David Ingletts CM Normandy Mod

Update 2005-08-28: new skies over Normandy.

This mod contains a number of bitmap graphics that alter the games appearance to mimic the Normandy area. Please follow the instructions carefully.

• CM Normandy.
• CM ETO Uniforms Mod (identical to CMAK European Theater Mod Uniforms.

Instructions for installing CM Normandy:

1. Reinstall your CMAK game. When prompted for what directory to put your game in change "Battlefront" to "BattlefrontNormandy" and "Combat Mission Afrika Korps" to CMNormandy. You will be prompted again for a destination change "CMAK" to "CMNormandy". Let the game install. You now have another copy of CMAK on your computer called CMNormandy.
2. If you have heavily modded your CMAK game to include tanks/vehicles/uniforms, etc. You will now want to transfer your modded BMPs to CMNormandy. Go to your CMAK or CMETO BMP file and "Copy" the files you want (you could copy all the BMPs if you want) then go to your CMNormandy BMP file and paste them in.
3. Go to the CMNormandy "Scenarios" folder and delete all the scenarios (they are all North Africa and Italy scenarios). Transfer all your June through August scenarios that you have collected in CMAK or CMETO into the CMNormandy Scenarios File. Go to CMMODs and Proving Grounds to get more.
4. Visit the CM Normandy homepage.
5. Download the CMNormandy ftp file to your downloads folder. Extract the zipped file directly into your CMNormandy folder and answer "Yes to all". Note: The extracted zip will overwrite some existing bitmaps in the BMP folder.
6. On the same URL you will find ETO German Uniforms and ETO Allied Uniforms files. If you need 1944 uniforms, this is where to get them. Follow the instructions given in "5" above.

You are now done and have, in effect, a new game to play (sorry still no Tiger II's or Cromwells).

Until such time as a real artist takes on this project you are stuck with with my clumsy cut and paste technique. The concept for this Ubermod was from some of the feedback I got from CMETO comments. I play the June through August scenarios on CMNormandy and September through the duration on CMETO.
