Bruno Weiss Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Okay, thanks Gordon. It is a really nice gizmo you got here. I can see the day now when plugging and patching and switching and swapping is all made to work without a headache. Thanks for a great mod addition.

Manx Posted September 3, 2001 Author Share Posted September 3, 2001 I intend to get one of the building mods out in the next day or so. Gordon and myself sort of agreed on a release schedule for this stuff, and unfortunately buildings were put at the lower end of the scale than AFV's were. There's a lot of stuff to release, but i'm trying to get as much stuff out as i can, as soon as i can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Manx, Try to get my German Uniform set uploaded as soon as you can--once you get it that is. This will really show what CMMOS is capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoot Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 A screen of a scenario specific mod RuleSet I put together for the CMMOS interface: It includes: The Utah Beach playset SSM and 'Victor South' beach landing scenario. To be used w/ Magua's Normandy conversion, it offers the ability to revert to the original Normandy textures when you're bored w/ playing in the surf. The Pointe du Hoc SSM and scenario (w/ cliff-scaling rangers). This also offers the 'revert' option to the original Normandy tiles. The Estates! SSM and four scenarios: Ausperg House, Haus Ettersberg, Le Manse Medonie, & Peng Downs. And the Skorzeny Sheep's Clothing SSM and scenario. A wonderful tool indeed! In future versions, an 'About' button would be grand. So when an icon is highlighted and the 'About' button activated, a .txt file is accessed giving more info about the mod, be it functional or historic info. Oh, Gordon, I'd also like to request a non"house" RuleSet number so I could distribute this without conflicts with future CMMOS mods. (I sent an e-mail, but I'm sure you're probably awash in them right about now.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMMOS is further enhanced (more "RuleSets") to include the option to switch individual bmps options on AFV's, terrain, anything!. 2.) Axis forces are added asap 3.) Gordon makes code available for any would-be Mac Programmer to port it over to Mac (buy a PC!). Once completed, both programs are developed and released in tandem, with co-operation between the PC/Mac guys (this is probably impossible ) 4.) CMMOS has become the "standard" package for installing CMBO mods and is also ready for the release of CMBB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 Everybody, Sorry for my apparent reticence responding to some of these questions/issues. I've been bouncing around the various CMMOS-threads, Rumble II and real life. Clubfoot, You're smokin' man! Looking good. I've re-responded to your e-mail, don't know why you didn't get it the first time. You've been assigned RuleSet401. Manx, At least the first 3 of your 4 points are definitely my intention. Point 4 is so far beyond my original intention for CMMOS (really folks, it only started off as a replacement for the batch files) that I think we'll all need to take some time to think things through first.

As long as textures have the appropriate suffixes, the transformations will be made.

The _panel suffix is first used with Feldgrau's Universal Carrier. "panel" as in aerial recognition panel. It's the same as the _us_cav, if you wanna look at it that way. The _lv suffix is the Low Viz option for the US textures. It features stars that have been "blacked out". This option has been in the batch files since the beginning, or nearly the beginning.

I was thinking about writing rulesets for individual allied vehicles so i'll start typing them now. That will require a ton of new filelists so i'll start making ones for individual vehicles too.

lcm1947 Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 Thanks Gordon & Maximus. I should have been able to figure that out. What am I saying no way I'd even thought along those lines.

TankDawg Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 Hi Manx, Thanks so much for posting all the CMMOS stuff on your site!!! Request: Could you make it very clear what mods are CMMOS compatible? Maybe a seperate section on the right side of your home page? I am still trying to figure out if the "action packs" are compatible or not. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 This is just a question I'd appreciate an answer on if someone would be so kind. Will moddlers go back and make the older mods workable for CMMOS or not? I just had this sicking feeling that all the old ones won't work in CMMOS. I sure hope I'm wrong. What a waste of some really nice mods. I don't think we'd ever get all them remodded. Also I second the motion that TankDawg had. It could get confusing. Course if the answer to my question above is no then I guess there won't be much use for old mods. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 TankDawg, Personally, I now identify all my mods as hi or lo res ("_hr"/"_lr") and CM Mod Manager ("_CMM") or CM Mod Option Selector ("_CMMOS") in the name, so I hope this won't be an issue. I know Madmatt was kicking around the idea of trying to come up with a mod naming "standard", but I haven't heard much of it lately. lcm1947, All of the "existing batch file mods", except for Fernando's, which he is working on work with CMMOS. Other mods do not need to have CMMOS-enabled versions, unless the original mod author wants to make them. You can still use other mods with the CMMOS/batch file mods as before.

Maximus Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 Yes, ALL existing batch file mods are compatible with CMMOS. After all, we have said time and time again, that CMMOS is just a replacement program FOR the batch files. So just go back and select the options you want (the renaming thing to get back to the support suffixes as Marco said above) and install them into your BMP folder. And that's it. CMMOS just swaps out optional textures for the "same" mod and unit. It just does it through a C++ Windows program rather than a DOS program. So in retrospect, delete all the old batch files and icons, EXCEPT for the time being Fernando's German stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted September 6, 2001 Share Posted September 6, 2001 OK now that we have this great program. I need more new mods and rulesets to use with it.And hurry please it's starting to hurt.Nobody wants me to have any fun And yes Max I know your German Uniform ruleset will be here soon.It's one I am really looking foward to.

DaveT Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Gordon, Is there any ETA on the next batch of CMMOS mods? I am really looking foward to the Max's uniform ruleset and the allied halftracks.But anything will do. Thanks again for this great program.

PawBroon Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 So far we are testings gazillions of MODs. One might expect some huge updates when time is due. What's nice about CMMOS and about the Team releasing the MODs is that they are FINISHED products. So expect something nice but don't expect it every week.

Pvt. Ryan Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 Understandably, not much progress has been made on the new rule sets, but any ETA would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
