Our CC2-Afrika-Mod depends and uses graphics of the "Afrika"-Mod for CC3, which was created by François Simenel "Moloch" and his team. He gave Riccardo and me the permission to take parts of his mod to make a conversion to CC2. First development for CC2 was started by Riccardo in April 2001. Thanks a lot to you, Riccardo, for your Base-files. In May 2001 it was possible to present at CSO the first maps converted by me to CC2-format. In July 2002 the first 2 operations were ready, and we had reached first final stage of the Team-file definitions (v1.3b). Just at this time "the company" shut down all the free homepage.mac.com-sites (my original CC2-Revival site at http://homepage.mac.com/closecombat2/ too). I was forced to move from the old site to a new home.
Many thanks to François Simenel and his team for their great work for the CC3-community. Also a lot of thanks to Sulla for making the posting of the maps possible at CSO (www.closecombat.org, moved in 2008 to www.closecombatonline.com). We must thank also Cpl_Filth for making sprite-editing and soldier-color-editing possible, many thanks to Chris Ellens for his great CCedit for Mac (without it I would never be able to make the map-conversions and the other new maps), TinTin for his Texture Maker v1 & v2 and his tank tools ZFX.exe and NNT.exe and Escobar for his famous tools GadgetI, GadgetX, IntrfaceI and IntrfaceX. Last but not least thanks to Kyle Scott "Fish" for allowing me to use some gadget-graphics of his CC2-Kreta-Mod and Mick "xe5" Conmy for his advice.
We also have to thank Ken Scott for his investigations on how to expand the number of teams in CC2.
In fall 2003 Andrea Di Matteo gave us the permission to use some of the maps of his upcoming CC5-ElAlamein-project to convert these maps to CC2. Now his CC5-ElAlamein-Mod is published since March 2005, and we are able to do further map making in quicker time. Thanks to Andrea and his son Alfredo! In May 2005, Nembo (thanks to him) made a new SoldierColorPatch.exe for PC version. Finally, after creating a lot of tools to make CC map- and mod-making possible under MacOS-X, the last needed 12 maps were made by me in April 2006. Finally we have to thank also Mooxe of www.closecombatseries.net, who is hosting the mods's PC-version as an entire ZIP-package for download. We present...
Afrika-Mod for CC2 v2.1 (final)
The CC2-Afrika-Mod consists of 6 data-packages (data-definitions, graphics, vehicle graphics, mac-sound, pc-sound, soldier-color-patch) and 51 maps + 4 add-on maps (up to now).
NEW in Sept. 2006: debugged base files; Gadget0, Gadget1, Intrface.cc2 and UI updated, nearly all vehicle shadows repainted, new Italian gun implemented with its legs painted into the shadow file (first CC-mod ever using this technique). Former map ElAdemCC2 moved to slot 403.

Except for the sound-files, all data-packages and maps are identical for both the Mac- and the PC-version of the game!
| Base files for the Afrika-mod in regular CC2-style, implementing Italians, DAK, British, SAS, LRDG, US, FFL. Additional boot camp lessons. 11 operations ready. Campaign play is still a problem due to the fact that it is set up with correct historical dates.

Nembo's self-patching utility for PC-users changes the file "cc2rsrc.dll", too. And a short description suitable for CplFilth's tool SldColor.Exe is included. last revision: Apr. 27th, 2006 - v4 Size: 152 KB |
