mac mod users and the new graphics 13

[aikidorat]

Just a reminder regarding the 'new' Graphics 13 file included with the latest patch. these are improved explosions from the original CD and have not changed from previous patches (as far as I can tell).

if you want to use the new explosion graphics, and have used a mod manager (MCM3 or CM mac mod) to import winter cammo, do NOT simply replace your current G13 file with the new one. You will lose all the winter mods.

here's the easiest way to import the new explosion graphics using MCM3:

start MCM3

select the advanced features button

use the pull down menu (on the right hand side of the program) to select your current CM data FOLDER

navigate and choose the data folder on your hard drive that you use to play CM.

then select 'Graphics 13' from the pull down list on the right hand side of MCM3

in the list box below the menu you should see a listing of all graphics in this file..

scroll down to the end to where you get to the explosion graphics (1720-1729)

select 1720-1729

now, press the 'Revert Selected' button

(do NOT choose the 'Revert Graphics 13 button, or you'll lose the mods)

a window appears asking you to SELECT the mod file you wish to revert to.

navigate to the NEW graphics 13, included with the latest patch, and OPEN it.

MCM3 will automatically REVERT to the NEW explosion graphics in your existing Graphics 13.

wah lah. you are done. Quit out and start CM with the new and improved explosions.

There are other ways as well, but they involve more work.

best of luck, happy modding and CM playing!
