DraGoon Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Welcome modsluts, is this what you have been waiting for? Major changes afoot this month. We are very happy to announce that CM Outpost and Combat-Missions are joining forces to combine our efforts to bring you mods, reviews and drool inducing previews. Both sites will retain their identities, Combat-Missions will continue to bring you the mods and all the other services Manx provides so well, CM Outpost will provide comparisons of the mods and will return to teasing you with snapshots of forthcoming mods, provided by the mod authors and their test teams. To cement the combination of the two sites we are very proud to be allowed to offer a very special mod, jointly hosted by the two sites. Magua has completed version 1 of his new Normandy Terrain, this Mod amounts to about 20mb (if you are a total mod slut and want both bright and subdued versions) and is split over 7 files. As a result we have divided the files over both sites to allow the bandwidth to be shared and hopefully keep both sites up during the expected feeding frenzy. We have a standby plan in case either should have difficulties. Time will tell if it works. Enough waffle, to get to the files go here and here. I would like to express my thanks to Magua and Manx for helping make this possible. DG [ 06-16-2001: Message edited by: DraGoon ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PawBroon Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Tremondous should sum it up. Magua that's really an uberachievement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine59 Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Run, don't walk to get these mods! Poplar trees, ivy clad building walls. I am using the "subdued" version and it is amazing. Although the new half-timbered two story building (white one) really makes me wish I could turn on anti-aliasing w/o messing up my text. The detail is fantastic.

Pine59 Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Lawyer, the skies are included in pack 6 for subdued terrain and as a separate file for the non-subdued. SS Peiper, I sent you bmp 325. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tom Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Gentlemen , this is not only an " exclusive " Normandy setup ! Many of the terrain files ( Bocage , trees , tree bases , walls , some of the buildings etc. ) will make it to my main CM setup as well ( I´d never thought that I had to replace my beloved DD files with something different..). Can´t wait to see more stuff from Magua. :eek: Outstanding work :eek: Cheers Tom P.S.: Peiper is correct: there is an error with file 325.bmp from the buildings zip. Please fix it or do somefink.

Pine59 Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 My 325 is fine but I downloaded File 4 from CM Outpost so maybe the problem is in the file Manx has but not DraGoon's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine59 Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Anyone with a bad bitmap 325, you can download it with the buildings file from here: Magua Normandy Files I don't know if the speckles in the tree bases are intended or not. maybe Magua can tell us.

Manx Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 COMBAT MISSIONS is hosting Files 1, 2, 5; File 325.BMP is in D/L File 4 - Buildings - (hosted at CM OUTPOST). DraGoon said he might be going out this afternoon so he might not be around to check it out. Is this a universal problem??..if it works for some and not others then it has to a assumed that the d/l is ok. About the speckles -- Read the instructions...Magua does mention some stuff about some minor problems with tree's etc. etc. [ 06-16-2001: Message edited by: Manx ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought maybe I had done something wrong but the speckles are there even when you open the file with any BMP editor (Paint or PSP Pro). No big deal for me to fix for myself really. Should have mentioned it before I complained but this is an excellent set of terrain mods! I will probably be using most of them all of the time from now on. Great work Magua! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Taken from "Instructions.txt" (instructions.zip) "there are some rough bits (*cough* trees...) so please look quickly in the other direction when you spot the odd purple hued pixel." - MAGUA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 325 works just fine here. Have it sent to you through mail instead of downloading all over again. Manx and CM Outpost sure don't need the bandwidth abuse over that one. Spare them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Tell you what i'll do...i'll upload 325.bmp to a zip as a single file "fix" for anyone who may be having problems. You can then d/l it at CMs Give me 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magua Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Hi, Sorry some people are having trouble with the 325 file in the zip. I hope its the only gremlin. Those white spots in the woods, they are intentional. They are, well, er ....flowers. Guess it did'nt work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Right!...there is a small (147k) d/l that just contains 325.BMP -- i have just successfully downloaded it and opened it. I hope this fixes any problems people were having. It's on the Normandy d/l page at CMs. [ 06-16-2001: Message edited by: Manx ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
