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.

20 new CMFB splash screens plus 50 force specific backgrounds made from colorized WWII b&w pics.
I don´t claim any copyrights for this stuff since I found the pics from various sources via google search.

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.

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.

Two styles for your choosing; Stock & Vein Style. Thanks to Vein for creating incredible mods!

Big thanks to Pete Wenman for inspiring this mod way back when!

Part of the After Action Series.

SPECIAL NOTE: You really only need one version of this mod. The FB mod will work just fine in
CMFI or BS etc. I made one for each title because not every player owns all of the variations of CM, so
they might not find it searching CMMODS otherwise.

See the README for more info and instructions.

First, special thanks to Juju, Wolf, and Bil for all their original contributions from which I have drawn from to create this mod, and it’s concepts. This mod will work in ANY Cmx2 game with USA and Germany. If you are familiar with my other Icon mods this one works the same in using different colors for spotted and FOW icons, along with different colors for fortifications icons making set up much more visually organized. Each unit class has a unique geometric shape making it much easier to differentiate unit types while making icons smaller.

Newest Feature: New HQ icons.

HQ units stand out much better now using contrast for visual emphasis while having a more interesting look with a white star icon for USA, and the Balkenkreuz for Germany.

BONUS Arrow Bases mod included! (look in the building and you can see from afar which way they are facing)

Don’t forget to check out Vin’s Animated Text shown in the lower left and available at CMMODS.

Enjoy!

Tis Mod can be used for every CM game Module also the awaiting CMSF2 and more…¿¿futur will tell us ??

Listen tanks and vehicles burning and feel the hot, but with the time, the vehicles in flames noise, will decrease and be more quiet untill you will listen, a soft little flame burning the last page of the manual of “The good soldier in war”, and a crack of match, from a smoker of your squad.

You will have an overview from burning vehicles and a feeling of extrem hot and a sound disturbing your ears…don t be to close from vehicles burning!!

This Mod dont disturb any others sounds or visuals movements in game, the size of the file is only bigger…this is the only difference !

Recording about 10 min, details have always a good and a bad side:
this cost time is nice to your ears or your eyes but the
!!! File very big !!!

But Me love details…thus !

Because is a sound on loop, be aware about your sound level volume, when he starting reading again, the difference of sound is enorme!
remember …a feeling of extrem hot and a sound disturbing your ears…!!

I was trying to decrease also the pictures of flames, but by default of about 20 ímages/sec I will need approximatively 2000 pictures…thus…be happy with !!!

Procedure:

Deziped the rar file, to find a (.brz file) put in your Z folder of your CM, dont worry about your original one, he will not be altered cos the Z folder will take priority to be reading, but I dont think I have to tell you !!!

If you dont need it, simple…don t install it !

Hope this will be helpfull…!!!

Like always >>>>>

If you don’t like It, just put it out of your Z folder
(the taste is “delete” of your keyboard very easy).

I ask you to comments about these Mod !!

Enjoy,!!
