So necro post to an old thread, but I logged on for the first time in a very long time (hardly touch CM these days) and saw I had a ping in this thread from back in September relating to my tree mod. Would like to set the record straight cuz credit's due where credit's due. Mine was actually inspired by EZ's mod. Many many years ago, EZ posted a screen of the terrain mod he was working on, and I noticed his trees looked a ton better than stock. I waited for his mod to be released, and when it didn't come I couldn't wait any longer. I decided to make a more realistic tree mod myself inspired by what I had seen. The rest is history!
Awesome job on your terrain mod, Lucky_Strike. Looks incredible!! Definitely a labor of love, and it shows.

So, I was going through my screenshot folder and thought I would post a bunch from a recently completed PBEM with LukeFF where we fought on Hill 262 (CW The Mace). I fought as the Poles, and Luke fought at as the Germans. We also did DARs for this match, but only Luke completed his. Yeah, I was a slacker. Here are the links to the DARs if you wish to read them:

Here's a modification of the movie mode shader that gives it a night vision effect for those night scenarios. It's designed to be used in conjunction with the artificial brightness mode (Alt+B), so to use it all you have to do is hit Alt+B and Alt+M. Here's a link to download it right now, and I'll also upload it to the repository.

Thanks to SLIM for the idea and BarbaricCo for making it known it was possible to mod the shader.

@SLIM It's already on cmmodsiii. Link: http://cmmodsiii.greenasjade.net/?p=2566

Hehehe. Cool. Now for the dynamic White/Black infrared version.

Thanks guys!
Haha, I'm to the point I'm happy with it now, so I'll upload it tomorrow.
I edited values in the blur_shader.frag file which controls the movie mode parameters. Here's the thread where BarbaricCo and RockinHarry showed us the light on how to do that: http://community.battlefront.com/topic/120795-fxshine-shader/?page=1

What a cool idea! I liked it so much I had to give it a try. After about 30 minutes of tweaking:
 

 
Still needs some more tweaking, though. Thanks to Barbaric for opening this can of worms up!

CMx2 is getting pretty long in the tooth imo. It's getting harder and harder to be excited about new releases. It's pretty much to the point of oh wow, another title with the same recycled assets we've been seeing/hearing for nearly a decade, and the same engine/gameplay quirks we have to deal with. However, I don't think we'll see a CMx3 any time soon. I think we'll actually get to see DCS EDGE/Nevada released before we see a CMx3.
