    CMBO Looking for a Mod..

    in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord

    Posted

    Wicky,

    I did really consider your mod to modify for CMBO

    It is very nice but there are issues in how tanks are done in CMAK vs CMBO.

    The nose for example is in two pieces in CMAK vs one piece in CMBO, so that cable on the front of your mod worried me enough to use a similar dirty M18 CMAK mod that did not have the cable.

    There is also a challenge with the top of the gun turret in CMBO because it is just done in a different manner in CMAK.

    But it is now complete, it looks great and I think it rocks; now I am working on bringing the Chaffee tank from CMAK into CMBO.

    Thanks

    CMBO Looking for a Mod..

    Hello All,

    Well it got to the point that it didn't seem anyone would mod a M18 Hellcat for CMBO.

    So I have taken matters into my own hands, by taking a M18 Hellcat mod made for CMAK and tweaking it to run in CMBO.

    Looks sweet, if someone wants to have a look and perhaps would post the pics for me great!

    If you enjoy CMBO as much as me and want the mod to use yourself thats great too!

    email me at: (mahon72@myeastern.com)

    No, I used modded standard uniforms for CMBO and added the snow effect for each uniform myself in a paint program. It just did not seem right to have snow falling and no snow on the men.

    CMAK BMP stacked in CMBO

    in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord

    One by one I suppose.

    Unfortunately not (ALL) the BMP numbers are the same through the 3 games, I mean for the most part there are but I found out the hard way that it's not a sure thing 100 percent of the time.

    What I am doing is, I have one window opened for the CMAK Bitmap folder and one window opened for the CMBO BMP folder. I then verify the BMP numbers before moving anything.

    Things that are a sure bet:

    Grass

    Snow

    Moss

    Marsh

    Brush

    Rough

    Water

    Ice

    Bocage

    Stone Walls

    Wood Fence

    Most of the trees but do this as visual

    Because what I could not use out of CMAK I went and used out of CMBB. I also grabbed some bushes out of CMBB.

    Also took these other things from CMAK:

    Fire

    Smoke

    Explosions

    (Working on the Sky now)

    Some things I would go with mods 24/7

    Paved Roads (with wear markings)

    Dirt Roads (with grass growing in the middle)

    Buildings (war torn and beat looking)

    Bunkers

    Bridges (both wood and stone)

    Rubble (with a 3D effect)

    Mine Signs

    Ambush Markers

    Unit Pictures (I put my own set together)

    Flags (so much better then the stock ones)

    Command Lines when issuing orders or showing in/out of command units.

    Movement Markers (the round ones when you know theres an enemy at a location but have no visual)

    Cement/concrete (The one made from Commandos)

    Interface (mainly for CMBO, I made my own out of like 2 or 3 different mods with added detail.)

    The reason I use mods for the above is because thses things even in CMAK are lame and I have replaced them in all 3 games.

    In the end, it's a big pain in the neck, but when the end result is CMBO looking terrain wise as good as CMAK it is most worth the effort.

    I also just brought the Stuart Tank over from CMAK, which was tough because the hull is in 5 pieces in CMAK and CMBO only uses 4 but with a little work, done. I also have the sweetest looking Tiger and King Tiger for CMBO that I converted from a mod made for CMBB in the same manner as the Stuart.

    If someone could explain to me how to post some screen shots I would be more than happy to show all of you.

    Thanks Måkjager

    You can contact me at mahon72@myeastern.com

    I have been busy sorting through all the different Mods from the past few years, was quite a task to find the best renders. :D

    Also have been grabing BMP(s) from CMAK Demo and CMBB for use in CMBO, the fire, smoke, tree bases, and water I find are the best right out of CMAK, I even grabbed the US Helmets from there, just too bad that when you try to use the tanker helmet in CMBO it just looks too weird for some reason. :rolleyes:

    Nice work on the Chaffee tongue.gif

    Regards,

    Dan
