Forums - SB 401 Mini Mod Package for 2D

I have made some mini mods for use in the SB 401 updated games.
I have tested so far in Red Victory and also in SBWW2 vol 2.
They are a work in progress.
You can certainly play the game with what I have made so far.
My mini mods basically only change the 2D game views.
No 3D stuff is included.

Few different elements included.
You need to enable them with JSGME,

One element is just for SBWW2 ,only tested so far with Vol 2.
(SEAN men mod)
I made the top down infantry ,now side view infantry.
I have done some ,not all ,of the Countries.
You can play a with what I have done.

Another element is for SBWW2 or for Red Victory.
(SEAN SQUARE afvBIG mod V2)
I have made the AFV and TOWED GUN units have square bases ,rather than hexes.
There is some unused folders when you play Red Victory ,corresponding to some new Countries (required for SBWW2) ,but I dont think this matters when playing Red Victory -still seems to work for both games.

The other elements included work for both games.

I have made a LEADER STAR MOD.
(SEAN LEADER STAR MOD)
This is a derivative of Bigus' Disordered Unit Pic file.
I moved his disordered pics slightly.
I also ,and most importantly ,added a nice yellow LEADER STAR to signify leaders.
This is only for the 200 size view (most zoomed in).

I have made a Terrain Mod.
2 versions ,only use 1 of the 2.
(SEANs own TERRAIN MOD)
(SEANs own TERRAIN MOD with VISION)
Basically I made Villages only have 2 Buildings ,so that there is a clear difference in look between Villages/Towns/Citys.
One version I have made the Line of Sight view slightly LIGHTER in EFFECT-
this I really like,
I called this version "with vision",
makes using the Line of Sight tool where hexes are shaded much nicer to look at.

I made some ALTERNATE counters for Germans and also German SS.
(SEAN feldgrau GERMAN)
(SEAN SS MOD)
(SEAN SS MOD CLEAR)
I really like the FELDGRAU GERMAN base ,looks cool I think.
I am SO SO about the SS Base ,but included.
Note the SS mod has some German banned icons ,so dont use this element if you may not like that sort of historical icon.
Enable the SEAN SQUARE afvBIG mod V2 first ,then the SEAN feldgrau GERMAN and 1 of either SEAN SS MOD CLEAR or SEAN SS MOD.
Dont use both SS Mods at once ,since they are variants of each other.
You dont have to use the ALTERNATE COUNTERS at all by the way.

That is it.
There is 8 elements total.

You can use with Red Victory ,probaly AOTR-remiss of me not to check since I own it.
Maybe work with Winter War ,I dont own that game.
It works well with SBWW2 vol 2 mod ,
I really made all this stuff for that mod.
Again remisss of me not to check ,but it should work on SBWW2 vol 1 as well.

I will add some new stuff to the Mini Mods.

I want to play a bit more with what I have made first,

to know where I can add some new changes.

I think these mini mods change the game view a lot.

So much in fact that I am going to revisit some Red Victory scenarios just to check out the difference.

I made the main element of the SIDE VIEW INFANTRY to enjoy the SBWW2 mod made by Warhorse ,

he has done a fabulous job and I wanted my own take on his Mod.

The second main element i have made is the SQUARE AFV BASES.

Again i really did this for the SBWW2 mod.

You can probably tell I like that mod.

My stuff does work on the vanilla game too ,by the way.
Vanilla RED VICTORY I have tested.

New updates.

They all work for RV.
Any that dont include RV name also work for SBww2 as well.

The file
(SEAN RV sbww2 for RV vehicles)
is obviously only for RV ,BUT
is at an early stage -
I will do more.
This just includes a handful of vehicle replacements.

(SEAN ASL MOD)
this works for RV and SBww2
It is an edit of Bigus' 2d/3d mod.
You can use my little bit alone OR
use Bigus' 2d/3d mod first and mine 2nd in JSGME.
