    ....................Tiger! Mod released.

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    I proudly present to you,

    Tiger I Early. Built from Andrew TF's textures.

    Mind that I posted the mod in the CMAK department of CMMODS, even though it works for CMBB too. In fact, it should work pretty well for a Kursk setting. I have included a couple of markings-options covering Tiger Battalions participating in the battle for Kursk.

    Moreover, it´s appropriately dusty with a camo that isn´t too far from either the Italian or the Russian front.

    Tiger I Early

    A different question to the users of my mods-

    I have put together a Gurra specific ruleset in CMMOS and CMMOS mods for all my vehicles, containing advanced rules to simplify use of options, much like Gordon has done recently in coincidence with the release of his King Tiger mod. Would anyone be interested in that other than myself? For now, it´s CMAK only, but a CMBB version is probable to show up sooner or later. I have no idea as to how many here in the forum are using CMMOS.

    Regards

    ** More Tiger Mod Mania - Tiger early for Italy released! **

    Hi Andrew,

    I have started to play with your modders version, as one might have expected. But I have run into a small problem:

    This is the early version. In CMAK, does this reflect vehicles built early '43 until somewhere 3rd quarter of the same year? If so, it would mean I should not put any zimmerit on, right? If my memory serves me correct, zimmerit started to be applied in September '43. About the same time as the mid version started to appear(game-wise).

    Am I correct in this issue, or someone could please enlighten me?

    This is the end (Final Pz VIB mod posted)

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Looking forward to this release. Your Pz IVB's are a very fine job.

    Out of topic:

    Gordon, in a mail exchange with Philippe, he pointed out that you perhaps could help me out with an issue regarding sound mods for CMMOS. It was something about making the Ruleset look into the wav folder instead of the bmp one. Is that possible? In case it is possible, would you like to help me out?

    Regards

    The deal with the ever increasing flood of WW2 RTS games...

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    I always find it a bít exiting to check out any new tactical/strategic WW2 game -

    just recently I downloaded and installed the demo of something called 1944 - Battle of the Bulge.

    The graphical standard are pretty good overall nowadays, and I thought, maybe this could be a little gem coming from nowhere?

    I was sadly mistaken. What is it with the majority of tactical wargames? I mean, is it the designers perception of fun or is it based on a survey covering the mainstream of mainstram gamers:

    camera close to tank(fairly nicely done until you get close up - decieves you at the beginning)click on tank, click on ground ahead(max 50 meters, since the isometric view does not allow for more) and ooops! a hostile tank! click on your tank and click on the other and poff! you got hit from 10 meters! Where are the rest of your forces? Aha, a green or red or yellow square on a minimap at the edge of the screen and voila! a quick jump to it so that you absolutely don´t get to grips with the lay of the land. :mad:

    It´s this crippled view I hate the most. And as a result: tank battles from distances within 20 meters. It has been like this with at least the 15 last games covering any resemblence of WW2.

    Should the implossible happen, that BFC screws things up badly with their next engine, I won´t acutally be sorry. I can play CM for another 4 years. It´s really that good.

    Regards

    Rob - good thing you have it solved, at last.

    Since the ones that know anything about CMMOS has gathered here, may I make an inquire too?

    I have been trying to create a CMMOS sound mod, but I just won´t succeed. In the CMMOS help files, it says that a sound mod is exactly the same as a graphical mod, except for the 'key file extension', which of course should be .wav instead.

    Once installed, the disabled icon shows up, no matter what I do. Why is that?

    I have quadruple checked both the rule, the entire mod in itself plus the Ruleset. I have also compared to existing CMBO sound mods. No fault. What is the magical secret?

    :(

    A new mod at Zimorodok's´place

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Hi.

    Zimorodok has been kind to post my new mod at his site.

    http://www.zimorodok.org/

    There you can find

    - new wooden fence

    - new hay roof

    - 3 new shacks

    - 4 new small light buildings

    It´s kind of a package that go together, although i believe everything fits in pretty nice with others effort and default art.

    Beware though that the same preview picture has been used for the entire mod, which is uploaded house by house. However, the buildings are not the same. :eek:

    If you like the rustic look, you should try these ingame.

    Regards

    Gurra or MikeyD, ETO treatment to the lowly Marder IIIM

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    Okay, I will stop this guessing game.

    At Zimorodok's, you can get my latest contribution to CM. I did this one primarily for myself, but why not share it anyway? smile.gif

    Available stuff:

    1. new wooden fence

    2. new hay roof

    3. 3 new wooden shacks

    4. 4 new small light buildings

    And it's all built out of wood. ;)

    Well, except for the hay roof(but even that has a bit of wood in it)

    Why on earth have I done this, which is a fully legitimate question, as Tanks a lot's buildings are out there, and they are gorgeous?

    I missed light buildings made of timber.

    These buildings have a very rustic feel about them, and my intentions have been to portray small russian farms or villages.

    I actually named the project 'Devrenya', which should mean 'the spirit of the small village'.

    Due to file transportation issues, the whole mod is uploaded house by house, and the same preview picture has been used on almost every house, but you can get a fairly good view of the lot anyhow.

    Regards

    Hi David,

    that was an interesting proposal...

    but as MikeyD said in another thread, the excuses for sitting on the inside somewhere and mod when summer has arrived, are running dry.

    I have just finished a pretty big mod project for CMBB at the moment, and so I need to reload and take a little while off. But when I start again, I could definitely take a look at the Marder IIIM. It will not just happen within the next two weeks. ;)
