icecreamsoldier Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 I have recently purchased CMBO and already my personal life is in shambles. I think it was Butthead who once said "THIS is the coolest thing I've ever seen" Anyway, my question is: I've been hitting all the great CMBO enthusiast sites out there and have begun to salivate at the thought of using some of the "mods" you guys have created. Problem is, I am somewhat computer challenged and would have no idea what to do with the mods that I download. Could somebody lend this little brother a hand without using too many acronyms? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runyan99 Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Most mods are simply a zip file which includes all of the .bmp files used for the vehicle in question. All you have to do is overwrite the .bmp files in the Combat Mission BMP directory with the new mod files, and you have installed the mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leta Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Welcome to the Combat Mission world, soldier! Be prepared to abandon all your other hobbies! OK. The easiest manner to use the mods is (if you are using a PC, not a Mac): 1.- Unzip the files (use Winzip.exe to do that) 2.- Copy the *****.bmp obtained files to your c:/CombatMission/Bmp directory 3.- Starts CMBO Don't forget to do a safeguard copy of your BMP directory. If you install a mod and then you see the previous mod was better, simply restore the previous BMP folder. IMPORTANT NOTE: Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!

Agua Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 First, welcome! (where's that CMBorg?) Second, you may want to read a couple the intro article over at Madmatt's CMHQ concerning installation of the mods. There is some particular order that you need to install some of the terrain mods if you are going to do a complete overhaul (its really something simple though, like grass first, then walls, then buildings, or something like that). But yes, it is very simple. Again, welcome aboard - - this IS the ultimate computer wargame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
