MikeT Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I just posted the new version of CMMOS at CM Mod Database. CMMOSV4.05 is in the CMBO section along with the rulesets for CMBO. V4.05a also includes support for CMAK! Rulesets for CMAK are in the CMAK section of the Database. Several mods have already been done and more are in work. These will also be posted as time permits. The RuleSets for V4.05a have been zipped into a zip file for easier downloading. Simply unzip that file and install every ruleset, again install every one. This is especially important for CMBO mods since some install several mods at the same time, some into several rulesets. For any questions, comments, complaints, please contact MikeT at miket6065@sbcglobal.net 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurra Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Listen up, people. If you are not stuck with any other mod manager, you should really try the revamped version of CMMOS. Mike has done a terrific job. It´s good looking, well organized and there will be a continuing support with mods. Must I mention that a tremendous job has gone into this? You will not get disappointed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guachi Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Thanks for all the effort. I fiddled around with CMMOS way back in 2001 and am downloading 4.05a now and will give it a try. Jason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweed Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Hi, I just download CMMOS V4.05a from CMMODS, but along with the rulesets and mods themselves. I installed CMMOS, ran the updater and now when I run it I get the option to select only CMBO and CMBB. The menu bar says CM Mod Option Selector v4.03. Any ideas on why I'm not seeing the option for CMAK and what steps I can take to fix it? I didn't see an uninstall option, but I tried deleting, redownloading and reinstalling with the same results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Gregg Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I'm having the same problem,it doesn't seem to overwrite version 4.03 (unless I'm doing something wrong).I've opened the file and it seems to install but my CMMOS is still version 4.03.What's up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted April 29, 2004 Author Share Posted April 29, 2004 A coworker did the install shield version of this for me. He asked me to test it out before it finialized some details. There is a point in the install where you can accidentially press cancel, I did it the first time around, and ended the install process. I am assuming that this is what happened. Try installing 4.05a again but watch and read carefully before you press any hot button. Let me know the results. I just checked my work PC and I do have 4.05 loaded, it says so on the top of the window. So I think it is safe to assume you accidentially cancelled the install process.

Major Gregg Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 It just does not override version 4.03.I've redownloaded the file and unzipped it and it will install fine but it does not overwrite version 4 .03.Has anyone been able to get it to do that? I have Gordon's v4.03 and it works fine and all the upgrades he did worked over the older versions he had, but this one doesn't work at least for me.I didn't hit any cancel buttons by mistake or anything like that,if someone has d/loaded this and had version 4.03 installed already and it worked by overwriting version 4.03 post what you did since I feel like an idiot cause it isn't working for me.Sorry Mike,I think there's a problem here.The first time I d/l the file it would unpack the files and then it would lock up in my install wizard and I'd have to ctrl/alt/delete to get out,then last night I re d/lded the file and it seemed to install just fine but I still had version 4.03 with no CMAK file just CMBO/CMBB so after numerous times I quit.Then I saw someone else post about this and I did as well,tonight I re d/lded the file again and it will lock in my install wizard again right after it unpacks and it just isn't working.Anyone? or should we move this to Tech? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 OK, how about this. I can email you the CMMOS.exe and the zipped file with the CMAK filelists. You will create a folder tree in the CMMOS directory for CMAK, that will have two folders called MODS and FILELISTS. See the folders for CMBB and CMBO and just copy that. You place the CMAK filelists in the FILELISTS folder. The rename the old CMMOS.exe file to CMMOS_old.exe and place the new CMMOS.exe to CMMOS folder. That should get you running. If interested just email me at miket6065@sbcglobal.net MikeT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweed Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hi all, When I was given the option to install or repair the CMMOS upgrade, I selected repair - and that seemed to do the trick on my computer. I'm not sure what went wrong or where, but that might work as well. Mike, many thanks for your suggestions and help. The program looks fantastic! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 I hope you are right tweed. I did check this out on my work PC, XP Pro. I installed 4.3 first then installed 4.5 over that. It didn't remove any mods or rulesets and CMAK installed with no problems. I talked with Greg Hellem up here, he did the installshield for me, he commented that maybe the problem PCs are using Windows95 or ME. However a work around is possible I just need to send you the right files and you can hand build the CMMOS yourself. Very easy and detailed instructions are possible for any "PC Challenged" among us.

Rob Murray Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Thanks Mike for all the hard work. Will I have to uninstall my old version of CMMOS ( can't remember the version number - it has all the CMBB CMMOS stuff { plus what I "home CMMOS'ed" for CMBB ). I'm my parents apt. right now & it doesn't look like I'm going to get home for another week or so ( my dad's having a REALLY bumpy recovery from his cancer surgery ). Anyway, both parents are in ICCU at the hospital at the moment ( Mom has congestive heart failure & will need to go a nursing home temporarily after she's discharged from hospital as I can't look after her properly ). Thanks for listening folks; it's been 4 awful weeks around here. I hope my parents start recovering soon, the constant worrying is driving me 'round the bend. :confused: :eek: [ April 30, 2004, 02:54 PM: Message edited by: Rob Murray ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Rob, God bless and keep you and your parents. 3 years after having a lung removed for cancer, my mother is just now finally getting back to normal, so I know how hard it is to live your own life and take of them. Hang in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 Rob, for me 4.05a installed right over 4.03 but two have reported problems of not installing at. If you prefer I can simply email the new CMMOS.exe and the filelists. You create the necesssary folders in the CMMOS folder and you are done. On your parents, I lost mine years ago. I know EXACTLY how you feel. Damn you get sick no problems you can tough it out. They get sick there is nothing you can do to help. The most terrifying feeling in the world. All my hopes and prayers to you all. MikeT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Murray Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Thanks to all for the kind words & thoughts. Mike would you be willing to email me the CMMOS stuff after I get back home ( should be about 1-2 weeks - I hope !). I can't use the CMMOS files here ( no CMAK, CMBB, etc. ). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurra Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 When I tried installing version 4.05, all cmbo and cmbb stuff along with the CMMOS core files installed under C\Program Files\(default option in the setup) and the required CMAK folders(with filelists and so)installed under C\Program\. I chose repair and just transfered the CMAK folders over to Program Files\...and everything worked. My best wishes for Rob Murray and his parents.

Major Gregg Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Mike, I e-mailed you my address if you can send me the CMMOS file I'll install it that way.I've tried to d/load this zip again and it locked at 14 sec and then it ended but the file was not complete.I'm runnig windows XP by the way and we have quite a bit of anti-virus protection running,maybe that's it I don't know.Thanks for your help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 Haven't seen the email yet but as soon as I get it I will email over the files and the instructions. Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Gregg Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Mike, Just want to thank you for sending me the files for CMMOS V4.05.I followed your instructions and it works perfect,I now have 4.05.Don't really know why I couldn't get it to install but this way was pretty simple too!CMMOS is a great tool along with MCMMM and I can now get to d/loading all these great mods again.As a more silent member that reads more of the threads than posts, I again want to thank you for all the time and effort put into this for us all to enjoy.Keep up the great job,it really is appreciated! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJRimmer Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 If I get this program can I put the mods on a cd and use CMMOS to install them from the cd or do the mods have to be on the hard drive? AJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 MG, glad to hear it. I was very worried about this. Oh, thank you trust me there are many many mods I have not posted yet. BTW, have you checked out the Pacific mod?? I am very proud of that. Feel free the spread the files and how to use them around. AJRimmer, sorry mods are installed in the HDD as CMMOS is installed. Now maybe you could install CMMOS on the CD and run it from there. I haven't tried myself so I cannot promise it will or will not work. Please let me know the results if you give it a try.

GreenAsJade Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 It's worth noting MG's point: there's nothing stopping people using McMMM _and_ CMMOS. As far as I know they coexist perfectly happily. AJR: McMMM can load mods off a CD. It does take one small trick - email me if you need to instructions. (I'd have sent you an email instead of hijacking this CMMOS thread, except your profile won't let me!) GaJ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Gregg Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Your right GaJ MCMMM and CMMOS work fine together,it's amazing how much these two improve an already great game into so much more.I'll try the Pacific mod as soon as I get some time to d/load everything,looks like it would be fun to try. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simovitch Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Your right GaJ MCMMM and CMMOS work fine together Wait a tick... here's a mind bender - if you mod say, the buildings with MCMMM and then you mod again using a CMMOS mod without uninstalling the first, and then you forget which MM you used and try to uninstall the CMMOS building mod with MCMMM you would be on your way to a losing both the MCMMM mod and the original BFC file. am I right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
