GreenAsJade Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Originally posted by Hans: Hmmmmmm, am I the only guy who doesn't use Mods? Calling "not using mods" "true blue" is akin to saying that the only way to drive from Perth to Sydney is in an antique car. Sure - it's authentic and nostalgic. But, those reasons aside, why would you do it? BFC clearly intended for the game to be Modded - heck they don't even provide you with a complete set of BMPs (at least in CMBO they didn't). So, nostalgia aside, one would tend to expect people to take advantage of improvements. Each to their own, of course. GaJ.

zukkov Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 mods all the way baby! some use them for historical accuracy, but i like em cuz they're :cool: . that's not to say the originals are bad, they're not. but i love the mud, the slogans, the numbers, the cammo schemes, and all the little touches that add flavor to the game. besides, if bfc didn't want em modded, they wouldn't have allowed it to be so...well, not easy. let's just say accessible.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeo Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 No mods in CMBB for me. Looked damn good right out of the CD. I did have CMBO modded, but when I had to reformat my HD, I never reinstalled them. Sure, I now need to wear sunglasses whenever playing CMBO, but it's no bigs. Of course, having a dial-up connection might have something to do with it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColumbusOHGamer Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Originally posted by Hans: Hmmmmmm, am I the only guy who doesn't use Mods? Heresy and Sacrilege!!! You must wear a scarlet letter 'M' before being burned at the stake! Just kidding....I didn't use a whole lot of mods in CMBO and really did mod anything in CMBB until Mr. Noobie started posting all his Russian armor. It got me hooked and now it's like a drug. Maybe I should open a mod-addict clinic to help others... COG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarmo Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I did pick up a few whitewashed vehicles, dont remember which ones as I dont like to play winter maps (all that snow gives me snowblindness...). But as for trying to improve on the graphics in place, I havent bothered to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogdan Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Originally posted by Jarmo: I did pick up a few whitewashed vehicles, dont remember which ones...I did the same thing : I wanted to have an almost complete set of winterized vehicles. It was the first step of a complete addict ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinzBaby Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Have to admit it...I'm a mod slut, there said it. There's nothing original in my CMBO set, and I'm slowly going through my CMBB. Geez, I sometimes watch the startup vid of CMBO and think it's from another planet... there's fantastic talent out there in the Mod world, and I appreciate it all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I think BFC make the default skins, terrain etc ok, but they are indeed intended to be modded. The default grey tanks for example are far too clean and dull. Mods are the salt in the meal for me, i can watch a tank attack on level 1 or 2 many times when they are all nicely modded. I hope modders can make a kind of color scheme for CMAK, so not all new vehicles are a different kind of sand color Monty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mies Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 For me the modding of my installation is part of the fun. Modding because there are mods out there you could say. Makes no sense come to think of it, but I like it nevertheless ! Mies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Rosenrosen Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Alright, at the risk of highjacking the thread (or, more generously put, expanding the scope of the thread).... I don't use mods in CMBB, although I modded the heck out of CMBO. Actually the only CMBB mod I use is the gridded terrain which I find incredibly useful. So why did I mod CMBO and not CMBB? Well, first of all, I think that the CMBB default BMPs are pretty darn good. And second of all, I modded CMBO by finding a list of "essential" mods: the best sounds, vehicles, buildings, grasses, etc. I believe this was put together by Madmatt himself and posted on combatmission.com. (My apologies to the actual author if I'm mistaken.) So.... I would like to mod CMBB if there is a similar list of suggestions. It would be great to improve the look and sound of my game, but I really don't have time or interest to become a "mod grog". Any tips? Thanks, Dr. Rosenrosen [Edited to note that historical accuracy is not really critical for me, as long as it looks interesting.] [ September 23, 2003, 11:36 AM: Message edited by: Dr. Rosenrosen ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Heh, I did the same with CMBO. CMBB was done well enough for me. Other than the gridded terrain (wouldn't it be lovely if BFC put it on a toggle, hint, hint) I haven't felt the need to download anything else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I pretty much dont use mods for CMBB, only added winter vehicles and uniforms as avaliable thru CMMOS. I like the matching vehicles that came with the stock, and unlike CMBO it was not dayglow. WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 What no mods? Are you out of your mind? Why even get up in the morning then. Hey, if you don't like or want mods that's up to you but to me it makes all the difference in the world to have them. I don't think the game would be what it is now if it wasn't for them but I am a mod nut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlrender Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I like the matching vehicles that came with the stock Well I've just gone back to stock textures for that very reason. I lined up all the Russian stuff in the editor and realised I had every possible different shade of green, some dirty, some clean etc etc. It kind of looked messed up. So now just got a few MD and AF vehicle mods that closely match the stock colours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohjusmies Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Only thing my CMBB needs straight outta the box is new sounds. The originals just suck. Big time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 No mods :eek: !!! That's just wrong! Mods are like crack, only a lot less expensive. If I had any conscience at all I should warn people to stay as far away from mods as humanly possible. But since I don't, I advise any holders-out to head over to the Combat Mission Mod Database to get a little taste and see what it's all about. It won't hurt. I promise. Start by replacing the yucky old lo-res CMBO "legacy textures" like the Jeep, M5 halftrack, Nashorn, etc. Maybe pick up some winter textures when you're at it, because CMBB doesn't ship with any of those. That should probably be enough, but you won't stop there. Oh no you won't. Hahahahaha! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Alkema Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 100% stock on my computer. There hasn't been enough reason to go through the time and effort to fool with it. Of course, I haven't really played in the snow... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
