bardosy Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm working on a mission about Operation Biting (Bruneval) and there was light snow when it happened in real. I thought it's impossible in Normandy, so I just forget it. But I saw in the editor, there is an option 'snow' for ground condition, but disabled. It's mean, I can enabled it somehow, or it's only available in Fortress Italy (what I have not) and infiltrate to Normandy with patch 2.0? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karabekian Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 It would be as easy to find a winter mod (check CMMODS) and a mod enabler, or simply use the Z folder. You can use a single tile of your choosing to represent snow. The menu is for FI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 The cmfi folks have just created a whole bulge mod so I would look over in their forum . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 hello bardosy, I am a Hungarian-American. hogy vagy? My family has changed their name after arriving to the US in the early 1900's. It was Pal but now it is Pall. My grandmother was from Sopron and my Grandfather was from an area that is now part of Ukraine. Thanks to Stalin I guess. I went to Budapest on my honeymoon in November 1989 just as "the wall" was falling. My wife is also Hungarian-American. Her family name was Szinai. I remember by the castle we saw 2 Soviet soldiers in greatcoats and big fur hats with AK-47's. I said, go over there and I will take your picture with them. But she was too afraid. It would have made a great photograph! Anyway, we will probably do a CMBN MG Bulge 44 mod in the latter part of this year. It will provide some mods to terrain elements so you see snow when you play the game. Maybe you can wait until then and download the mod and then enjoy the scenario you want to make. But if you cannot wait, then PM to "mjkerner" and maybe he can help you sooner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I thought someone was working on a nice CMBN winter mod pack awhile ago, before CMFI Gustav Line and its snow. Maybe the end product became unuploadable because of its huge size, but I do recall some very encouraging 'in progress' screenshots. You have to literally redo the entire terrain landscape to get it right, right down to individual blades of grass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working off a mod posted in CMMODS by...I forget ATM, but know I haven't seen him on the forums for a couple of years. Anyhow, I added a lot of flavor objects, a lot more terrain, and did new uniforms but put it aside when GL came out. I dusted it off the other day, and as that crazy Hungarian, kohlenklau says, it'll be here in a while. I need to finish getting my fix of all the MG goodness first! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Hey, mjkerner! I'm the guy who had to tackle the Gustav line snow. I recall on several occasions during the work looking at your screenshots, frowning, and thinking "I'm going to have to go back and try again. His looks better." Your work was my competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 weird! It reminds of the guy who goes back in time to stop some bad event and instead precipitates it! mjkerner modded snow and the snow we got was influenced by his mod. Rod Serling steps in at this point for a monologue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Meavon Yukypoo! 2nd generation Hungarian after my Mum left at 17 in '58 as a refugee to land in UK. Haven't poked around in the mod dept properly since CM1 but listen to MikeyD for insights but Bulge snow is in the pipeline in a new game. For the date Feb in Europe on the coast it will be more cosmetic z folder mod in what is currently available for CMBN - though precise 1942 commando force will be interesting to match. Though there was IIRC a depiction in a CMBO scenario of the raid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
