CMplayer Posted July 9, 2001 Share Posted July 9, 2001 Search seems to be broken so I wonder if someone can tell me how to install mods on a mac. In the data folder I find large docs with graphics files, but the mods are individual .bmp files. How to instal them?

I tried to thank you by email but your providers' firewall seems to consider me a spammer!? Maybe they saw my postings here. Anyway thanks to your help, I'm now a recently deflowered Mod-equipped player, and...man o man o man.. I would never go back! The game looks so great now! Got the 'tank girl' interface too. thx again, --Rett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopenfaust2 Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Not too many mods. Macintosh resource files can't take every mod out there. Have a mixture of hi-res and lo-res. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 You've had trouble with mods on your mac? I haven't, but then again I've never had the urge to load HiRes grass textures for a 4km map! I've got a CM buddy with a mac who's positively TERRIFIED of the mac mod manager, despite my assurances. Mac people are used to operations being transparent (or seeming to be transparent) and are uncomfortable about letting an application loose to tinker on unseen files.

There are a lot of HI ress mods of the same thing. If one dosen't work try anther. [ 07-11-2001: Message edited by: Panzerman ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why be terrified? I just made a bunch of copies of the Data folder, and whenever I get a configuration I like, I save it. Then you never have to worry about breaking one that is good. Heck, I love mods so much now, I hardly want to play. I just want to install some new vehicle and take it around for a drive, maybe shoot a few trucks. BTW I just put in DESERT FOX DESERT RATS. I thought it was broken till I figured out you have to set a summer date to get the tree bases right. The first thing I did was put together the obvious 'attack the oasis' scenario. Fun, fun, fun. Then I downloaded the scenarios. Clubfoot and others have done some really enjoyable work there. --Rett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnee Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 I got a mac, and my CM is hooked up. No real problems with changing textures. The mac mod manager does sounds too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoot Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 CMPlayer, Thanks for the nod, buddy. Glad you like it hot and dusty. As for the corrupted bmp issue (and you Mac guys slap me if I'm out of line), it's been my experience that these problems are typically caused by the unzipping of a PC compatible archive. Although I'm a PC owner, the DFDR site is run from and maintained with a Mac. We had gobs of problems until we began using Stuffit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you like it hot and dusty. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I just played South of Sidi Rezegh against the computer (as the Brits, of course). To say it was a challenge would be an understatement, to say it was fun as h*ll would also be an understatement. That's the kind of scenario that pushes the limit forward of what CM can do IMO. It seems necessary to relearn basic tactics in the wide open spaces of the desert. I ended up trying to use the Kangaroos for 'tank rider' assaults with half squads. I have some more questions about proper tactics in that sort of a long distance desert raid, but it'll have to wait till I get back from a short vacation. Hope you're around then, and could answer them. Thanks for the great work! --Rett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
