Status: offline 		CS:ME 1.01 Graphics Preview

Update: Now obsolete, as this is now stock content

Not a mod as a such, but rather a preview of things to come in CS:ME 1.01. More eyes on things the better, right!

  • Revised NATO icon sheet (2D Zoom-In and Normal Views only)
  • Revised Markers sheet with new Wreck Markers (2D Zoom-In and Normal Views only)
  • Lighter blue Israeli Counters (2D Zoom-In and Normal Views only, no NATO icons on Alt Counters yet)
  • Revised Terrain sheet (2D Zoom-In View only, toned done Hammada terrain)
  • Box Art Front End Menu
  • Toned down F2 Unit Handbook (a more subtle yellow font)

    Please deactivate these mods before activating this one:

  • This replaces the Box Art UI mod completely
  • This replaces the F2 Unit Handbook mod but not the Blankbox. If you want a blank Blankbox jug it in here as well (blankbox0.bmp)

    Download removed



    Download, unzip, place in the \mods folder, then activate with JSGME

    If you spot anything out of place please let me know!






    Attachment below is the screenshot, not the mod

    Status: offline     		That is a neat idea Brad62

    How markers work though is that they in essence are counters too. We just don't draw the counter anymore, just the content so they appear as part of the map. This is true be it a wreck marker, IP marker what not. So what this means there can be only one marker counter at one hex at one time. At least until when we figure out an easy way to have more.

    So while we have two wreck sets to indicate the density of wrecks (either one or two burning tanks), then we have the two individual sets of both, like the left and right facing single burning tanks, we at the moment can't draw a hex where there'd be one say "friendly" and one say "hostile" wreck marker at the same time.

    For this reason we don't have different wreck markers for different unit types atm either, say APC, AFV, truck, (helo), they could all have different wreck markers if we would draw them in a manner they'd somehow overlap each other nicely should they all be drawn to same hex.

    Status: offline     		Thank you Tombo, I am glad you liked them! This is actually a preview here, for there's the plan to release CS:ME 1.01 late November / early December depending on how we get a release slot. I thought it might be a good idea to have them available earlier, for any mistake's I've made get spotted before they are part of an official UPDATE.

    Status: offline     		How about a hotkey for removing the wrecks from the map. i'm thinking about the clutter in 3d, especially when you have units in the wreck hexes. Also wrecks increase concealment in a hex, don't they.

    Status: offline     		Yes, wrecks increase concealment, hinder movement as wreck SPs are counted towards that, also hinder LOS as unit density of 12 (or 12+ ie as of 13?) blocks the view through that hex.

    Your idea for removing the wreck counters might be better saved in the Wish List thread. All ideas not there get lost so easily into the discussion going in various threads...

    Status: offline     		When are you going to start selling the T-Shirts with the Wreck markers on them ? I'd like to pre-order 5 of them in X-Large, black shirt with white graphic please.

    Why the 'WR' in your mod when AH had no 'WR'. I ask because it seems kind of obvious, no need to specify with the 'WR'.

    The lettering is for the cases there's a unit counter sitting on top of the hex with the terrain marker for additional data, like IP (improved positions), PB (pillbox), BL (block), WR (wreck), and so forth. That way it is possible to see the terrain detail the unit is in.

    The Syrian counters on the left are pretty much everyone on Improved Positions, for instance

    When is delivery expected

    Here's the first product catalogue:

  • Plain T-shirt with a front printing
  • T-shirt with a breast pocket print
  • Cuff links
  • Cigarette lighters

    That'd do yes?

    What do you mean by "this mod"?

    The CSME 1.02 Open Beta Update is available here. We hope to release to the public a new version of that in a few weeks.

    If you buy the game and patch up to the latest level (now at the ME 1.02 Open Beta UPDATE; to go "official" next month, we hope), your in-game displays will look like the screenshot above. That is now the standard default 2D game appearance (if you select the right options in the Options menu).

    Glad you like the NATO symbols, I added a huge amount of them! There is a map so you can find out what each one is as well! There are now over 400 different ones!
