MeatEtr Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Having a blast playing a Berlin Op and i noticed my Volkstrum boys aren't modded. They don't look all that bad, but was looking for something better. I didn't find any mods over at CMMODS, CMHQ, and Toms site. Have i missed something or haven't the Volkstrum uniforms been modded yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 the only thing I could find was at CMHQ for CMBO. Andrew Fox's and mchlstrt's Volkssturm uniform (hi-res). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 AndrewTF did a mod for CMBB, I have it, but it must have been lost in the mod crash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Rommel Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 If it is ok with AndrewTF then post it over at CMMODS site.A few others have posted other modders works with permssion.That way it will be available for download again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that would be great, hope someone posts it there for all to dl again. Love Andrew's work. Btw, will those old CMBO unis work with CMBB, after the renumbering? If so, does anybody have any idea what they would have to be renumbered to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patboy Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I dont remember, if Andrew Fox did a Volksturm mod for CMBB, I think he mods only for CMBO...but we can ask him. Eh Andrew would you like mod Volksturm uniforms for CM community ? Thanks Pat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Rommel Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 He does mods for CMBB as well... There are about 22 mods of his at CMMODS for CMBB and 90% of them are uniform mods. I hope the Volksturm one gets posted if it is his as I love his uniform mods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Yes, Volkstrumpf's! Give us Volkstrumpf mods! In this rare photo (taken by Micheal Witman himself) you can see two Strumpfs (belonging to a Strumpfhoseführerin) and a Maus: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I started a Volkssturm uniform mod but never finished it. At one point a made a "Battle of Berlin" Hitlerjugend Volkssturm mod for CMBB but it looked weird and I think I trash canned it in a fit of frustration I could probably put one together pretty quickly out of my existing German uniform template. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 To what extent can uniforms be ported from CMBO to CMBB ? I haven't looked into this yet, but it seems like the CMBB uniform is set up a little differently from the CMAK uniform, and resembles the CMBO uniform except that the piece for the main torse is narrower. Would it be possible to change the proportions of that one piece (stretch the length to double size in relation to the width), or would the arms and legs not fit on the resulting uniform ? The mchlstrt Volksturm uniforms were really great (very unmilitary looking) and it would be a shame not to be able to re-use them in CMBB. Also, what is the linguistic relationship between strumpf and strumpet ? I wasn't aware that Witman ever photographed a Maus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junk2drive Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 The shoulder area is wider in BB AK. I stretched and shrunk the bmps for Andrew's BO late USA unis that are under CMAK at cmmods. It is a pita. I have used BO unis in AK with mixed results. Renumbered of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Ok--how are these? First one is Volkssturm squad with M43 uniform and webbing Y-straps. Second is support units which are slightly different. Both have civilian clothes under their tunics. I liked the look of the policeman for the Volkssturm platoon CO, so I kept it but added a bit more detail than on the original. There are two different armbands. If you don't like one you can copy and renumber the one you do like. I might just include both as options in a separate folder. I still haven't done the company CO Nazi guy yet. I did manage to find the Hitlerjugend Battle of Berlin mod. It's not very successful but if demand exists I may make it available. It looks a little strange when the old guy faces come up, and the platoon CO shares the cap BMP so he looks a little odd with his Polizei uniform and HJ ski cap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted October 22, 2004 Author Share Posted October 22, 2004 Wow, those look great, as usual. Damn you quick man. Ive never said this before, so here it goes. Andrew, you are "da-bomb". Very much looking forward to these, thanks a million for your work Andrew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Very nice work, as always. And thanks so much for including both sets of armbands. When I think of the Volksturm and the last days of the war I am reminded of various photographs I've seen where the Volksturm are essentially wearing civilian clothes (non-matching jacket and tattered slacks that you would wear to clean out the garage on a cold day) with maybe one item of military wear in addition to the armband, if even that. So I guess what really floats my boat is the idea of decidedly unmilitary-looking Volksturm garbed in early Goodwill industries rejects, with an ammunition belt, an armband, and a Homburg (which can't be modded). And it would be even better if you could put each soldier in the squad in a different colored threadbare jacket. The problem here, of course, is similar to what happens when trying to mod the Maquis in CMBO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I'd love to see that look in CM, but obviously it's not going to happen at this time. I debated trying to make a civvie clothes version of the Volkssturm, but decided it would look silly. Right now the three men depicting the squad are uniform in appearance and thus look better wearing uniforms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David I Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Andrew, Didn't a lot of these poor SOB's wear a single button version of the M-43 cap? It might add a nice touch. DavidI 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted October 23, 2004 Author Share Posted October 23, 2004 Andrew, on a diff note, im having trouble with 1 of your uniform mods, the mid-war SS Mountain company/battalion commanders right arm is messed up. I did a search and saw that there was a previous identical problem(over a year ago). Details here. Something about alpha channels. Anyways, i redownloaded the mod and still have the same problem. Could you, as you did with the other guy, email me the correct bmp please? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David I Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Meat, BMP for mid-war SS Mtn Co Commander right arm is 9194. His left arm is 9114. DavidI PS - on the Gross Deutchland Div. web site, see resources above, they have a complete listing for all German, Russian, Hungarian, etc. infantry BMP's.

Thanks David, but im aware of that site and i kinda knew it was that 9194.bmp, but i wasn't quite sure. Thanks for verifying that. But the problem is, no matter how many times i add that bmp from his mod to my bmp folder the arm bmp is still messed up. Even though it looks perfectly fine like all the uniform bmps when you view it outside of the game. Strange! :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeatEtr Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Thanks von Lucke, but somehow, believe it or not, the bmp you sent me does the same thing. So i checked like 10 times now, it's for sure the mid/late-war SS mountain CO/BN HQ's right arm thats messed up. Ive tried overwriting the old bmp with the new one, doesnt work, tried deleting the old bmp and then just add the new one, still doesn't work. I also just checked all SS CO/BN HQ's uniforms for all mid/late war units and couldn't find anything wrong with them at all. Well, im now officially clueless. I think maybe it has something to do with this "alpha channels" thing. Andrew said this in that other thread: Yours looks suspiciously like when I accidentally same a BMP with the alpha channels intact Im sure he meant to say "save" and not "same". Im hoping him or someone can help me out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
