Bulletpoint Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) I downloaded all the Aris texture mods for vehicles etc and put them in my z folder. However, most of the textures don't appear in the game. Some Panthers get the new turret, but their hulls seem to be stock texture. All the German halftracks seem to be stock texture. Etc. The pack I used was the one for CMBN. Maybe it's not compatible with the latest version of CMFB? Or maybe I did some mistake somewhere? I've installed mods before with no problems...

I don't remember if the mods I have were specifically made for CMFB or they came from CMBN but they do work. Aris vehicle textures that I use in CMFB are: Aris M5A1 Stuart, Hetzer, Tiger I, All in one Panzer IV pack, All in one Panther pack, All in one Stug pack, JgdPz pack and M10. In another thread you asked about the plowed field distortion, fixing mod. While looking at my Mod notes for CMFB I noticed I downloaded Kieme's plowed fields in March 2017. However I could not get them to work (the distortion remained) so I uninstalled that mod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletpoint Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 I just tested various things, and it turns out I can use Worghern's ground textures just fine, they load as expected. But the vehicle mods and the Kieme ploughed fields don't load. So I know at least I'm putting the files in the right place, but there's something wrong with the Aris textures.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the actual zip files (that I saved) from Aris vehicle mods. They are labeled Aris-Hetzer-Pack-FB. All the zip file names refer to CMFB. So the mods I have from Aris were intentionally made for CMFB. I'll try to move an Aris vehicle mod from CMBN to CMFB (that I don't have a CMFB mod for) to see if it will work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOS:96B2P Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I copied and pasted Aris CMBN SPW 251/9 mod from CMBN to CMFB and it worked!! Was not expecting that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was not expecting that. This is getting puzzlier and puzzlier.. What's the exact file path you're using - for that particular vehicle's mod? Also, I'd like to know the file names or the texture files. maybe it's something to do with that.

I continue to try to grok this.. Of all the different vehicle mods, only ONE thing gets loaded, and that's the Panther G early turret. But I can't figure out why that file works, and the others don't... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOS:96B2P Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I have a Z folder inside the mods folder that I use when I'm testing experimenting with mods or temporarily using a un-tagged mod for a scenario. Other than that the Z folder is empty and all my mods are just in the main Mods folder. However having sub folders and using them should not be the problem. In CMSF2 I have several sub-folders and they work. My Aris sdkfz 251 / 9 mod folder has four files inside of it. Do you have all four and are they showing in CMBN no problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOS:96B2P Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 If we can focus on one mod and get it to work we should discover the problem. I just picked the Sdkfz 251 / 9 since I moved it and it worked. Are you re-starting the game after moving mods into it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked the Sdkfz 251 / 9 since I moved it and it worked. Are you re-starting the game after moving mods into it? Yep, restarting every time. I just made a little test scenario in CMBN and loaded all the 5 different kinds of Panthers. They all worked with the mod texture, including the single Panther VG. AND including the SPW 251/9 Stummel. So the conclusion must be that the files work, but they are somehow not compatible with CMFB. Maybe they have the wrong file names? Is there anywhere I can download all the Aris vehicle textures in a version sure to be compatible with CMFB? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't change any file names when I moved the Stummel from CMBN to CMFB so not sure if that is a problem. I got my zip files from CMMODs 3 originally. They will still be there or at CMMODs 4 now if Bootie got them transferred. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just crosschecked once again that the Stummel mod works in CMBN and not in CMFB. I did this by removing al mods from both games, then adding only the Aris 251/9 mod folder to each game. It appears in game in CMBN but not in CMFB. Could you send me a dropbox link to all your CMFB vehicle mods? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ithikial_AU Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I created that merged modpack yonks ago well before CMFB was on the scene. The pack was certainly setup for CMBN, not CMFB. Despite the face value similarities there are a truckload of different variants of vehicle in CMFB compared to CMBN so yes the files are never going to full line up. Not to mention there's no snow textured vehicles in CMBN. Aris disappeared around CMFB's release so not every vehicle received his love and attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
