jmbunnelle Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Hi all, Since I've seen a few random posts on here asking about SC mods, I thought a single master post that recapped everything would be helpful to the newcomer. Then just this one post could be added to and bumped from time to time. First off, Otto's Strategic Command HQ is a must, it being one of the first sites to collect mods from various artists. However, it hasn't been updated in quite a while because Otto is away until sometime in October. It contains the following unit mods, all of which are mutually exclusive: -The Camicie Nere Mod -Jbulldog's Unit Mod -Jorgen's Symbol Mod -Sgt Eagle's Historical Symbols Mod -Wolfe's Tank Mod -Moder's Aid 'Flat' Tile Sprite Next, there's HolzemFrumFloppen's Elite Interface (see original forum post here for screenshots). This essential mod changes everything, both the interface and graphics. I particularly love the work he did with the blended flags. Fantastic stuff. Sami V was working on an excellent interface using original propaganda posters, but I haven't seen a thread announcing its release. The initial screenshots, which are now dead links, were superb. Sami V, PLEASE let me know when it's done because I want it! Lastly, there are my own two mods, JBunnelle's Force-Specific Icons (see screenshot here) and Terrain Enhancements (see screenshots here). All of these are zip files that can be unzipped directly into your "bitmaps" folder in your Strategic Command folder (default is C:/Program Files/Strategic Command/bitmaps) BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL "BITMAPS" FOLDER!!! The majority of these cannot be used with one another. The Elite mod will replace pretty much all of the bitmaps in the game, so if you want to use another mod in conjunction with it, be sure you unzip the Elite into your "bitmaps" folder first, then unzip the others.

sogard Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Thanks for the repost and collection of all the mod stuff in one place. I had missplaced one of the files and you helped me recover it and put it in a nice safe place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatus Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 Do the mods have any negative effect if you're playing an email game? Would the person you're playing against need to have the same mods installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the graphics are altered and this has no effect on the game engine. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally.... very cool that you posted the mod-recap. Really helpful for all the players who missed out on some of the goodies the first time. So... what about you... any plans for future unit mods? - Holzem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Hello all, I'm back and I'm even a little early! jmbunnelle, thanks for this thread and the plug for my site, I appreciate it. Well, I'm back in business. Anyone with any new contributions to SC, please send them my way. I added HolzemFrumFloppen's Elite Interface, JBunnelle's Force-Specific Icons, and Nors's Operation Uranus Campaign to my site. If anyone has any problems with me hosting your files, please let me know and I'll remove them immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

japinard Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Sorry, you guys forgot mine http://www.jeffpinard.com/Strategic_Command/index.htm My map color mod makes it much easier to distinguis between the neutral toned countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeres Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Quick question guys. Carl already turned me on to the Elite mod and the unit specific mod.I managed to install them. I'm using them and they are great . I'd like to add the terrain mod cause I think it adds a lot. But should I wait till I'm done with my current game? I'm just nervous I'm going to currupt a file and lose the game ( I'm working on an AAR for this particular game). I'm really not the best with computers but I'm trying to learn.

blackbellamy Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 no, those are just simple replacement graphic files and should have absolutely no effect on current and saved games besides replacing the graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmbunnelle Posted November 11, 2002 Author Share Posted November 11, 2002 None of these graphical mods will do anything besides replace the existing bitmaps. The only thing you should do is backup your original files in case you want to change back to the default settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
