Beginner's Questions

Since searching the Forum did not bring up any results and googling did not help at all, I'll just start a new topic and hope to get some answers ...

I started looking into modding CC:TLD today. I've got some experience in modding other games but I can't befriend myself with this one here [:@]
Are there any tutorials anywhere? I found a bunch of tools and I think I'll be able to use them, but I can't find out where soldier models are or how to open the "soldier" or "soldierB" files in the "GRAPHICS" folder, where I suspect them to be. In fact, I don't even know what types of file they're supposed to be, since conveniently (!) they've got no endings .___.
Well that's the most important thing I'd like to know for now, what kinds of files/archives are those?! [&:]

I don't think so, unfortunately.

If you seek to alter the size of the pixel soldiers, there is a mod here: http://closecombat.matrixgames.com/Long ... Dmods.html under "Small soldiers mods for The Longest Day".

... or is its the colour of the uniforms you seek to mod?

Welcome to the strange world of modding a very old game with a file structure which has "evolved".

Did you find Mafi's tools http://home.claranet.de/ftf/ ?

You'll see the reference to the Soldier and Soldier B files under "CC2Spriter". I am away from home my own notes and archives at the moment, and I cannot remember whether this tool can be applied to tLD.

I'm sorry that you've had to wait so long for a response.

I want to change the soldier models allover actually and maybe the weaponmodels as well.
I havent been working on CC since i posted this, but ill look into those tools and maybe do sth. I think i tested every single tool there is at some point, so i suppose i tested this one before. But im not sure so ill just download it. Anyway, thanks for the reply
