A quick and simple mod dedicated to russian uniforms.
I kept the base files but changed the saturation of the colors and corrected a bug about missing texture near the top shoulders.

Vanilla:

 
Modded:

Another try, this time I also added one layer of light brownish mud on the lower parts, 1 layer of frsh mud sprinkles and 1 layer of small rusty scratches all over the vehicle.
 
I also started experimenting with the normal maps on vehicles, and forcing them to be a bit extreme you can effectively perceive the difference in game... standard normal maps are quite "conservative" so to say, if you make them deeper and enhance the effect you can get quite strong results...
 
 

More mud shall be then, on the lower parts.
it is very hard to pin point weathering positions and go in detail because most of the textures are stretched.
 
 
Imperial, unfortunately modular buildings have no special destroyed or "half" destroyed walls, it's either complete or with that hole that is the same, as you noticed, for every facade.

Modding vehicles takes a lot of time, because each must be tailored with care.
 
BTR, if you release a mod of yours I might try to add weathering, unless you do some already. Because I personally like the effect on CM vehicles.
 
 
First attempt on a T-64BV, very few layers, just some rain stains and light dusts. 
 
What's your opinion? Should the vehicles display more weathering? less weathering? What kind of?
 
Modded:

 
Vanilla for comparison:

Next in line is Bulat.
First attempt at a camouflage version:
yet to be done the turret and the black spots.

I get some password check when I try to open the downloaded file. No such problems with any of you previous mods.

Kieme CMBS BTR-4e
 
The 3-tone digital camo applies to this vehicle because it's the most advanced as the Oplot, and the only remaining UA vehicle that could display it without too much commotion. Intensive weathering for the lower parts, usual for the rest.
Enhanced normal maps included.

I've found this excerpt to be shockingly relevant these days:
 

Kieme CMBS BMP-2-k UA
 
A mod for both BMP-2 and BMP-2k in UA ranks. This time I went for a quite strong weathering, because these vehicles are used by infantry too.
The base color was slightly changed to be a bit darker.
Enhanced normal maps as usual.

Kieme CMBS T-64 Bulat
 
another kind of 3-tone camouflage for the Bulat, the usual weathering, a bit stronger this time for the grunt T-64...
enhanced normal maps included.

I noticed this BTR-4 driver doesn't seem too impressed with my plan... he had a bit of close call with a BMP-3. Surprisingly not even injured. They went over his shoulder, past the gunners leg, and out the back of the vehicle without injuring anyone with spall or damaging anything important.

Kieme CMBS T-84 Oplot
 
a 3-tone digital camouflage version for the T-84 Oplot, light weathering representing small scratches, paint shades, rain marks, dust, dirt, mud splashes.
Tracks modified to represent rubber-padded version.
Enhanced normal maps.

I'm glad siljanus, speaking of glaring... close your eyes for the next one then...
 
Weathering pending.
 

 
I had to avoid some areas (like front mudguards) because of the stretching effects. Got enough areas covered to make the camo complete.

I got the vest/plate carrier done but after many attempts with making matching pouches said to hell with it (most pics i've seen have mixed matched pouches anyway). so just have to add the shoulder patch and pockets at this point.
 

 
In the mean time made some quick helmet covers to give the UKR digital troops a rag tag look. flavors are ucp, a-tacs fg, multicam, socom...

please see previous replies in this thread.

These are my V3 flames. I think I made them soon after CMRT came out.

Recall topic, here is a list of all the mods released until now, complete with download links.
 
Please be careful to distinguish High Definition (HD) and Standard versions (where not specified, consider it a Standard version). 
 
HD mods are made using textures 2 times larger, in resolution, than the original game files, providing a much detailed view effect at close distance at the expense of computer resource usage, therefore HD mods can slow down your computer and should be used only if you have good FPS (frames per second); in case you can try to use them and see if your machine doesn't slow down too much.
Standard versions are there for those with less powerful computers, being of the very same resolution as the original textures they have no effect on FPS. There's no other difference between Standard and HD mods but for the resolution.
Please note that there's no ground mod standard version as per now, because it will take quite some work to be done well and for now it's not a priority.
 
There are no new mods on this list, so be sure to download what you need or missed. Please browse this forum thread if you look for more information and previews.

Plans for next mods:
Vehicles!
Personally, I am very fond of the base color for Ukrainian vehicles, and I wouldn't change it too much. Weathering should be added to all vehicles, not too intense though.
Some vehicles might be Worth alternative camouflage (T-64 Bulat, T-84 Oplot).
US vehicles have a very nice camouflage already, they should get some weathering as well.
Russian vehicles, a mess. I really don't like most of the base colors, and might be waiting for BTR's mods before doing anything with them.
 
Infantry!
No intentions to mod infantry or uniforms. I feel like weapons could be weathered a bit to make them less "toy" like. otherwise I really like the uniforms, might be nice to add some of Aris' faces from other CM games. 
I might desaturate russian camouflage, but that's just a personal taste.
 
Independent buildings!
Some of them are ok, some are not for me. I'd like to mod those but it takes a lot of time. Tanks a Lot barns should fit CMBS as well (the large ones for sure). It's Worth to try a port.
 
Bridges!
Could use a lot of love, tried modding them, but it takes a lot of time. Might do the road ones just for the sake of adding the same road type of the modded roads.
 
Flavor objects!
Yeah, not much to notice here, but the larger objects could use higher resolution textures.
 
More modular buildings!
add-on number 2 is already half ready, 4 more buildings which will bring the total to 16 options if creating a new scenario.
Another version of the modular buildings, with "combat effects", should be added as a [Tagged] version.
 
Highway!
Highway Tiles could be modded, but in my opinion the only good highway is the one going NS and EW... I could try to port a [tagged] mod to use those Tiles for airport and military installation scenarios.

Hehe, presence of tanks is another con against having stripes on the roads.
 
A preview of the modular roofs, mod ready at 25%:
 
Vanilla roof:

 
Modded roof:

Kieme CMBS modular roofs pt. 1 mod
 
After a test I noticed that doubling the resolution was not giving much visual impact, that's why I decided to go with the standard definition version, therefore this mod does not affect game performance.
I will surely make a standard definition version for the modular buildings mod too as soon as the roofs are finished.
This mod covers the "high angle" roofs in game, lower angle ones will come in part 2 (flat roofs covered by buildings mod already)

Changelog:
-new roofs (2 ceramic tiles, 3 metal plates)
-new gables (2 cinder blocks, 1 wood, 2 concrete)
-new damaged versions
 
Previews:

Yeah, teleporter equipped OPFOR reinforcements have been a problem since CMSF. It is one of the most difficult parts of scenario designing to guess right on where the player could be at the moment the reinforcements arrive.
 
Look what happened the last time i played the british CMSF campaign:

 

 
Captain Achmed to Enterprise! Scotty, beam down some more Jihadis!

Similar to my mods for CMSF. Replacement 'choral' music with news snippets mixed in. Mods the intro, loading and end music.
 
Also includes a splash (screenie below)
