dcbryan1 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 My first post was answered. Thank you. I'm too damn busy gaming. I got this game on Friday, spent most of the weekend playing, went to work an hour late Monday, an hour late today, and got off early for an eye appointment (I couldn't see a reason to stay at work and not play CMBN). Anyways. What do you pros on the forum consider the "MUST HAVE" downloads as far as patches and Mods? Thanks... DCBryan1 ....long time Battlefront gamer.....new poster.

Erwin Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 As a mod s l u t of many years standing, I find instead of wasting time trying to view em just d/l everything you can and shove them into the Z folder and then see what you want to change/take out. 80%-90% of the mods are great as is, but some do conflict and some you may want to select from different versions that are provided. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymru Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Is there a dedicated gamer out there who would like to set up a mod and scenario rating thread? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 NO mods are a 'must', actually. This isn't exactly CMBO. Nothing cries out desperately to be 'fixed', like those frighteningly over-bright trees in CM:Afghanistan. Though there are any number of pleasant mods to have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJFHutch Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Those CMA trees were pretty crazy, it's like they lifted them straight out of the Amazon basin or something. The desaturated CMBN terrain mod is quite good, but I find it goes much too far. By default it looks a bit cartoon-like though, especially those humungous flagstone things. A mix of the two with a slight 'cool' colour shift would be nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyBucket Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 One mod I consider essential is Vein's support chatter. There was something just jarringly wrong about the modern radio operator sounds that come with the game. 'Course, I used to be an RTO so I'm probably paying too much attention. Rambler's weapons are very nice, as are Mord's US voices, Dietrich's German voices, and the sound mods from Odball and others add a lot. I like most of Vein's effects such as tracers, muzzleflash, smoke, etc. I am using Aristoteles terrain rather than Vein's. I run JuJu's UI, and I can't recall what mod I'm using that changes the bearclaw bases to hexagons...Bill H? I'm also using a mod that let's you choose divisional patches for the US, but I think it's down pending retooling for the patch...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 <snip>What do you pros on the forum consider the "MUST HAVE" downloads as far as patches and Mods? <snip> As someone pointed out earlier the generic game looks really really good. I only consider a few mods really important and a few are just fun. Here is the prioritized list of that I am using. Must haves: CMBN Icons_billy_sp WW2 tactical symbols used by the German and US forces - the German symbols took some getting used to but the US ones are very similar to what NATO uses now so that felt very natural. Overall I really like what it adds to the game.Niessuh_icon_contact_Balkenkreuz Updates the unknown contact symbol to use the star for the US and the cross for Germanyz_Juju's TweakedUI I realy like the chagnes he made (except for the black command buttons - see CMBN_Wolfe_Coloured_Command_Buttons below). Juju him self said he liked Wolfe's colour tweaks to his tweak so the above link to 1.01 verison may already have them.CMBN_Wolfe_Colored_Command_Buttons_1-3 Put some colour back into the command buttons - taken out by Juju's TweakedUI. As I said the newest version of Juju's UI might already have coloured buttons so this might no longer be needed. Just for fun: Ramblers_Weapons_v1 Nicer looking weapons for when you take screen shotsVeins_tracers_C I just like themVin's animated text CMBN v1.21 I like the idea of making the text easer to follow but this version actually makes it harder to read (IMHO) but I keep it because it has the teams hightlighted well. I plan to try the 2.0 version and if it works well it will bubble up to the must have section. I also really like the look of Juju's walls and bridges and I want to try them out. There are also a variety of very nice dirty vehicle mods that I would like to try out too. But alas I am too busy playing the game to try them all out. Guess I am lazy too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, that's a great description, BloodyBucket. I do have the Italian Campaign uniforms re-tooled and up in the Repository and at CMMODS, but haven't finished all the Normandy units yet. But I do have the 28th ID done, in case you are interested... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
