ridethe415 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 These are cool. Is there someway you can list all the mods in one location? Otherwise I have to hunt through all the post pages to see what is new and what I may or may not have. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panzersaurkrautwerfer Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Is there any way to add our own tank names? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Is there any way to add our own tank names? I've just added 'Creeping Death'. Just open up the file in paintshop (or photo editing software of your choice) and select the stencil font. Just paint the name in the same place as the others (using Kiemes' original 'no name' bmp file). I selected the layer properties as 'overlay'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonwynn Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Abrams looks awesome Kieme. I enjoyed all your mods for CMSF and you are out doing yourself on these. Thanks again for taking the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Great work Kieme. Will the tank nicknames also work with stock textures or can they only be ued with your other mods? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Also great job on the random ERA tiles on the bradley. Looks a bit like digital camo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieme(ITA) Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Sure you can add your own tank names. As a reference I used font size 20, light grey color, all capital letters. This is a link to the (free) font I used, it's quite similar to the original used by the US Army: http://it.fonts2u.com/browning.carattere Follow the instructions inside the download to install it. Be sure to name the files correctly adding progressive numbers or sbustituting the numbers of the mod. As regarding the mods to download, you should find recalling topics with a list of released mods, for example this one: http://community.battlefront.com/topic/117795-kiemes-modding-corner/?p=1585353 all these mods are compatible with each other and others' mods like sound mods, tactical icon mods, force background mods etc. Edited February 18, 2015 by Kieme(ITA) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Great work Kieme. Will the tank nicknames also work with stock textures or can they only be ued with your other mods? Sure they will; you will have an M1A2 with some dirt on the gun, the front and back side skirts (under the ERA) and the front lower hull, the rest of the tank will retain the vanilla textures. Otherwise you can use the original texture and add your own names as described before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Sorry guys have to ask I love the new textures BUT so many download links. Which ones to download? All of them! Do what I did: start at the end of the thread and move backwards, downloading mods as Kieme posts them. Eventually you'll come to a post that includes links to all the mods he has posted so far, so you can stop moving back at that post--everything up to that point is listed there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Kieme CMBS USA Bradley Covers all Bradley versions. Changelog: -same weathering as the Abrams -changed tracks (just delete the mod's track file if you prefer the original Brads') Download: https://app.box.com/s/3bv3t4kiy547iicvv0zd8pylvea4j763 Preview: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Kieme CMBS USA Bradley desert ERA add on This is just an option. This mod adds some ERA blocks of a different color (desert yellow). These blocks will be shown on each Bradley in a random fashion, thus making each vehicle different. The texture for desert blocks has been imported from the old CMSF. If you like the concept, it creates sort of a camouflage.

Kieme(ITA) Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Kieme CMBS USA Bradley graffiti add on This is another option for the Bradley. This mod will add a funny hand-written graffiti on the back ramp of each vehicle. There are 23 different short phrases of various kind that will show up randomly on Bradleys in game.

agusto Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Sure they will; you will have an M1A2 with some dirt on the gun, the front and back side skirts (under the ERA) and the front lower hull, the rest of the tank will retain the vanilla textures. Otherwise you can use the original texture and add your own names as described before. Ok, thanks, i made a mod that adds barrel names to the vanilla textures. I mostly used the names from your mod and added a few of my own, hope you are ok if i upload it anyways. Adding the names was easier than i thought. However, i do have a aproblem: 1) the game seems to only use the textures 1 to 4. 5 to 40 are not used. 2) at longer ranges the names change. At 20 meters, the tanks name is "Absolute Death, at 60 it becomes "Godfather". Any idea what i could do to fix this?

panzersaurkrautwerfer Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sure you can add your own tank names. Sweet. I'll give it a whirl once I figure out how to make mods work in the first place! (reading manual, part of my brain just isn't quite wrapping around it!) Tank/IFV name addendum: 1. The name is supposed to match the Company the tank belongs to. Given that tank companies now only exist as the second two line companies in a Combined Arms Battalion, I hope you like C and D names (I went with Darwinian Selector myself). There's H names too, but that's generally the Battalion Commander's tank. 2. Bradleys if they have names (this is uncommon) have them across the rear bustle rack under those ammo cans. Infantry companies in a CAB (so all Bradley infantry companies) are all A or B companies (most awkward name combo goes to "Beast" and "Beastmaster" in the same platoon) 3. Tanks are rarely un-named as a rule. Bradleys are rarely named, but there's nothing forbidding it. 4. Some units buck the names having to follow the A/B/C/D convention entirely, and especially when it comes to deploying, a vehicle might be "Dauntless" in the motorpool, but "Murder Inc" when it's about to cross the berm into crapastan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the info Panzer, the only limit we must keep in mind with CMBS is that the vehicle names are 100% random, this means that if you have 2 companies, or tanks from 2 companies, the names will mix. If you have single vehicles picked they will have mix names. If you want to try a 100% realistic combination you also should be 100% sure that you will Always have tanks from a single company. And in any case all names of one signle group, as you said, with the same starting letter. The font I posted a link of should be very similar to the original one. As a start find out the correct .bmp file, then put the names on the gun tube using paint.. you can give it a try. I could make a Bradley name add on too now that you gave me so valuable info about it. Only problem is that if I add A... names for A company, then those names will be on B company vehicles too, if I add A... and B... names they will mix... so I would skip the rule in this case too (as for the Abrams). Moreover, I wonder what kind of name should the Brads have, the same generic types as I did for the Abrams, the very same of the Abrams, or something else, I don't know, female names, animal names, or city names, for example. Guys from USA could really give good hints on this becase I am out of ideas and no native US citizen. Agusto, sure you can upload whatever you desire. I really don't know about that problem, all I can say is try to be sure about the numbering of the files, it is possible the game could flip out if something is not in order. About the names changing at a given distance, could be something related to the LOD models of the game... whenever a different LOD model is loaded (because you went too far with your camera) the game might pick another random texture... you don't notice this normally because vehicles only got 1 texture each, but if you add multiple options (such as names or markings) I belive the above might happen. Not Always though, could be either a very minor bug or an engine functionality. Edited February 19, 2015 by Kieme(ITA) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzersaurkrautwerfer Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Here's some names from my last unit's Infantry Companies Able and Ready Awesome All American Apocalypse Bieber Fever Baker Boys Beast Beastmaster Here's some tank ones from my company and our sister company Canifex Carnivore Chingon Cobra King II Cobra King was a famous World War Two tank.

Kieme(ITA) Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Thanks a lot for your help panzer! I'd like to make a Bradley nickname add on option as you pointed where with those names. By the way, some are really hilarious, like demented doctor seuss. I recognized "can't miss", which I saw before you told me from this picture: http://i59.tinypic.com/29pxeko.jpg By the way, the real names are quite better than mine, but I went for more tv and movie stuff, guess that's the wrong way as US Army personnel has more imagination than I gave thought.

panzersaurkrautwerfer Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I was somewhere within about 10 feet of the photographer when that shot was taken. I had no idea that stupid river crossing was going to generate like 90% of every M1A2 SEP v2 photo on the internet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) aha remarkable to be able to talk to someone who was there. Thanks again for your support. What do you think about this low-visibility tentative? Ouch, found a problem! Cheap BFC used the same basket texture to cover the lower part of the turret sensor... I shall move the text on the bolted plate above where it is now. Edited February 19, 2015 by Kieme(ITA) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
