    Survivor: CMMOS - Now you get to vote!

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    Ok folks, here's your chance to determine whether or not CMMOS for CMAK survives or not. :D I've modified the CMMOS executable to accept CMAK along with CMBB and CMBO. However, CMMOS can't do it's magic without the necessary BMP and WAV file lists. Unfortunately, compiling these lists is one of the most mind-numbing aspects of putting out CMMOS. Our sap, I mean volunteer ;) MikeT has been suffering a bout of computer problems and may have been captured by terrorists.

    So, this is your chance to vote with your hearts and time. If you'd like to see CMMOS for CMAK, I need volunteers to compile the file list files (e.g., the summer trees consist of BMPs X, Y, Z, the US M10 consists of BMPs A, B, C,). Of course this needs to be done for all the vehicles, terrain, skies, interface components, sounds, etc., in short for anything and everything that folks want to be supported by CMMOS. If you're interested in helping out, please e-mail me at "gordonemolek@poboxes.com" and we'll see about divvying up the work.

    If not, well then I guess CMMOS will have been voted off the island. :rolleyes:

    CMMOS for CMAK on its way?

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    I have modified CMMOS to work with the CMAK executable. MikeT was going to work on creating all the file listings that CMMOS uses to apply mods properly. Unfortunately he has been beset by a series of computer problems that have delayed him from completing this task. Once that's done, he'll be bundling everything up and posting it for download.

    That's the VERY green camou color I need to match for my own 90% done from-scratch Valentine pack. These mods showed up in the nick of time. Might as well shoot for inter-mod consistency. :D

    Look for my Valentines soon, but DEFINITELY download Gordon's mods in the meantime.

    MikeyD,

    Thanks, if you'd like the original color I can send you a color chip. Might be more accurate than sampling the mod with all the dirt, etc. applied. Just send me an e-mail to "gordonemolek@poboxes.com".

    Okay Janet, we can wait. ;)

    Now that I'm finished verbally abusing you I've got to think up a new CMAK mod project for myself. You're taking all the 'cool' ones for yourself! :D

    Don't worry. I'm done for now. I've got to get my head back into the game for working on my from-scratch CMBB KT.

    Actually, an ultra-detailed Rolls Royce Armoured Car could be very nice if you were looking for suggestions. ;) A "road-warrior" vehicle if ever there was one.

    Y'know, If you persist in teasing us with little peeks like this we're going to have to start calling you 'Janet Jackson'! ;) :eek:

    Ooh, now that hurts. tongue.gif

    Actually, it all started when I mis-understood Oddball_E8's request for camo Shermans and previewed the Sherman II that I was working on. Then he corrected me and I had to work up the M10. Well, then I had to go and do the Sherman III (early), and then I thought I'd go finish the Crusader Mk II I'd been fiddling with. Then Gautrek has to ask for the 3-tone Grant and I had to stumble onto the picture of the camo Bishop ... :eek:

    Anyway, it's a good thing I retired from this sort of modding.

    Expect to see them available soon.

    Now that begs for the Gordon Makeover.

    Fernando said it all when he said that it looked like a U.S. Civil War Ironclad with wheels. smile.gif

    I'm not sure it needs a make-over. What's the matter, you don't like Mikey Mouse Ears camo? :D

    aka_tom_w and pcelt,

    They'll all (the M10, Sherman II, Sherman III (early), Crusader II and Grant) be available in the near future from CM:HQ. After they've been posted there, I'll also upload them to CMMODS.

    Kanonier Reichmann,

    My guess is that the AFV crews were more afraid of Allied aircraft than Axis AT weapons. :D They probably encountered the former on a more regular basis than the latter.

    Oddball_E8,

    Yes, but most combatans tended to reduce the size of national markings as time went on.

    By drat I want an unmuzzled barrel. I have still to decide wether I'm giving up on trying to display an early war 25pdr or give up on it and install this mod. Which is beautiful.

    All,

    You're welcome.

    WineCape,

    What a coincidence. :D I just finished off the last bottle of the batch you sent me. :rolleyes:

    Pookems,

    I'm glad that's what you're looking for. I'll see about getting them all finished up so that I can get back to my King Tiger.

    MikeyD,

    Yup, there were quite a few US camouflage schemes used in Italy, it should be lot's of fun.

    Siege,

    I've seen the white star on a blue circle used in Morocco, but I wasn't aware that the blue dot on a white star on a white circle was ever used in combat.

    Oddball_E8,

    Here's a first draft of an M10 of the 894th Tank Destroyer Battalion at Anzio:

    M10_Anzio_Preview.jpg

    Is this what you had in mind? smile.gif

    Also, here's an update on the desert Sherman II from 1st Armoured Division:

    ShermanII_Front.jpg

    I've started laying out the camouflage for the matching Sherman III (early), but no pictures yet.

    I guess it's a good thing I retired from modding, or I wouldn't be getting any sleep. :D

    Italian theater camouflage references requested

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    Ladies, Gentlemen and Grogs,

    See: Oddball_E8's request for Italian theater camouflaged Sherman mods. I am not familiar with any references for British use of camouflaged vehicles in Italy beyond Sicily and early into the campaign on the mainland.

    Beyond that, it appears plain Khaki/Bronze Green was the norm. The Kiwis employed a couple of different camouflage schemes, and the Americans used some camouflage early on as well. But, unfortunately, I have no references showing the British use of camouflage in Italy.

    Anyone out there with references?

    Thanks,

    Gordon

    so.... when are we going to be seeing these mods then?

    any chance of seeing anything like that in the more "green" colours?

    Well, a camouflaged Sherman is a camouflaged Sherman. :rolleyes: AFAIK, blue black on mid stone camouflage was used in Sicily, and in some cases onto the Italian mainland.

    I know that there were a couple of seemingly isolated uses of camouflage by US forces in Italy, and the Kiwis had a couple of different schemes in use, but I have no references showing other than blue black on mid stone camouflage on British AFVs early in the campaign.

    Of course, any references are always appreciated. smile.gif

    JMC's SS Tiger, midwar

    I have the latest issue of CMMOS. I followed the directions. I have the ruleset installed for the gelb as well as grau (just in case...) Panzers.

    I cannot get this Tiger mod to load - or even appear on the CMMOS. In the list of mods loaded, it shows up fine, and I get no error messages when "grabbing" it from my HD, but I get no "button" in CMMOS.

    What am I missing?

    TIA

    Please select your rule-set tab containing the Tiger mod, exit CMMOS and e-mail a copy of CMMOSLog.txt to "gordonemolek@poboxes.com" and I'll take a quick look at it.
