gunnergoz Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 Are you drawn to CM's ability to exhibit a variety of terrain? Do you fiddle with mods and color palettes, trying to find just the right one for a particular situation? I find myself spending as much time playing with terrain mods and buildings as I do playing CM itself. Perhaps it's the immersive aspect of getting into a 3-D environment. I know that I played shooters for some time and never got hooked...all those dark caverns and narrow corridors...ugh! CM is different. I can set up a scene and climate and walk into it. All around me are scads of WW2 hardware to admire and direct. Nirvana! If only I could have dreamed of this capability when I was a kid! Even my wife, who knows and cares nothing for computers and gaming, finds my little CM landscape worlds intruiging. I'll take her on a walkthrough of a fall or winter landscape, with 3-D environmental sounds going full blast, and she is mesmerized! I'd like to hear from others who are drawn to this particular aspect of CM. My heroes of course are the redoubtable modders like Magua, DD and all you others who showed us what's possible. But it would be nice to hear from others who just get off on terrain modding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 Well, except for my Subdued Velvet grass I'm not a modder, but... My name is Old Dog, and I'm a CM miniature world-aholic! I spend MUCH more time setting up terrain, and fiddling with the latest mods making little 3-D dioramas to photograph that I do playing. My website and taking pics for a modder or 2 is my excuse, but I really do it 'cause I do love it so! - Old Dog Old Dog's CM Central The CM Photo Gallery!

gunnergoz Posted February 20, 2001 Author Share Posted February 20, 2001 Well, it's nice to hear from two more of my favorite modders (bet you thought I called you something else there for a minute, eh?). Out of curiosity, what drawing tool software do you find most useful? I recently got turned on to Photoimpact and find it has a teriffic set of tools. With a couple of clicks I can devise mods for all seasons...I lost sleep last night dreaming up new mods...well you know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnergoz Posted February 20, 2001 Author Share Posted February 20, 2001 I'm very glad to hear from you Big DD. Your outstanding hires grass is the underlying foundation of some of my own grass mods like: and . May I have your consent to keep working on these mods and to distribute them freely and for free (with appropriate credits)? I've tried getting your email from the forum but no luck.

It appears to be a marsh tile (633), but I don't remember seeing it before. Can you elaborate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe F Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 Hello Gunnergoz. I agree totally, its a totally new experience and great option to be able to change the look and sound of the game in such a simple way. (Thanx to all the GREAT artist out there who share their work.) I look for new mods nearly every day and spend alot of time finding the ones that suit my taste!.. I think it really improves the value of the game, i usually loose interest in a game fairly quickly, but Combat Mission has me coming back daily. Im certainly looking forward to CM2 and am proud to support Battlefront!!!! Regards, Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted February 20, 2001 Author Share Posted February 20, 2001 I'm going to bump this in the hope of getting BigDD's attention... and here's the latest variant of speckled terrain: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commissar Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 gunnergoz, wow, that speckled grass looks pretty neat! The latest screenshot looks a bit TOO orange for me, IMO. As far as being mesmorized by the modded enviorments and staring at the landscape... My favorite thing to do when I first got the game is set up a winter map with snow at night, scroll down to the 1st view, and look around with the sound fully up! Man, I could almost feel the chill. Reminded me of my childhood, going cross-country skiing with my grandfather (who, unfortunately, passed away a year ago) in Russia. DD's winter mods only made it better Three Cheers for all the Modders! ------------------ "...Every position, every meter of Soviet soil must be defended to the last drop of blood..." - Segment from Order 227 "Not a step back" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mikey D Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 Talk about addiction, I've just submitted some new brick hotel & Church mods to 'Toms Combat Mission' site. The Church is there now, he just got a revised hotel mod this morning with alternate French/German billboards in the back so that may take some time to get up. http://home.germany.net/101-77027/CM/gbuildings.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
