Sgt. Steiner Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Hi all. Have been gone from the forums quite a while now (got tired of CMBO finally). Waiting for my copy of CMBB to arrive.. This for Mad Matt: will you be releasing any mod packs for CMBB, as you did for CMBO? I also hope subdued terrain, etc CMBB mods will be forthcoming. Anyway, looking forward to dealing with Uncle Joe's minions.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kump Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I would say you are getting a "mod pack" with the 1.01 patch that is coming. It includes a host of new models and textures, including a few new improved textures for models already in place. Now that is what I call a mod pack! Actually, think about who delivered MDMP1 and MDMP2. Those same folks are doing new art for Patch 1.01 and later for 1.02, so I think we are safe to assume that this time around, we are getting the "mod" pack and game improvements/fixes in one package. Now you can't be disappointed with that, can you? EDIT: I really don't think of the Patch 1.01 as only a "patch". Its much more. There is no need for BFC to add additional models and textures as well as additional effects and features. They could just "fix" things. Its a patch, mod pack, and game extension all in one large splendid package. It actually shows BFC's love of their product and their desire to please this oh so demanding community. I'll take it!

Sgt. Steiner Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 Thanks for the reply! Great to hear that the old mod packs will now take the form of game updates (patches). I think I'll wait on installing all the mods I'm collecting until the v1.01 update arrives.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 It would be nice to see some winter mods, I like most of the summer stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energy76 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Originally posted by Sgt. Steiner: I also hope subdued terrain, etc CMBB mods will be forthcoming.Don't you think the terrain is subdued enough already? What we'll really need is terrain for the "bright" crowd. Quite honestly, the graphics are so much better to begin with in CMBB I don't see why the big fuss for mods...to me, mods aren't a really big enhancment.

kump Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 There is room for mods. All I want for Christmas is CMBB mods which are... 1) Tom's Snow Mod for CMBB light snow, including the tall pines and trees for "frozen" weather. 2) Normal tall pines are fine, but the Woods need redoing to give less lower cover and broadness so you can see units in woods better, plus add some differing green shades. 3) Take the wonderful CMBB textures and get some snowed on winter vehicles, snowed on winter vehicles, snowed on winter vehicles, and finally, some snowed on winter vehicles.

Apache Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Might be my monitor settings (don't think so) but, I think I'd prefer the tree foliage to be slightly less emerald metallic in colour. Minor gripe though. [ October 25, 2002, 08:13 PM: Message edited by: Apache ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Actually, look for correct vehicle polygons on some shared-graphics vehicles in the game, with associated bmp textures. I think it would be stretching it to call the update a 'mod pack'. I'd be surprised if they came out with old CMBO-style mod packs for CMBB. CMBO was operating under the handicap of those mac graphics files, and before mod manager programs came out switching graphics on macs was rather difficult. Now that everybody can use bmp files the need for 'official' mod packs has gone away. Not to say 3rd party 'mod packs' may not show up but I doubt they'll be officially sanctioned mod packs.

TheBigCheese Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I'd like to see a plug in so we can do 3D work,like practically every other game that is being released has! I guess thats just a pipe dream though but if you could I would be adding bags,tools helmets etc. to AFV's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
