Blackhawk-2

Madmatt Wow that is a magnificent. That is a enormous summery and professionally organized to guide us through all the marvelous enhancements to our combat mission adventure. I would like to thank you and all who have contributed to all the great mods.

Another great day for the CM . These new mods are magnificent . Thank you KWAZYDOG and MADMATT for your continuous support. All your efforts are greatly appreciated.

I use Corel Photo- paint. Most good paint programs have a feature called a mask. The mask can be used two ways. By masking an area of your drawing you paint only where the mask is or you can set it to paint only outsade the mask. The mask feature has tools which can be used to pick just one color or all light colors or all dark colors. There are tool to help you out line any part of your painting. Once you have an area masked out you can change the color of that area to any color you like. The mask feature is very powerful. There are also effect tool which will pick out all the lines in your picture given you just the outline of things in your picture. Hope this helps.

Your welcome! And thank you for the feedback. I got many good compliment on my velvet grass.

The file #'s for the grass textures are 1550 to 1569.

The 'BOGUS' flag is on the CM disk it is #447.

I love the concept. To be able to fight a long continuos battle, gaining and loseing ground as the situation unfolds is something no other war game has done. I look forword to this part of the game the most. But I am very disappointed with the actual impementation. I do not like the way the front line is determined. Several times I fight through several battles to gain a strategic position only to have it taken away because a couple of men got by my location and next battle I was pushed way back. Even if their was a major penetration of my position I would rather be cut off with no supplies and have to fight my way back or send in someone to rescue them. In all cases to men should be left where they are. In a real battle your men would not magically telaported to safety. One other thing I would like is when designing an operation, I like to be able to change the type of battle from battle to battle in the opreation. This would make for more different situations to develop as the operation proceeds and reinforcements are brought in on each side.

Some people are having trouble with the instructions "..replace textures 1550 to 1558 with 1550best1.2.." and how to install the new grass textures. I sent them this way to save download time. To install unzip to temp folder. Then do a Save As to c:CMCO\Bmp the CM texture folder. As you save rename the files. For example to install 1500best1.2 open the temp folder left click on the file and do a Save As. When the save window opens locate the CMCO folder then open the Bmp folder. Rename the file to 1500 and save. Click on the file again which is now named 1500 and do a Save As again. When the save window opens this time it will already be directed to the CMCO\Bmp folder so you just rename the file to the next number 1551 and save. Repeat this procedure until you save 9 times and the number is renamed to 1558. Do the same for the other two grass textures. Rename 1565best1.2 to 1559 on up to 1565. Rename 1569best1.2 to 1566 on up to 1569. As for the other new textures the just do a copy from the temp folder and paste to the CMCO\Bmp folder. I hope this helps.
