Yskonyn Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I can't seem to find a straight answer to this: Do winter mods actually replace the existing schemes for units, so that when you're playing on a non-snow map you have white units wandering about or are winter mods recognised by the game as seperate schemes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Separate. Winter mods don't overwrite the summer uniforms/paintjobs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEY Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 There are two permanent bmp set slots for almost everything in the combat mission games, one set for a summer look and one for winter. The game ships with all the summer effect look already filled by battlefront, but for say the AFV's and uniforms the game starts out of the box with these slots empty for the winter effective appearance. When you start a battle the game engine checks to see what ground condition is being used, if the ground has snow on it, then the game engine will first check the winter bmp slots for all the units, which is a higher number then the summer bmp set, for cmbo a 1 was added to the the number so say a summer number set would be 3400-3422, the winter set would be 13400-13422. In cmbb for the most part 50000 is added to the summer number set to get the winter nimber set, so say a summer set numbered 3400-3422 would be 53400-53422. If the game engine can't find any of the higher winter bmp sets for anything then it reverts to and loads the lower summer bmp sets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your saying the game doesnt come with winter camo for any of the troops? :S 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Yes, because it would have taken forever from Kwazydog to winterize all the equipment and uniforms in the game, plus pretty much doubled the amount of cd's required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Enigma Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 hmm, yes i supose that makes sence.

Sergei Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 www.cmmods.com is the #1 site. Then there's CMMOS mods in http://www.combatmission.com/cmmos/cmmos.asp , you'll need to install CMMOS (mod option selector) to use them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Enigma Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 ive just dl cmmos then, it only options seem to be for cmbo and cmbb, how would do you use it for cmak? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 It is not for CMAK, nor are there CMMOS-compatible CMAK mods for that matter. Normal mods you just download & unzip to the bmp folder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
