Panzertruppe Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Hi! CMMOS is a good program if you want to add new skins to the vehicals...different sky textures ect, but you still retain the original textures that came with the game and can be changed back over with the program. If you intend on modding your game, but are not sure which textures to change then CMMOS is a must. If you just want to change the original textures for good then just download the new skins you want( although you are changing the original BMP files).

Dazooz Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I enjoy so many of the great mods out there that it's difficult for me to just pick one and stick with it always. CMMOS is a great way to be able to keep track of different mods and change them easily without searching through hundreds of zip files. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythicalMino Posted June 26, 2003 Author Share Posted June 26, 2003 so...if my understanding is correct....these mods only enhance the graphics of current vehicles....they DO NOT add new vehicles...right? If so, then I am beginning to understand the nature of the mods.... But if they do add all new vehicles, then this will be a totally different beast.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 No new vehicles as such. Explore your CM folder, check out the Bmp files. Mods are the results of fella's like you or me thinking, "You know, I think that tank could look better" or " that bridge looks a bit plain". These fella's then spend hours if not days at their Macs and PCs redesigning the Bmp files, Wav files to make things look and sound better. Check 'em out. You'll love 'em Oh Yeah, and a big thanks to all those MODders out there. You guys really are the best... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzertruppe Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I cut my teeth on CMBB...so when I bought CMBO I was very disapointed by the outdated graphics. Well....thanks to all the great modders my CMBO looks just as good or in some cases better! Although new vehicals can't be added by the modders, some of the new "skins" make the original vehicals look like new additions to the game. It takes alot of work to mod your game, but that is what make the CM games the best you can buy.....period! Have fun! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Guys, about CMMOS, I am redoing the entire thing right now. I am about 75% done now only the terrain left to do then checking out the mods. Basically it will install in the same way as CMBB. This will reduce the game size since mods will no longer be unzipped into the bmp folder but remain zipped files that will be unzipped and installed as required. There will also be several new additions. Darknight is finishing up his British 21st Army Group CMMOS mod. I have already added several new CMBO mods I found at CM Mod Database. I am also going to, if I can figure out one small matter with the wav files, CMMOS my theater mods so you can fight the desert, France 1940, and even the Pacific in CMBO and then quickly uninstall the mod and return to France 1944. I am even going to do my Russian front mod for CMBO. I have taken the liberty of changing a few things. I am reducing the terrain mods to 1 maybe 2 rulesets, I have put the flag ruleset into the misc ruleset, I did both bfamily33's and Juju's weapons mods, plus many other changes. But the long and short of this is that CMMOS/CMBO will be much easier to use and installed/remove. MikeT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythicalMino Posted June 27, 2003 Author Share Posted June 27, 2003 then i should quit trying to download all the mods then??? So, should i just download the Pacific Mod, or should i just wait for it to be done for CMMOS???

MikeT Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Well your call there. I am still aways from getting the revamp done and then it must be tested and then must be posted at CMHQ. On the Pacific mod, remember that it writes over your existing game. So it must either be saved in zip format or you will have to reload the game when done with the Pacific.

Panzertruppe Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Thanks for the info MikeT! Keep us updated on the final program! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leopard Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I just bought the CMBO:special edition last week. Does it include any of these mods mentioned here, or are these mods independent of the new release? Absolutely love the game-I had enjoyed the CM:BB demo but was ready for more maps. Laying down that first artillery strike, after funnelling the enemy into a small area and surpressing them with rifle squads and LMG to keep them there, was worth the price of the game. Read the manual cover to cover the first day and then downloaded some charts by Chris Hare (thank you!). I'll get the CM:BB this fall when the re-release comes out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythicalMino Posted June 28, 2003 Author Share Posted June 28, 2003 what charts might you be speaking about??? (I just might be interested too) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzertruppe Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Welcome! The CMBO-SE already has the new terrain and sounds when you installed it. The mods included with the CD ( have to be installed manually) as far as new "skins" for the AFV's are some of the best by some of the best modders. There are so many nice mods out there you just have to check them....and add what fits your fancy. Enjoy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leopard Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 MythicalMino, These charts of which I speak were found in the dark recesses of past threads. The link is below http://users.erols.com/chare/cm/ Look near the bottom of the page for "CM1 XLS Tables - Tables in Excel format". Move that old chest out of the way, and just throw that blanket anywhere. Don't get the MS Works version, or CM2 (Barbarossa to Berlin) by accident. Hightlight every cell in the worksheet (use the select-all cell above and to the left of cell A1) change the font to black after unzipping (as mentioned below his link), and voila! You will be in Grog-heaven. Someone spent an long evening to short weekend compiling these great charts on penetration, firepower at range/angle, etc. Really good stuff to learn and compare weapons and armor with. Again, thanks to the (Chris Hare (I think). [ June 28, 2003, 09:12 PM: Message edited by: Leopard ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
