Modern Campaigns - MapMod revisited

[Simulacra53]

Simulacra53,

Thank you! It looks and works great. And I'm happy you added the 50% files.

How did you change the colour in the map files? I tried it ones, and the result was that the game would not load it. Do you know a tutorial on the subject?

To Jison: thank you for creating these awesome mods! Much appreciated.

Glad it is working.

The technical part is not that hard if you have decent graphics program (using Photoshop, basically overkill). Maybe I can write up some simple tutorial.

I'd be happy to create single ZIP for a complete install on top of the Volcano Mod, but only if Jison does not mind.

ZIP away - I dont mind one bit! 

Jison

Thanks Jison, I’ll create some unified ZIP files for the MC games and make them available for download.

Uploaded unified ZIP files that contain a complete MOD to be installed over the Volcano Mods.

Looks good but personally I can't stand the imprinted hex outlines in the 100% view. Any chance to release a version without them?
That was my only gripe the VolcanoMans map mods.

I'm looking for something linke Philipes MODs for the FWWC games:

Hi Wiggum, glad you find these files of use.
I claim no originality, it is all mix and match from Jison’s various mods.
The limited “original” work was filling in some minor gaps.

Yeah, I understand what you mean.
It would not be complicated, but as I personally prefer the grid pattern.

In the end it is always a matter of taste.

To be honest I actually prefer Jison’s earlier terrain files, which have a more random pattern, but opted to use the later diagonal type to correspond with the Gold standard mods.

Mixed an alternative ME67 revisited Jison MapMod based on his excellent new Tunisia Gold MapMod.

Original - green style


Alternative - desert style

Regards these as place holders until Jison updates his MC MapMods.

Excellent work, thanks for sharing it. Fulda Gap 85' now looks a lot prettier for me.

Ok Although I am not a fan of the Hex-less look, if there is enough interest I can do a version without.

On Fulda Gap, from left to right, no hex terrain, in game hex on, Jison Mapmod type terrain in game hex off.
I prefer the original Jison look.

But with enough traction it would be worth the time.
