pathfinder Posted December 8, 2000 Share Posted December 8, 2000 I have tried to use the batch files but they are all named the same; so if have placed the T8 batch file in CMBO then try to put the M4 batch it is an overwrite as they are named the same...are they?? do they load ALL Bergman US vehicles as modded by Bergman?? I tried renaming them and only got error messages. Or do I simply need a crowbar to remove my head from my backsides?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Bergman Posted December 8, 2000 Share Posted December 8, 2000 Crowbar is optional. Use the batch file from the T8 pack, and overwrite any previous version of the batch. I keep updating the batch file to do all the Bergman mods at once. I thought the readme covered this, but I'll check it again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Posted December 8, 2000 Share Posted December 8, 2000 What Marco said, Pathfinder. And a bit of a further clarification may help: Because the batch files have evolved as Marco has added mods, to be safe you should install the mods in the *ORDER THEY WERE RELEASED* (check the README files or see below)to insure all the batch files for all nationalities remain current, or at least, install his latest one last. This insures that you don't overwrite a later batch file with an older one. Here's the order that Bergman's "Multi-national Batch" mods where issued: M4 & M4A3 Sherman - U.S./Free French Sherman III & V - British/Canadian/Polish Firefly & Sheman IIa - British/Canadian/Polish Firefly & Sherman IIa camo version (joint with Molek) - British camo/British non-camo T8 Recon Car & Stuart 'Roo - U.S./British/Canadian Each time a new mod is released the single master batch file for that nationality is updated. Thus, the latest Brit batch is in the T8 mod, latest Polish batch is in the Firefly mod, and latest Free French batch is in the M4A3 mod. Hopefully not too confusing, and well worth it for the nation-specifc markings and details. - Old Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfamily33 Posted December 8, 2000 Share Posted December 8, 2000 Marco: I notice that the Sherman II (Brits/Poles/Cunucks) still carries the US Star on it's side. Is this because it's early use by the allies did not give them ample time to paint according to their standards? Or, have I somehow missed a portion of your mods? Fantastic stuff!

Major Tom Posted December 8, 2000 Share Posted December 8, 2000 Either the Sherman II has yet to be done, or, it uses the same graphics as one of the US M4's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Bergman Posted December 8, 2000 Share Posted December 8, 2000 The Sherman II is currently cunningly disguised as an unmodified texture set. I hope to clear up this confusion when the Stuart megapack is complete. The only part of the Sherman II currently changed is the turret, since that's common to all 75mm M4s. And yes, the M4A1 and Sherman II use exactly the same texture. So, patience. ( waiting builds character. ) Finally almost completed my urgent tool drawings, so I can go back to Mr Stuart. About a week, I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted December 8, 2000 Share Posted December 8, 2000 Marco, Thanks again for your batch files with the great MODS. And whats even better, you gave me a good idea. A week or two ago I downloaded a mod that gives you sholder patches for the US uniforms. The only down side was the french were wearing them also. So I edited your US and FF batch files to change them back and forth for me. Now get back to work on the Stuarts.

Marco Bergman Posted December 9, 2000 Share Posted December 9, 2000 According to my various references, it seems that was only true for softskins. Commonwealth tanks seem to have had either an air-recognition ringed star on the roof, or nothing at all. Roof stars for the Shermans will probably be slipped in as an optional texture with the Sherman II pack, or else packaged along with an already completed (but unreleased) hull front/nose enhancement and options pack for Sherman III/V.
