MikeyD Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Ain't no mystery about it! Sound contact 'Mystery' vehicles mod At out favorite site: www.cmmods.com I got tired of that 'sound contact' tank with legacy CMBB T34 running gear in CMAK. While fixing that I also took the opportunity to round off a few rough edges on the textures. Not a wholesale reworking, but the textures look better in-game. Here's the cmmods screenshot: http://www.cmmods.com/web/CMAKMods.nsf/d108908febc2d41c85256c5f005fd337/49E341BCEBA7557485256E94004A6B42/$File/MYSTERYTANK.JPG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 There 'might' be a small green color chip bmp somewhere but I've never come across it (and believe me, i've looked!). It probably is hard-coded and untouchable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 What a great idea. Never thought about someone being able to improve that horrible thing. :cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hey, I've just scratched the surface here. There's no rule to say the 'mystery tank' has to stay fuzzy grey (though that's how i kept it). An enterprising modder could make it hot pink with smiley faces on the roof. Or cover it in screenshots of the surrounding terrain so it looks like the landscape's moving. This is the one case where there ain't no armor grog out there who can claim 'Your mystery tank looks nothing like the real thing!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 i just made a "cave" wood bunker from a screenshot of grassy terrain. when i checked it in game, i couldnt find it cuz the camo was so good. lmao 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 is it possible to mod the "sound contact" infantry etc? right now it's difficult to tell which is sound & which full ID. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 How do you get the URL for a preview picture in CMMODS? (I asked this before, I know... if you answered sorry that I missed it!) Ta, GaJ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Atreides Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Taken from the "New Super Detailed STuG" Thread: GaJ: "How do you get the URL for the preview picture!?" MikeyD: Not being particularly clever, I was at a loss on how to show previews of my mods on the forum, until I saw some clever fellow on the CMBB forum add the cmmods picture link url to his message. Eureka! A solution! Here's how it's done (in Explorer, on a mac). You go to the mod preview in cmmods.com (or any picture on the web, I suppose), You click on it holding down the control key and select the menu option "Open Image in New Window", then you simply copy the url address at the top to paste into your board message. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
