The Steppenwulf Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 It's been a shamefully long time (it was finished years ago) but here be The Steppenwulf's UI mod for SF2. **It's currently awaiting authorisation so you'll have to be patient and keep trying the download** 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Steppenwulf Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) One very important thing I haven't mentioned about this mod is that I had an idea (a long time ago) to add all the brigade insignia into the branches slot. They are all there in the folder with a fair few exceptions (since it's a WIP). My idea was that I would collate them all in a spreadsheet for the player's information (e.g. probable brigade composition 2004-10). Developing this idea and the spreadsheet further, I thought it would be cool to write some VB code so that the player could 'automagically' flip the brigade insignia as desired (a bit like how JSGME used to work, if anyone remembers that mod tool). Anyway I decided to drop this idea because I realised players won't want to flip (or will likely forget to flip) the insignia every time they commence a scenario. I reflected that its actually got limited practical value compared to mod tagging. But the idea of using the branch icon is still sound me thinks, so the folder of insignia content is in the mod, but for best application of the insignia I'd recommend designers use a mod-tag. And use the abbreviation that I've applied to these files [all listed in column A of the spreadsheet linked below]. This way players can play scenarios with the correct brigade insignia as applicable to the designers intention. For reference, the spreadsheet with all the insignia and all the research for the force compositions: The Steppenwulf's SF2 Brigade OOB Spreadsheet I don't doubt that, despite my extensive research, there's corrections to be made to the OOB but let me know and I will edit, so it becomes refined over time.

Navigate to your main CM SF2 installation and locate the 'Data' folder. In there you'll need to create another folder (if you haven't already) and call it 'z_mods'. The z is the key because CM loads everything in the Data folder in reverse alphabetical order. So everything in a folder called z will override all other Data folder content. Download the mod which is a zip file, right click on it and and 'extract to' the newly created 'z folder'. Or you can move the zip into the 'z folder' first and then 'extract here'. Once extracted you can then delete the zip file (unless you wish to keep it for back up) That's it - boot up and you'll get a different menu screen when the program opens- so you'll know you've got it right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your work on this very handy mod @The Steppenwulf Apologies everyone but I won't be uploading the planned update with adjustments from the latest patch to this mod after all. The same applies to the Black Sea mod too I'm afraid and other mods I've been working on. Please do consider the mod now open field, feel free to modify it further and build on it as you wish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 @The Steppenwulf that is most unfortunate, I use your UI in SF2 and BS and very much like it and hope you will reconsider. However, having seen the other thread, I understand your reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strac_sap Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 @The Steppenwulf This mod is greatly appreciated and used. I know that modding desire waxes and wanes, but if you decide to do this for CMCW that would be amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
