Gen Von Television Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 [...] Whoa! Soap and water! (*) There's a windows mod manager that's the most elegant piece of software under the sun, I'm sure of it: McMMM ... "Martin's Combat Mission Mod Manager". Who is that Martin bloke anyhow? Someone should give him a medal GaJ Yeah! McMMM is nice, almost as the Modder I was using on the Mac ages back. Anyway, the CMMOS is a very powerful tool I'm learning to use (thanks a lot MikeT!), and I appreciate very much the effort made for us all by all the programmers and testers for free! But again it can be improved a lot under the GUI and the programming... For McMMM I made a short go, but is seems not so well organized to let you change on the fly all the units and features, expecially for CMBO, where you have to change many things to conform to different national armies' scenarios... OK then to upload all the stuff to your site GAJ: let me organize a bit all the archives I have around...:cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ales Dvorak Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 GreenAsJade, is this McMMM PC only? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Yes - I have a standing offer out there to port it to a Mac if someone gets me a Mac to use for the job. It's been a long wait (2003 I think I offered!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of CMMOS, this nice "organisation" put great demands on the mod authors to enable it. McMMM took an opposite approach: make life easy for mod authors as well Creating a mod that works with McMMM requires precisely zero effort on behalf of the mod author McMMM has a feature - "Mod Sets" - that not only enables good organisation of groups of mods, it also lets you specify where to download them all from and will actually download them for you!. You can read about it here Unfortunately this feature was never really picked up by the community - I'm not really sure why not. Maybe I didn't publicise it well, or maybe it's too much work creating mod packs (like it was too much work creating CMMOS mods... hence the reason that ran out of steam).

Gen Von Television Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Interesting feature: sure I'll dig it some more... I believe the main prob is about the organization of the GUI (user interface): i.e. in CMMOS the icons are still too small to understand what you're doing, there is no link to the preview or the mod-set as well, when you load the mods you cannot organize them in some useful manner (maybe folders, or just separator you can define and rename, etc); I believe if you can introduce these features on McMMM they would be very very useful, and a sure hit! Anyway you're doin' an excellent job! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Heh - I haven't touched McMMM code for at least 4 years. I suppose I have the code somewhere The new CMMODS is taking my time at the moment... GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchlstrt Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Feel free to put mine up, or I still have them & can upload 'em myself if that's easier for you. Good work. strt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I see that the fantastic uploading volunteers have done yours already Take a look! GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 It's certainly been a while since I last visited the forum, and I've only just learned of CMMODS shutting down. Damn shame, that. You go ahead and use my mods. Oh, and a big 'Hello' to all you guys! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabe Booth Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 i am pretty sure i gave the ok via an email request a few months/weeks ago. so just in case...it OK. Most of mine are rescued mods by others anyway or patches to other's mods 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KG_Jag Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Martin--all of a sudden late last night I encounter trouble uploading mods. Out on the blue I got a message that I needed a newer Flash program to proceed. That was on my old desk top. I downloaded the latest version and that did not fix things--even after several reboots. I tried my laptop and always received an error message. Do you know what's up and can you provide any suggestions to resolve these issues? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I had some trouble with the service provider overnight - I wonder if that caused this (though I'm not sure how!) The site seems to be working right now - you could try again. You also could press control and shift while you press reload, which I _think_ causes it to reload everything (including the flash plugin it uses). Let me know how you go... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I also thought: get your browser to delete/clear all it's cookies. GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaraath Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I managed to get all the CMAK and CMBB mods, I could fill in gaps if any in the archive turn out to be corrupt due to downloading problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did not work still doesn't work. However, on my laptop I switched from Firefox to IE and have been able to upload using it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Wow - something really broke there eh? I'm really suspecting cookies at this point - if you can get firefox to clear all it's cookies this might help. The only other way to try to solve it would be to get on line at the same time as me, try it out, and I can look for error messages in the logs (has to be done together because the logs don't last long). Or we could just shrug our shoulders! GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KG_Jag Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 As long as I still have one way in, I'm OK. Just hope others are not having any problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
