Remember to remove the mods from your z folder prior to doing any future updates (or if re-installing).

Also, Vein's animated text mod needs to always be removed (then wait for an update of it) if you use it.  It causes all sorts of graphical bugs until it gets updated.

Thanks alot for taking the time Badger, already have all you listed installed except

  • CMFI Fallschirmjäger by ezjax
  • CMFI-GL Fallschirmjäger Helmets by JorgeMC
  • US Divisional Patches_Sicily, by mjkerner

I'll get these right now.

and

  • AD CMFI Terrain Mod, by SeinfeldRules

Having already the Aris terrain, doesn't the two overlap ? Or they are just different kind of terrains ?

Also , there's a thread in the mod section by Vin, that,  other than the outstanding Italian Forced mod, presents americans and germans, but i can't find them anywhere, though people in the thread seems to be already playing with them.

I'll be grateful if someone could point me to these also.

Seen the masterful job he did with the Italians, i'm really really impatient to have these for the americans.

I installed the animated text, (i just put inside the z folder the heavy folder) though i'm struggling to understand what it does exactly and where it appears in game.

Could you please explain how does it work ? I have this installed also for FB but i guess it's not working ?

Thanks Blazing 88's

It replaces the full word text explaining what each solider in a team is doing.  When you have a unit selected there is green status text in the lower left that shows what each member of the team is doing.  It says things like "spotting", "medic", "firing", "driving" etc.  With the animated text mod installed you see an eye, a first aid cross, a smg firing, a truck respectively.  I cannot seem to find the Fortress Italy mod but the graphic for the CMFB version shows this fairly clearly: http://cmmodsiii.greenasjade.net/?p=3694

LOL, didn't realize it was that. Pretty helpful indeed. Having never played without it, i supposed it was basic interface stuff. 

I expected something over the soldier's heads... who knows why...that perhaps whould have been too fancy.

Not sure if it's mentioned above, but the mod that gives full-color weapons as well as their caliber and range is invaluable.  However, there does not seem to be such a mod updated for CMFB and not at all for CMBS.  (If weapon caliber and range mods for those exist puhleeeze let me know.)

I think what Erwin refers too, is included in "Mord's and JuJu's unified UI Mod". That one is certainly a "must have".

Thanks for the links.  But, those mods have weapons silhouettes, but not for small arms and no weapons ranges or calibers.

I checked my other CM2 games and the mods I am referring to are by JUJU and MARCO BERGMAN.  However, I cannot find any version for CMBS or CMFB.  I don't recall anything being released, so they may not have done anything for these two latest games.

The JUJU/BERGMAN mod is another "must have" for the other games.
