How to create a mod?

[ratmilk]

Can someone teach me or send me a link to how to create a mod on GTC. Thanks for the atention.

It is an involved topic, and depends a great deal on what part of the game you want to mod.

I would recommend checking out the Close Combat forums at Matrix Games. There are forums on modding the various versions of Close Combat and experienced modders who post there frequently.

I want to create new models for new veichles is that possible?

[Smack]

Yes. The vehicle images in Gateway to Caen are 2D sprites stored in a file named tanks.azp. To unpack and repack it you'll need a utility program called "CCMunger" that can be found here:

I've downloaded the CCMunger, when I open the tanks.azp just appears a bunch of names of tanks but I can't do nothing with it, can u teach me how? or just give me some tips.

You will need to make or get images for the tanks you want to add to this file. They need to be 32 bit TGA (uncompressed) images. Then you'll need to modify the various data files to rebuild. Look at the existing files (created when you unpack) to get an idea of the format. I think the best place to ask questions is the Modding forums on the www.matrixgames.com website.

Good day all, I am also interested in the topic of creating mods for Close Combat, along with the creation of new equipment, I need to create a unique main campaign.

The modding guides for this game are quite scattered and mainly describe the creation of individual maps, techniques, but not campaigns.

To briefly describe my task, then, I need to create a campaign on 50 maps, which would have destroyed bridges, as well as two different types of paths to move between maps - for vehicles and infantry, and only for infantry exclusively.

If anyone knows anything about creating a campaign modification for Close Combat, please respond...

By now Antiquepunk has found his way to the Close Combat Discord channel: https://discord.gg/QSyHPKpZ . Anyone interested in the game and its mods should check it out.
