Yeah, I get it, though I can't describe it real well myself but I spent many hours dicking with it so I pretty much understand what you are saying. Yeah, but nothing was ever changed in the files it was just a reskin of the original models. It could be redone with the new SF2 models though it'd be different. It's a gallant effort but they still aren't proper Muj models. No way to create the head wrap, beards etc. Oh, well it is what it is. I thought we might have finally found a solution to the conundrum. Mord.

Ah, yeah as good as any. But I'd err on the side of caution just in case. Either way it killed some tricks that worked well. I would love to see some Muj models in the game and it seems now that this new style is our only chance if it's even possible. I'd really like to see brand new models as the CMA ones were REALLY subpar even back then. Mord.

A long time ago. I always assumed they did it to stop people from swapping models between games. They completely changed the code in the files so that they don't point anywhere that can be found in the hex editor, at least with soldier models. You use to be able to trick the code by renaming a soldier model. EX: Syrian Soldier to Zyrian Soldier and then renaming bmps to Zyrian etc. You can't do it anymore. There is no "Syrian Soldier" etc. All Syrian military are under one file name. So if you change it they ALL change. Mord.

I second, third, and fourth that. HOLY F***! Mord.

@Sequoia This quite possibly could be the answer to the Muj question? Hey @Aquila_CM, can you figure a way to swap CMA Muj models for Combatants in SF2? Or better yet import a better model than was in CMA? Is it even possible to import completely different soldier models (theoretically at least?)? And all you players/scenario designers, I advise you to keep a copy of your 2.02 - 4.02 installers in a safe place because I guarantee that if BF shut down hex editing they are gonna come down even harder on this. Mord.

That's completely different than what I am talking about. The vehicles would load on the map minus crews, doors shut, engine off. They'd just be "parked" but susceptible to being shot and blown up. Mord.

The radar station gave me chills. These are just beyond words. The vids dropped my jaw on the floor. This is friggin' next level stuff. You have floored me. Mord.

HOLY MUTHER #$%^&# @#*^!!!! A SHIP?! A HELICOPTER?! UNREAL! INCREDIBLE! That's beyond anything I ever thought possible! GREAT WORK, man! I am blown away! Truly a massive evolution in mods! I am running out of exclamation points! Mord.

YOU are the man! Thanks. So, I'd do an Infantry portrait for the 11 AMB and 13 Light Brigade and an Armor and Heavy Infantry portrait each for the 43 Mech Brigade? Artillery I can't do, it's beyond the scope of the portraits. A cursory search also showed I may be able to do battalions for each brigade. It's looking like there are badges for each battalion. I'll have to look further after I get some sleep. Mord.

VERY close...but without some German and Dutch Brigades/whatever they use, I am at a stand still. If you have info read my posts above. The only thing stopping this MONSTER from being finished are my lack of German and Dutchy formations. Mord.

I don't know how versed you are on using Ebay but what I do when I want to research what something is going for is type the item in the Ebay search bar then when the results come up, scroll down and check Completed Listings (Left hand side). This will give you sold and unsold listings. I think you could make some decent money especially if you ship world wide and the rules are in English. Don't know if this link will show or not (but here's completed listing for just a "Squad Leader" search: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=squad+leader&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Complete=1 Tried to PM you but you don't accept them. Mord.

Great job, man. They look sweet. Mord.

When I was a young and wild Halftrack Gunner (something you wouldn't understand) kickin' it for the Fatherland in France, Poland and Russia, I would've gladly smacked some mortar shells around to show'em who was the Bossenhaffen. But I am older now, more refined, I stick to leg wrestlin' gators, knife fighting tiger sharks, and having my scrotorial hair removed with a chainsaw and pliers. You know, more mature pursuits. http://community.battlefront.com/profile/39872-mord/?tab=field_core_pfield_20 Mord.

I always try to be optimistic even when I am pessimistic. But it's just a logical deduction going by the past and stuff we have seen announced for newer titles. If they are gonna bother with something as obscure as Brazilians (or even dedicated Indian units) it makes sense that they wouldn't leave out something as popular (among East Front fans) as the Finns. Plus they've included them before. I wouldn't even be surprised to see the French added to BN (sometime down the road) after they are released for FI. But I am highly confident (like 95%) that the Finns will make a showing eventually. Mord.

BTW I wasn't advocating for a dedicated grenade command, just making a humorous observation on the pitfalls of tweakage. Mord.

Man, I'd be nervous as hell around old ordinance. I often wonder how many people get killed accidentally or purposely finding WWII stuff. I've seen some hairy situations on Youtube, guys digging up old grenades and such. Anyway, yes, bring back the bundles, they look cool! Mord.

Two long-haired, bearded, badass, lady-slaying, manly-mans. I can see why there'd be confusion. \m/ \m/ Mord.

From sand flea to mental hedge hog, I am moving up in the world! Or you're going all soft and sentimental on me. Just remember, the bunker perimeter is mined, you come a serenading and you are gonna lose a leg. Then again I do need crayfish bait. I'll leave the sheet music on the razor wire. I am partial to "The Way We Were". Bring your kazoo. Mord.

We are getting Indians and Brazilians in FI, so I have no doubts about seeing Finns in one (or more) of the titles. BF are East Front junkies. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Mord.

We already know what's gonna happen if they tweak it. The units will end up blowing their wad the first time a grenade throwing situation pops up. There'll be fifty threads complaining about it, arguing and calls for proof, and a year or two later it will finally get dialed back to where we pretty much started at. LOL. Sometimes "tweaks" are more work than a brand new feature. Mord.

In CMBO/BB etc. you'd hear smacking sounds and grunts and the units would jerk backwards simulating that the squads were engaged in hand-to-hand. In BN/FB etc. close combat is basically a lot of grenade chucking and point blank shooting. I'd love to see more action when it happens but BF's argument is that it won't look good if they can't program it so it's an actual 1vs1 representation on screen. In other words if a guy is swinging his rifle like a club and the enemy unit isn't right in front of him it won't look right. But then again we get dudes doing first aid in the wrong spot sometimes, wheels that don't roll on towed guns, guys not holding heavy machine guns when firing, dudes that disappear into thin air when shot on or in vehicles etc. So, I don't know if one more abstraction would be annoying or wouldn't matter to me. Mord.

Yeah, but I want to see the actual bundle being thrown. Now they chuck demo charges. Back in CM1 they showed the bundle. Splitting is always wise but there are actual dedicated Tank Hunter teams you can purchase too. WhiteWolf must've missed them. Mord.

Ha! Thanks. I had to hack that sh*t with a weed wacker. Last week I looked like a hedge hog gone mental. Strategic chopping and a few hair ties got the majority of the mess under control. It's amazing what your face can do when you let it run rampant for six months! Mord.

Thanks. New and updated as of a couple hours ago. Get that beard a bit longer and I am gonna braid it like a viking! Mord.

10-4 brother. One difference is the grenade bundle is missing, which I would very much like to see return! Breach explosives are fine and all, but nothing is quite as intimate and sexy as a bunch of strapped together potato mashers chucked onto an engine deck! Abstractions be damned bring back the potato bundle lovin'! Mord.
