Becket Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 I would love to mod CMBB to add the Superscience/Pulp Fiction units of Dream Pod 9's Gear Krieg wargame (http://www.dp9.com/Worlds/GK.htm), especially the armored walkers. Is this possible? Can new units be added? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Nope. If you want to mod units, you're limited to changing their textures or sounds only -- no new models or game mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Welcome to the CM community. Your question is a common one when people first get here. Unfortunately, the underlying 3-d models that CM uses are hard-coded into each game's engine. This is one reason the game can display so many units in the field in so much detail. This hard-coding has a large part to play in allowing the programmers to model a lot of lead flying and hitting tanks in a crowded battlefield. As was previously noted, you can alter the "skin" graphics for almost every vehicle and weapon in the game...so the phrase "pink panther" could (gulp!) become true on your battlefield if you so choose. Hope this helps. BTW even if your interests lie in sci-fi, stick around a while, this is a great game and a terrific forum. Who knows, you might get bitten by the CM bug...or is it Borg?

Never fear, I still love the game as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wacky Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 It would be nice if only the data was hardcoded and we could actually use different 3D models. The stats for each tank would remain the same, but we could throw in some really cool hi-poly Panthers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
