Heinrich505 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 David I, This is really a great compilation. I followed your instructions, but somehow didn't quite do it right, so I didn't get the modded terrain. I played a number of scenarios, some which I remembered from way back, and greatly enjoyed having them all together under CMETO. The textures looked fine, but then I thought I would try re-installing a different way. Yikes, what a difference. I just now went back to view some of the scenarios that I'd played this weekend as unmodded, but now see them with your modded textures. I was quite amazed at the difference between the before and after modding. Very, very nicely done. Your textures really captured the feel and look, especially the winter scenes. Together with the uniforms, white camo for the Germans, bundled up US guys with gloves and scarves, it looks and feels quite cold. Just thought I would toss in my congratulations for a really cool job. Thanks, Heinrich505 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel J Lee Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I can't believe how many guys who love combat mission have NOT done this mod (CMETO). IT's so simple and worth the 20 minutes or so. Two games in one (CMAK and CMETO on CMAK's game engine). Thanks David! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Had an idea last night which might help make up for the missing M-36s. Can the ammo loads for the M-10s be tweaked so as to greatly increase their "T" loads when subbing as M-36s? I know there's still a significant armor disparity, and I don't recall whether the M-36s have power traverse. Anyone know?

Mr Ed Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 CMETO is awesome! Everytime I uninstall CMAK and CMBB, I am reinstalling them a week later. LOL. Thanks to David I and everyone involved with CM! Ed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KG_Jag Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Be sure to check out the 11 newly posted CMAK scenario packs at CMMODS. Up to 6 of them can be dropped into your CMETO or CM Normandy installs of CMAK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMarK Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I'm not a hard core gamer but I've played CMBO on and off since 2001. Installed the game (again) back in early summer and started modding. I haven't reached Mod Slut status yet but give me some time. DavidI, this mod is the reason I NOW have 3 installs of CMAK, which I bought myself as a birthday present a few weeks ago, on the hard drive and between modding and playing ETO and Normandy, I've yet to play 1 scenario of CMAK. Battlefront owes you one buddy. THanks again for a great mod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDog Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I'm just about to install CMAK for the first time, and would like to play the scenarios it ships with in the CM:Anthology box set. Am I able to install this MOD as well and enjoy the mods while still playing the original scenarios for CMAK? *EDIT* After re-reading David's first post ( yes I suppose I rushed through it ) I see this will co-exist as a second install of CMAK along side my original CMAK installation. Can't wait! [ November 14, 2007, 04:14 PM: Message edited by: GDog ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 You might also want to swing by CMMODS and take a look at the collection of sorted scenarios for CMAK. There's a lot of Bulge, Market-Garden, and Normandy material there that can be used to flesh out a CMETO or CMAK-Normandy install. Ok, Ok, I forgot to read the thread before posting. This was already mentioned a few posts higher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Yossarian0815[jby] Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 CMETO made me reinstall CMAK after a year or so of not playing CM. Great work David! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazing 88's Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I asked this in another thread, should have been this one... Are there any high contrast gridded terrain mods for CMETO? Or do the CMAK ones work for CMETO? I would assume they don't? thx 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Gridded terrain mods don't really work anywhere because they're an eyesore. Apart from that, CMETO is the same thing as CMAK as far as bmp's are concerned. Which means you can even deface it with CMBB gridded terrain if you really want to (except in a few places where you'll probably have to do some light renumbering). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing 88's Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 That may be true, but I enjoy them. As well, I was mainly asking about the HIGH CONTRAST type for CMETO. I would like to see elevations better at different views. Would the CMAK ones work then? I don't think so as they are NA/Italy files correct? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 There are two kinds of terrain files in CMAK -- North African and Italian. CMETO doesn't exist as a discrete program: it's simply a set of mods to CMAK Italian terrain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDog Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Well I finally got my rear in gear and installed CMETO. I did a seperate install and tried loading a PBEM CMAK game already in progress with my new CMETO install. Should the mods be in effect or does the game need to be created using CMETO to begin with? ( this feels like a silly question :confused: ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Sorry, but it is. Changes to bitmaps have zero impact on anything apart from your own personal enjoyment of the visuals. Oh, there's one exception. If you play with bases off and do a really good job of applying camo, then you may tend to overlook units that blend in with the forest. But that will only have an impact on you, not your opponent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I'm asking Phillip. Should my personal enjoyment of the visuals via updated graphics / bmp's (installed in the form of CMETO) come into effect mid-game of a PBEM match begun using the original CMAK installation? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McIvan Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 You can change in the middle of the game. It does not need to be started with the CMETO changes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 If you have saved all of your PBEM files it's not a problem. Load in the new textures, and then go back and watch the movies of all the previous turns in order. Just remember to end each movie turn by hitting escape rather than done (but if you forget you can still Alt-Q out of it). This way you will have your new graphics, your PBEM game will continue without contiuity problems, and the old graphics will merely be the memory of a bad dream. After you do this once, you will always prefer to number your PBEM turns 001Axis, 001Allies, 001Movie rather than 001, 002, 003 because with the pure numbers it can be a pain to remember which file you need to click on to watch a sequence of replays. Oh, and when you do it, hit Shift-Q first and make sure your bases and flags are turned off. That way you'll be able to take some interesting screenshots along the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALL I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW is are there any HIGH CONTRAST terrain files for CMETO!?!?!!?? Or will CMAK's modded high contrast terrain files look right in CMETO if they are used? I would think not. Thx for your time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off-topic, but can anyone tell me if it is possible to have North African terrain in CMAK after July 1943? i.e is there a 'trick'? Currently working on Modern Middle East battle for CMAK..... Thanks, anyone.... Regards, Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
