    Most of the CMHQ site is devoted to CMBO.

    The CMBB material is found in two places: the CMMOS section and the New Mods section.

    Click on the CMMOS item on the left of the CMHQ intro page, and then download and install CMMOS 4.03. It should be installed to path that looks something like C\Program Files\GEM Software Productions\CMMOS\CMBB. The CMBB in that path is not the game, it's a folder named CMBB that keeps the CMBB material separate from the CMBO material (which has its own folder in there as well).

    After you've downloaded and installed CMMOS, to make it work you'll need rulesets (which you get from the CMHQ site -- they're usually at the top of each page in the CMMOS section) and mods (listed in sections under their appropriate ruleset).

    Go ahead and download them, but before you do anything else read as much of the readme files in CMMOS as you can stand. Then read them again. That file will probably clear up most of your questions (all if you read it enough times). Somewhere (I don't remember where) there's a great tutorial by MikeT on using CMBB CMMOS (which is slightly different from CMBO CMMOS). I think it's posted on Zimrodok's website, but I'm not sure.

    The rulesets, once downloaded, probably have self installers. Just keep sending everything to the default location. Installing the mods themselves is actually easy, but doesn't make sense if you haven't seen the CMMOS control screens or read the relevant parts of the readme files (you can skip the discussion about how to write rules and rulesets -- you're just installing the mods for now).

    As a general word of advice, when downloading any mod (and especially the non-CMMOS mods) it's a good idea to download them into a separate holding folder and examine the contents. There's a lot of stuff in there that you don't want in your bmp folder. You should also always, always, always make a back-up of the BFC original before you replace it. The nice thing about CMMOS is that it does that for you (and zips the back-up), if it is set up correctly. If you have a big hard drive you might want to make an extra copy of the CMBB bmp folders and Wav folders as a safety just after a clean install. They're kind of big, but it saves quite a few headaches at first because you're bound to make mistakes. After a week or two, when you've got your bearings, you can delete your safety wheels.

    cheers Philippe

    correct me if i'm wrong... is cmmos4.3 some sort of mod installing programme? which lets you mess around with mods before installing to your game folder?

    Download all the CMMOS rulesets and all the CMMOS mods and install them (it doesn't take that long, even on a dial up). You should be particularly interested in the dirty Russian and dirty German mods, especially those done by Gordon Molek and Gautrek when there are several to choose from. And don't forget Juju's modslut special (small arms), which is really easy to use in CMMOS form.

    The nice thing about CMMOS is that you can grab it all and figure out which textures you prefer later. I set up and save QB's with huge numbers of points so that I can look at the line up for a particular period.

    After that, supplement with material from CMMODS that never got converted to CMMOS. Much of the older material on CMMODS seems to be conversions of CMMOS mods to non-CMMOS format.

    Make sure you get the Undaunted Sky mods from CMMODS.

    There are many really talented mod artists that I haven't mentioned, but if you're going the CMMOS route the material tends to come with explanations embedded in the program, and there are only a few cases where you'll have to avoid choosing a lesser designer.

    what is cmmos 4.3?

    what is mcmmm?

    what are rulesets?

    do they work with cmbb

    download all the cmmos mods?

    so i need to get dirty german and russian mods

    from authors like molek/gautrek

    juju mudlsut

    Undaunted Sky from cmmods

    all winter mods

    is that about right?

    thnx for help guys

    Hi all

    New ere

    ive got cmbb but not the special ed

    what i want to know from you guys is this

    1 is it possible to get a legal download of the mods disk only from the special ed.. i dont want to purchase cmbb again to get it..

    2 there are so many mods out there that i have no idea which ones to get to make the game more realistic and graphically authentic... so i would appreciate if one or some of you guys would name specific mods that i should download... i know th sites i just aint that clever at distinguishing between the good ones and the bad ones..

    all help and advice is greatly appreciated
