a little bit like "Clipboard - The Making Of" as I try to explain about the design issues I faced making this mod. It's there if you want to read it. Finally...I have more surprises in store! Stay tuned! ------------------ DeanCo-- CM interface mods: http://mapage.cybercable.fr/deanco/ so many games...so little time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Space Thing Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 Great work Dean. You really add a lot to CM with your mods. I especially like the gun metal mod. AND yet, I have to say that I prefer the menu as it is. I find it easier to read than the clipboard version. Thanks for all of the hard work. I'm keeping an eye out for your next artistic expression.

Hamstersss Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 Dean, you're talking about making the menu less intrusive, can't you make it just the orders, no background at all (That pink see-through color for the background would make it transparent, right?) ------------------ Fionn has his rule of 76, I have mine.

ParaBellum Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 Thx Deanco, great job. Your clipboard fits just perfect into the game. After all those beautiful mods for tanks and terrain I more and more thought of the original one as a bit out of date... Thx to all the mod artists, CM is STILL getting better and better. ------------------ Klotzen, nicht kleckern! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanco Posted February 25, 2001 Author Share Posted February 25, 2001 Space Thing, You're absolutely right. The readability was a tradeoff thing. By making it more unified I lost some of the readability, and I'm well aware of that. I have a nice Ariel however I think back here in the back room...cough cough...yep, here it is. Readable as all get out. I could run you off a copy I guess, or put it up on the site if there's a real demand for it. Elijah, I tried that. That woulda been so cool to have the letters just floating there. It didn't work though, or maybe I didn't do it right. The menu IS slightly transparent in the game and that's what made me think it could happen. But no, alas. ------------------ DeanCo-- CM interface mods: http://mapage.cybercable.fr/deanco/ so many games...so little time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
