kump Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 DD noted that a previous shot I was showing was using his terrain mod which had been recolored for "winter with no snow". I saw screen shots on this forum showing off Velvet Brown terrain. I made comment on the post that I thought it a great idea, so much so that I started modifying the terrain I use, which is DD's mod set. While I was doing this, David Molinarolo sent me the DD tree bases and brush that he was using for the Velvet Brown set (thanks David). That saved me some work! I liked it and used it. I recolored the DD grass and bocage/hedge. I then modified the wheat field and threw together a batch file to switch between DD green (normal) to a DD brown terrain set. This was all done for my own game and never intended for release. Now that DD has seen it, he asked if I could give more screen shots of it and make it available somewhere if there was interest. Here are the screen shots.... [This message has been edited by kump (edited 02-18-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Dorosh Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 Shouldn't the leaves be removed from the hedgerow, and just the branches left behind? Has anyone done a mod like that? The colours look spectacular, by the way. Well done to all three of you. It also occurs to me that the tracks on your Sherman are upside down... ------------------ http://wargames.freehosting.net/cmbits.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DraGoon Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 Hi Kump You know where to send it when it's ready. It may even qualify for a comparison, no preferential treatment mind. Originally posted by Michael Dorosh: It also occurs to me that the tracks on your Sherman are upside down... Which bit was that, the bit on the sprocket or the bit on the top rollers?

Old Dog Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 Kump, I hope you'll take DraGoon up on his invitation. I'd sure like to to D/L it - it has a great barren, wintery look. - Old Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 Originally posted by DraGoon: Which bit was that, the bit on the sprocket or the bit on the top rollers? DG I suspected as much! I take it they look okay on the back of the tank? Since your tanks will always be pointed to the enemy, I guess you won't see the front of them much, anyway!

Gordon Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 Originally posted by Michael Dorosh: Shouldn't the leaves be removed from the hedgerow, and just the branches left behind? Has anyone done a mod like that? Well, part of the problem I have with hedgerows in CM (and it's not a big deal anyway), is that a real hedgerow doesn't look anything at all like an overgrown (American) suburban hedge as in the game depiction. Hedgerows are actually mounds of earth and rock coverd in a thick tangle of all manner of vegetation, including shrubs, trees, vines, etc. It's the earthen mound and density of the "wild" vegetation that makes it such great terrain on the defense. Especially when you've got to approach it across the relative open area of the enclosed or bordering fields. Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clark Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 Gordon, If hedgerows in France look the way you describe... couldn't (someone who knows how they look) make a mod of them looking that way? The texture should be the only thing "wrong" with them right? (Too "AMericanized") I would love to see a mod like this! ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets."

Pvt. Ryan Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 If those guys can do a total desert conversion, I imagine someone could transform the hedgerow tile into something more closely resembling the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think it would be very hard to make something convincing out of the boxy model the game uses. Particularly in light of the fact that the actual BMP is pretty small and concatenated repeatedly to form a section of hedge/bocage.

Shatter Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 Hey guys, actually I think the new winter without snow mods looks very good to me. I have been away on vacation for a while. I am now just checking out all the new mods. This one caught my eye. When and where can it be downloaded. Shatter out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
