Juju Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Yes, Sirs, it's that time of the year again. What with Weinachts Grenadiere on the loose, and huge convoys of hi-res Coca-Cola winter trucks and all that. There's no better time than this to preview an upcoming mod that actually features a bit of snow. What say I? A bit. Nay Sirs, we are talking LOTS of snow. Heap big even. Santa Tanks A Lot and Santa Juju have been working themselves into near snowblindnessness (?), bringing you a complete winter graphics overhaul (trees excluded, we may do them later. We may) in time for the holiday season. The winter terrain set will feature the following items: - Brush: by Tanks A Lot. - Hedge: by Juju, based on Richard Tremblett's Bocage Mod. - Ice: by Tanks A Lot. - Pavement: by Juju. - Railroad: By Juju, based on Gyrene's Railroad Mod. - Roads (paved variant): by Tanks A Lot. - Rough: by Tanks A Lot. - Snow: by Juju. - Snow_gridded version (construction set, hi-vis and lo-vis available) - Wall: by Tanks A Lot. - Woodbases: By Juju. On to some piccies. The winter buildings in some of the pics are also Tanks A Lot's work, and I, for one, consider them an integral part of this set, and are a highly recommended 'companion' download. One note: Snow, as ever, doesn't come over too well in the screenshots. Brush, Rail and snow Hedge Ice Pavement Road Rough Wall Woodbases, roads Tanks A Lot and I are aiming for a Christmas release (on, or around) but no promises can be made at this point. Also, Philippe has been so very kind in agreeing to make a CMMOS compatible version, to be released at a later date. Happy gaming and happy holidays!

Herr Oberst Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Great mod, and hate to nitpick, but shouldn't half of those troopers in the third screenshot be on their asses after slipping on the frozen river? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commissar Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Amazing, stupendous, super-duper work!! You know I think the wonderful CM mod community transformed the ugly duckling that was the original CM (graphically speaking, that is) into the beautiful swan most of us with half-decent computers can now enjoy. IMO, the graphics in CM now surpass those displayed in any other RTS/Wargame/3D command game, even without the lighting effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfamily33 Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Hey, how about winterizing a few bridges with some snow and icicles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zitadelle Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Quick question. Where do I find the Winterized M3 Scoutcar mod that is included in the above image? Excellent work on that mod- to whomever developed it. Mods, mods, mods.... Maybe, I'm mod crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawyer Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Looks very nice, Juju. I've been using your 3D explosions for a long time. Where might we get this when it comes out? How big is the download? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopenfaust2 Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Those tree bases are perfect. I've been waiting for something like this. Thanks guys, that looks like a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfamily33 Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Zitadelle: Those scoutcars are probably at CMHQ. Look under the 3rd Party Mods and then Allied vehicles. The new CMMOS section, also at CMHQ, will likely have them there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juju Posted December 18, 2001 Author Share Posted December 18, 2001 Phil, a CMMOS compatible version of the complete pack will be released at a later date. Probably somewhere in January. Philippe (PADivine) will be working on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopenfaust2 Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 JuJu What are the bmpeez for the tree bases you did for this mod. Is it the 850 bmpeez ? Your help would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Hofbauer Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 the Greyhound can be found at CMHQ, but not under winter vehicle textures, where one would expect it, but under 3rd party mods / allied (summer) vehicles, page 1. the White Scout Car however is nowhere to be found at CMHQ. I should know because I am desperately looking for a winterized WSC ever since I DLed that fabulous winterized M3 HT. any hints about the whereabouts of that winterized Scout Car would be very welcome.

Zitadelle Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 I could not find the wintered M3 scoutcar either, and I checked CMHQ, Combat Mission Net (Manx site), CM Outpost, and Tom's CM site as well. Please, let me know where the mysterious M3 is hiding.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
