    Question? About release of BP

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    How can a scenario pack have a dependency on another scenario pack, anyway? It's not that it can use parts of the previous one.

    ...perhaps the following pack must have characteristics, objects...or whatever, or certains actions which depend on the previous pack, by being created for example in campaign mode ?

    I don't know I'm not a pro in moding campaign scenario creations, I'm saying my point of view simply.

    Me savvy! I don't know how communications/marketing are handled on the Matrix/Slitherine side, I would think (or hope) that at least they'd ask for BF's approval before publishing content online - or at the very least have a proof reader knowledgeable on the subject  glance at it.

    i think everybody's make his own indoor meals, is ok, to make his own publicity, but this bring sometimes confusions,... personly my point go toooo....BFC !

    I think the information on the Matrix Info tab could use a little clarification. It most likely means that if you bought the aforementioned DLCs on Steam then you'll need to purchase BP2 on Steam as well. Conversely, if you've purchased everything from BF's store front you'll need to order BP2 from BF directly.

    i understand it also like this, I think BFC Matrix and Steam have to work on commmon accord and posting original pictures of BFC only,...  from a couple of months it was also a "mistake" of a wrong picture, showing russian troops for Red Thunder in camo uniforms...

    Here are the properties of "gun 5 ak-74 0.wav" I've been using myself, in case you have a mismatch somewhere.

    There's probably a Youtube vid featuring all the Squad gun sounds. While that video is playing, use Audacity (or any other recording software that lets you see the waveform) to record your own PC's output as a lossless flac or wav file. Then chop that master file up into individual sounds. You can even combine sound files in various ratios, and this, along with Audacity's really nice onboard effects, can get you some very new and very impressive sounds. 

    However(!!)... Combat Mission sound files need to be mono and of a certain type and bit rate (which I forget at the moment), and this conversion is where you'll notice the degradation in audio quality. But the sounds could still be really good. I did a Band of Brothers / Saving Private Ryan gun sound mod this way, and some of the rifle sounds are fantastic. The Garand, especially, made those handful of hours 100% worth it.

    Interresting just realise that the sounds are all recorded in mono, I did some and they were all recorded in stereo !!

    I'm not sure why it says 'from Steam'.  It does not have to be from Steam, unless your CMBN base game is on Steam as @OldSarge just said.  To be honest I'm struggling to think why you need BP1 to play BP2 anyway...

    I checked Steam and it says 'This content requires the base game Combat Mission Battle for Normandy on Steam in order to play.'  No mention of BP1 there.

    Ah so sorry Tim here it is writing down !! 

    But hey!!  dont worry about this, the usual games and addond are from BFC itself, so is only a bad transcription of infos, but is important sometimes to mention it ...

    Matrix / Slitherine are the publishers, BFC the developers?

    It's announced on Steam as well.

    Nice ang good but, if BfC is the developers why the anounce dont appear on the BFC webpage ?

    Just a detail perhaps but on the Matrix page appear

    >>IMPORTANT: This content requires the base game Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy >> ok

    and the previous DLC Commonwealth Forces >>ok

    and Market Garden>>ok

     and Vehicle Pack>>ok 

     and Battle Pack 1 on Steam in order to play. >?

    is there something different or not compatible with the bp1 from BFC and bp1 from Steam ?

    Houses in Italy (Mods?)

    in CM2 Scenario and Mod Tips

    Posted · Edited by JM Stuff

    For some of you, who dares, getting their feet on the "prohibited" site CMMODs III, the links are available to download, and let discover some "pearl mods", of the past, and they are numerous starting on page 230 to 177.

    I took the first step without encountering "mines" beyond 177, it becomes a "Nomansland" in all languages,... just too to remember that @Bootie also dug up mods to integrate them into CMMODs IV, ...hurry up one day all will desapear. 

    Just remember "prohibited" doesn't mean (no passable)...

    because in the life, it’s precisely, because it’s forbidden that everyone wants to try!

    Vehicles Skins for Fortress Italy

    Well, it's been about a month, and I think I've modified all of the vehicles in Fortress Italy that I intend to do.  My original thought was to fill in the gaps of vehicles that didn't have modded skins, but I ended up going well beyond that.  Below is the link for all of the axis vehicles I've worked on, including updated versions of the ones I've already posted.  Just to give fair warning, the file is almost 1 gb zipped.  I likely won't be doing any allied vehicles at this point since I've just adapted existing skins made by other contributors, but I may start working on axis vehicles for the other theaters since I saved all of the templates I created.

    Whoaw !! @Aristoteles has a brother, thank you @Beaker-I, you have just to work now, on the Allied, before starting with, BN, RT, FB, CW, BS, SF, and dont forget to added as well, to your beaufiful color of Floating Icons...(kidding) !!

    You can load the graphic into the free Greenfish Icon Editor and then use the eraser too to make any part transparent.

    This is exactly what I am doing and try to show with some pics @WimO 😉 thank you !

    Personly, I use paint.net to save it in png for the transparency, but is my choice, dont forget also to created sometimes the normal map, than export in greenfish and save it in bmp. 

    We can also do it with photoshop or gimp but sometimes this doens t work for  me !!

     

    So now the us army havent bayonette in my game !!

    Not sure I understand. What do you mean save the BMP in black?

    Just to be clear, I want to make invisible part of a bmp, not the whole BMP

    Is true, I never let desapear a part of a picture but always completely.

    I will make myself some test from a part of bmp to see how it's works !

    Hope that you will find somebody with the correct answer.

    Sorry cannot help !

    Making parts of uniforms transparent

    in CM2 Scenario and Mod Tips

    Posted · Edited by JM Stuff

    Is there a way to have parts of uniforms transparent in the BMP format that Combat Mission uses?

    I know there is a way to make all of a texture transparent, like making chin straps invisible in various mods.

    I want to make shoulder straps invisible in various CM:A uniforms, this game has the shoulder strap in another part of the uniform texture, not in the shoulder, and it puts it in the shoulder ingame, so editing it is quite difficult, making it transparent would be way easier. Does that make any sense?

    Try this.

    To let "disappear" uniforms or what else check the mod of MOS with his helmets mod, and "paint" the part that you want "delete" in black, save your bmp in black.
    This is the methods that I use to let "desapear things" like amunition pouch, gaz mask or whatever.
    Hope this help you

    Frankie Howard was a very good Brit comedian same generation as Tommy Cooper, Benny Hill etc.  Interesting that when I did a search for Brit comedians of the 60's and 70's, Benny Hill's name did not come up.  

    Yes Erwin the Benny Hill Show I saw this int the 80 it was funny with british humour !
