AndrewTF Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Inspired by Phillipe's mine marker thread, I decided to revisit my CMBB minefield markers that were lost in the Great Mod Crash of '03. This time I added three additional sets, all based on historical WWII German examples! The mod pack includes two versions of the red/white striped German minefield signs, one with an authentic sans-serif typeface, and one with Fraktur script(as depicted in the US Army "Handbook on German Forces"); as well as white "Achtung! Minen" signs. Lastly, an AP-mine-only square sign with a skull and letter "M" is also included. These may be used in CMAK, CMBB, and CMBO without alteration. They are higher resolution than the standard mine signs. Get them while they're hot at the CM Mod Database. Up next is this bad boy: I've been noodling around with this since CMBB, and it's about time we had something to replace the old lo-res CMBO textures for the sIG 33. The CMBB versions are close to finished, and I can wrap up the CMAK set as soon as I find which BMPs control the textures for the breech and top of the breech block, which of course are numbered differently than in CMBB. :mad: A side view to show the wooden "artillery wheels" and reworked carriage: The desert version in proper Afrika Korps brown: There will be an alternate BMP with no tools on the shield, and maybe a tricolor camo version. Depends on how much more time I want to spend on it. [ September 22, 2004, 01:02 PM: Message edited by: AndrewTF ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Wonderful work. Is the CMBB version of the sIG 33 compatible with CMBO with a bit of re-numbering? And do we have any idea what the Soviets used to mark minefields? (I'm trying very hard not to quote Marshall Zhukov on ignoring the presence of minefields and pretending they're artillery barrages). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I, for one, could not be happier to see that big 150mm gun! Like you, that's been on my 'to do' list for years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Very nice work Andrew. I agree about the 150mm Infantry Gun (sIG 33) it really needed that reworking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Here's some useful added references for you (though it looks from your mod like you may already have found this site): 150mm gun picts Are you thinking of attempting that slightly wavy gun shield outline (he said mischeviously)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I found that site already... Thanks, though! I've been debating as to whether I try the wavy gun shield, though. The proportions are funky enough as it is. I might give it a try and see what happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Thank you, thank you, and thank you. I totally agree with the others, finally that 150mm whopper gets a redo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
