Pericles Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 These are by far the best Combat Mission video AARs I have been able to find. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I liked the halftrack and gun mods. I have never seen one with the red cross marking. Anyone know where that can be d/l from? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Funny that you mentioned that. I was playing CMFI the other day and spotted those crosses. When I saw that I said to my self I need to get those out of there - ambulance HTs don't make sense attacking. I am pretty sure it is part of the Aris mods but I'll check tomorrow morning when I remove it and let you know 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Am pretty sure it will be one of those halftrack fuselage "options" for a halftrack. Presumably if you have (say) 5 options numbered 1-5 and option 6 has the cross, then approx 1 in 6 of one's halftracks will have the cross. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Yes, the file is in the Aris mod "Aris American Halftracks CMFI&GL" the version with the cross is called m3-hull 2.bmp. There are only two versions so I just deleted that one file - no more ambulances in combat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) Found it. Didn't realize I already had it. Question: Following my own advice, I copied the "blank" fuselage and named the copies to m3-hull 3/4/5.bmp etc. so I would only have maybe one red cross version in a scenario. I note that there is no mod called xyz 1.bmp. Is that true for all CM2 mod variants - that there is no variant mod called "1"? Thanks...

I could be wrong here, but I vaguely remember someone saying that if there is a gap in the numbering, the game engine will not "look" beyond it to the later numbered variants. Worth checking - if true you would be better swapping its number with the last in the list... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 You are correct, so thanks for the reminder for anyone else who reads this. In this case the number 2 image was the final one. I should have made mention of that but it slipped my mind since I did not need to renumber anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 In this case there are only 2 bmp's for this halftrack graphic in Aris' mod folder. There is the vanilla m3-hull.bmp and m3-hull 2.bmp ONLY. IIRC one should not number any .bmp variant as (say) m3-hull 1.bmp. Am not sure if that "xyz 1.bmp" would simply not appear, or if it would prevent any higher numbered .bmp in the series from appearing in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
