Mord Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I seem to be missing some. Is this happening to anyone else? I am running 2.12. I didn't notice this before hand but it may have been this way. I installed both 2.11 and 2.12 without any mods in the z folder. I get this problem using mods and without using them. I was hoping you guys could check your game before I do any more investigating to see if it is something that was introduced in a patch.

Buzz Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Yes. I have the same Lynx Texture issues with and without mods. Mac and I am running 2.12. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Must have something to do with the mdr files then, seeing that mods don't help it out. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Very strange. I'm also running 2.12 and don't have that. Stranger still is that my Lynx has completely different textures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanir Ausf B Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 How do you get the tri-color camo Lynx? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 @Phil, I am running the PC version. @Vanir, LOL I don't know seems they've always been that way. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 How the heck can we be running the same version of the same game and have different textures? Well, at least mine work 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Just checked. I don´t have any problems with the Lynx (with mods) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Does your Lynx look like mine or Mord's? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offshoot Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I've checked using the CMBN editor and my Lynx is fine (on a PC; it looks like Vanir's). The Lynx is a CMFI model and although I have patched CMFI as well as CMBN, I do not have Gustave Line. I couldn't actually find the Lynx in the CMFI editor though - anyone know where it is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umlaut Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Does your Lynx look like mine or Mord's? Mine looks like yours - when I have removed my mods. On a PC running win XP. Which is a bit strange as it definitely looked like Mords when I had just installed CW. I wonder if the difference could be that Mord perhaps didn´t install the 2.00 upgrade? (just guessing) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Mord, I think umlaut is on to something. I did a complete CMBN/CW/MG reinstall from Ground Zero and managed to forget the 2.0 Upgrade, and had many graphic anamolies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Well, there does seem to be an anomaly here. I clicked the exe in the actual CMBN folder (not Desktop) and the other Lynx showed up but was missing the same textures. What I have noticed is that 2.0 does not overwrite the Desktop icon when it installs (I don't think the last patch did either). I end up with two...I think I deleted the newer one. That may be the problem. I'll uninstall and do a full reinstall and report back what happens. But I know I installed 2.0, I was very careful.

MikeyD Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 The Lynx had been thoroughly updated with new model and skins in an early post-Commonwealth patch. What that looks like is the unupdated original texture. Do you have the full set of patch updates in place? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Pretty sure I do. I was very careful about going in order. I spent probably 45 minutes installing. But I'll do as stated above and then at least I'll know I am starting with a clean install. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I just rez-exploded the patch 'Normandy v111.brz ' and looked inside. That's where the updated correct Lynx textures and model are. I can see from your screenshot that you've got the v2.0 normal map shaders in place. I suspect the v1.11 patch may be the culprit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Ok. So I reinstalled everything and it seems to be working fine. I have a suspicion/question. All the way up to MG, during installation, when I'd click the box to add a desktop shortcut, the old one on my desktop would be replaced. But with MG and 2.12 the install creates a completely new shortcut so I end up with two. The original called "CM Battle for Normandy" and the new one, "Launch CMBN battle for Normandy". Last time around (when I had the problem with the Lynx) I deleted the newest "Launch CMBN..." Could it be that the older shortcut was somehow pointing to a previous version and screwing up the textures? Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 AFAIK, not unless you have the game installed incorrectly. Note that the latest versions create a new "Activate" shortcut on the desktop using the same icon, but that is not for launching the game. That may be what you are seeing. As Mikey has noted, the most likely problem is that you skipped v1.11 during installation and so are missing the updated Lynx model. Can you confirm whether or not the v1.11 .brz is in your Data folder? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Interesting. On a Mac here. Had same missing Lynx textures and there is no v1.11 .brz in my Data folder! I purchased "CMBN_Commonwealth_Bundle_Mac.dmg" can I grab v1.11 .brz from the disk image and apply it w/o clean install? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 It was putting both on the desktop, "activate" and "Launch CMBN Battle For Normandy". The previous icons up until MG were titled "CM battle for Normandy" Yeah, the 1.11 is loaded. The only other thing that may have happened is that when I exploded all the brz's (back during the previous install) I might have moved the 1.11 brz instead of copying it to the rez explode folder. Another issue I have noticed on three installs in a row, is that up until I install 1.11, infantry won't show up. But that's a whole 'nother issue. Normally I would suspect Norton but I have it down now and it doesn't scan anything to do with CM. At this stage everything seems to be ok.

MikeyD Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Usually (always?) a patch will involve a new BRZ for the Data folder and an updated game and module exe. Overwriting the game and module exe is something you want to avoid when trying to patch out of sequence. Especially with the big 2.0 upgrade between v1.11 and the latest. A possible solution might be to copy the entire game folder, apply the v1.11 patch to the copy, then move the 1.11 BRZ to the original and delete the game copy. That way you get the v1.11 brz without inadvertently overwriting anything you don't want to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
