Edit: Oops, meant Maus Man Mod of course:

Make sure the Zip program you use does not create a double folder (ie: first a folder called "MausMan 3D Terrain Graphics" after zip name, then another one with the content. If so, copy the inner folder to your Mods folder.

It should look like this:

Status: offline 		So getting back to more refinements to this mod. There were still some rough parts in the update in 1.02. I'm posting a replacement to include little fixes and attention to elevation changes for roads and rail. Did some work on the files used to display different conditions. Also more enhancements added to the ruined towns/cities in the terrain files.

Just deactivate the current MausMan mod (and probably delete it). Then download and unzip this new one your mods and activate.

MausMan Downloads


And for those who like vehicle profile counters as an alternate in the 3-D view, I also added an incomplete mod of how I view units in 3d. Most units for most stock scenarios in ME have been converted with this mod. Download at the same site. Its called '..3D Units MausMan Graphics.zip' -a work in progress for anyone interested.

Nice, thank you! I like what you did with unit Outline (BIT) files, showing the facing there

Here's my Libya'85 scenario, Sirte looking the busy port town it is

Status: offline 		ok, just posted over on the EF mod threads a link to download a northern Russia WWII version.
It should be good for all conditions and 3d zoom levels.

-Also included a folder with it of a couple extras. They're to include barren and brown trees in the terrain files,
along with some WF terrain versions for those EF scenarios when you're in Germany/Poland/Czechoslovakia/Hungary/Austria etc.
You'd need to manually rename the files and move them if you want to see them in the game. good luck.

Hello majgentop, a listing of current mods can be found at Mods and their Use ToC post.

MausMan's excellent 3D mod is for 1.02. I believe he's working on upgrading it, this might take a while for graphics structure saw some fundamental changes for 2.0. d I for one am certainly looking towards it being available to 2.0 as well.

I am not the modder. But speaking as the coder, retrofitting MausMan2's mod to West Front would be quite difficult, because the graphics files -- their content, layout, file names, etc. -- have been reorganized in so many different ways. (And so too the code.) Although we haven't touted it, in CSME and all games going forward, the graphics system has been drastically overhauled. Making back porting to JTCS very, very difficult.

Status: offline 		Ok the day is here to finally get this shared for the 2.x version. It can be downloaded from: 3D MausMan Map Mod 2.0
You should be able to unzip into you mod folder and then activate it in JSGME.

Like before, it's trying to get a look of a 250m area. Some of the terrain is subtle so you may want to flip over to the 2d map to verify what you're seeing at first. I'd suggest playing with a scratch map in both Mediterranean and Desert biomes to get a feel of the look.

Thanks to Crossroads for getting me going on this again and doing the night files. Enjoy.
