    Temp place to download RealColors Mod

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Well, the problem with UseNet is that the propogation period for a file 250 megs is two days, and most servers these days wipe outposts after 24 to 48 hours.

    Another big stumbling block is that Usenet is not an easy thing to teach and some folks may not be versed on software/protocol and yadda yadda yadda of Usenet.

    No problems though as Chris Merchant has giving me on ok on the send and I am uploading to him right now at 1:30 am. So it just a few hours it should be up and when chris getst he page set, we will be good to go smile.gif

    FTP says 5 hours to go.. hehe

    RealColor Mod for CMBB Finished!

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    README:

    Title: RealColor Mod for CMBB

    Author: JD "Gunslinger" Wohlever

    Tools: Paint Shop Pro, UltraEdit

    Time: 43 hours

    Credits: Battlefront for original textures

    The person who first came up with the

    idea about removing tree tops - Please Contact me ASAP for credit!

    The person who first came up with

    the idea about thinning the command way points - Please contact me ASAP!

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    IMPORTANT NOTE TO MODDERS or ANYONE WHO ADDS MORE TEXTURES TO

    THERE GAME AFTER INSTALLING THIS MOD!! :

    Feel FREE to add to this mod. I ask one thing of mod makers,

    if you are going to make a new texture or anything, please

    use the following formula so that your add-ons can conform

    to this color scheme:

    In Paintshop Pro 7+ load the graphic to be modified.

    Paint away.

    Once your texture is done, go to :

    COLORS ---> ADJUST ---> HUE/SATURATION/LIGHTNESS

    Making sure the MASTER channel is selected change

    the SATURATION to -15 Next go to all PINK areas

    and modify them to RGB code of R:255 G:0 B:255

    If you follow this formula after making your textures

    and use it on ALL textures, your add-on will mix with

    this add-on perfect.

    Please make SURE you remember to change the PINK areas

    to 255,0,255 or your transparent areas will not be transparent.

    If you think that's too much work , try doing 5000+ files this way smile.gif

    It only takes you about 30 seconds per texture.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    What's in the mod? Or Why should I download 2++ megs???

    1) Modified 5100 files to adjust color saturation, luminance,

    and detail. Now all textures have a much more realistic look.

    2) Modified Targeting lines, way point lines, etc to take

    up less space on the screen.

    3) Removed overhead view tree-tops. If you are looking at

    the map from a straight down view, normally the tree tops block

    your view of items underneath the trees. This has been remedied.

    You will still see trees as normal when in any non top down view.

    To tell where trees are in top down view just look for the

    leaves at the tree bases.

    4) Modified Flags to be smaller as they looked way too huge and

    block view of some objects

    5) Re-adjusted size of some textures to improve quality and

    improve frame rates

    6) Modified Craters and Foxholes to appear non-facing.

    In other words, no in-correct light shadows on craters.

    7) Created Splash-Screen that goes with the war

    8) This mod conforms to German law as far as no Nazi Markings

    have been added that are prohibited in Germany. If you want German

    marking, you'll have to add them on your own as I did not want to

    ruin German folks from being able to use this mod.

    WHAT HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED?

    1) The GUI except for the SplashScreen as I know folks like making new GUI's ;)

    2) The Special Effects, Fire, Explosions, smoke. Look for an add-on pack coming soon!

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    To Install:

    Run the SETUP.EXE

    Extract to your CMBB\BMP folder.

    ALLOW it to overwrite

    If for some reason you do NOT like the mod, simply copy

    all the contents of the BMP folder on your CMBB CD.

    If you do not own the CMBB CD, do not bother asking me for help.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    BUGS, KNOWN ISSUES

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    None that I know of.

    If you find an object that has PINK around it, please make a note of

    what object it was, the season, weather, and so forth. Send me the info

    so I can make a small patch ASAP.

    However, I did test every single texture in and out of game

    and resolved all graphic issues I could find.

    COMING SOON (Possible)

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Fire, Explosion, Smoke Effects Add-on

    Pacific Warfare. <-- I need Battlefront's help with this one though for 3D models

    It is do-able right now, but will look goofy with German faces, vehicles and buildings.

    GUI Interface? <-- Not sure on this one, I like the default GUI

    Movie Recorder <-- Need Battlefront help to finish

    Modern Warfare - Battlefront's Help needed for 3D models and OOB
