dominick Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) A few years ago someone offered a mod or app that displayed the activities of units in green text on the lower left of the map screen, such as if they were spotting or moving when you clicked on each unit, and showed what each soldier in a squad or other type of unit was doing at the time. Does anyone know how to find this file on a computer or where it can be downloaded?

Howler Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Check CMODS as there were a few across the titles as the mod was version specific. The file (Strings?) the mod was for tended to change each release/patch. I don't know if it exists for CMBN v4.

I have 'Veins Animation Mod' that you are referring to, Dominick...Here is the Dropbox Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0fv2kw2kuwgm0n8/Animated Text Mod.zip?dl=0 Edited December 27, 2018 by JoMc67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominick Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Oops, the file isn't there anymore. Got another location? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominick Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 I'm using it in v4 and it works well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Yeah, when I first inserted the 'Mod' in Dropbox I forgot to Zip it, and so quickly Zipped it back in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominick Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Thanks. I wanted to get it for an opponent, but he has it already. Actually, I don't recall how I got it myself, and what I see if confusing. If you wouldn't mind, for future reference, what do I do with these files, in case I need to reinstall the game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Ok, you will need to unzip that 'Mod' Folder and drop it into your 'Z Folder' (contains all your 'Mods') which is located in your 'Data' Folder. If you need to reinstall the Game in the future, then simply save that whole Z Folder' (put it somewhere in your Computer or Thumb Drive) and drop it back into your 'Data' folder, and you will be set.

JoMac Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) If you don't already have a 'Z Folder', then you will need to make one (just add an empty folder, and name it 'Z Folder') and put it into your 'Data' Folder. Your Mods will always go into this folder (only 'Mods', and not new Scenarios', etc)...I have attached a couple pics to show you what mine looks like: First Pic: CMBN 'Data Folder. Second Pic: 'Z Folder' that you will need to make and insert into 'Data' Folder. Third Pic: Just shows all my current CMBN Mods within that 'Z Folder'.

dominick Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 9 hours ago, Oliver_88 said: Wah? That texts there in Combat Mission as standard. Yes, I believe so. I don't recall adding it, and when I placed the Vin text file in the created Z folder, it displayed icons for each unit, overriding the text display I had. The purpose of asking about this originally was to make sure my opponent had what I had, and apparently he also had the text display as well from the v4 upgrade to the game. The "text" display can be confused with the apparently earlier mod called the Vin text, which is iconic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
