Maximus Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 OK fellas, here's the plan. Since there are many, many different terrain mods out there scattereed in large packs and in small one or two file downloads, I am thinking of collecting all of the mods I have installed and offering them all in one large download on my site which is almost ready to go on-line. Here's some of what I use. 1) Old Dog's Subdued Velvet Grass 2) DD's Total Foliage Pack 3) Magua's building mod* (*temporarily until Panzertroupen get's all of his done.) 4) Panzertrouppen's building mod 5) Bfamily33's Brown Stone Bridge 6) Bfamily33's Real Wheat mod with a slightly toned-down fall wheat to better blend with the toned-down velvet grass. 7) Desert Fox's Hedgerow 8) Magua's Pavement 9) Kump's snow road 10) Napolean1944's Barbed Wire and Fence mod 11) Tiger's "rough" texture and a few others that I can't seem to locate just now. IMHO, these look the best so far. Basically, DD's foliage pack on subdued velevet grass has given the best look so far. Hopefully DD and Panzertrouppen will get their mods finished soon. As far as my site goes, I reworked it the other day and put everything in table-format. It's just a matter of getting all the damned zip files in the website and publishing the whole thing on that wonderful server known as Geocities. (Check my profile for my working-URL.) Unless someone else has server space they'd liked to share. ------------------ --"We want information." --"Information." --"Information." --"Who are you?" --"The new Number 2." --"Who is Number 1?" --"You are Number 6." --"I am not a number, I am a free man!" --"Hahahahahahahaha."

USGrant Posted November 24, 2000 Share Posted November 24, 2000 I would be thrilled if someone would do both with a high-rez and low-rez compilation. I have a fairly low-end system and have had to fall back to low-rez. I just got done reinstalling the original bmps and reapplying only low-rez mods. When I first started adding mods I didn't worry about high vs. low because I did not notice significant slowdowns. As they were incrementally added things got slower and slower. I'm pretty much back to just gridded velvet grass and the low-rez vehicles. I'm not suggesting that you go beyond your offer and do this, but rather floating the idea for anyone that feels motivated. ------------------ USGrant When the game is over, the kings and pawns go in the same box. - Old Italian Saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cueball Posted November 24, 2000 Share Posted November 24, 2000 I would be interested. Having all the mods in one place would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Posted November 24, 2000 Author Share Posted November 24, 2000 OK fellas, once I get home I'll start compiling all of what I've got. I've slightly sharpened some stuff like the buildings. So I'll just pull everything out of my bmp folder the way I see it on my screen. Again, I think that all the mods that I have installed have produced the best overall look. With BIG DD's Foliage Packs and Subdued Velvet Grass along with several other small mods really give that overall great look. I think y'all will like my site once I get it on-line. I've used a pretty easy-to-use navigation system. Every section/page can be accessed from anywhere in the site. I've used a site-wide theme. It's not a CM related theme, but it's effective.

Ted Posted November 26, 2000 Share Posted November 26, 2000 Great idea and count me in. I've changed mods so many time I have no idea what I have anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordfluffers Posted November 26, 2000 Share Posted November 26, 2000 Maxi try Desert Foxes subdued grass with DD's trees and bases, it goes very well andlooks a lot less cluttered than Subdued Velvet. My opinion but try it, very smart IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clark Posted November 26, 2000 Share Posted November 26, 2000 I'm glad your including DD's foliage... I love the trees and forest/slightly wooded textures there. I have a fairly low end system... how Hi-Res is this mod pack? Just wondering before I d/load it. Great idea though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rex_Bellator Posted November 26, 2000 Share Posted November 26, 2000 Great idea Max, is their any chance that your pack could be available in its component parts to save long d/ls for those of us who have some but not all of those mods you list? To have compatable terrain mods in one site would save a lot of browsing. For example I cannot get hold of a subdued Horizon mod and have spent an age finding my other mods, d/l them and seeing if they look right.

M. Bates Posted November 26, 2000 Share Posted November 26, 2000 Maximus this is an excellent idea, make sure you provide both lo and hi res if you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STATCOM Posted November 26, 2000 Share Posted November 26, 2000 SOUNDS A GOOD IDEA MAX I AM WAITING FOR CM IN THE POST AND IT WOULD BE GOOD TO GET A BIG DOWNLOAD ALL AT ONCE.I WOULD LIKE A HIGH SPEC MOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably have the trees and bases in one pack, the grass in another, buildings in another, and other stuff in another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted November 26, 2000 Author Share Posted November 26, 2000 Also, I have not changed any mods, but just Panzertruppen's building by just giving them a very slightly sharper look. I ran the smallest Sharpen filter on'em just to clear'em up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted November 27, 2000 Author Share Posted November 27, 2000 OK, just did a little modding to the roads. Bumped up the contrast on them a bit to darken them up to better go with the subdued velvet grass. The subdued velevet grass looks a lot brighter now with darker roads. Besides by doing this, the detail in the roads come out better. Zipped the roads, including Gary Kump's tracked-snow roads, in at 721K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
