Mod for SABOW

What is this mod?
http://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=12002.0
Is it able to import GTOS objects into SABOW?

It is a good try to accommodate "Steel blaze" to the setting of WWII!
The best trick is replacing default Africa' flora texture with a similar from Europe Thus, user has ability to pretend he is playing on the European theater
User must have both "Achtung" and "Steel blaze" installed. Though, such kind of disguise doesn't change the game content. It is still the strategy with elements of tanksim.
Well, it's not a big deal. There are many users who likes such gameplay, but there are still no missions, inspite devs declared of them presence. And of course, there are no scripts. It does user can't create his personal missions, he can always follow to AI instructions. As my point: no missions - no interest.
Though, I remember how devs promised: there would never-forever-whatever any missions in our games
So, I'm pretty sure the scripts appearing - it's a matter of time. Of course, if "Steel blaze" will become a commercial thing, but not the dev's toy.

Lockie, can you introduce how to install and use the mod? The readme is Cyril, I can not understand.

About missions, the latest update has been added to several single missions (Although they are all training mission). I think they should have a script.

YL, I didn't install this mod, coz I've old disk version, which I suppose doesn't suit to the new patches. I may only translate the "readme".

I was a little corrected it under "Steel Beat" works. Tested on versions 1983, 2570 and 2899 stimovsky.
If Andrew would not mind, I can lay here.

I want a mod to remove gear switch sound and turret movement sound (maybe another one with less noise) , not many mods for this game.

I think, it's possible. Anyway, all STA team efforts led to improve SF. What do u think: does it take an efforts to resolve this small issue via donation?
SABOW is a very difficult game for modding. I'd say, it is 5 times more difficult than SF.

I just found graviteam forum and sabow thread/topic with posts from different users, i search there some fixes, to bad is hard to mod this game, its a nice sim with modern tanks from 80' 90'

update:
till now i found some fixes for higer fps:
simple shader on
shader off (important)
shadow normal
grass high
sharper on
smoke decrease to high

In case "shader off (important)" the quality of the picture will be significantly reduced.
