Dey, need to talk with you. I checked you PzKwIV for CMBO and it is missing some files. Can you email me at miket6065@sbcglobal.net MikeT

Just did a count, came out to 637 all totaled. MikeT

Ryan, you can get CMMOS4.05a at CM Mod Database. Check under MikeT as the designer. Now the various mods are under CMMOS for the game. So far I have not posted any CMBB mods for CMMOS, but I guess I should. I have several hundred if memory serves. MikeT

J2D, I wouldn't install 4.03 over 4.05, the program exe file would be replaced and you would loose support for CMAK. On moving things around in CM Mod Database, right now Todd has too many things to think about. I am thinking about working up some CMAK mods but uploaded them under a CMMOS-CMAK name. Wasn't my original plan but I realize now that it is a bit cumbersome. I should have planned things out better but now it is too late to change. MikeT

Oh, I discovered a long time ago that Japanzer is a class act. He worked up so much for the CMBO Pacific mod a vast amount without any request by me. He had some great ideas that I just wish I had. MikeT

BB, all the CMMOS mods, and I just added CMMOS versions of Dey's and Mahon72's latest, are available at CM Mod Database. Look for the CMMOS designer. You can find both CMBO and CMAK mods there. MikeT

Some time ago I found a British Sherman camo design that I would love to see in the game. So I am hoping that some kind modder might take the challenge on and give this a try. It is a Sherman III with what might be described as a sand with rock patterns over it. The link is http://www.track-link.net/gallery/986 MikeT

After conferring with Tarkus on his inteface mod we jointly created a new version of his mod. There is a new bmp in the German orders menu and an expanded rule. If you wish to change the menu yourself and have no need for the German bmp here is what to do: Open CMMOS/CMBO/RuleSet501 folder. Find "Rule501-351.txt" and open it. You will find this: #! Version 1.0 #! Name Tarkus Interface and Orders Mod #! Files Interface.txt #! Icon Tarkus501-351.bmp #! Key 420_inter_de.bmp #! Options 4 ## Pick which language #@ English _inter_eng #@ French _inter_fr #@ German _inter_de This must be changed to: #! Version 1.0 #! Name Tarkus Interface and Orders Mod #! Files Interface.txt #! Icon Tarkus501-351.bmp #! Key 420_inter_de.bmp #! Options 12 ## Load both interface and orders menu #@ English interface and orders menu _inter_eng _order_eng #@ Menu français d'interface et d'ordres _inter_fr _order_fr #@ Deutsches Schnittstelle und Aufträge Menü _inter_de _order_de ## Load only interface menu #@ English interface menu _inter_eng #@ Interface française seulement _inter_fr #@ Nur deutsches Schnittstelle Menü _inter_de ## Load only orders menu #@ English orders menu _order_eng #@ Menu d'ordres français seulement _order_fr #@ Deutscher bestellt nur Menü _order_de Now just exit and save and your are done, very easy.

I have just posted the last of the mods I have for CMMOS/CMBO. That is everything I have. I hope you enjoy and good gaming. MikeT

yep, tomorrow I will get back. I have taken over some new duties at work and to be honest at the end of the day I am just wasted. Let me recup and tomorrow I will address this. Sorry about the delay. Mike

Well, I just finished the last of the terrain mods for CMMOS/CMBO. I have a few final mods left to check out just to make sure they work as desired but I am within about 16 megs worth of mods to being finished with a project I started over a year ago. The complete CMMOS for CMBO, every mod I can find for CMBO is not in CMMOS. At least I hope so MikeT

Welcome aboard the group. You probably won't really need the manual. The game is very intuitive and nearly all commands are mouse driven. If you are windows comfortable you can easily follow you nose, start a battle, and be commanding troops quickly. Give it a try. I don't think I ever cracked open the manual myself. MikeT

About OD instead of some desert camo for US Army vehicles, the US Army did not seem to have a desert camo pattern, officially. I found a pic of a Sherman with a cross-hatched mud pattern on it, literally mud on the hull. Otherwise the vehicles were OD, standard US issue. Brits were different. MikeT

jeffsmith, you know what I would do about the bottle opener comment?? Contact the forum at http://www.track-link.net/ and ask those moddelers. Those guys have resources others just don't. MikeT

I hadn't really thought of what to do beyond the revamp release. I do have all my existing CMBB CMMOS mods still, some 500+, many of which have never been seen. I even still have plans for a Grossdeutschland mod which adds unit markings to selected CMBB stock vehicle bmps. However, I don't know if people prefer to have all existing CMAK mods converted to CMMOS or not. Do people prefer the MCMMM instead? Good question. Any guidance, what do you want to see next?? MikeT

I just uploaded several grass terrain mods for CMMOS to CM Mod Database. I and very close to having everything uploaded now for the CMMOS/CMBO revamp. I have Aszurom's and Gunnergoz's grassy terrain left (11 total mods) and a then around 13 more mods that I converted later on, some are CMBB or CMAk mods that I adapted. Enjoy MikeT

beholders. 4.05 uses install-shield to auto-install. Some people have had problems with it however, maybe 3 out of 200+. If so just downloaded 4.03 from combatmission.com and I can email you the files to manually load the necessary files and create the needed Windows folders. Very simple to do really. You can contact me at miket6065@sbcglobal.net with any questions or problems. MikeT

I just uploaded to CM Mod Database the terrain mods, except the grass mods, for CMMOS/CMBO. MikeT

I just finished uploaded all my winter mods for CMMOS/CMBO. MikeT

I just finished uploading two rulesets worth of mods. Buildings and road/track have been uploaded to CM Mod Database. I will do the winter wonderland tomorrow and since I have a four day weekend, woohoo!!, I will do the massive field and stream then. Several of the files are rather large, the horizon mod for instance. MikeT

I just finished uploaded all the music mods for the HILLS ARE ALIVE ruleset. These change the intro music. They are in MP3 format and must be changed to wav to function. There is a converter already uploaded for your use if you need it. MikeT

I have finally completed uploading the entire group of German vehicles, summer and winter, to CM Mod Database. I also uploaded some other files. Hard to explain what they do but they can be used to change flags and victory flags. These have never seen the light of day before, Gordon didn't finish them. Next weekend I will start on terrain. MikeT

Goto CMBO downloads, search by designer in this case: MikeT then look under other, you will find CMBO CMMOS RuleSets zipped file. Install ALL THE RULESETS you find there MikeT

I just uploaded all the winter snow German vehicle mods I have left to CM Mod Database. MikeT

Oh it is coming as is the winter wonderland, road and track, plus buildings. I also have the music files, The Hills Are Alive, that I might post as well. This will allow you to change the intro music. Like the vehicles I have every terrain mod done, so getting them all posted will take a few weekends. I think I am close with the other mods, I have some German vehicles left to do this weekend and then next weekend I will start on the terrain. MikeT
