AndrewTF Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 So I spent a couple hours (!) trying to download, play it for, oh, maybe 10 minutes, and then open up Photoshop, and, well, you know the rest. Here's what I splapped together: Arms and legs need work, and I'm still working on the officers, and later uniforms will follow shortly. I promise it will be released by the 20th! Looks kind of blurry in the demo. I tested the same textures in CMBO and they look REALLY sharp. These are NOT recolored stock graphics, but all new "scratchbuilt" (to borrow a modeler's term" textures. They give the uniforms a more contrasty and warmer look. The originals look great but I thought they looked a little too cyan. Some of the field gear is from photos, other bits are handmade in Photoshop. Can you tell which is which? Can't wait till I get my hands on the real thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Yes, you are pathetic. You haven't even finished modding all the infrantry in a game you don't even have yet? Why bother posting anything at all? (They look really nice Andrew) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had all this German stuff floating around here from my CMBO mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Dorosh Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 Andrew, I put a breadbag strap onto the German helmet but don't have the patience to clean it up any - were you planning any German helmet mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shatter Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 Well I guess I be the first annoying modslut to ask. When can I DL them, When can I DL them? No just kidding, they look great, keep up the hard to maintain your status as one of the Mod Gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 I'll throw in this version of the Old Style Officer's Field Cap (crusher). It's an alternative to the Schirmmütze that BFC included, essentially it is the same hat with the metal chincords removed. In reality the differences were more pronounced but would not be visible in its CM form (different material, BEVO insignia rather than wire embroidered, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I stated, I want to have this ready by 9/20. [ September 02, 2002, 08:31 PM: Message edited by: AndrewTF ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewTF Posted September 3, 2002 Author Share Posted September 3, 2002 Michael Could you be so kind as to e-mail the bmp for your helmet with the breadbag strap? I'd like to take a look at what you did. Also--maybe someone out there knows--I remember once not too long ago I ran across a website that gave the whole rundown on German helmets complete with paint colors and markings. Like a moron I didn't bookmark it. Anyone recognize it and know the URL. Keep in mind that there is a good possibility that I am delusional and such a site does not exist at all.

AndrewTF Posted September 4, 2002 Author Share Posted September 4, 2002 Another question: what's the preference for fieldgear? The original CMBB-style a-frame assualt getup with zeltbahn, etc. or the just basic gear as seen on the figure of the gunner. I prefer the latter myself. I also noticed that the gunner/weapons crew/spotter figure mentioned above has its own bmp (obviously). Maybe I should make him an NCO, and get rid of the Mauser ammo pouches and replace them with a pistol holster, as that's all the crews are armed with anyhow. Opinions?

Michael Dorosh Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 For weapons crews, you may want to use a pistol and a machine gun accessories pouch. As emailed, I sent you the bmp. Not a lot to start with. I am looking for my real breadbag strap and if I find it, I will photo it on one of my helmets. The URL you want is on google, I accessed the German helmet site last night - search for German helmets and I think it comes up in the first couple of hits. Sadly enough, their breadbag strap page is not completed! The site is professional looking but is lacking in content right now. Should be one to watch.
