MikeyD Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Now that we're all one big happy bmp folder family (macs and pcs) in CMBB, what's the chance this fancy CMMOS gizomo can be made to work on macs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 MikeyD, So far a Mac programmer hasn't been able to commit to working on the project. Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 Wait a minute. Who put these preview images here? These are still very much works in progress, so they're liable to change before they're released, but it appears the Soviets are preparing for a major winter offensive.

phil stanbridge Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Gordon, a truly outstanding piece of work. If you have a paypal or nochex account I will make a donation right now! One question for you. Is this 'the' winter effect for the units or will their be others like there was with the last incarnation? Ie, will their be 'frosted' variants, that looked so cool in CMBO. I always used that particular effect it looked so realistic. These mods look almost surreal with their white washes. I'm no expert so don't flame me, and I will definitely be using these.. Although alas, I'm on 56k. Ouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 *Captain Foobar*, I'll assume that's a good thing. phil, Nope, no paypal account, but thanks anyway. I consider the whitewashed vehicles (both these Soviet ones and the German dunkelgrau ones) as "emergency" mods to provide winter versions of as many of the vehicles and guns as possible as quickly as possible while not being too sureal. I believe these mods are historically representative of a fresh coat of whitewash based on many photographic examples. These mods take on the order of minutes per vehicle/gun. Unfortunately, the snow-covered mods take more like several hours per mod to do a decent job, and at almost 300 vehicles and guns, even assuming I ground out 3 per week to the total exclusion of everything else in my life we're talking about a 2 year project. I think I'd rather PLAY the game. Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hensworth Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Anyone who would like to tell me that I was right not to mess around with loose mods and wait for CMMOS/CMBB may now do so. Gordo, you are the one and only King of Modders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akdavis Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Little confused, we've got all those nice shots of dirtied-up, weathered tanks, but then we've white-washed tanks that are as clean as can be. Just wondering if this was intentional. Otherwise, they are absolutely beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Gordon, tell me that steel helmet from my beloved GD on the Sd Kfz 251 is a work in progress....and that you put it on backwards just to see if I was paying attention.... I love the winter mods, by the way, truly inspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted November 4, 2002 Author Share Posted November 4, 2002 akdavis, The reason is that it would take too long to produce 300 vehicles and guns with snowy and/or dirty suspensions. These are intended as "emergency" winter mods so that people have (hopefully a complete set of) winterized vehicles and guns to play with. Michael, Thanks for not taking too long to notice that. I guess my source about Grossdeutschland's "left-handed volunteer" brigade was incorrect. Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaTyR Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Woohoo ! The finns, the finns are coming ! Btw. it was snowing this morning and the landscape is starting to look "winterish", just -12 degrees Celsius yet tho' but soon we'll hit the big -20. Can´t wait for the winterized finns, I'm getting in the feel of Talvisota (the Winterwar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Posted November 13, 2002 Author Share Posted November 13, 2002 Well, he's still at it. Won't someone stop this boy before he mods again? You'll note that THESE armored cars are kinda yellow-ish underneath, as opposed to the previous armored cars that are kind of grey-ish underneath. And yes, CMMOS v4.00 should be release ANY DAY NOW.
