I have tried to get that CM manager to work but it does not and I have no way of linking the .exe with any mod I download. So, now I´m trying to do it by hand and change every single bmp file myself but I´m not even good at that. I´m trying to get the winter color to work but the bmp files have weird ending that even when erasing so as only to leave the number wont change anything at all..sometimes the Mod will give bmp numbers that do not even match anything that my Bmp game file has. The Q&A site is totally written so that I do not understand anything.. Is there some REAL dummies guide as to make this work? I´m not greedy..I just want to change the winter colors and some uniforms...well..and the dusty tracks and the dusty summer vehicles. HELP!!!!! I´m stupid

On the written anti-censor folder...I extracted it into the cm2 folder and nothing really happens..I can even start the game through this program but it still talls about WG units instead of Waffen SS. There is a further patch that corrects spelling errors..but why should I use that one if nothing has changed in the first Mod? About the winter colors...so unless I download the Mod manager I will have to go one by one adding the winter color scheme? Does this also applies to those all-covering dusty Mods?

Hi, Great site, I have the German censored version and have downloaded the politically incorrect one. Some questions though. I downloaded the Flag Mod but it gave me several flag options to choose with the bmp number and a letter at the end like 401a 401b, etc... The one I use the last is the one that is going to stay? I tried to download the written anti-censor for german and it says I should download it to the .exe file..where is that? I have put it on the main CMBB folder and it lets me start the game through it but nothing really changes..what am I doing wrong? I would like also to change the winter color for vehicles but the only thing I find is diferent color schemes for individual vehicles. is there a place that would change all of them at once? or most of them? Its a bit tiresome to go one by one all the soviet and german vehicles. Uniforms..where can I change those? any link?

Not to be pissy but IMHO its: Flak: Flug abwehr Kanone Pak: Panzer abwher Kanone

I have been checking out this CMMOS engine and the Mods available and have a little doubt. Like here: Winterfahrzeuge (Winter paint) You have two "Rule sets" that seem to cover everything but then you have under these a whole line of Winter Mods. Are the rule sets supposed to cover everything and the Mods under them be some special paints that overwrite the general Winter "Rule sets"? Why this diference? Why not include those Mods into this "Rule sets"?

McMMM??? As up today there is a winter and a summer version of the vehicle and as I understand the winter version was left out but the place created as to the community to Mod those winter equipment. Right? So, there is basically bmp spaces for winter and ones for the summer. This means that I can download and install everything I see something about winter with impunity since I´m basically not erasing anything there was previous and only on summer equipment would I have to save my initial bmp setup because just in this case would I be overwritting something, right? So, as I can see when there are ten diferent Mods about the T34 1943 Modell, the winter ones would be great beacause I have nothing in the first place and the summer one I have to save. Then I have to choose the perfect summer Mod because there is just one slot to be filled for T34 1943 Summer modell and every one I download erases the previous one. Right? Ufffff Smallarms there is just one bmp slot, right? or is there also a winter small arms bmp posibility to coexist with the summer set?

Golf grid??? :eek: As I can see there is a myriad of tiny Mods that seldom overwrite each other. There should be a detailled compendium of available Mods with screenshots of their end result and a short explanation to them. As I see now, for those who have not hanging around this forum for the last year most if not all of the mods are a trail and error question due to the few info available about them.

For the n00bs, how are we supposed to know what does each Mod mean? Is there a way of puting in some short description?

Since you say that winter camo is basically missing from the regular set up, in order to enjoy a snow scenario with such uniforms and tank paint you are basically saying that I would be erasing the normal "summer" paint bmp´s? So you would Mod your game "only" to play one scenario??? and then have to go through the hassle to change them yet again in order to play a summer scenario? If I get this correctly, if I download a bmp that gives a dusty apearance to my T34 tracks, what I´m basically doing is changing the whole T34 image not just that particular piece? So, I can´t have a particular camo sheme for my Pz-IV but have those cool looking dusty tracks on the same time unless someone makes a bmp with both things together?

By no means would I just change stuff for the sake of changing it..but from other Modable games I have enjoyed you tend to find that certain vehicles, uniforms, terrain, etc...just is not right for one reason or the other and that this particular Mod has been accepted as a "must" because its just better. So, from my experience there I would have thought that most ppl here tend to switch certain bmps, like the Nazi flag issue which I would think almost everybody does. So, no I´m not so eager at this time to change that Soviet Slogan shade on the left side of my T34. Please, someone on the Mod instalation issue of my last post on this thread? someone?

Thanks for the answer. Ok with the Scenario thing...now Mods should go into the bmp folder. Now, do I have to get a back up of my old bmp´s just so that I can revert to them if I do not like the new stuff? Cant I just reload the whole game if the Mod results are not to my taste? So, as soon as I take a Moded bmp into my Bmp folder it changes the old settings or do I have to erase the old material? Would there be not a conflict? How does a new Mod reeplace automatically the old generic one? There are just soooo many Mods...Is there not a "dream list" somewhere as to what would be the most optimal list nowadays? Or..can I download them all? Is there some limit in Mods?

Well, I tried to reverse the purchase yesterday but it was too late already. Anyways...since now I´m doomed to the "old version" let me ask you this: How do I download a scenario? do I send the download somehwere, do I have to unzip it first? I guess that once downloaded it has no further effect on the game, right? To play it, will I be able to choose this scenario from within the game or will I have to launch it from outside of the game? Mods...Same questions regarding how to install those. Download into a certain game folder or to the desktop and then "launch"? Are the effects of the different Mods cumulative or one erases the previous one? Do the official patches run into trouble with some Mods that might have been designed before the patch came out? And most importantly, is there some type of an "ideal" Mod mix out there that those more veteran would recomend? Like a Flag Mod, uniforms, vehicles, terrain, etc..I have been browsing through hose websites and it gets mindboggling with so many Mods dealing with the same issues (Like a gazillion Mods for Flags and simbols..which to use?). Please do not flame me now saying I should just read the forums making some search, etc...I´m a TOTAL n00b to these things of Mods and Scenarios and are pretty afraid of screwing it up and having a horrible first experience with this game.

Well, I could try but then where could I buy this Special edition game when it comes out? or even pre-order it.

This is so unfair...Nowhere on the main area of this website nor the purchase area is there any hint about this "Special Edition". I just spend $45 in buying me a copy through Amazon and obvioulsy its the "old" version of one CD and all the patches still to download and minus all the extra freebies. I feel so betrayed!

I ordered some hours ago this version: Amazon link Now it seems that stupid me while spending all that cash is going to get an old version when the new 2CD collectors Edition is comming out in one week. Now, whats really anoying is that this information anout this "special edition" game is nowhere to be found on the website unless you dive into the forum...How should I have known? I would have waited that week and bought the real upgraded deal. Is the loading of Mods easy? I feel already outdated without even having played a single game.
