Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Cool.....Is there any way to disable/remove their night vision gear and such like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'm using transparent decoy bitmaps for the NVGs and sunglasses, but I'll probably turn them into grenades [smoke+frag] clipped onto their webbing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I was thinking more of their effects in game, I believe some of the Ukrainian units still rely on the Mk.1 Eyeball, but everything else seems to have NVG across the board. Fascinated to see where you go with this, as I've said elsewhere, the CM engine seems well suited to the Vietnam conflict and it's one that I'd very much like to see covered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Have you tried the xnt Africa and Tropical Pacific Mods available for CMSF - am hoping they may work in CMBN(??) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 There are also some good looking wood and bamboo bunkers. The mod has buildings as well. But due to new versions of CM2, the mods need to be redone as some no longer work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photobucket is now holding all screenshot 3rd party hosting hostage for a $400 a year ransom. Nothing grandfathered in. However I see many people still have screenshots on this thread. What are you using? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I have never been a fan of a CM-Vietnam. But, there are some CMSF scenarios that use mods for the African jungle and also Pacific and they were very enjoyable to play. So... hope you can design a comprehensive Pacific Area/Island mod that would be good for WW2 (as well as Vietnam and also modern re possible Chinese/Korean conflict). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) The URL on that image says Photobucket, I guess TFO has a full account with them.....Picturetrail still offer hosting IIRC (I've got a couple of accounts for modelling), but the images are small and the hosting limit is tiny. In other words I'd welcome some suggestions on this front too. PS - Just signed up with Imgur: http://imgur.com/ Yup.....That works, dead easy too! PS - Forgot to say, cracking work on the NVA uniform TFO, very impressive indeed. Edited July 19, 2017 by Sgt.Squarehead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I decided to host my images for posing on my own web site using Piwigo gallery. I now have that running on my site and I am using the extension Piwigo2Img to generate [ IMG ] tags or [ URL ] tags for insertion into posts. That gives me a solution nearly as easy as Photo Bucket but totally under my control. My hosting service offers support for Piwgo gallery so the install was a piece of cake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOS:96B2P Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Test Well .................. I have a new system to learn. imgur. I shall return. Edited July 19, 2017 by MOS:96B2P 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrTom Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I use Imgur too. I insert images one of two ways 1. I'm lazy and "copy image address" from the image on imgur and paste it here. The forum software converts it to an image embed automagically. 2. I'm not lazy and "copy image address" from the image on imgur and insert an "h" "l" [Lima] "m" or "s" at the end of the filename to use the thumbnail. E.g. "http://i.imgur.com/NwQOIk6.png" pasted will automatically turn into an embedded full-size image hotlinked to Imgur. http://i.imgur.com/NwQOIk6h.png displays a huge thumbnail, while http://i.imgur.com/NwQOIk6m.png shows a medium thumbnail. I can then edit it in the editor here to link to the full res image like the first link 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What choices did you use to get such a big screenshot? I used BBCode (message boards & forums) with huge thumbnail which resulted in the big rectangle a few posts up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) TBH I'm old school, I just right clicked on the image in my Imgur homepage, selected 'properties' then copied/pasted the URL to the text window here.....A quick look at the code suggests that the 'Direct Link' is the one you need.
