Eastern Europe! Yes, just yesterday I was doing some snow modding of the clay tile roofs on those files.

BarabricCo showed me a new technique and I am trying to learn from the professor.

Hey Jacob! PM me with your e-mail address and I will invite you to a dropbox and we can do a H2H snow battle?

[BarbaricCo]

Hi Kohlenklau! Don't worry, it is not disturbing. I'm just missing some roofs for Eastern Europe. Enjoying myself tremendously, so take your time.

Yes. Complete Eastern Europe roofs are on the schedule list for update. But we got all  of the nice roofs in Mother Russia!

Kohlenklau, BarbaricCo,

Adds a huge amount. What would we do without you guys?

 

Don’t stop now.. more, more.. !!!

Thanks,

All the best,

More, more, more… ringing in our heads.

Koh! What more can we give to the people for holidays, beside snow?

 

What are the holidays without Falling Snow!

 

 

 

You can download CMRT Winter Mod Snow shaders from updated CMRT Winter Mod Dropbox 3 link  (expires Januray 1st 2016.) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6wdug2pzj4842ll/AADTsX5G20iHBTGGU8yybJs1a?dl=0

 

 

There is no falling snow in CMRT. Those shaders only change the look of the rain particles and rain weather conditions. They do not simulate physical behaviour of snow particles. “Background rain.wav” is a mix of CMRT default “background fog.wav” and “background wind.wav” to simulate sound of snowy conditions. It replaces CMRT default “background rain.wav”.

 

For “real snow” You will have to wait till official Winter Mod Pack.

 

Thanks

Barbaricco, what horizon mod do you use in your Winter Mod Siege movie?

[kevinkin]

Here is a link to a Dropbox folder containing three battles designed with the CMRT Winter Mod in mind. They are semi-historical, small and quick to play. Each of three winters are covered, post-Moscow, post-Stalingrad, and Cherkassy. They will also be over at the Scenario Depot at some point so the Dropbox link will remain active until then.

Frozen Rope (Kholm '42)
Happy New Year Major Bake (Stalingrad '43)
A Lot too Late (Cherkassy '44)

Based on feedback, these battles will be updated. You will be able to note newer files by version numbers.

Many thanks for the CMRT Winter Mod by kohlenklau and BarbaricCo. 

So on to a winter of east front goodness ...

Barbaricco, what horizon mod do you use in your Winter Mod Siege movie?

Original horizons are I think Aris work for kohlenklau Bulge project. 
I just modify levels/ contrast and include them for use with War Movie ADVANCED (Alt-M) mod (in Dropbox 3 folder).

But default CMRT horizons can work very well. They just need little winterizing. On schedule list.

 

Glad that you enjoying Winter Mod.

Winter wonderland! Looking good, Kevin. Can't thank you guys enough for all your work.

[kevinkin]

I am beginning another thread focusing on scenarios using the winter mod. We can discuss these and others as they are produced. It will also be a great place to re-discover those cold - lost battles that Sargent Schulz fear most about ...  Kevin

Just downloaded all these mods tonight. Absolutely amazing work guys. I think I'll try to pump out a little scenario to make sure this stuff gets put to use. One question though, I can't seem to find the Panzer IVs anywhere in the Dropbox 3 folders; am I blind or have they been pulled?

[kohlenklau]

I am slowly trying to improve my winter whitewash look so please be patient.

Here are the latest versions of the Panzer IV's needed for Kevin's "Happy New Year Major Bake" scenario.

When I finally have them the best I can, I will upload to cmmods3.

Thanks for the quick response :), I've finished with the two CMBN scenarios I've been making, so I can get something going here soon, I think.

Work in Progress so far. Will be geared towards H2H.

Early December 1943, the Winter of 1943 has just arrived on the 1st Ukrainian Front; the deep freeze has hardened the ground and has made maneuvering for both sides far easier. The Russians having taken Kiev in November, the Germans have launched into a series of desperate counterattacks. In this sector however, the Russian assault continues to drive towards cutting Army Group South off from Center. 

Somewhere near Zhitomir, a Russian assault group is tasked with cutting the Rail-line that sits near some no-name Hamlet. Both sides have thrown in heavy reinforcing firepower to achieve their objectives. Both sides are highly motivated as well, the Germans realize the danger of the closing jaws and have no wish to be encircled, while the 1st Ukrainian Front are buoyed by their success in taking Kiev so swiftly and resisting German efforts to retake it. The high motivation of troops on both sides, coupled with above average indirect fire support (both sides have at least 2 batteries) in such a small space will likely result in a costly effort.

^{The general overview, from the German lines looking towards the Soviet's.}

^{The Soviet's supporting armor will arrive along this road, and will be stuck on it until they clear the heavy treeline. The Russian player needs to make every pain to secure an exit for their armor before then.}

^{Soviet's left flank, low ground has accumulated snow. The ground is gently sloping with slight ravines breaking it up. The rail-line is raised and will be an important point to take.}

Rail-Crossing

^{Ukraine isn't all open step. Historically this sector had a lot of small Balkas and large swathes of forest.}

@BarbaricCo and @kohlenklau  and @kevinkin

This has truly been an excellent labor of love...or at least mild obsession..

I posted a reply in the CMBS forum after seeing some guys load the terrain mods in CMBS...does this mean that the terrain mods are not mod tagged? or whatever the technical term is?

I would love to load them up and use them for some CMRT or CMBS QB.

Thanks for doing this...really awesome.

Rinaldi, hi,

 

Looks great. Look forward to it..

 

Battle for the Ukraine not only fits well with the mod but also one of the more interesting phases of the war.

 

All the best,

kip.

 

 

[kipanderson]

Grunt_GI, hi,

 

Short answer is yes.. you can swap about terrain from title to title. Normally, sometimes.

 

So if you look at say the terrain in the Winter Mod, in your data folder, you may find some type of vegetation say..  branches [snow].bmp  as the title/name to one of the graphics.

 

The Mod is the [snow] part. If you now go to the Editor in CMRT. Down the left hand side you want “Mission” from the drop down menu. Click on “description” from the list below Mission.

 

At the very bottom of the list below you will now see Mod Tag.  Click that and you will see that you can Clear away a Mod Tag or Import a new one.

 

A Mod Tag is just a pure, standard text file with say “snow” in the top right hand corner, i.e. in the this case just one word…  snow   .. that has been saved to the Scenarios folder in CMRT. When you click Import under Mod Tags the CMRT goes to the scenarios folder and just shows the text files therein for you to choose from. You can then select any one you wish, view it on screen there and then, keep it by Saving the scenario or Clear it away and try another.

 

Feel free to ask any more questions.. in truth the manual is a little weak on Mod Tags. I think you will find more in the new Bulge manual when released. Simply too much to cover for the first versions of the manual.

 

Good luck,

All the best,

Kip.

I guess what I was trying to ask...and not doing very well at it, is that these mods can only be used in USER made CMBS scenarios using the proper mod tags...they WON'T work in CMBS QBs?
