So I’ve been playing around with the explosion graphics in CM – I’ve enjoyed the ones from the various mods, but it always bothered me how huge and cartoony they looked. So I set about making an explosion inspired by Project Reality and Squad(…), in fancy 1024 high resolution

I was honestly a bit annoyed by CM’s rendition of the Germans firing their LMG’s with one hand on the barrel, so I saw that US soldiers in the modern games seemed to hold the M240 closer to what a German GPMG should be.

So I swapped some files and voilà.

Install it by unzipping it into the Z folder inside your data folder. Create it if you don’t have one.

It should work for all CM2 games.

Let the spirit of the MACHINE GUN be with you.

These files add more mod-tagged [snow] content including a whitewashed user interface, floating HQ icons with portraits, snowy portraits imported from FB and Russian skins with scarfs. All the artwork is Juju’s and Jorge MC’s modified. I am not able to include my Russian snowy portraits because of copyright restrictions.

RT Snow Expanded

User Interface Graphics Mod: Two files included. Juju’s original HQ icons mod-tagged so that variants can be loaded with each scenario and floating HQ icons with portraits imported from Juju’s original portraits. Reduced, recoloured and mod-tagged.

Shift-left clicking should change the barn till you get this one.

A white barn

It is suitable for anywhere and any period of Combat Mission where they have whitewashed barns.  I imagine that's most places.

It is in Standard Definition (if you like) so it will load quickly. I considered making it in HD (Like Kieme's Mods) 

but decided it was simpler this way and will not look out of place near existing buildings.

It is fully functional, men on foot can enter and shoot out, and it is destructible, as normal.

I am on the Battlefront forums as JulianJ so if you have any queries, please PM me.

Completely new style of portraits designed from the ground up.

Two Months in the making! See README for more info.

Reworked the menu mod I created the other day. Added a new background and some different font
styles to create a unique Red Thunder and Combat Mission logo.

Sorry, don’t have the NATO or the Brits logos from CMSF.

Part of the Modder’s Little Helper series

SPECIAL NOTE: I didn’t make these. They were created by BFC.
