Hello All
I am late to this game and modding.
This is a true revelation in game terms-------my congrats to the makers------------very inspiring!
I am a veteran Modder/gamer-----usually "Techy" tactical games----------------but my wife bought me this---and i am hooked!!
My congrats to all the modders----i have played them all----------ALL are superb----------Thankyou to you all for your time and expertise.
Truly loved Tims WW1 mod----------------But he is a great modder from Mad minute to WW1 CM-------------Magic stuff!!

Anyway what am i doing/done-----------------------well due to disability I can spend (and do) many hours at the computer--modding!!
I have reskinned all the Models in BA to be more "muted" dirty ect added badges and so forth----------------but all kept within the "parameters" of the games
"quirky" style------------which i love.

I have redone the "Bulge" campaign to incoperate New winter skins ect and snow effects on vehicles----eg Puma ect now whitewashed or white (all german vehicles) and winter uniforms (seperate mod from main BA)
Also now doing "battleaxe" early desert (a10.13s ect) v Italians---then leading to Afrika Korps-----------------------again seperate mod---lotsa reskining.
I would post screenies (Say more than words) if i can get my comp to take pics-----------------acting up--will solve then post!

Getting to grips with scripting ect---------------got skining/remodelling ok and csvs ect.
All going to plan,

No I am late to forum------------------now playing catchup
More soon

I love this game and it is always a pleasure to see new people increasing all job that was be done

[oldman19]

Thanks Pip and Random

Fixed screenies------using Imgur to upload-----------------get " post looks to spammy for new user" regardless of format
guess i have to make few posts first
No problem (unless im missing something)
Main campaign BA -------just reskins and viewing angle
Desert campaign------------reskins and incorp models
Bulge------winter makeover and some coding

Keep chopping and changing periods to keep me fresh but enjoying it

There are some limits to prevent spammers from posting links or images I think. Not sure what happens if you try and post a link to the images webpage?

Cheers

Pip

[oldman19]

Thanks for quick response Pip------------greatly appreciated.

Re screenies-------tried all formats and links------------same old message re spammers.

I can understand it and can wait----will try and figure something out.
I meantime i will press on
Thanks though!

Due to the amount of spam we had we new users posting links. Once you get to about 10 posts and have been registered for a couple of weeks the limit will drop off. Sorry for any inconvenience!

[oldman19]

Thanks for the heads up Iain
I understand and will be patient----------No inconvenience and thank you for your response.

I will try and describe what im doing/done so far
1st mod
Normandy redux
Massive repaint/tex on vehicles/infantry
eg german vehicles have foliage on them----dirt and mud---------------bric-a brac ect-------------some germans retexed-----eg waffen ss (foliage on helmet ect)
squad sizes changed --readouts changed------each scenario "Tinkered with"---------------------I tend to go for "visual" in my mods---------------this i have done----This is but a very brief precis-------------------new units like Mech inf---------also heavilly changed the brits------as i would naturally!

2nd mod
The Bulge redux---------------------All vehicles have been "winterized" new units added---------------------Looks right although i would like to resize some afvs---like king tiger (now white/snowy with decals)------still figuring

3rd mod
Desert redux
Used early Brit models ---retexed to sand (A10 ect) plus "Jock columns" based on book "cauldron of war"-----------------many changes and gamepaly------V Italians till Afrika Korps-------------------last few battles with them----------------also redone---------------------again the visual theme.

All above are seperate mods and dont interfere with Main BA.
Learning the scripting tools-----adding as i go
I dont model---sorta "Fix bits on here and there" then paint------------trying to get "Commanders" and Gunners on the vehicles ala Tim and his greyhound.

Ended up with a Pall bearer in front of a M5---------------walking at same speed!!-------Not Good------back to drawing board!!

also toying with a Arab/israeli 67 war scenario-----------------got the tools in BA-------------------it will work.

well thats a rough description----probs need a couple of "testplayers" later-------------------will upload a mod to wherever then Link will be in my PM-----------get some feedback ect before uploading to main site,

Anyway thank
regards

I m so in a hurry for all of that

[Old_Warrior]

The Gazala campaign would make a fine module for the game. Maybe something we could see in the future as a Slith product.

I love the desert situations too. Knightsbridge, Free French at Bir Hacheim (sp).

[oldman19]

Thanks Random 27 and Old warrior

Yes, I enjoy the modding in all the BA theatres (Did/done all of them) even the "hair pulling" over collar and patch work on those Tiny figs (hence why viewing angle is changed) BUT my partic love is the "Desert"-------hence why so many changes-----from Italian troop types to Free French in the desert--maybe South africans and Aussies----and the indians (Mucking about now with them)------------------------Lottsa new types like Pnz Gren and Mech Inf (seperate figs) ---Learning quickly the "modding" tools--------------and scripting.

Well this is the 10th post----------4 more days then i can post screenies of all the periods---------------------------I have mostly modded "Visual" so a Pnz II with a "Nazi" recog ariel signal on rear was "as is" and NOT meant to cause offence!

Thanks for interest
Kind regards
