Describe it or show phots I wasn't asking/demanding for you or anyone else to make one, Phil. I was refering to the ones Gary R Lucas mentioned and are already made, if I understand him correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes people make a mod just for their own use. But I am curious what look you are hoping for? Since you are not so in love with the stock one that ships with CMFB and CMRT F&R... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very happy with that checkered mod. It looks absolutely gorgeous. Beggars can't be chosers, but if I am allowed to say it, it would be that one.

kohlenklau Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) In progress but needs a couple more sessions! I am NOT saying it looks like that other one but squint and have a couple beers and it is near dead on! I am not @laurent 22 with my Wacom... ok, a bit more of figuring out where stuff is on the bmp file. Make it THREE beers and she is a winner. Just one more session, like that lady down at the liposuction center, and she will be perfect. I gotta line up those side panel lines and add the letter D to that one square section below the barrel.

kohlenklau Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Ok, here it is. Done. Take it or leave it. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8edea1p76qpffa7/AAAyYDDThJX_1VLEyfh5-5uGa?dl=0 The dropbox link includes free of charge: [whitewash] [snow whitewash] [snow] tagged versions the image that inspired it AND the GiMP file so you can have fun messing with it - if you have GiMP. I am gone in a few months for good from CM. Just my plan for better health and other things. So consider this a little humble gift to my buddies. Delete it after I go! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 Thank you so much, Phil. I'm very happy with this mod. It looks perfect! Thank you, thank you, thank you! The bomb you drop about leaving CM is rather damping my joy, to be honest. But yes, health is all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I actually already went back and improved(?) it some based on taking a look at @laurent 22 whitewash stuff. I didn't have enough actual bright white. Mine was just showing gray. So I added some white I grabbed with an eye dropper. I ALSO tried to go up to 300 dpi but I must have screwed that up. Laurent said he does that and obviously he is on the ball and knows his stuff. Here is "Gun D"... Maybe before I retire, Laurent works with my old slow brain and I finally get it right after 10 damn years!! 3 hours ago, Aragorn2002 said: leaving CM Think of it as "retirement from CM content creation". I am not trying to get too dramatic. Some of it is based off BFC's clear plan not to devote a damn crumb of effort toward early WW2. But also the health aspect. I was away for 5 years from CM 2016-2021 - or so - and really got into great shape. I think I could use another departure!

laurent 22 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Great job I go up to 300 dpi but when I finish the texture I go back to 72. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ανεβαίνω στα 300 dpi αλλά όταν τελειώσω την υφή επιστρέφω στα 72. haha, but not joking, I must have not tried soon enough to go to 300 dpi. I did it as an afterthought and my image looks blurry and not crisp. Edited March 28, 2023 by kohlenklau 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say that you are one of those people I always feel guilty towards knowing my own limits in skill and energy, Phil. Ever since you helped me with making a map for one of my scenarios I admire your energy and dedication. Never appreciated enough and always in service of the community you're one of those few people who make a good game even better. CM should have hired you a long time ago. Whether you decide to go or stay, I will always be grateful for your wonderful work for us. That's how I feel about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to modtag [autumn] to make it look right. It has been a blast to delve deeply into this hobby and I have met a lot of great people. Some folks I am sure I rubbed the wrong way. I think I have rubbed BFC the wrong way too. Oh well. Looking back at CMAK and the other CMX1 stuff, I wonder if the hobby has dwindled or expanded up to this point? BFC is always tight-lipped on sales numbers. But maybe with STEAM, this will all get a new vitality, a new influx of modders...? In a few years I might have to poke my head into the forum under a new account to see what is happening.... best wishes to you. I am not gone yet but time zips by... ~Phil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
