Sweet mod....just installed it and it looks great! Thanks a bunch!!!!

Thank you guys! A new summer file is ready:

A screenshot taken from scenario "Troina":

And from "Carentan":

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).

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.).

Fall terrain:

Looks great! This is really giving new life to this game! Thanks!

And the winter terrain, swamp is missing from the original file [;)]

The link to download my mod v. 02 is http://www.gamefront.com/files/20202429 ... _mod02.zip
The zip file contains two folders JSGME ready, terrain files are the same but files in the folder JM_CCME_mod02 has original flags and those in the folder JM_CCME_mod02_swa has swastika, SS runes and Soviet Guards medal. To use the desert terrain with the Afrika Korps symbol (swastika under the palm) you must replace the file CC2TerrainDesertZoom1.bmp with the file DAK_CC2TerrainDesertZoom1.bmp deleting the first and renaming the second.

Very [8D] mod.

Hope to try it this weekend.
Thank you very much !!!

Can those also be installed with JSGME and are those different from the two previous ones? And why do you have Soviet icons where there are no Eastern Front battles in the game?

"JSGME ready" means exactly this. [;)]

and are those different from the two previous ones?

This is the new, improved, version.

And why do you have Soviet icons where there are no Eastern Front battles in the game?

EF
The game includes two scenarios on the East Front, Moscow and Stalingrad, and you could design dozens of other EF scenarios.
