Port of MapMod for JTCS? (2d graphics) - 9/17/2010 11:27:10 PM

Status: offline 		I wonder, why there is no MapMod port to JTCS? You know MapMod certainly - http://mapmod.hist-sdc.com/
It is a graphics modification for panzer campaigns, which have very similar graphics structure to JCTS. I tried to change JTCS terrain graphics to MapMod, and it is quite simple, just takes some time (but the effect looks great!). The biggest problem is with nato-tiles, they have other structure than in panzer campaigns, so it demands some work - but the nato-tiles in JCTS are really horrible, and overall graphics, compared to MapMod, is - forgive me - ****ty.

It would certainly throw some (that a small word for such a great graphics) life in this old game.

Yes, it is rather easy to modify the graphics in the Campaigns Series. One just needs the time.

Good luck!!

Pity I had to resize this three times to 200kb it's lost it's sharpness.

Just to point out that IMO the JTCS offers a better level of colours over the various hex contour levels.

One reason I do not play either PzC or SB.

I hope Jason sticks to classic CS with just pinches of improvement.

Squire use whatever graphics you wish.

I used to play this game years ago, had a lotta fun, then moved up a level to HPSSIMS Panzer Campaigns, again a lotta fun PBEM campaign games, lot's of really good opponents from around the world.
Did buy JTCS from Matrix to show my appreciation but was also into PBEM/WitP.
But since WitP/AE was released I just dabble with graphics between turns, however when WitE comes out hopefully this year my gaming card will be full.

I just expressed my opinion.
Thanks for letting me have it.

I just do not think that those graphics fit CS. But, I am viewing it from the experience of years of playing, being comfortable with it, and not liking major changes that effect the game or how it looks.

Maybe Mr. Tiller will produce the game using his graphics that you can find visually appealing, when his new platoon combat games are produced?
I just hope that Matrix will not jump on the suggestion to change the graphics/look of the game.

I still hope someone will tackle the 3D terrain graphics someday.

There are a lot of similarities in concept between Panzer campaigns and Campaign Series. A lot.

And On the small 2d level the game is visually the same.
Mapmod is a favourite in graphics mods for PzC and if fits perfectly in the small CS 2d map.

I am with you RR. JTCS has the best graphics for a serious war game (NATO counters and 3D units)in addition to Battle Generator and Map/Scenario editor. I know the team are moving in the right direction forward. Just look at the improved graphics at the CS Middle East! I know the upcoming release CS Vietnam later this year is going to look and play even better. It is my NO 1 game on my list to play this year.

Status: offline 		Mr. athineos, That makes one of you. I do not like the look, or play, of ME. I thought the scenarios were a mess of unbalanced rushed junk to make the game have some scenarios when it came out. Owned it for a minute and then mailed it off to the first person who wanted a copy for free. I did not even charge for shipping. I was just glad to be rid of it.
My confidence in the team waned at that point and dropped further as I learned of how they are going to cut up and release the "new" Campaign Series.
At that point it will no longer be the Campaign Series. Nor should it ever be referred to as the Campaign Series.

Happy New Year.

RR
