    Your (CMMOS) ship has come in!

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    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.

    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.

    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

    Yet another Russian language lesson

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    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

    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"? smile.gif

    If not that, I need a good Russian phrase that evokes Winter for use with CMMOS.

    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,

    CMMOS Problems

    Yea I know there is a CMMOS thread but it didn't help. The problem is, that I can't get the winter camoflauge work.

    I downloaded the zips to C:\CMBB\CMMOS Mods\ and CMMOS is installed to C:\CMBB\CMMOS\-folder. Then I started CMMOS-program and installed rule-sets which worked fine and installed mods and they are in mods directory shown.

    Only thing I don't understand is way to get these mods work in the game. I pressed Apply with Whitewashed and started CM:BB. Nothing happened.

    I understanded after all that you apply the mod with starting CM:BB and when the game has start pressing Alt+Tab and Applying the whitewash, saving the battle, loading the battle and that's it? Still doesn't work.

    Any ideas? I am dieing to get winter camoflauge to CM:BB. :mad:

    Thanks for answers!

    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

    Dear Mister Molek...

    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.

    CMMOS and winterized vehicles

Once you have downloaded the whitewashed versions will it also select the w/w yellows over they grey in the same manner or will you have to use CMMOS to apply the correct mod?

    Nope, CMBB handles the time-specific textures automatically.
