Wanted: The Greatest Mod Ever Told


Recommended Posts

OK, correct me if this is out there, but I *think* I've looked everywhere for the one single mod which I'd like to have. Modders don't get me wrong, what you're doing is tres chic, but when I look at my battlefield I don't see anything which looks shabby to me, it all looks pretty cool already, with this one single exception- the generic unit icons. I mean when that enemy unit "disappears".

The Soviet one... WHA...?!? What's wrong with a nice Red, clean edged Hammer 'n' Sickle?!? The Hungarians have something which looks like a psychedelic Rorschach(sp?) blot, and the Germans... well, I'm sorry but political correctness can move to Berkeley, I want a nice authentic swastika there.

It seems like most of the opinions I express on this forum are mine and mine alone, though maybe that's just internet stage fright, but I'll be really surprised if you guys don't also think that these generic unit icons kind of "break" the graphic aura of CM. They stick out like a sore thumb, as the expression goes; they just don't seem to belong there. Is it just me?

If nobody wants to tackle it, I'll do it myself if someone tells me which BMPs they are?

I'm not really an artiste, though... smile.gif

Oh really? Well that *is* an excellent precedent. I promise patience.

Follow these steps to get most above issues fixed. (so when you get right german flag you dont get wrong finnish flag etc.)

1) Install CoolJs realistic flags. http://www.garykrockover.com/cmbb/mods/CCJ_CMBB_RealisticFlagsV1.00.zip

2) Install historically correct unit ID bmps/flags for germans and soviet forces:
