@snake_eye Did the 17 pounder ATG show up yet? Let us know when she is on map!

No problem. It has been tested by us the modders! Just enjoy it if you deem it of interest.

Today I will conduct some tests to solve the CMRT Winter Mod QB issue. This CMRT Winter Mod QB issue being that the CMRT Winter Mod with modtag text file for [snow] was unable to be processed when racking yourself up a Quick Battle. My proposed solution is dependent on the player doing the "2nd install system with multiple z folders" noted a few posts above. I will rename the terrain files and remove [snow] and therefore the game will load the snow terrain as a default and thus your QB **should/will** be a winter warfare wonderland. ** pending results of tests.

Thanks Stjepan!

I think I have a solution to this QB issue based on discovering a solution to the mod conflict issue. In the "Program Files (x86)" folder, you copy and paste to create a 2nd install of CMRT which you rename as "CMRT Winter Mod". Then you create a z folder in each of those install folder under the data folder. Then relocate ALL your favorite CMRT Bagration summertime mods from the z folder you are probably using now under "my documents" to the 1st install's z folder. ALL the new CMRT Winter Mods go only to the CMRT Winter Mods z folder. This 2nd install's shortcut path must be edited and we have a new winter CMRT icon you can use if desired. OK, now the proposed QB solution....which only works if you do the 2 install process...and this will take some time for me to test and reply...I will remove the [snow] modtag so the new snowy terrain is the default for the 2nd install so NO MODTAG IS NEEDED AND WE MIGHT** HAVE SNOW QUICK BATTLES! We'd still need to edit and refine some summertime maps to make them optimized for winter. ** Pending testing of this idea.

This mod is a decent temporary arena of winter combat violence and death and destruction of the hated Ost Front foes. I always know that the skill and capability of the BFC art team is way above my level, the same with CMFI GL Bulge 44 mod versus the CMFB. But nonetheless, my partners and I humbly present this to the forum. ************************** Note: To solve some mod conflict issues, I now recommend you copy and paste to make a 2nd install folder of CMRT, and renamed as CMRT WInter Mod, in your program folder. It is very quick and easy and allows you to go to a system with "common mods" kept in the original z folder you are probably using now under "my documents" and then "install specific mods" in z folders under each of the 2 installs. You can even create a new short cut on the desktop, BarbaricCo made a new snowy CMRT icon. All your favorite Aris mods for summertime Bagration action can be kept in normal CMRT z folder but all the CMRT WInter Mods kept in the Winter z folder. Never a conflict! No activation/reactivation required!

Happy "New New"...? Do you have grandchildren over for the holidays Kevin?

@kevinkin Tying to improve the look of this Engineer's Halftrack for your scenario. When you upload it, I can make a special dropbox link so anyone playing the scenario can have the most up to date results. The same with the Panzer IV's for the Major Bake scenario....

Thanks Seinfeld. We will modtag and make available by dropbox link... By the way, what does the AD mean in front of the scenario name? Your initials?

I flushed so many new mods down the toilets at cmmods3 that I am sure I overflowed his septic tank.

BIG NEWS: OK, both sides have agreed to one massive turn 4. A 2-hour, (1200-1400 local time) ballz to the wall battle on a massive map with possibly 1 or more players per side to settle this for once and for all...the final blitzkreig! Battle preparation is underway!

I think it will be a gift under the tree.....................The shamrock tree! A gift for Saint Patty's Day.... Release on March 17th 2016!

All this scenario testing feedback and back and forth belongs in a PM or e-mail guys. Also please no more screenshots in the forums until the scenario is ironed out. Looks like you need a new modtag text file imported so it calls up the greatcoats or Telogreika jackets. Thanks.

Almost a month ago I started this thread with the idea to kick the tires and maybe do some type of winter mod. <That was the same day I went to the ER! > Enormous thanks to BarbaricCo and kevinkin for outstanding support and contributions. I think the CMRT Winter Mod can be considered successfully completed. Champagne and caviar on the house! NOTE: The idea that every vehicle does not yet have a winter camo is not part of an unfinished mod. Future winter camo vehicles or other wintery items to use in CMRT Winter Mod are now for the forum to contribute or bring over from CMFB. I hope you all get some great use out of it and enjoy it. I will be listening to PM and forum posts for anything that is an issue and attempt to rectify problems and post download links to new art or files to fix things I goofed. There are things on the horizon coming that will add to the CMRT Winter Mod. "sub-mods" perhaps is a good term? Teaser concepts: Winter Fallschirmjagers! Ost Front SS! Budapest '45! Berlin '45! Pavlov's House! Tomorrow I have to hit the books hard to get a good grasp on AutoCAD Civil 3D. I will of course unwind with some CM in the evenings.

No! I sent you a 3rd link for some more vehicles. And go hit the 2nd link from that PM for Soviet greatcoats added to the display case since you were last there "shopping"....

Go for it Kevin. For the record, all your full fledged scenarios consider your own work of course and free range to do as you please. Arrange testing as you see fit and then upload under your own name when you feel they are ready for curtain call. Thanks for your interest and motivation. I sincerely appreciate it.

@Kieme(ITA) I know you are a busy guy over at CMBS, right? Of course you are free to mod anything you like for this CMRT Winter Mod but please consider it my humble invitation and cordial request to add something at your convenience.

Here are some small sample battles with the modtag text file already imported. Play as allies vs the axis AI. 5 simple random Axis AI plans. 20 minute battle. In one battle your Soviet troops have greatcoats and in one battle, they have the Telogreika. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/omzxqhgb533hbzg/AAAkW5q-xbjtttAlI23d6Quva?dl=0

@dragonwynn

To create older Ost Front scenarios NOW in the immediate future VERSUS waiting what could be 5 to 7 to 10 YEARS. ...you have to have some flexibility and acceptance and tolerance of certain adaptations and workarounds. Also we would probably NOT go after the larger full unit on the map scenarios. Maybe we could but probably much easier not to. Stick with vignettes.

Get them while they're warm out of the oven.

7 hours ago I posted that Fluke. Really got in the way it seems.
