kohlenklau Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I recently upgraded my 2016 era CMFB to Game Engine 4 and latest patches. I had done a forum search and looked at CMMODSIII but got confused. Which Vin text mod do I need for my newly upgraded and patched CMFB? I only saw 1.01 and 1.02. I guess I thought it would say 2.02 to match the CMFB v2.02 but maybe 1.02 is usable? Thanks guys 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger73 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 @kohlenklau - If I'm calculating things correctly, you've been absent 15-March through last Sunday, 15-December. It's good to see your return. Welcome back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Canadian Cat Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Yeah updating Vin's Animated text is on my list of stuff to do. My list is too long and I don't have enough time. I do love that mod too and every time I play without it I feel the pang of guilt that I have not created updated versions @Mad Mike created a primer on how to do it. I have been following his work: A couple of notes - I only do the heavy version since it is the one I like and the grenade symbol should not be used even though it is very nice but the string gets used in a couple of places so looks goofy in the other location in the UI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I can’t help you with vin’s mod, because I never use it, but good to see you back, buddy! Hope it’s for real this time, lol! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 Thanks Mark. I hope to stick around... Ian: I tried to modify it with Notepad++ but somehow failed and got goofy entries in the game. It seemed fairly simple to copy and paste over but it didn't work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Bummer. I'll get there eventually. Some day I'll get annoyed at the plain text and do something about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can give it a try, just put it into the Animated Text Mod folder for CMFB. It is the LIGHT varaint of the mod, btw. strings.txt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnart Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Thanks for keeping the mod alive Mike. Sorry fellas, It just got to be too much of a pain in the ass for me constantly have to update it for so many patches and games so I lost ambition for keeping up with it. Glad you posted the self help instructions. Should have just did that myself. Mike, Ian or anyone else is welcome to administrate it to keep it updated for the troops, and deal with "my text is screwy" problems when not updated. Appreciate keeping the name for the credit of inception. Glad you guys enjoy the mod. Edited January 22, 2020 by Vinnart 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
