Thanks Erwin. I know that Worghern has an environment mod but I wasn't aware he had one specifically for buildings. Also his activity on his profile only appears to go up 5/16 ? A.

Hi, Could someone please point me in the direction of any decent building mods for CMFB, similar to Kieme's CMBS building mods (I love the detail)? A.

Yes, unfortinately down. Can we get a reup, pretty please?

Hi Ironsturm, Sorry - didn't realise there had been a response! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that and report back. A.

Hello, I also have a question relating to sound mods. I have Waclaw's HQS 2.4 CMBS sound mod (which is awesome!), but I wanted to add some of my own American Voices to the already existing ones. I've renamed WAV files to correspond with the appropriate category - for example <american move contact 17.wav> is the last numbered mod by Waclaw in that specific category, so I have now added 18, 19, 20 etc (named correctly) to that list and yet they never appear to play in-game. It appears that all of the WAV files I have added don't seem to work. I hope that makes sense. I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. Any ideas/suggestions would be most welcome. A.

Thanks Rocketman - I'll check that. Cheers! A.

Hullo. Hope someone can help. Can someone tell me why the special editor overlay will work on 1 of my bmp images and not the other, please? (See attached image) The 1 on the left fades to black when activating the overlay, while the 1 on the right works perfectly. For both images I converted a screenshot to bmp with an online tool. I do not believe I did anything different. The only difference is the greater MB for the image that does work. Thanking you in advance... A.

Hello, I'm really struggling to get the special editor overlay to work. I have taken a screenshot of a google map that I want to work with. I have converted it to bmp. I have saved it as "special editor overlay.bmp" (without quotations) and put it into my CMBS z folder. But when I go into the map maker it doesn't show up. When I toggle through opacity it gets dark and then black - it's obviously not reading the bmp file. I am on a mac (not sure if that makes a difference). What I don't understand is that I have used my overlay maps in the past. But for some reason it's not working now. What am I doing wrong? Help/advice would be really appreciated. A.

Thank you very much! A.

Hello, Could someone point me in the right direction to the winter mod "Winter Modification Mod designed by the WMT for CMRT". I've looked through CMMODSIII and although I see lots of winter mods I can't find one by WMT? Thanks in advance.

Will this work with Combat Mission BS?

In the read-me file it says it works for CMRT, CMBN, CMFI, & CMBS. I tried it with CMFB and it works the same. I also tried BarbaricCo's War Movie Advanced (which also works for CMFB) but I prefer FXShine. When combined with Worghen's work it looks great. Let me know if you get these working with yours.

To be fair, I have no idea if this is down to the setup of my mac or not? I'm not computer savvy enough! I bought a top-of-the-range Macbook Pro Retina a couple years back. With this mac I've never had any issues with mods - sounds or otherwise. I'm using Worghen's environment mod too, alongside BarbaricCo's FXShine and it looks fantastic with CMFB. Shame us Mac-Users can't use Sweet-FX, but hey, can't have everything!

When you say sound mods don't work with mac, what do you mean? I have a mac and use Waclaws WW2 sound mods for CMFB and it works perfectly.

These looks amazing! Well done! I'm currently using BarbaricCo's FXshine mod for CMFB which for me has improved the game. Perhaps a newb question/pondering here, but I'm wondering what the two will look like when combined?

Oh I see! Sorry! I was being a total numpty! Cheers Pete!

Hi Pete. Thanks for your response. Sorry, I don't think I was very clear in my question. It's the "church models" I want to toggle between. How do I do that?

Hi guys, Apologies if this has a simple answer but I can't seem to find it on the boards or in the CM manual. I'm trying to build my own scenario. But how do I toggle through different versions of independent buildings? I've added a church but it doesn't look like how I want it to look - e.g. with spires etc. I've tried various key combinations and clicking with the mouse but to no avail. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello everyone! The other day I was driving through my home city and thinking about CMBS (as you do!). And as I drove I was looking at the variety of buildings on display and how they are all different shapes and sizes, often curved and following the bends of the street, and I thought to myself "wouldn't it be cool to have a modern city environment like this in CMBS"... I.e. Buildings of a great variety of shapes and sizes, different architectures (a mix of modern and old) that follow the curves of streets. Offices and shops. And what about huge built-up industrial areas with massive factories? I have also been watching the seminal 1970s documentary series The World At War (if you haven't seen it, you should!), specifically the episode on Stalingrad and the grim fighting amongst the rubble and destroyed buildings - I thought here too, wouldn't it be cool to have a destroyed city to fight within, where your troops can take shelter amongst broken walls and buildings, hide within a dilapidated factory? A sniper in the broken buildings... I guess the question I am posing - is it possible to mod the buildings in this way? With the greatest respect, many of the stock buildings are quite basic and follow the same patterns in the shape of a square. I would love to have a battle in a realistic city, with restaurants, cafes, and factories, where the architecture is diverse. Or is this too complicated and beyond the game engine/graphics capabilities? Just wondering... Yours... A.

That did it. Thanks very much!

Sorry, newb here. Can someone walk me through the installation step by step. I don't have an option in the installer to put it into the CMRT folder. It just installs it into applications next to the base game. I realise I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what.

Thanks for clarifying everything for me Buzz. You're awesome! And thanks for your patient responses to all involved parties. Oh and Jammersix, I admire how stubborn and determined you are, but I do think you might consider capitulating on this one, eh? I'm looking forward to the mac updates for CM:BN, and CM:FI. Can't wait to be able to get into a proper campaign! Thanks all. A. "-)

Okay... so to update my situation: I bought Red Thunder a few days back. Now as I said before I suffer from the 36% hang on all of the games I have bought so far (it won't load large maps, or large troop numbers etc). However, so far Red Thunder loads perfectly on the biggest maps and with the largest armies. It feels like a miracle! I've been having HUGE battles, which I've never been able to do in the other games. I was just wondering why that could be? What's the difference between Red Thunder and the other games? Also I've noticed today that the 3.0 patch is now available for PC, and in the description it reads the following... "This includes features you may already know and enjoy in Combat Mission: Red Thunder and makes them available for Normandy and Italy!" Now is there something in the programming of Red Thunder that makes it more stable? Hopefully this means that the coming MAC update will, like others here suggest, stabilise the games overall and I can get down to the serious business of large scale battles in Normandy and Italy, etc... Thoughts....?

Hullo. So, are you suggesting that, despite my mac ticking all the system requirements, I have been sold a game that is incompatible with my operating system? That would then suggest that I have been sold a dud, an incomplete game; for Combat Mission has been designed and marketed as being both a PC *and* a mac game. I don't know where the problem lies, whether it's Battlefront or Apple, but I do hope that this gets sorted sooner rather than later. I would be interested to know exactly how many people have been affected by the 36% hang/crash.

I have a top of the range macbook pro with all the trimmings (cost me a fortune!), and I also have the majority of the CM games (I absolutely love them). And yet, despite having a top notch mac, and despite adapting my settings, I have the issue of the 36% hang across many of the games I own. For example none of the mountainous terrains in Fortress will load. It's frustrating as I will start a Campaign, only to find 2-3 episodes in, I can't continue, which has just happened again with SF. Does anyone know, will there be an update/fix for this soon?
