I can't even imagine the number of chicks that Aris or Mord must have hanging outside their doors, waiting for their Mod God to emerge from days on end in creative seclusion!

Look at the top of this or any thread...there is a rating system. Someone keeps rating these mod threads with a one star. Bad form, 'ol boy!

And when CMx4 or CMx5 gets here, we'll be saying the same thing about CMx2!

I just voted 5 stars, so it upped the overall to a 3 star. Why anyone wants to be a jerk about these mods is beyond me...hell, even if they did in fact stink, it's worth more just for the effort.

Er, um...http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=106201

Bowie (Jason Patric) to Travis (Patrick Wilson): Sometimes...it's just the way you say things, Travis.

For what it's worth, I think your analysis is spot on, LLF.

Nisei Units now up at CMMODS: US Divisional Patched Uniforms for CMFI: 100th Battalion and 442nd RCT This uniform mod is in honor of all the Nisei-Americans who fought for my country in WWII. You all know they had an extremely tough row to hoe just getting into battle to prove to the rest of the country that they were "worthy" of doing so, while their loved ones lost homes and businesses and put into internment camps. One from the 442nd was my neighbor about 35 years ago. Quiet, unassuming, and had a killer garden. Thank you for your service, Mr. Toki, and rest in peace. There are two versions of Asian faces for the 100th Battalion and 442nd RCT. LongLeftFlank kindly informed me that the Asian faces used in his excellent PTO Mod were done by Coon Dog, who has been missing on the boards for a while. I was unable to contact him, but I hope he will be OK with me using his faces here. Coon Dog's faces were done for CMBN, however, which doesn't have "bump (or is it normal--I forget) mapping". In CMFI, the mappings literally map the contours of the picture/texture bmp file, so eye sockets, cheekbones noses and other contours "reflect" the light better...or something like that. Anyhoo, putting a CMBN face texture on a CMFI face map causes funky-looking faces because the contoured map doesn't line up with the facial features artwork. So, I made two sets for you to choose from. "Asian Faces I" are CMFI faces with simple coloration changes so as to at least set them off from the more paler Caucasian faces in the game. "Asian Faces II" are Coon Dog's CMBN ones. Take your pick.

Thanks Mord, I didn't realize Tempestzzz had modded the wall. Tempestzzz, I was thinking when I looked at your pics...my, what great looking pairs of pants those gents are wearing! And once again, I love those posters!

Love 'em! Posters are a problem, though, if the wall they are on gets blasted to rubble...the poster stays floating in mid- air!

Part 3, Italy, is up at CMMODS. It turns out that Coon Dog, not LongLeftFlank, did the Asian faces I want to use for the Nisei of the 100th Battalion and 442nd RCT, and he hasn't been around for a while. I PM'd him. In the meantime, I took those two units out of Part 3. You're welcome, Erwin.

Now uploaded at GaJ's CMMODS...2/3rds of it at least. I packaged them in 3 parts--Armor/Sicily/Italy--because of the upload limits for BFC's Repository (should be up there on Monday). I'm waiting to hear from LongLeftFlank (check your email/PMs, mate) regarding some files from his PTO mod for the Nisei units before uploading the last package. Hope you enjoy them. mjk

Which side were you playing? Does the player side get an advantage/disadvantage just because it's human vs AI?

I started out playing CMBN in RT since that is all I played in CMSF (I never played CMx1), but quickly switched to WEGO since RT doesn't have replay function, and it was impossible for me to resist watching a mini WW II movie every turn!

Hmmm, not my experience, but I usually play regular infantry--middling quality--and only about one or sometimes two guys in a whole platoon will have them, max.

Well, that's news. Thanks to you, and of course Pete, for teasing that info out!

Yes, that feature does work well for the Germans, at least. More MP44's with better experience/quality units.

99.9% sure they stick to the last man.

Easy! It's the Battles of the Bulge and the Assaults on Monte Cassino... Oh, and all those others battles.....

Two East Front games??????????

But also seems to be supported by Nordyke and Bob Murphy (No Better Place to Die).

GaJ, FYI, I have noticed that in the past, with one of my old mods, all of a sudden it kept popping up in amongst the recent mods when I had them sorted by date.

I thought that a dead tank couldnot provide cover (only concealment) for another tank. It only provides cover for infantry. Or sumfink. It was done this way to avoid apparent gaminess in CMx1 of having a row of tanks line up and essentially charge forward. Or sumfink. I recall Steve/BFC mentioning this when CMBN came out.

Now THAT is a shame!
