Sgian Dubh Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Hi all, I have created a new 'thineline' mod for CMBB based on the thinline mod created for CMBO. WHen you are zoomed far out, the lines becomes dashes or evner dots, but I think I like it better for the closer views as they don't obscure the field of view so much. I don't have a way to post this somewhere and I don't really have time to set something up at the moment as I have promised some gridded terrains for CMBO to some people. If some one is intereste in posting this for all interested parties, I will be happy to make the files available to them. Sgian Dubh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgian Dubh Posted September 5, 2002 Author Share Posted September 5, 2002 Sorry for all of the typos. Lack of sleep from CMBB (and modding) is resulting in fast but inaccurate typing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwacker Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Can't help you out but please find somewhere to host as I think your mod is likely a real improvement. If you can't could you e-mail them to me at the e-mail in my profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 If none of the big boys step up, I could host it at my GD site, properly credited to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwacker Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Big improvement - I'll certainly use it. Michael - certainly worth hosting if you would be so kind. One suggestion - is it possible to do a similar mod of the covered arc lines or are these hardcoded? It is gonna get very cluttered when I set up numerous MG arcs to stop the red hordes!

Michael Dorosh Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Mod is on my GD site - if one of you fellows would be so kind as to send a jpg screenshot of the mod in use, I would appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgian Dubh Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 I'll poke around and see if I can figure out which BMP is being used for the arc lines. Once I find the it, I will modify it. I will try to do this today before I leave for a week's holiday. If you happen to know which BMP file it is, let me know ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgian Dubh Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 I scanned through all of the .BMPs. I can't find a match for the color of the cover arc lines. However, I looked again in the 2020.BMP and there is a color match between the cover arc line and the box which is 10th down from the top, including the box with the arrow as 1. If CMBB is taking the line for the cover arc from the 2020.bmp, then it should already be 1/2 of the original thickness. I'll play around with this some more.

Michael Dorosh Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I wonder if I uploaded the page...should be under CMBO, then Miscellaneous... Try http://members.shaw.ca/grossdeutschland/misc.htm And ignore the reference to Parabellum....whoops.

Sgian Dubh Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 A few screen captures later and I have discovered that the cover arc and armor cover arc line colors are not in the 2020.bmp. I can find no other BMP to match, so I am guessing that they may be hard-coded - at least in the demo. I'm going to start another thread asking BFC if this is the case.

Sgian Dubh Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 Based on the reply to my question about the thickness of the covered arc lines they are indeed hard-coded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
