Gaps in winter mods

[mav1]

I have looked through cm mod and I havn't been able to find a Jagdpanther, Elefant, Early and Middle Brummbar and a Lynx Winter mod. Do they exsist or is anyone planning to mod them?

[patboy]

Lynx Winter mod exist at cmmods.com, about Jagdpanther, Elefant and Brummbar I'm not sure historically they have been Whitewashed !

Being a Mod slut, I try and get winter Mods for everything. I have a whitewashed early and mid Brummbar and a snowcovered late Brummbar. I have a whitewashed Jagdpanzer. I assume I got them from CMMODs. Sometimes a mod will only be posted in the CMAK section but work for CMBB as well.

I found a very authentic "winterized" panther at ccmods.com, you might want to check that out too.

At CMMODS CMBB side:

JadgPanther whitewashed - BG Bogdan

Elephant - Rustworks/Zimorodok

You're right no Brummbars, only snow covered ones.

I'll put up a bitchin WW Lynx by Makjager when I get home tonight.

There are white washed Brummbars by Dey aka Daffy at CMMODS.

Sequoia is absolutely right about Dey's Late War Brummbar (how could I forget), the early war one is the one with only snow covering. I will try to do something about that. Meanwhile I have put out Makjager's totally bitchin PzII L Lynx. You can find it at CMMODS. I will start a new thread with an announcement of it's release.

Looks like Gordon has early and mid war White-washed Brummbars in his big CMMOS winter set at CMHQ. That must be where I got mine.

[mav1]

Thanks David I and Sequoia.

I have to look out for the jagdpanther and tiger winter mods.

I found a Jagdpanther mod, but that was for cmbo.

Iam disappointed at the quality of the panther winter mods compared to the Tiger winter mods.

There is only Dafs panther early D and Zimorodok Hungarian panther I like. But that means all six models of the panther have to be either Dafs D panther or Zimorods panther.

[David I]

Mav1,

BG Bogdan did winter mods for all the Panthers, and I modded the G's and A late further on the CMAK side of things. I was hoping that Dey would tackle the Panthers the way he did the Pz IV's but I fear that real life is giving him a hard time.

My attempts, to date, to white wash look like crap.

I have found the jagdpanther, elefant, lynx and early brummbar winter mods.

But now I see Iam missing Yellow Marder III winter mod.

[Corvidae]

Speaking of mods, wanted a mod that gave early soviet infantry the boat cap,instead of a helmet,

and gives soviet naval infantry the naval cap, again instead of a helmet,

But its not do-able, unless someone can re code the ruleset

[Corvidae]

You see the winter infantry.

and in the box you see the cap i want them to wear,.....

Any clue how to make it happen?

[Sequoia]

Helmet types/shapes are not modable. Only the color.

[mav1]

Using either Gimp 2 or ACDsee5.

Is it possible to swap all the pixels in the picture of a specific colour, at the same time for another colour you have choosen to replace it?

What I want to be able to do is swap a summer bmp colour pixel foe a winter one. By choosing a different whitish colour to swap for each different clour used on the picture. My theory is the the new winter mod I would create would look identical to the summer mod apart from the colour. If its possible it would be the easiest way for a crap artist like me to create a winter mod.

[Wicky]

Try it and tell us.

mav1, no.

you would have to change each pixel individualy,

But honestly, a winter mod is not just a colour change, Infantry wore diferent uniforms in winter, and vehicles had whitewash applied as needed.

As to your being a "crap" artist, Take a few tokes and get creative, you may be surprised at how NOT crap you can be

[mav1]

Looks like I have to keep on using copy and paste. I copy and paste a small section from a winter mod to a non winter mod. but I still have to blend the paste bits together so that it dosn't look like a mix of patches. So much work, makes me feel so sleepy zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Oh Wicky there is nothing wrong with your Is 2 mod, my mistake. Oh well back to work on my winter mods. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

mav1,

the elphant is bmp #s 8640 through 8655

the winter elephant is 58640 through 58655

try copying the elephant bmps to a file,

add the "5" to each bmp, and start applying whites and greys, then copy the file back to the game, play test it to see whether it looks right, , if it doesnt, go back to the file and try another idea

[mav1]

Ok Corvidae, Iam going for it, watch out art world. :cool:

[Corvidae]

Igor, more electricity to the brain electrodes,

Igor, the monster ..... ITS ALIVE!! BWAHHH HA HA HA !!!

[Corvidae]

Of course before you try winterizing,

I suggest a flame job.

[mav1]

Its easy for me to to do a flame job. When one of my shermans gets knocked out, I get a lovely flame and I don't even have to mod.

Iam not surprised the US carried on using the sherman, it keeped the troops warm sitting next to the blazing fire in the winter months.
