@Suchy Do you want me to host/co-host your mods in my "goodybox"...? Of course in folders with your name in bright neon flashing lights! To have it all in 1 place is good I think... 3 CMRT Finn Mod scenarios are in progress... "Reimo's Sotka" "The Old Graveyard" "Fire Control Center"

40 days until Xmas. Lets go guys! I have 1 almost ready...CMRT Barbarossa Mann Gegen Panzer Watched a movie last night to get the scenario juices percolating for the CMRT Finn Mod @Suchy

I will start to write some small scenarios for these new mods...

excellent Tommy, please go, Go, GO, GO!! I think modding CM is best as a team sport and we all win when people team up to try to do mods or expand (improve and make better!) some old guy's mods.

It looks great Tommy! I am always ready for modding...

I gotta share this CMRT one I have in the design process! Working title is "Mann Gegen Panzer" I am aiming for an October 1941 look with Waffen-SS in fall smocks with jackboots. They're on the defense in a wheatfield with hasty foxholes (craters) and it reminds me of an old CMBB scenario but not the same actors, no KV's It will feature the mod using the grenade bundle in place of the demo charge. I have to play some other tricks to have an HMG34 and LMG34. fun stuff

Hey, if you work in the bordello, you take cash from the customers and hand out fresh sheets. None of this going UPSTAIRS and getting distracted!

COOL!

45 days until Xmas! 9 scenarios so far I think I counted. Can we get some mini campaigns? Nudge nudge wink wink

Now for something completely different... "On the Edge of Glori" For CMFI, a saved game staged scenario. You load to your saved game folder and play from there against the AI. The mods go in your z folder. Mods by me, Juju, Oleksandr and JM Stuff. Please check out the READ ME FILE first... It has a fairly long story briefing to set the stage for the scenario. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ht99cb3z52f2rm8/AAA-NN2t7Hzend4825M3xsUpa?dl=0 This may not be your cup of tea so I understand...

We have 8 scenarios so far. Can we get a 9th today? I have one I am working on mods for and trying to iron out some issues I see during tests. I feel like Jerry Lewis on a telethon...saying that dates me a bit I guess.

My amateur explanation of what I did as an amateur in Blender... I imported the regular Italian helmet mdr. I also imported the bmp for the regular helmet. I was in edit mode and edges selection mode. I picked an edge of a polygon. It was a white line when selected. It was horizontal on the left side of the helmet where I thought the feather would start. I made a duplicate. Then I think it is holding the right mouse and I PULLED the duplicated edge upwards to make a long rectangle polygon. This took a few tries. You must constrain some axis. I think the x-axis. then you triangulate it to become 2 triangles in the rectangle. Then I switched to face selection and selected the 2 triangles in my new rectangle. Then I duplicated that and moved them just g x .001. Then you choose to see the normals. Then make sure that one side of the feather is normals pointing away. The other side also pointing away. Switch if there is a problem. Then I did the uv map just for the 4 new faces. The original helmet bmp is shown and over in the uv map area you move and scale the new triangles to be in a part of the bmp where you can add new art using GiMP and Photoshop. It took a few times to get it fixed. I can also send some pictures to try and explain better.

sure, whatever you can share. Why not?

on behalf of the community, thank you Nigel! ...also, thank you Ben! @benpark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Including mine, that makes 6 so far.

New scenario just added to my goody box. "KRETA The Mandarin House"... This is a dropbox link straight to my CMFI Kreta Mods and scenarios. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nhawptyba75vqkl/AAB2cBGA5UvFpasdj7lu2kfua?dl=0

yeah, no rules here for this scenario challenge! any size really, the discussion of the 208x208 with 10 minutes was just to show how small it COULD be dialed down to in order to make the fear of creation/completion decreased for first time scenario writers...etc etc

looking forward to it... You got your mojo back!

you bet JM. do what makes YOU enjoy it!

it is ok, go for it here is ok with me

I am making one today for CMFI and it will have a bunch of my Crete mods. Link will be provided to the scenario and mods later today... "The Mandarin House" ^ Galatas, Crete. 25 May 1941. Late in the day with the sun setting. Light wind from the sea to the northwest. ^ You command the remnants of a New Zealand infantry company with some support weapons. After an enemy attack, you have managed to surround a few squads of German Fallschirmjagers holed up in the orange walled building the troops have dubbed the "Mandarin House". You have reported this to Brigade and reinforcements from the 3rd Hussars are being organized to assist you. They are due in about 10 to 20 minutes. ^ Your enemy is surrounded and exhausted after almost a week of fighting in the hot Crete weather. But they are the German's elite parachute forces. They are a tough bunch! ^ Deploy your forces as desired. The dark blue set up zone totally surrounds the enemy position with a small buffer. ^ You have 30 minutes to accomplish your mission. Points are awarded for destroying enemy units and taking the enemy position.

Excellent! Just day 1 and we already have 3 scenarios. On behalf of the community, thank you to: @SergeantSqook @hub6actual @Artkin

good job guys, beating the xmas rush!

I can't edit the first post anymore but ANY SIZE! ANY DURATION! ALL DISCUSSION OF the 208x208 10 minute was just to try and shrink the size of the monster to first timers.

Alright! If you sign up before midnight tonight you get a SECOND set of Ginsu knives absolutely free

it can be whatever size they want, but the editor allows 208x208 and 10 minutes JonS "Kiwi Soldiers" from CMFI GL is 208x208, I forget how long I see it as a cool thing to be down and intimate with a few teams and a platoon HQ A small street to go down a bit and try to clean out a building for example But I am WW2 title player...so...you know
