GSX Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I use MCMMM. Downloaded file, then went to install, said nothing was done. Then checked against installed BMP (which is nothing obviously) got message invalid BMP there. Re-tried and same happened, any suggestions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a couple of things: 1) They are photoshopped bmps saved as PSD then resaved as bmps. Can you get info on a file? What does it say about it? Normally cmmods changes files into a generic bmp file type, possibly it's stuck as a photoshop bmp. If so can you open them with any image editing app on your PC and resave them. 2) Not sure how MCMMM works as I don't use it. Have you installed any other mods OK 3) Suzuki owner mmm... VTR myself To other mods sluts - Have you nstalled it with / without problems ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSX Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 By cmmods, do you mean cmmos? Not sure if you do. Only the download said cmmos not compatible, excuse my ignorance here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 Ahh! These aren't formatted for CMMOS* which is another subject altogether. CMMODS is the repositery website where you downloaded them from. *PC File switching program but you said you have MCMMM which does the same thing but by a completely different method . Are you trying to use two file switching programs? Now I'm not sure what is going on :confused: Originally posted by GSX: By cmmods, do you mean cmmos? Not sure if you do.

GSX Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Nope MCMMM here, I did download them from CMMODS. I have had no problems with any other file and have used MCMMM for ages. I am not trying to use 2 switcing Progs as I only use MCMMM. Should they just be added to the bmp folder then and unzipped to there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 Yeah just bung it in your bmp/data folder and see what happens - It shouldn't overwrite any files, as winterised vehicles uses a different numbering convention to the stock bmps (+5000). *fingers crossed* Remember its a Panther G (not late) model that'll become apparent when ground conditions are set to snow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I just dl'd at work and then added to McMMM as a new mod. McMMM installed it and didn't complain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSX Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I tried unzipping to bmp folder and no result, starnge, must just be me then. I will have to live with it I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Might be just a bad download, try it again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmar Bijlsma Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Can't get it to show up in the old fashioned 'dumping it in the BMP folder'. I can only view 62946, 62953, 62954 with MS paint and XP preview thingie, every other BMP won't open. Two downloads. Hmmm. I'd like to hear from people who've had this one working please. Not that looking at the Lucky Strike summer skins is a burden I can't put up with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I only have the demo at work, but looking in the bmp folder windows only displays some of the thumbnails. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Murray Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I've tried to CMMOS it for my own use & when I look in the bmp folder only some of the files can be displayed or viewed. I'm using Irfanview. I would really like to use this mod too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 Give it a try again - Not sure what's up as they show up for me as can be seen in my screenie - I've put up a new folder after resaving them in another image program not as windows Bitmaps but as generic bitmaps without the file preview. All done the same way in PS7 as I did the previous allied mods Ho hum I'll put on hold uploading anymore until this one works 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macphail Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 i have a real, hidden bmp folder, in the run folder. i have been fooled more than once by the fake one in the root game folder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 The new one works. The zip has an extra mac file for every bmp. I just tell McMMM to skip them. Looks great next to somebody's VG late with snow from BO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great next to somebody's VG late with snow from BO. Marvellous! Not sure where the xtra files came from as the original folder was 2.1mb and the new one is 1.7mb due to the missing file previews... Guess what I was working on next. It's just like England playing a 5 day test for a draw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Good, keep going. I used Tracer's Snow Panther Pack. Polygons are different shapes and I have some pink spots. Good enough for now, but a proper set would be nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Murray Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Thanks for fixing this. I think ( I'm not sure about this as it's been a while ) but Bogdan's CMBB winter Panthers may work. I haven't played with them but have looked at them { some time ago } to check out what they looked like in the game & they looked fine( no pinkies, etc ).

Wicky Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 Well spotted Rob - I couldn't find them earlier, Bogdans Panthers look fine and should transfer over to CMAK. I'll finish dusting off the Late G and look around for what else needs doing - Maybe back to the dusty Sherms with the bloody difficult rounded hulls and turrets *weeps* Originally posted by Rob Murray: Thanks for fixing this.

junk2drive Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Snowy vs Whitewash Most of the Bulge scenarios are in mud or light snow. IMO ww and white smocks would not be used unless the ground was white and expected to stay that way. I prefer to use the snowy mods. I tried using CMBO snowy ambush 251s but the engine uses different bits of the bmps to cover the 3d frames. I have a 251/9 that is ok. I will work on the PZIVJ this weekend. I'm not a grog but there is a lack of tri color and ambush for CMAK and snowy versions. So Wicky, if you are looking for a project, snowy German AFVs please And Allied guns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
