forumite 1: I want my steak with blue cheese crumbles. forumite 2: I would like mine with mushrooms, portabella mushrooms forumite 3: how about thinly sliced with horseradish BFC:

I would like it as a scenario editor setting. scavenging on. scavenging off. So in the heat of battle, you could have your guys run out and try and scavenge a PPsH off a dead Russian soldier. Close Combat was a different game (in 2D) and I remember one awesome thing about it was this very aspect.

oh yeah, that could be it...

BFC says they will not code in "scavenging" I think they said because that never happens in real wars. Baloney. What do we see in Ukraine? Real or hokey or uncommon. Who cares. I absolutely love seeing my out of ammo German troops scavenging around the winter Sot front battlefield and maybe grab a PPsH in non-CM games!

I think it is the Strings File. It has ALL units of all titles indexed a certain way but if you do NOT update properly then you get an out of date file and see this weirdness. I can only suggest to load it all again carefully in the proper order and then activate. OR you go to the official helpdesk and get a "ticket" and they walk you through it.

oh yes, good point. My brain was thinking just about the mods.

oh Spike, you are often so hilarious...

Not a stupid question at all. for me...under local disk C then Program Files (x86) then Battlefront then Combat Mission Red Thunder then Data you create a subfolder z (or maybe already there, I forget) and THAT is where you put the mods. Some people organize the z folder a certain way, I just shove it all in there and therefore I sometimes have issues, but I got a lot going on, you should be ok. Holler out if you have any snags

I don't think I would ever "pay" for a course for a game. If you are hurting for some spare change, no offence intended, focus fully on the current system where you make youtube videos and if you kick butt with a watchable product then the money slides in by sponsors and ads. Right? The entire tracking of who payed and they have a password or get the link? That sounds like a hassle to me. Word of mouth will spread here easily for maybe tons of free views of your girlfriend or other female actor hotty reading her CM tips. Trying to get forumites to spread your message of "pay me $2 and I will teach you..." I think people will not be motivated to spread that message. If you follow me. again, best wishes to you and your interesting project.

Timmy, land at Pflugerville, hold the bridges, resistance is expected to be Hitler youth and old men, and XXX Corps should easily make the 53 miles in 2 days.

53 miles from my house.

yes. definitely. Didn't your brother or somebody move to Texas? Near me I recall. Or was that somebody else...?

I honestly have not messed with it much. I want to but have a bunch of construction projects on my plate. Building an outdoor sauna and a grand dining room (2 stories ceiling with staircase to a loft)... Also a ton of travel plans here and there. Our first cruise. A visit to my older brother who had a stroke. yada yada yada etc etc I do really want to get to it in combo with a forumite who is making a big arse Barbarossa map. EDIT: I just remembered the wife is headed out of town next week for an overnight with her Mom (age 92) going to a casino down by the Rio Grande. Indian tribe casino...my mother-in-law can stay there by the slot machine like 24 hours! I can fire up Blender and try to make some headway on the KV1 and the Italian M13/40 as well.

Thanks Karl... welcome aboard. In my signature below is a dropbox link to my goody box. I have all kinds of stuff. Maybe not all that you mentioned but some variety. Finn Mod has 2 small scenarios to try. Continuation war timeframe. Also some Barbarossa scenarios. Romanian mod. Italy Mod. Enjoy yourself I hope. If you run into snags, just holler to me.

Did you do the UI stuff too? little image of weapon?

You're welcome Jacob. Good job man

I guess nobody wanted any Italian action on the ost front...or the average CM player doesn't want my half-ass version with obvious limitations. Moan and groan time: What fries my onions is that BFC could fart this out in a few days to make CMRT code changes to add in a 3rd nation. The graphics/3D/TOE/OOB to support it all mostly exist. I always guess/suspect/know Charles obviously has a full time job somewhere else and his efforts for CM new stuff are focused to like the barest allotment of his available time. Nobody else probably has permission or the knowledge to go in and make the changes. If Charles slips on a bar of soap, we are dead in the water. Steve is 24/7 working on his PhD in 2022 Ukraine-RF War, book deal, media consult, future DoD contracts and sincere best wishes on all that BUT damn I wish we'd see some surprise CMRT or CMFI module for the #EarlyWarOrphans. Ugggh secure from moan and groan

You're welcome. Just ask if you run into any snags. I recall there are 2 sets of MP40 mdr files. I think MP40 and MP-40. Odd. Just do both.

@Vacillator Hey Tim, yeah, please try them. 2 small scenarios with some mods. I had watched a Finn movie TaliInhintala or something like that and it inspired me to resurrect my old Finn mod and also @Suchy helped me too with some vehicles and better done uniforms. @WimO thanks for adding stuff to it. @dragonwynn made a campaign too but I am not sure it uses the latest mods but somebody could rewrite it.

Yes, it is possible. Standby... You just go to my goodybox and see the CMRT F&R files and find the weapons mdr for MP40 and MP44. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u892pa6drylwleh/AAD1Yoyjt06lOqc5uY8d5-_aa?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vniqbh1ykwweqpx/AAC7KyVLFi3BEpeDRX-kyZG4a?dl=0 you will make a copy of the STG44 mdr files and then rename using the MP40 file names. Add your desired modtag. Put in your z. You can also do the same with UI files so the UI shows STG44 You can't do anything about ammo mismatch.

With his 5 o'clock shadow? That exudes a Corporal Klinger M*A*S*H vibe and total non-woody... I think he is US from the 1776 in his forum name so it could be his girlfriend, hopefully a hot chick talking in a good military jargon US accent with nice outfits. She could have just a tight green t-shirt and ballcap. My idea: Frame the video so "C M Sally" is always there in one edge of the screen showing upper half of her body and face for the "view" and then the screen of CM action is superimposed to her left and she always has eye contact to the audience and makes comments and says funny things but not in a ditzy way. She also has one of those e-pens to make circles and arrows that show on the CM side to emphasize things.

You could call her "C M Sally"...!

If somehow you could make it like little TikTok shorts with a nice cleavagey type bouncy girl (I am old so I think Suzanne Sommers from Three's Company, but there are newer versions I am told ) then people would be more apt to click on it and watch it and you'd get maybe the promotional credit as ads pop up(?). But my thoughts are if someone is indeed tight on funds to buy an older cruder game then maybe they'd NOT want or be able to "pay" for tutorials but instead come to the CMX1 forum and ask for free tactical advice and all the guys will offer advice for 0.00 which is your competition. Unless you get that cleavage in there! Best wishes to you and your project.

no problems THERE...yet

I double-checked and I stand corrected. You are right. The partisans do NOT use the filenames with partisan skins but use regular soviet soldiers skins. Good spot sir. The damn partisan skin files are named differently too. I tried changing the file name and that did not seem to work. soviet-soldier-skin (uses dash) soviet_skin_partisan (uses underscore?) I tried soviet-skin-partisan and soviet-partisan-skin but no joy. EDIT: the reason I felt assured they WERE used was last year a team did a Warsaw uprising mod and we had younger looking faces and I THOUGHT for sure I saw them in our modtagged scenarios. But I am old and my eyes and brain have failed me I guess.
