What version of Close Combat are you trying to mod.

CCMunger works well with Gateway To Caen and Panthers in the Fog. For the other versions it does not extract the tank files correctly.

use Mafi's RtB tool for extracting tanks from CC2, CC3, CC4, CC5, CoI, TLD, WaR, LSA.

Hi,

closecombat.org was THE Close Combat site back in the day. Lots of info was there, all the mods, tools, guides etc but then one day it was gone.

Have you tried using the internet wayback machine aka the internet archive?

archive.org

Downloads and forums (dynamic pages) are most certainly not going to work, however, but you can read the static page contents.

Search for localizations of games in mod database site.

Call of Duty games have lots of different nationalities.

Combat Mission too and their voice cues are most similar to what you can use in Close Combat. There's a developer tool that's available in one of their game demos to extract their sounds including voices.

PZLeader was like a legend and celebrity to me, I was about 11-12 when I found the CC2 demo but it took me a few more years to learn about the community and although I only had the demo for years I used to go to THouse and read the AAr's and of course the ones from PZLeader always stand out. it appears he was a good guy very loved by everyone around him and that's always nice. 55 is too young to go, we never know when is our last time so let's be happy and grateful for what we have everyday.

Very good info,

should be pinned or something if we don't want to loose all of this valuable (it took time and effort to Jatke) and detailed instruction on how to edit the save game. also very useful for a future programmer player that decides to make an updated CCReq that can function with the newer games.

for CC5 there's CCReq. You can create custom forcepools with it on multi map, multi day OPs, change timer, change names of soldiers. I don't think you can edit medals with it though.

Very interesting.

basically CCreq but manually editing the save game file? how could I do this? where is this SaveGameEditor utility?

IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD! do a giant map and we can play on it 5v5 multiplayer! will you share the procedure? Wink

What about maps for WW2 though? roofs are too modern, would need to erase cars and the streets look different too.

I believe in you vobbnobb, it seems a special condition indeed. How long was from the capture of the command team to the appearance of the message by the captured enemy command team? very curious behavior.

found this by chance.

That sounds great Aetius!
Thanks for all the efforts.

found this nice blog post about vehicle creation for a hex based game, and even what seems a camouflage plug in for photoshop. Surely it can make painting vehicles much less tedious.

there's a submod for VetBoB that adds british voices

now try the Soviet side! it's very tough against the A.I., at least against the German Kampfgruppen that have Panthers.

Still enjoying the mod, I had a great session a couple days ago vs the AI took lots of screenshots and posted them on steam if you want to check it out. In one battle two T-34/85 vs 1 Panther wasted all their AP ammo on it! Panther was with dark-green LOS as it was between a couple of trees, I think it couldn't aim to one T-34. Both soviet tanks survived although one was damaged. I couldn't take Siedlce with 11TK and now most of my tanks are gone after the third turn as told by Aetius.

I have one doubt regarding this 'relief' of the 11 Tank Korps: the BG's columns stay the same it seems (1st column infantry, 2nd column vehicles, 3rd column support) and I can choose vehicles in either Vehicle column or Support but now with more infantry only some teams I can choose in the Vehicle column not all of them! is this intended? why should some infantry be able to deploy in the vehicle column (the middle one) but not others?

ideally I would want the battlegroup to change from armored to infantry BG with two infantry columns and one support so I can fill it with infantry and choose the SP arty guns in support. Is this possible? or at least make ALL infantry able to be put in vehicle column why just some of the newly arrived full (9 soldiers) squads can be chosen there?. Because with this relief I get more infantry in the forcepool I want to be able make most of their use!

Thanks for the mod, let's hope Stalingrad is completed soon too so more Eastern front mods are available for LSA.

Thanks Aetius!

Just had my first battle vs AI as the soviets and I lost! those Panthers man are really tough! I like it.

When are the initial soviet breakthrough BG's going to be relieved? or is it a surprise? how should I take this into my planning? for example advance as further as I can with them or consolidate the starting maps with these BG's and advance with the arriving BG's?

Thanks again!

Best attempt so far Embarassed

Still left with some white artifacts. At least they don't look flat as the first ones. Need some tweaking here and there.

I think the real secret to maintain detail is to convert the images you get from top down 3D models to SVG vectorized files, use Inkscape to do this to the png image taken in full size then reduce to required size, convert to TGA (with GIMP or photoshop) and test in game.

If you look at the tank files from CC3 you will see they have so much detail even at small sizes. Also some are like flipped sideways, for example the Tiger has the bow MG on the opposite side. Very weird, if you change it back the tilt effect and shadow effect on the image is different so I don't know if it was a bug or a decision to leave it as that (and why?) but nobody complained back then or at least I don't remember.
