kohlenklau Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) I do not own either CMA or CMSF2... But I have done this type of "shenanigans" many times and can TRY to walk you through it remotely IF YOU WANT. You'd rezexplode the files in CMA and CMSF2 to identify the apple and the orange. You grab the apples from CMA and rename it as the oranges in CMSF2. Or...wait here and maybe somebody chimes in that has ALREADY done it. @37mm possibly/probably/most definitely? Let me know.

37mm Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 It should be possible, @Aquila-SmartWargames did something similiar (importing the CMSF unit models into CMSF2). I might play around with the idea one day but suspect you'll have issues with normal bitmaps (which aren't supported by CMA unit models). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 You guys should know that there are several mod sets that make a big change to the CMSF game. I can think of: Iwo Jima; Africa; SE Asia "Heaven & Earth"; Afghan... Maybe more... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're up in the plane. This might be a bust after all our collaboration just so you know. I can hang in there if you do. Step 1. In the main folder of your CMA and CMSF2 might/should be a folder called mod tools. In there should be subfolders rezexplode and rezpack. You'll be working with rezexplode. Go in there and see the utility rezexplode and a folder called input. I don't have CMA but usually/probably in another atrea of your CMA main folder is your data files with should be a .brz extension. I think mthere are just 2 from some info I have. Copy the first one and paste it into rezexplode input folder. THEN right click on rezexplode utility and and run as administrator. It produce a new folder of the unpacked/exploded contents of that first brz file you copied. rename the folder as CMA1 or some system. If you want, try to accomplish that and we move on to step 2. report back... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zveroboy1 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Mord suggested this when I was working on my Afghanistan mod and I gave it a quick try. It was several years ago so I don't remember all the details and this is just from memory but the biggest problem was the texturing, not so much importing the models. The SF2 texture files or skins don't wrap around the CMA models properly. So you'd have to redo the skins entirely from scratch with no template. In theory it is doable but probably a pain in the butt. There were other issues too like the headpiece or the faces being attached to the CMA model but a separate file in SF2 or something alone these lines. Finally some bits are shared between different units, the boots from uncon fighters are shared with regular Syrian infantry etc so that causes issues too depending on which unit you swap it with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dankmushroom Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 well can i import the CMSF1 models to CMSF2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zveroboy1 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 It is maybe doable really but there are some drawbacks and issues if you follow this road, don't want to discourage anyone though! Just wanted to say I considered this approach but chose to do it a different way in the end but I am not that good a modder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 @Dankmushroom if you want help, I can try my best to remote assist. We can do it here (and amuse everyone!) or PM me. Be advised I do not have any of these modern titles unfortunately. No CMSF1, No CMA, No CMSF2, No CMBS. No CMFalklands. No CM Space Lobsters. Nor the recent CM Space Lobsters module "Fire and Butter". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
