That's right, a new version of CMMOS and a boat load of mods have just landed at CH:HQ There's ton's of stuff, covering a very diverse set of mods, so be sure to check all the different sub-sections. There's even a few updated and new CMBO German vehicle mods. Also, an important note: Due to circumstances in real-life I have to offer this release of CMMOS "AS-IS", and can offer no support for it. Hopefully, anyone who has any issues with CMMOS will be able to find help from the many "old hands" that can be found on this forum. I regret this situation, but I have to put the needs of my family before the needs of my hobby. I wish the users of CMMOS, and the modders who create CMMOS compatible mods the best of luck and enjoyment from CMMOS. Gordon

Please e-mail a copy of the files "CMMOSLog.txt" and "CMMOS.ini" from your CMMOS install folder to "gordonemolek@poboxes.com" and we'll get things straightened out. Gordon

RGL12 hits an overhead smash ... This is for the category of mods covering the Russian infantry and vehicle crew uniforms. So, Ekipirovka could also apply. Gordon

White Phosphorus lobs one into the back of the court, will RGL12 volley? Gordon

RGL12, Ok, so "Pekhota forma"? None of that modifier after the object stuff? Thanks, Gordon

Ok, now I need to know the Russian for "Infantry" and/or "Infantry Uniforms" for CMMOS. Thanks, Gordon

Ok, you know the drill. I need a title for the CMMOS "Russian Uniforms" rule-set. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to these little language lessons in the past. Gordon

MrNoobie, That error usually occurs when there is a disconnect between the CMMOS rule (configuration files for the icon that CMMOS displays) and the CMMOS configuration files that define the different groups of BMPs. These sorts of "bugs" are usually found in CMMOS/mod testing, but sometimes slip through. Which versions of CMMOS, and Juju's small arms mod do you have? Also, if you can e-mail me (gordonemolek@poboxes.com) a copy of the file "CMMOSLog.txt" from your CMMOS install folder after you've encountered the error in CMMOS and then exited CMMOS, it will help me isolate the problem. Thanks, Gordon

Thanks for the camo references, I must have missed the update. Gordon

Lou2000, Very cool site, I've bookmarked it. Unfortunately, Uncle Frost has already been rejected. So, we have "Zimnee bezmolvie", going three times ... Gordon

The rule-set in question is strictly for Winter terrain mods, so no Valenki. There are other rule-sets dealing with uniforms. Gordon

Ok, So now "Zimnee bezmolvie" has moved to the top of the bidding. Going once, going twice ... Gordon

Ok, to clarify what we're looking for, in CMMOS for CMBO we have a category of mods called "Winter Wonderland", which covers the various winter terrain mods that are available. What I'm looking for is a phrase to use as the name of the comparable category of mods for CMMOS for CMBB. "Matushka zima" sounds like a possiblity. My initial reference to "General Winter" was that I thought there was a common reference to Winter being one of the Soviet's biggest advantages. So, do we have any suggestions better than "Matushka zima" or "Sobachiy Kholod"? Thanks very much, Gordon

General in Russian is Генерал, General (with a hard g). Winter is Зима, Zima; Frost is Мороз, Moroz; Mud is Грязь, Gryaz'. My dictionaries don;t show any actual collocations such as "General Mud", though. A title I rather care for would be Собачий Холод, Sobachiy Kholod, translated roughly as "The bloody (lit. "bitching") cold", which was the title of a humorous short story by Ilf' and Petrov written before or during the Great Patriotic war. All the best, John.</font>

Would a *bump* by any other name serve so well?

Canon, Yes, the KV-1S looks realistic and distinctive from your German style, so I would recommend you continue in that style for the Russians. JMO, of course. Gordon

*bump*

Canon, Love the whitewash effect, but personally, I'd prefer if you could come up with something different for the Soviets so that there's more distinction between Axis and Allied vehicles. JMO, Gordon

Wasn't there a common phrase in Russian that referred to "General Winter" as their most important commander? Or was it his brother "General Mud"? If not that, I need a good Russian phrase that evokes Winter for use with CMMOS. Thanks in advance. Gordon

Gautrek, You're really getting the dirty/dusty effect down good. You make an old man proud. bab, Just curious, what made you mad about "the original camo of Hungarian vehicles"? This appears to be the stock game graphics with dirt added. Gordon

Ok, first question, and this may seem obvious, but I've had several people fall prey to this ... Does the game you are playing have ground snow? If you applied the whitewashed mods for the grey German vehicles is the date of the game correct for grey German vehicles to be used? If these aren't the problems, please run CMMOS, apply the winter camouflage option as before and then exit CMMOS and e-mail me (gordonemolek@poboxes.com) a copy of the files "CMMOSLog.txt" and "CMMOS.ini" from your CMMOS install folder and I'll take a look. Thanks, Gordon

Nah, they just fart around with jerry cans all the time. Gordon

Sorry, must have missed this the first time. It's in progress, but there's a lot to be done. Gordon

Unfortunately, there are no current plan to issue those vehicles in the whitewash scheme due (as I state in the documentation) their high contrast camouflage and/or zimmerit). The combination of those 2 factors makes it difficult to impossible to apply the whitewash technique I used on the other vehicles. I'm sure that eventually one of the "young turk" modders will get to them. Gordon

Nope, CMBB handles the time-specific textures automatically. Gordon
