    Umlaut´s quick-snow mods

    in CM Final Blitzkrieg Maps and Mods

    Posted · Edited by umlaut

    Thanks all.

    I'll do as many as I can/feel like. I dont want it to be a chore - and I'd like to play the game too now and then ;)

     Looking forward to having snowy panzers.;)

    Alas, the german vehicles are probably not going to be as easy. The zimmerit and tricolour camo schemes dont go too well with my quick-snow method.

    Umlaut are you planning on doing the same for the infantry uniforms like some of the work you did for CMFI-GL? You can really notice the difference with some 'dusting' on the uniforms and gear.

    I am planning to look at it, yes. But I'd rather not promise anything, because I fear it might be a lot of work.

    Umlaut´s quick-snow mods

    in CM Final Blitzkrieg Maps and Mods

    I have just uploaded a set of snowy shermans to cmmods: Snow-sprinkled versions of all the 17 Sherman variants in CM Final Blitzkrieg. Each modtagged [snow].

    These are what I call ”quick” mods. I have devised a way to add light snow to a vehicle that is much faster than my usual method. The downside is that I have had to compromise quite a bit on the quality. The snow layer of many of these vehicles wont stand up for closer inspection, but I have chosen to go with this method for two reasons:

    1: The vast majority of players wont inspect the vehicles close enough to notice the difference anyway. At least not while playing an ordinary game.

    2: If I were forced to make these mods the usualy – and much, much slower – way, it would have been way too much work. And thus, I wouldn´t have made them at all.

    In short: It is these or none. And in my view some are preferable to none. You might disagree, though I hope not.

    By the way: I really like MikeyD's work on the vehicles in FB. They are gorgeous. But I think the un-whitewashed snow free vehicles look out of place in snowy conditions. This is why I made these mods.

     

    Next set of quick mods will be the US halftracks.

    Hmmm, interesting illumination from the tank's muzzle blast. I don't believe I've ever seen that before.

    Michael, perhaps you have been experiencing the same thing as I: Sometimes I have to toggle shaders on or off (alt-R) to get the dynamic lighting to work. Rather strange, as there doesnt seem to be much consistency in it.

    More about it in this thread:

    Why ride the suicidal Hanomag halftrack when you can walk?

    Ha! An Exploited reference. I've seen em live loads of times. He used to hang around one of the record shops in Edinburgh. 

    I played their first album til it was almost worn out when I was 14. Only got to see them live once, though - twenty-odd years later, when my old punk band had a short revival and played with them at a festival. I must admit that my enthusiam for their sound had waned considerably in the meantime.

    When this will be on the CMMODs?

    I've uploaded three of my lastest mods to CMMODS about two weeks ago, they never showed up on the site. I then contacted GreenAsJade who'd check it out, but nothing happened. It seems like we'll have to do without CMMODS - which means with only Dropbox, as there are no other mod sites now. :(
