carlrender Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Just take bmp's 3320-3325 out of CMAK and plop them into your CMBO bmp folder and you get what I believe is an Andrew Fox vehicle. The Humber was my last remaining item in CMBO which didn't have (and needed) a good replacement, so I am really pleased about this!

Green Hornet Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Great tip. Thanks, Limey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Yeah, thanks Limey, much better. Only a couple of days ago I removed the old scout cars from a scenario because they were SO ugly. It was by far the ugliest vehicle in CMBO. The CMAK one looks superb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlrender Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 On closer inspection it seems the CMAK Humber doesn't fit the CMBO hard-coding perfectly. There are some misplaced parts towards the rear of the vehicle. I will take a look at the individual bmps and if I can adjust them to fit CMBO I will do it and post to cmmods. May also darken the colour to match the Daimler. Apologies for the poor advice 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 If that was poor advice, I would like to get it on a daily base the rest of my life... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlrender Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 OK just uploaded the Humber to www.cmmods.com in the CMBO section. It is the lovely CMAK Humber Scout (by GEM rather than AF as I said before) with the rear boxes adjusted to fit the hard-coding better and recoloured to be more compatible with the darker green the Brits have in CMBO.

Aragorn2002 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 You're a man of your word, Limey! Excellent! Finally a decent Humber Scout car. Well, more than decent that is. Thanks for your trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 So you've found the Humber, have you? Thanks for posting it!!! BTW it is my work, and not Gordon's. My apologies if not all the bits fit just so--it was made to fit the CMBO Humber model and even then was completed in on evening (and night and early morning) of frantic pixel-crunching (it's a long story).

carlrender Posted December 12, 2003 Author Share Posted December 12, 2003 Andrew - thanks for a great vehicle. I thought it was yours at first because of the trademark 'streaks' on the bmp's but when I started working on them the textures seemed more like the ones Gordon used on some of his Russian scratch mods. As for the fit of the rear boxes - well I'm just really fussy about that sort of thing, much too much so most of the time. I think you did a great job on a vehicle for which the hard-coding is - quite frankly a bit of a nightmare! All those overlapping parts etc! Many thanks for your work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I second that, well done Andrew, thank you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 The Humber was a royal pain in the butt, because the original CMBO bmps were so blurry and indistinct that it was tough to use them as a guide for the new ones. I didn't have much time for trial-and-error fitting of the all the pieces, as I was working on a pretty tight deadline, although I thought they looked pretty ok at the time. It was late at night, well, early in the morning when I finished the thing so perhaps my judgement was off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinty Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Andrew and Limey, heaps of thanks for the great Humber. That was the last one I needed to finish my British and Commonwealth vehicles. I just installed it and it looks great! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
