Buyed and modded! Just a test of "moddability", I could release a mod in the next future.

That makes the game about a 1000 times more attractive.

Thanks guys, I replaced CCME NATO symbols with those from my TOAW mod, a bit more clear, SS when possible.

I know, I know, unfortunately PC Ostfront doesn't run on Linux and I must work on seven to test my models...

I don't know when a full mod will be available because I am working mainly on Ostfront models but I can attach here some files (in two zip files), I worked only on zoom 1. NATO symbols are new, desert graphics are almost completed, other environments graphics are usable but they lacks tile and transition effects.

Thanks JMass,

I DL, so will this work if I unzip into what directory? I'm a real noob when it comes to this stuff, and apologize upfront for being one.

You should unzip it in the main game directory, my files are in a directory named SupportFiles as the game directory so you must integrate them.

sabre1 or anyone else, would you like to use a mod swapper program with these?

I can set these up to be used with JSGME.

Thanks JMass, downloaded almost on the strength of the mod alone.

Very nice Jmass! That makes me wonder why the developers couldn't do it? It appears to have taken just a few days for you to improve the game, why couldn't they do it and make the game look a little newer? After all, they want new game prices.
Anyhow, thanks Jmass.

OK, I am a rookie with mods - how do you install them? Just dump the files in a folder? Does it overwrite the existing files?

You could extract the folder in the zip and then copy the files to overwrite the originals. But then you are stuck with them.

Better is to read the thread on using JSGME mod swapper.

Edit BTW the originals are in the Support Files folder

I don't understand why JMass doesn't actually work for Matrix. I remember the "old" demo for Combat Command and I thought Matrix had actually made it uglier, sorry to whoever did the art. This makes it look MUCH better.

I had never used JSGME or any mod enable, but I downloaded it and the mods and installed the whole thing in about 5 minutes. I turned the mod on and off just to see and it is easy as pie.

I was surprised to see some terrain differences in the Faid Pass scenario: the mod has some terrain that the original does not have. For example, there is a salt marsh in the NW part, just W of the intersection, and there are some N-S Wadis (unpassable I suppose) in the Western part of the map. These are not on the original map. I am not complaining mind you, just wondering...

I agree that the terrain looks a lot better than in the original game. Too bad it doesn't support zooms (yet). I hope you will make a whole terrain set (I would pay $5 for it - the terrain reminds me of Squad Leader).

Henri

Edit:Strange, when I went back and removed the mod, now this new terrain is there in the original mod when I start the game. Must have been a glitch in my graphics, but I had even right-clicked over the salt marsh area and it was indicated as "clear". I will check it out on my home computer tonight, before I install the mod.

Edit2: OK I loaded a saved game of this scenario (the mod doesn't change saved games terrain), and the new terrain (salt marshes and Wadis) is definitely NOT there in the saved game, so I didn't dream it.

Edit 3: I just checked it on my hoe computer with Win7 and the salt marshes and Wadis ARE present in the unmodded game. So it seems like a problem related to XP or some instability.

Jungle terrain, I am almost ready to upload the zoom level 1, it will be available in two versions, the first with original flags and the second with swastika, SS runes, Afrika Korps symbol (swastika under the palm) and Soviet Guards medal. I am correcting some small issues, i.e. the jungle terrain file is missing of four symbols (amphibious and airborne operations etc.).
