    kohlenklau got a reaction from laurent 22 in In the campaign for Broken Shields, Mission 1. One of the buildings has no snow on the roof. Can this be fixed? Is there a way to get at the file and tweak/tag it so it has snow?   
    Congratulations! You exploded your first brz file. Piece of cake.
    Yeah, I been doing this a long while so I have knowledge you do not YET. I had to look at your screenshot and then poked my head into the folders one after another until I saw the exterior wall style and then saw the roofs.
    The file was like this and to me stood out like a sore thumb.
    building008-roof (02 [germany snow]
    It was missing the closing paren ")"
    So it defaulted to the no snow roof.
    I fixed it.
    building008-roof (02) [germany snow]
    I looked in the campaign and those folks NOW have wonderful attic insulation.
    Here is the repaired file you can grab and put in your CMRT z folder.

    You are very welcome. It took a few hours but I had breakfast with the grandkids and did a few other chores in parallel.
    Oh, another thing to clarify in case you are scratching your head.
    In the CM titles there can be regions selected in the editor. For CMRT this is Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and Germany. Hungary did not make the cut to be a region I guess. But it is a modtag [hungary]. So, the files for that little house just had [snow germany] because the scenario author set region as Germany even though it is fought in Hungary. The independent houses might not be 100% perfect for Hungary circa 1944 but oh well. Stores and shops have a modtag of [hungary] because the art is done to show Hungarian words on the stores. Roadsigns too.
    So endeth the lesson

    The one thing about a saved campaign in progress is that you might be stuck with that damn original no snow roof. I am not sure. Let me know if you load your save and that roof is still messed up. But on a fresh start, with my fix in z, the roof now looks goodly covered in virgin white snow.
    Best wishes to you "Zar"!

    kohlenklau I stopped a few years ago. It wouldn't have been Harp. Bushmills close to home and more than a few bath tubs of that to say enough was enough.

    @WimO
    Hi Wim, I PM'd you with a dropbox link. I propose this is my assigned weekend to buckle down and complete this Horsa project for you - if you have time to test stuff and give feedback. Thank you sir.

    Alrighty Mr. Wim, the Horsa Glider proceeds as usual for my Blender projects. Some areas I have capability to edit and "fix" and other areas are beyond my amateur skill level.
    I used the British Bedford QLD GS truck as our host for the Horsa. I made a modtagged silhouette. I have edited the 3D model so the truck crew is up front as the pilots. You can if you want mod their helmets and uniforms to look more historical. The troops are in the glider having a smoke.
    My memory failed me as usual and an immobilized truck cannot be an ammo dump.
    There are a few "work-arounds" and you as the purchaser ($$$  ) can decide.
    OPTION A is the gliders(trucks) status is purchased/edited as OK. So these gliders are not immobilized. To keep the driver AI from trying to avoid enemy fire by driving the glider (truck), you CAN play with heavy forest at the spot where they are initially deployed. (That might be a hassle with your Rembrandtian maps, I dunno). This did stop the movement. The Germans gain LOS to and fire at the gliders and some explosions and fire can occur and the gliders can be destroyed. Kind of cool.
    OPTION B is you could go with immobilized gliders and the troops can no longer get into the glider and you no longer see the silhouette but you could purchase another unit of some other truck and set it as dismounted in the editor, deploy near the Horsa and it turns into an ammo crate flavor object that can be acquired by the troops. They would seem to be "near" the Horsa getting ammo.
    EDIT: along with OPTION A or OPTION B, you might want to sprinkle some "inert" Horsa glider flavor objects on your map. These I will be trying to look crashed and damaged in a few ways. Nose wheel gone and maybe a wing ripped back a bit. I dunno. And maybe the ugliest situation of the upside down belly up crashed total write off.
    Oh, note that in Option A above, you CAN purchase and set some glider (truck) status to burning or destroyed. The appearance is normal with no damage but you could deploy them into a wall or at an angle in a ditch.
    @WimO Let me know your thoughts! By PM or whatever way...

    I downloaded a free 3D model and the author is Mr Helijah. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/airspeed-horsa-7febf28fb92a4189b71dd3796af78c51
    It needed massive changes in Blender to get it to show as a flavor flave object. Just so you don't think it was plug n play 5 minutes.
    Maybe 3 hours work I did renaming and editing. AND I still have a few things to fix.

    Loyd carrier has a bug. Both CMFI and CMBN. 
    Starboard side roadwheel does not turn.
    3D modeller was tired that night I guess and typo named it whee5 instead of wheel5 in the model data.
    I fixed it and it now turns.
    I could offer the fix to the community but I would miss out on time and opportunity. I wouldn't be alive 58 years if I didn't know what I was doing!
    EDIT: Here is the Loyd Carrier mdr fix for CMFI and CMBN. To me this is a hobby and part of a life-long love for WW2 history, so I can work hours and hours and actually make stuff. "Make mods, not excuses."

    I will soon be the proud owner of an RAF aerial recon photo from May 1940. Should I put it in a frame by my bedside?
    The scenario presses nicely forward. The book "The Flames of Calais" should be here Monday. It has about 8 pages describing this action. I will examine every word.
    Meanwhile, my German aufklarungs gruppe takes shape from my imagination.
