    Do you happen to still have the @Mord?

     

    Hey, I do have them! The one friggin' place I didn't look for them was in my actual A-Stan install because I forgot it was there. This is what they look like:

    You will absolutely not insult me or hurt my ego if you don't want them after seeing the pic! They look like crap. I wish I had made a template back then though, I could fix them up real nice now.

    No. Sorry, I don't see them anywhere. But trust me, you don't want them. They are complete crap. They were the second portrait mod I ever made and absolutely horrible looking. They weren't even on par with the Normandy or FB portraits that are still on Greenasjade's. It's not being hard on myself either, they were objectively bad. LOL.

    Future of JuJu's UI Mod - Project Unification

    in CM2 Scenario and Mod Tips

    - Reducing the options for the "Yellow Weapon Slot" textures to just the red cross option. The many options JuJu provided over the years here is an absolute time sync to create each one by one for every weapon BF has modeled in WW2 era CM2. It's actually an enormous list now! I won't rule it out down the track to bringing some of them back or doing something new here. Vinnart has already had an interesting idea, but I want to get something out sooner rather than later.

    That works for me because it's the one I always use.

    JuJu's biggest design flaw, and trust me I know this one personally and painfully, was making all those options. And I think I can speak for him when I state; that we get so caught up in the creating, we want to have options on top of options for the players to enjoy. But somewhere down the road we have to update that sh** or make one for a new title! Then not only do we want to match what we did before (can't be less than!), we want to improve it, maybe add extra and lots of new dazzle and shine. Then when there's four titles (my case seven), and we're going on the third or fourth version of the mods, we sit back and whisper to ourselves..."My god, what have I done?" Followed by a soft cracking sound in our brain LMAO! The tragically ironic part is that 90% of all that extra effort won't ever get used by the players. It was and is, blood, sweat and tears for some phantom dragon that we are chasing.

    Moral of the story, Ithikial, save your sanity, less is more.

    And thanks for doing this.

    Where's Mord's Silhouette's??

    Thanks. It's gonna be a while. I still have to finish the Normandy portraits. That shouldn't be too much longer. I've been bouncing back and forth between modding FoG II Medieval and the various CM titles to keep me from completely burning out. But I'll get to Cold War eventually.

     

    Get yourself one of these. The price is right. No man should have to sacrifice one CM game for another! GIVE ME HARD DRIVE OR GIVE ME DEATH! LET LOOSE THE DOGS OF WAR!

    I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I don't make silhouettes. I could but there are enough guys that have had them covered over the years that I never bothered; JuJu, Marco Bergmen, Scipio, and Steppenwolf have all done them. My main focus has always been portraits.

    Mord's Mods: Shock Force 2 Edition

    in CM Shock Force 2 Maps and Mods

    Posted

    Ok. Finished these up for @GhostRider3/3.  Bunch of different sizes and locations for the Abrams and the Flatbed. Humvee has one size. Should be enough to make everyone happy. Didn't add them to any green or camo vehicles because I didn't think it would look right or realistic. Kinda like they were shipped over to Syria super fast before they could be converted to the desert colors.

    LOL. Yeah, the splash screen sucks but I didn't feel like selling it any harder. I hadn't planned on doing this so it's all off the cuff. Still took me 4 hours though! Anyway, hope they do the job.

    Weird thing about this mod file is that my system says it was created on February 21, 2016, and modified on August 6, 2014.

    So, Mord has access to a form of time travel.  

    LOL. Well, I didn't see that plot twist coming!

    I remember requesting it a few years back.  I hope it is still in circulation somewhere.

    LOW and BEHOLD! Guess what I found buried in a ZZZZZ folder in my old installation of SF1?

    Erwin's copy is correct. Not only is it 2014, the "date created" and "date modified" are switched around on mine too! Says I created it in 2017 and modified it in 2014. These are the only old mod files I have checked that do this. WTF? So, I guess my memory is complete crap. I would've never guessed I did these that late into SF1's life.

    Anyway, the version I have is for SF1, so I am gonna do a quick mod and switch them over to the SF2 BMPs. Seems I have a couple in there for Humvees as well. The only problem is you'll have to switch them out when you play Army scenarios or else all your tanks will sport a globe, anchor and palm.

    Stay tuned.

    If you right click on the file, go to details tab, and scroll down to date created that will give the actual day it was made. There are two dates listed under details, date created and date modified. The date that shows up in folder options is date modified as far as I can tell. LMAO! It's really not that big a deal but I am damned curious now. I guess more or less to see how bad my memory has become in 7 years (if I truly did it in 2014)! Seems like just yesterday and a 100 years ago.

    Well, I bought it.  I have an ongoing CW scenario I need to finish and then I will try out my first Shock Force game.  I have been rotating between BS and CW scenarios and now I need to insert SF into the rotation.

    Good stuff. New Wave/Synthi Pop is my time travel music. The best period was around 78-82 (with exceptions), before it got overly produced and derivative. When I think Cold War era or 80's, that's my soundscape.  I've spent the last decade researching bands and songs I may have missed from back then.
