Battlefront Repository Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 This is a NEW totally reworked version of Vin's animated text mod CMBN to v2.0 thanks to Marco Bergman taking an interest in the mod concept and offering the graphic contributions.This mod changes the soldier stat text to make it easier to distinguish the actions of each soldier in the squad, and separate teams within the squad by use of type styles, and symbols. It gives the text an "animated" feel, and gives the player a clearer picture of the actions at a glance. The mod contains two versions. One is "heavy”, and one is "light" with the only difference in the two being the action "Spotting". The “heavy” version uses a symbol of an "eye to show the action. The “light” version maintains the word as a kind of filter that can be ignored making the more important symbol actions stand out. Other than that all graphic symbols in the "legend" are used.To change anything to your preference you can draw the symbols in the “string” text file using the number code that is on the font explain pic. To draw hold down the Alt key while pressing the numbers on the NUMBER PAD ONLY, then release the alt key. You will see a symbol then appear where you have typed, but the graphic symbol will show in the game. Have fun, and enjoy!Vin (Vinnart)*IMPORTANT. This mod will only work for CMBN, and is not CMSF compatible. There is a CMSF version available at the repository as well. More... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Thanks. Been waiting for this CMBN version since you came out with the CMSF mod. Fabulous, magnificent and very intuitive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce90 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 This is a great mod. Is there a way to give a different symbol for a wounded casualty and a dead one ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I think the problem is that the dead do not appear in any of the control/info windows. It's been mentioned before that it would be helpful if the KIA and WIA actually stayed in the squad window but in different shades so knew who bit the bullet and which weapons you may have lost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnart Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 This is a great mod. Is there a way to give a different symbol for a wounded casualty and a dead one ? No, this is not possible as both KIA and WIA are considered casualties, and share the same text description in the string text. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
