 By fng2k and Helmut "Steel" Fritz This small switchboard application dramatically expands your range of experiences in Gunship!. Now you can fly many new aircraft over vivid new terrain, use new sound files, and be ready for new Gunship! mods now under development. |
|
This version uses Adobe Acrobat forms for the user interface, and will run on any operating system that Gunship can run on. Note: You will need the normal Adobe Acrobat Reader
software (ver 4 or above) to use Mod M8.

Special thanks to European Air Wars mod-gods Geo, Ghostboy and SagginB for graciously sharing some of their customized EAW objects with us rotor-heads. Sniff around any airport and you'll find some interesting things. And thanks again to Paulo Morais for his 3DZ rescaler and other utilities which makes such cross-pollination possible. Jim Trapp contributed yet another great desert city design, and converted the new authentic rotor sounds for each helo. His cool CP/G speech enhancement mod is in here, too, along with Russ Manning's new Hellfire launch .wav that will make you jump.
We'd like to express our enormous respect and grateful appreciation to the MicroProse development team, (especially ShadowFax), Paulo Morais, Pretzel, Alessandro Borges, FrankD, Rudi, John Sponauer, Larry Hookins, Jim Trapp, DCS, Tom Ressler, and all the other amazing mod-men of M1 Tank Platoon 2, European Air Wars and Gunship!, without whom none of this would have been possible. S!
It is our hope that through these mods, others will get a sense of the enormous untapped potential in Gunship, and create even more new mods and add-ons which can use the same standardized structure. So if, for example, someone wanted to repaint the Eurocopter Tiger in Australian or French colors, they could then use the included textures and mod template files to create a package which could be easily distributed, installed and used through Mod M8.
Here are some screen captures:

PLEASE read these instructions first....
Step 1
This version of Mod M8 can be used with Gunship installed anywhere on your hard drive. However if you have an earlier version of Mod M8 already, we recommend that you uninstall any older versions of Mod M8 you have, or if you want, you can make a new installation of Gunship in a new location.
Step 2
Download the installation file from the link below, and save it into your ..\Gunship! folder, right next to your Gunship.exe file.
Double click the installation file GSModM8v3.exe to install Mod M8 v3.0.
If you want, you can make a new shortcut on your desktop pointing to ..\Gunship!\ModM8.pdf
Step 3
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT HOST multiplayer missions while Mod M8 is in use unless all other players in the session have Mod M8, too. To play multiplayer with those few poor misguided souls who don't have Mod M8 installed yet ;-); hit the "Reset all to original" button on the Mod M8 main screen before launch. This will reset everything to it's original default configuration.
Note: Mod M8 is NOT for use with the Gunship: Times of Sand expansion pack
If you have questions, email me or post in the SimHQ Helosim Forum.
Have a great time!
