IronX Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Ever wanted to recreate the final battle at the Reichstag in Berlin? Well with some artistic license and this mod, now you can. The files you need can be found at the Combat Mission Modification Database (cozog). This mod is not for the faint hearted. It's a large file (10mb) and a bit of a pain to install and uninstall. Due to in-game restrictions it replaces many of the tall buildings with Reichstag files and so needs to be uninstalled when you want to play a different scenario. But at the moment it's the only way to play the battle until new building models are included in some future patch (subtle hint to Battlefront ). Enjoy!

benpark Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Good Gawd, that is amazing! This MUST be CMMOS'ed! Now I wish there was a "blank" building .bmp slot, so important buildings could be modded without making every building the same... VERY nicely done!

benpark Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 I unzipped the file and it is an .ace ("reichstag.ace") file-no .bmp's. Any ideas/ help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJK Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Unless I'm mistaken, you should be able to use Mike Houghton's (KiloIndiaAlpha)CM Mod Manager to load/unload this with ease. Maybe Mike can let us know if that is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoerner Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Looks great and i would like to use it, but without being CMMOS compatible, i'll surely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pakfan Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Jesus Christ, look at the BMP numbers, and make a backup of the original files yourself! Where's the problem? You have the original bmps on your CD anyway. It's easy to get rid off an unwanted Mod! Just copy the original bitmaps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronX Posted November 28, 2002 Author Share Posted November 28, 2002 I hope to have a CMMOS version available sometime today. At present, however, I'm having a few problems getting a ruleset to display a restore default icon. The new CMMOS version will still be archived with WinAce simply because it reduces files to half the size WinZip does (in this case 10mb vs 20mb).
