No tracks or wheels modded ...but weathered now.

I could do something like that, but the Repository only allows 78Mb files...

Thanks umlaut, I am finishing the M2A1 HT now, in order to have all american HTs weathered in the game.

No longer available, check this one instead. http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=314&func=fileinfo&id=1474

Last one for a while, I need a rest... The Panther D.

Hehe, uniforms are EZ´s. No need to upgrade your GPU

Ugh, you are right, I will upload the right version later today, sorry for the inconvenience.

I would like to mod the shared textures, that is, ammo boxes, and different gear but that would apply to all vehicles in the game, and unweathered AFV would look odd. BTW, M3A1 Halftrack it´s been uploaded.

This is what I am trying, thanks for the suggestions Erwin.

Umm, possibly,... But first, their allied counterpart Work in Progress.

Thanks Pinetree!! Yes, in fact, as I look at my CMAK mods I feel embarrassed...

Ok, will remove them for version 1.2. It´s imposible to add certain foliage without avoiding that 2d , flat effect.

...and here is the result, grass and branches added... Do you know of any nice insignias for the jeep? I haven´t been able to find nice decals for it...

Not yet, I am experiecing with adding foliage for the first time. Every project needs a new challenge

Thanks guys, much appreciated. Next, the American Jeep. As simple as it may look, it represents quite a challenge for the modder due to the fact that some bitmaps are used both on horizontal and vertical zones, and thus, end up stretched and looking odd. I have tried to eliminate that effect but it´s impossible unless you leave those zones with a plain, unweathered olive drab color, breaking the global weathering effect. Check the bumper to see what I am speaking about (should I leave it unweathered to avoid that strectching in the BMP?).

In fact,...it´s available already

Ok, that´s it. Last variant added, ready to zip and upload.

Bullet holes added...

I will add bullet marks for future versions ( I may even try it with the Stuart Mod I am working on). Thanks for the appraises.

I will include many decals this time

Thanks Erwin. Suggestions are always welcome, they sure help me improve my modding skills. The lighting effects in CMBN are somehow very different to previous CM titles. Depending of the time of the day they dramtically change the weathering effects. Adding shadows would make the vehicle look great on some hours and odd on others. As to weathering and dirt quantity, it´s always hard to find a balance. Some players love to see them as if they were drying after a bath in the mud, others like subtle effects. Bullet scrapes it´s something I will try in future mods. Spare track links or missing plate armors are something embedded in the code. You can add objects but they would look plain and unrealistic. (same applies to foliage). Maybe , skilled modders can give it a try.
