Kumando Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Correction i cant install skin mods at all, they wont work, but i successfully installed terrain and sound mods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Possible issues: 1) Numbering of the skin mods may be wrong. (Have had same problem, but am unsure what the numbering system is for graphics mods vs sounds mods other than they are different from some reason.) 2) If the mod has a date appllied to it maybe the scenario date is not the same. 3) Corrupted mod. D/l it again. 4) Other...? Hope someone else more experience can help you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are probably mods made with CMBN 1.0. If you've upgraded the game then no uniform mod made prior to the 2.0 upgrade will work. That 2nd Ranger uniform mod was one of the earliest CMBN uniform mods and was most likely made with 1.0. The 2.0 upgrade changed how uniform .bmps were named. So, the game will not recognize .bmps using the 1.0 naming system. You can get some older uniform mods to work by renaming their .bmps to coincide with the 2.0 naming system. However, the 2.0 upgrade added additional uniforms such as for NCOs and officers that 1.0 uniform mods do not recognize. Thus, if you simply rename a mod's .bmps then you may still get your pixeltruppen wearing a combination of modded and vanilla uniforms. (This latter issue is the most likely reason why some 1.0 uniform mods have never been updated because they would require a lot of additional work.) There are quite a few uniform mods that were made specifically for the 2.0 version such Vein's and EZ's, but any CMBN uniform mod made prior to December 2012, which is when the 2.0 upgrade was released, will not work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was asked b4, but no one responded. Am curious re the v1.0 vs v2.0 naming systems, as CMSF and CMA may use v1. I was basing the naming system for all the games on the newer titles. Now am thinking I need to change CMSF and CMA mod names back to v1.0 naming system to have them show up in-game... if only I knew what it is/was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IICptMillerII Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 The uniform mod you are trying to use is out of date. I know because I had the same problem you had a while ago. When v3 came out, the uniform names were changed. The mod you are trying to use is using the old names for uniforms. To fix it, simply rename the bmp file to: smod_american_m41_uniform It should now show up in game. So if you have 3 bmp files for uniforms they should be named: smod_american_m41_uniform smod_american_m41_uniform 2 smod_american_m41_uniform 3 Hope this resolves your issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked do you know the naming for helmets and airbourne troops also? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IICptMillerII Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 The helmets are: smod_american_helmet-soldier Airborne uniforms are: smod_american_m42-para_uniform If you want them to appear with the 101st or 82nd patches they need a modtag, so the name looks like: smod_american_m42-para_uniform [101st] smod_american_m42-para_uniform 2 [101st] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 So the graphics mod option system misses out the "0" and the "1". Is that true for earlier versions as well? I recall that sound options have a different naming convention. If that is correct, what is the convention for sound mod options? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IICptMillerII Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 For uniforms and gear and such, there is no "0" or "1" in the file names. Not sure about the earlier versions. Sound files do use "0" and "1" if I remember correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im trying to get normal infantry to use airbourne uniforms. Renaming the files as described worked. I tried to rename the helmet files also but I couldn't notice any difference The airbourne mod also contains 5 us-airborne-boots.bmp, 1 us-gear.bmp and 1 us-musette-bag-shovel.bmp. Can I rename them to so they will work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, why bother going through the effort of making regular infantry wear airborne uniforms when you can just take airborne? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) I actually answered this the other day, you must've missed the reply, Swant. @IICptMillerII, The answer is in the link above. It's so confusing to me now, I can't explain it here. But basically it has to do with an old scenario and how unis worked before 2.0. Mord.

Yes good question There is an updated version of the stock campagin: The road to Montebourg. For some reason the paratroopers are represented as regular infantry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that in the stock campaign the paratroopers get the right uniforms, but Im playing an altered version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) You asked what the bmps needed to be renamed to. After you told me you lost them, I gave you the file name " smod_american_m41_uniform" to rename them. It's at the bottom of the thread I linked above. Mord.
