HijackGMH Posted September 10, 2000 Share Posted September 10, 2000 A suggestion for allowing full use of the plethora of BMP mods available. Perhaps BTS could incorporate a way to allow specification of which directory to look at for BMP files. That way, a player could have multiple directories with different combinations of mods, without haveing to reload or re-shuffle files between selections.

Oddball_E8 Posted September 10, 2000 Share Posted September 10, 2000 Easy! just make a copy of your bmp folder and move that copy to another folder. then you can choose wich one to use between games. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamski Posted September 10, 2000 Share Posted September 10, 2000 I mentioned this in another thread, but here goes: I created 3 BMP directories and named them "old BMO", "new BMP" and just the regular "BMP". I integrated the best of what was out there into the new BMP folder and left all of the original stuff in the old BMP folder. Because each set of mods have something better than the next, I took a bit of each and put them into the regular BMP file. I still like the default grass textures best (the others are too detailed for grass, in my opinion). This way I can go back to the "stock" old BMP if I need to or search through the new BMP folder for some more textures..... I guess it sounds stupid, but I find it's pretty easy just to rename each folder to BMP if I want to see what they look like in the game.... -Ski ------------------ "The Lieutenant brought his map out and the old woman pointed to the coastal town of Ravenoville........"

Guest *Captain Foobar* Posted September 10, 2000 Share Posted September 10, 2000 You guys are probabaly the right ones to ask.... I need to get my cool explosions back! All I have right now is the original chunky explosions! I have extracted the latest 3d fire&expl mod into my bmp directory, to no avail.. I think it is 1700-1729, and they show up. But in game I still see the old ones. Isnt that wierd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to write 1 sophisticated batch file or several to cater for your alternatives. Imagine you have two BMp directories called c:\cmbo\hiresGrass c:\cmbo\neatPanther and you wanted to play with hiresGrass, you would have a batch file that went something like this ren c:\cmbo\hiresGrass c:\cmbo\BMP combatMission.exe ren c:\cmbo\BMP ren c:\cmbo\hiresGrass exit with a similar sort of thing for neatPanther. Try it, if you get stuck send me an email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
