Olle Petersson Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 I hereby announce the official opening of my small CM website (a MSN community) aimed mostly at the Nordic players. It's called Combat Mission för svensktalande. Here you can find and download my Fastmods. I've now finished the No-Snow terrain (grass, overlays, buildings, etc.). They're not very pretty, but very small. Each grass texture is 66 bytes, instead of the original more than 192 000 bytes. The other textures are reduced versions of the original files, reduced by at least 2/3:rds. The complete mod file, including the screenshots below, is <800 kB. Here are some sample pic's from the VoT scenario in the demo version: Download the Fastmods here. Go to the homepage here Cheers Olle ------------------ Strategy is the art of avoiding a fair fight... Detta har kånntrollerats av Majkråsofft späll-tjäcker.

Wesreidau Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 Someone should tell GunnyBunny about your fastmods, its just what he`s been looking for! In all seriousness, for Cm play on a slow machine or old laptop this is ideal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike8g Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 As said above: Good for slow computers. For faster ones, it's like putting a Volkswagen Beetle engine inside a Porsche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfamily33 Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 Hey, that reminds me of the terrain for SWOTL and Red Baron. Time for a straffing run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With slightly better hardware these allow you to use hi-res unit textures, as I did with my 4MB VRAM. Is there any interest in the snow/ice textures?

Robert Olesen Posted February 8, 2001 Share Posted February 8, 2001 Hi Olle, I have problems downloading from your site. The MSN password stuff doesn't seem to want me in - don't know what's wrong. Anyway, it is not really friendly to have to remember a password to download a file. Why not send the set to CMHQ or some other place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coralsaw Posted February 8, 2001 Share Posted February 8, 2001 Good job Olle, but like Robert I can't download properly. Can you pls email me the mod, or even better, post it on another website. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Petersson Posted February 8, 2001 Author Share Posted February 8, 2001 You're not supposed to need any passwords or anything. At least not within my intentions. I've set security to a level where only members can post/edit/remove stuff, but anyone should be able to read (and thus download) everything. Having somewhere to put my mods and pics is the primary reason for starting this up anyway... I'll check this up tonight.

Olle Petersson Posted February 8, 2001 Author Share Posted February 8, 2001 I've now controlled the downloading possibilities, and it seems impossible to allow non-members to download files. Therefore: * I'll mail the mods to Coralsaw and Robert. * I've made it easier to become a member (you don't need my approval). * If any webmaster out there wants to make my mod(s) more available you're welcome as long as you give me a notice. (I'll make a link to your site as well.) Cheers Olle ------------------ Webmaster of Combat Mission för svensktalande, a CM site in Swedish.
