umlaut Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Here´s a quick-fix mod set for the R2V Shermans.@DougPhresh made a request for Sherman mods for R2V the other day. I replied that I dont really have the time to make mods from scratch. Luckily, I discovered that I had an old set of Sherman Photoshop files that Aris´ once sent me. This was only the files for his CMBN Sherman IC mod, so most of the mods in this set are based on these. I have simply taken each bmp for the hulls and turrets of every Sherman in R2V - and placed the dirt, mud and grime from Aris´ Sherman IC on top of them. So most of the mods have the excact same layer of dirt on top of them. Luckily, it doesn' t really loook like that, because the base bmp´s are relatively different. In some cases, the bmp´s were so different from the Sherman IC´s layout that I couldn´t use the method described above. In that case I have taken files from other CM games and renamed them to fit. Or done a bit of modding myself. In short: This is not a set of mods made from scratch - but a quick-fix that will allow you to use "Aris´ed" R2V Shermans. Sherman grogs might find errors in camo schemes and such, but as far as I am concerned, they are as good as they get. I am sharing the mods via this Dropbox link - until they are available on Cmmods IV. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 That's terrific Umlaut. Thank you... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikial_AU Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 At work, so haven't had a chance to take a look yet. Do you need to have all the other CMFI Aris Sherman mods that he made pre-installed? Or is this an all in one package covering all Sherman variants from the base game/Gustav Line/Rome to Victory? Thanks for your efforts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your efforts. These are only the R2V Shermans. You’ ll have to download the other CMFI Sherman mods separately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougPhresh Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Incredible! Great stuff, thank you @umlaut . 20 hours ago, umlaut said: Sherman grogs might find errors in camo schemes and such, but as far as I am concerned, they are as good as they get. I just want to say that you're being far too humble. You did a really good job, and as you can see with the reference material, anyone who is very serious about this sort of thing would just have to add some formation badges. Maybe someone very enterprising soul could use mod tags to create Mickey Mouse camouflaged vehicles, the upside to which would be that late-war vehicles in that scheme will certainly be useful in the Commonwealth module for CMFB.

Aquila-SmartWargames Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) The detailed work the game comes with already and also next level skins like these here is what for me makes CM vehicles to the best looking around.

Mainly by using the dust and dirt layers from the psd-files in a single Sherman mod that Aris once sent me. This meant that I could make all these mods in about the same - or perhaps less - time that it would normally take me to make a single mod.

umlaut Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 NOTICE: I just discovered that I forgot to add the files for the Sherman flail tanks to the set. They have been added now - just please download the mods again if you want the flail tanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your source for the images/info? Seems like something I'd be interested in taking a look at just for the hell of it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommand all of you to created a folder with all download from the forum and for the time not available on the CMMODs ! I put the link available one week than will be deleted ! or asking @Erwin he has probably all and also since the CMMODs I !
