frag Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 Hi guys, As a software engineer, I presently use my spare time to develop a Mod's Manager for Combat Mission ... the things are going well and fast, but I'm at the point where I need some simple help. Is someone can send me the list of the nature of all BMP and wav file. I need this to keep control of wich mod is currently installed for the game. You can send me this at sdaigle@reflexnet.net I will post some screenshot probably later this week, I'm already using the software for myself, but I still have some little thing to improve to put it public... Thanks in advance [This message has been edited by frag (edited 10-02-2000).] [This message has been edited by frag (edited 10-02-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frag Posted October 2, 2000 Author Share Posted October 2, 2000 At the same time ... here is a kind of survey that can help me a lot if you can answer it... 1. What is the resolution you usually use on your desktop (800x600,1024x768,1280 ...) NOT IN THE GAME, but on your commun desktop. 2. Are you ready to have a copy of your original BMP and wav file on your hard disk. It's a lot of space, but it's permitting me to roll back the mod's installation if you don't like it. I can use the file from your cd drive ... but if I do so, your not be able to have a kind of "your standard" installation of the game (by example, the original bmp files+ MDMP1 and MDMP2). 3. Do you have a direct connection (cable,dsl,isdn...) to the internet? Thanks for answering, I will give more detail this week...

HijackGMH Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 1) Desktop = 800x600 CM = 1200x1040 2) Already have 3 different BMP folders and 2 WAV folders 3) Using 56K modem I'm very much looking forward to seeing your efforts. At present, managing all these mods and getting a good look at them is most cumbersome! Need a beta tester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Olesen Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 1) 1152x864 2) Yes 3) No (56k modem) HijackGMH, how do you run CM at a larger resolution than the one you ordinarily use? I would like to try CM at 1280x1024. frag, will your mod manager be able to handle parts of a downloaded mod? I have, for example, installed the fairly new interface mod. I'm happy with some of it, but not with all of it and plan to reinstall only parts of it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HijackGMH Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 Robert Olsen's question: "HijackGMH, how do you run CM at a larger resolution than the one you ordinarily use? I would like to try CM at 1280x1024." I was pointed to a great shareware program called QRes, which changes your screen resolution when you start up CM and when you shut it down. I apologize to the friend on this list who pointed it out, but I am at work and unable to look at my old e-mail. When I go home tonight, I'll try to post the URL but you can probably find it with a web search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frag Posted October 2, 2000 Author Share Posted October 2, 2000 Answering Robert, yes, you will be able to select the files you want to install from a package. Here is the main feature of the manager: - Install full or partial package of BMP or WAV files. - Browse all your packages to see or hear them before installing or removing them from the game. - Browse every files or your BMP and WAV directories and know where the files are coming from. - Create new package in wich your personnal information will be build-in (Author,Name of the mod, version, Date, Screenshot...). Those packages will be easier to the user to install. If you have any recommendation, please let me know. I will ask for some voluntary beta tester as soon as I feel that the software is fully functionnal...

frag Posted October 3, 2000 Author Share Posted October 3, 2000 1. About the resolution: It's looking like the resolution standard for most of you is 1024x768 ... pretty happy about it, because theirs a lot information to fit on the main screen. 2. About the folders: I will consider you able to have a copy of the BMP and wav folders. 3. About the internet connection: In my next version, their is a possibility that you can download mods directly in the mod manager from "Standard" internet site like CMHQ (with the permission of MadMatt for sure...) It's not to late for recommendation if you have some... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
