AH ok is to store it on the cloud, yes I can check in details when he is finish.
Thanks you to your explanation Lucky !

My suggestion about the FO's use.
Soon I will put a copy of an exel file in my JM'Corner, available for everybodys.
You are free to use it and fill the empty slots.
 Making a COPY to created your own design and form... or whatever, but of your own of course.
I will asking you one thing is to let the original file in the way that I did, this is also the way that I am working.
I will said we have to categories of FO's.
One that will stay on the list because a mod will be created.
One that we will make only some  test.
So I recommand to fill the empty slots and writing the date, we dont need to know who use the file, only that the FO's are used now. 
This is only to avoid to  your own risk to have some mistakes in the future, in case you download a mod already on the CMMODs or on the forum, thid is not a must, this is only an information and nothing else.
I am open to yours comments suggestions...
JM

The old mod was really already complet, a good job from our friend,
(The Magician @LongLeftFlank ), very nice atmostphere with the palms...
You dont want say too much but, the true is, you want to build a fortress in the front of the palms, and you fail... 🙃, yes CM or blender surprise us, sometime with the result !
Perhaps the polygon count is too low as, currently, the helmet isn't very smooth?
Ok I will check what I can do !
JM

So they look a little differents as the first pic but now they are good resized but to apply dds textures oh Got o Got.
I propose yours textures and my chinstrap and perhpas the helmet...😆
Helmet will be with or without chinstraps with or without protection for the sun !
 
They are not finish !
Opinion reclamation...

No it's the original bitmap too... plus it seems to be accurate.

Well I spent a few hours today going through the old mods & transferring or tweaking the Japanese. This is where we are now...

... which is a considerable improvement over the concept videos.
I've a few more things to tidy up & sort out but we're basically already at an early alpha stage (which i'll release soon).

Hehe a word a sign and Harry do the rest, very nice man !
Happy that some human have a heart for animals.
Just a word about FOs name.
With the time and news creation of FO's for everybodys of us I think this will be interresting to keep a document words or exel with used FO's.
Imagine the fiasco when we are using the same name for another object from another author and rename it when a mod is already installed?
I am busy now to completed an exel doc with all FOs available in all CM series, that I have, with FOs that are present in folder but also not present in the editor, also the ones  personly I am used, if interrested I will
share it when is done.
JM

This is a very sensible suggestion, though not sure how it could be administered. You're right though JM we will probably suffer chaotic scenes. Definitely useful having a list of what people have done.

I would like to see the face of your next complete mod, hope that you include all what you saw us here !!
never be tired to see yours screenshots !
JM

I've updated the trains and engine, giving them better textures to fit the mod better:





New Box Car as the model was intended... BTW I can't texturise the roofs, they just turn the top into a stretched mess...shame but no biggy.

 

"Stiffy" on the road ahead! WTF? 😅 Quick "draft" (yet lacking accessories) of the revived horse combined with (russian) cart1 named cart2 (in CMFB flavor objects - cart) So this is a CMFB test object. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jsb21psk24anepk/RHZ Horse cart flavor2.zip?dl=0

and it´s beeing considered an obstacle. Vehicles will go around it.

unless you find objects readily rigged with skeleton and bones etc. And then get them to compatible MDS format. Haha...😜 But the stiff one is worth a try maybe.
 
thanks to all our nice info exchange and sharing tips & tricks. Think it just can get better as long as we keep improving knowledge and skills this way. 😎 Imagine BFC would release the info beeing asked for since a decade or so. Modding scene would´ve exploded already....  💣💥 ... and the game series popularity likely as well.

Yeah, if we are gonna find a solution to the mds and animations it would be in one of these older games. Some a still active. That guy that I mentioned to you previously is still doing stuff, so might be able to offer you some advice.
Hehe. It's all good. Nigel's trying out Blender as well now, so there's one more of us. There are definitely some folks lurking around who know a bit about this stuff as well. I just wish BF would get on and release BN on Steam as that will attract a lot of new people who might also be willing to have a go.

Milka der zarte versuchung...
JM

I will not be sure seeing all stuffs that you Harry and nigel were doing for a week ago !!!
JM

JM

well we are already with good intentions...if only we could manage anim and added some...I will check tomorrow in another game like Napoleonic or something else perhaps older games were using the same anim names like mds for Return Castle Wolfenstein, let us hope ??
JM

Horse & Carts =  idea! @JM Stuff ?
we could do it now with carts but horses will not have anim like @NPye with his loco ! 😊
JM

a little more and you can created also annimations... and created early wars I check already for the horse sounds 😝 !
JM

Thanks you @Lt Bull to post, my blame, here, you can find Ideas Opinions and Projects that we can discuss about, also members can eventual explain what they would like to see, I will put my brain to realised it.   When stuffs are ready I shake hand to Bootie to put on the correct place.   Sometimes things in the link in my signature but this has to be updated, sorry for this inconvenience.   I try that all is ready for Christmas with news wrecks packs in the model of the RTPk1 already on CMMODs for Allied, Axes, and Civilians or mixed vehicles and stuffs.   @RockinHarry, found that we can added  now not 9 Flavour objects (FOs), but 16, where a mod of buttons created from himself, is necessary to see all categories of FOs available, that I recommand to everybodys to download it, and say thank you, Harry also for the link.   This is a huge job, and I need more time to realized it, but I m never without, news ideas, so, just wait...   Bigs Packs will come for :   CMBN, FI, FB, RT, CW, BS, nothing this time for SF2, but is perhaps possible to pick up some stuffs, from BS, or CW, for Russian material minimum, any Ideas?   Thanks again to all yours supports guys.    Voila voila   JM  

News today
 
 
Comming back to another older project, that I try to present you, no  it's not a railroad, but a new attempt to create tank tracks with flavors objects, they will be only valid for all other tiles, except all streets in CM, which will have a separate mod I have already done
this is only a try not sure if this will work !
I don't know why, I always have the view on and off from objects, appearing and disappearing, when I'm close to the flavor objects, like show in the video.
The tracks are double because I think that more as two vehicles will not "enter" in the same print tracks, but probably this give confusion on the view of a map...?!
Sorry for the poor quality of the video and how I try to succeed in showing something correct.
Others must come, like the print of some wheeled vehicles !
I hope it will work
 
JM
