Dressler Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 I just installed the very latest release of CMMOS (after using the old CM Mod Manager v1.0f for far too long) and so far it has been working brilliantly. I do have one question about Bergman's Shermans (particularly the US and FF M4's) and CMMOS before I begin the task of downloading all the zips. Which tab will display Bergman's plain OD M4 variants with the extra gear and doodad options on the turrets and which zip do I need for these? Or should I just download all the Bergman Sherman zips? The reason I ask is that there are about 20MB of Bergman zips and I'm on a 56K connection. Thanks in advance! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dressler Posted September 27, 2002 Author Share Posted September 27, 2002 Ok, I've been looking it over and I think I understand it. The Sherman zip is for Can,Pol,and UK, correct? Then the Sherman (light) zip is US and FF, correct? From those, you choose whether you want high or lo res. Ok, so how do I switch between Gordon's cammo Shermans and Marco's OD? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dressler Posted September 28, 2002 Author Share Posted September 28, 2002 Ok, I've figured out the cammo bit, but can someone help me figure out how to get Bergman's US and FF M4's on CMMOS? My other idea was obviously wrong as now I have 2 sets of Commonwealth Shermans. Anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 The answer, somewhat surprisingly, is that to get the CMMOS Amie and FF Shermans, you don't download a CMMOS mod. :eek: A little history of CMMOS might shed some light on this. CMMOS was developed by Gordon Molek as a (mutha' beautiful) extension of his work with Marco on the batch file system that Marco and he originated to display alternate nationality Allied AFVs. So when Gordon developed CMMOS, he made it compatible with the old batch file system and most all of Marco's mods (and his camo versions). So, to get the CMMOS Shemans you want, go to CM HQ's 3rd party mod section and get: bergman_all_US_FF_m4_HR.zip. Once you unzip it,throw away all the old batch file system stuff (everything but the BMPs themselves.) If you get the Option Pak as well, you'll also have aerial recog banners, 3 piece noses and some of the other options that show up in CMMOS as well. There is a compatibility patch for the old (pre-CMMOS) batch file mods in the CMMOS section at CM HQ - you may want to D/L that and install it as well, although I'm not certain that anything in the Sherman set needs it (it slightly changes a few BMP names for compatibility). - Old Dog (who was there at the creation) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dressler Posted September 29, 2002 Author Share Posted September 29, 2002 Thanks! That did the trick. I've spent the last 3 or 4 days tweaking my game with the CMMOS editor and it has never looked better. I can't believe I held on to the old Mod Manager so long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
