Mod talk


Recommended Posts

Now that 75% of my bmp's have been modded, I was wondering if anyone has been intrepid enough to produce a comprehensive list describing each series of bmp's. For example, if I wanted to fool around with my uniforms for the Wehrmacht in 45'and re-mod them, and instead of scrolling through my files to see who wears what and is placed in which bmp's is there a descriptive list? For example: Pz 38(t) early would read 12122-12130 [sic] and 151.. for the late model. Sure would come in handy.

Is there a site for mod feedback? I find it interesting how we playtest and review battles and ops but not mods. I have some mods that, although cool, have glaring errors. One that sticks out are my soviet slogans on my turrets. I have slogans on one side (the left) that are BACKWARDS! :mad: However, they still are too cool to change tongue.gif and I live with it--I always keep a right side camera angle. I am just hoping that we could provide effective feedback for the mod designers (my heroes all) in order to help them deliver a polished product just as we do with battle/op designers. With this feedback perhaps we can make requests? I am still searching for a dusty 251/1,camo MkIVH, and winter MkIVG, et al.

What do you think? I am a MOD MANIAC now (modders--it's ALL YOUR FAULT! :D ) and need some better organization. Am I alone in this?

I have had too many problems operating CMMOS (which is due to my severe lack of computer skills and NOT a critique in any way) so this is not the answer I am looking for. I am just looking for a thread where all we talk about are mods and bmps. Anyone? :confused:

Not really an error on the modders part. Since the left side is the right side mirrored. Nothing can be done to fix this problem. :( But hey, like you said, they still are kool looking. ;)

I have a list of uniform BMPs on my GD site, but I believe there is a complete listing included in the CMMOS download at CMHQ, though it is contained in dozens of little .txt files which you need to open one by one.

There was a terrific list compiled for CMBO, I too wish someone would sit down and do the same for CMBB, it would be a great help.

Thanks Mike and Merater for the feedback. I hope the new engine allows for two sided bmps, this would enable mooders to get more fancy (more is ALWAYS better). I wish there was a way the tanks could be numbered INDIVIDUALLY but I assume if that was possible it would be in the game now.

Mike, what am I doing wrong with your GD uni's, I DLed, copied and all, but the ALL of my '41 Germans were "promoted" and put on the GD uni's. :confused:

I reverted back but kept the files. I also noted that in "Schreiber's stand (great scenario)that these guys were NOT decked out in the GD uniform. :confused:

I experiment, fail, retry, then succeed. Any tips here on why I am having my GD problems would be appreciated. Great site too, by the way.

I found the mods I listed above, got 'em and they look great.

Last question, redface.gif anyone know of any scenarios that use those rare T-34/57s? I've never used these guys yet. I only mod those vehicles I use. When I see ANY original BFC AFVs (no offense BFC) I head for CMMODdatabase.

Cozog rules!

I went ahead and did this. I wrote a batch file that parsed the contents of all those text files and created one large file with all the BMP numbers. Anybody interested?

Flesh, my hero! :D

How long did it take you to do That? It took me an hourt just to print out all 224 (I think, I lost count after 200) pages. I better run out and get another ink cartidge. Hey, excellent stuff--EXACTLY what I was looking for. Now I can organize my many, many folders. Outstanding!

tooz, it took me about an hour or so of tweaking to get the batch file to do it's stuff. I then spent about half an hour tidying up the text a bit with a text editor.

Michael, I mailed it to you too. I used the mail address in your profile. Did you get it?
