Ciais Realism Megapack Mod

Hi, this is "my" (Ciais) Realism Megapack Mod for Call of Duty 2. Why "my"? Because I DIDN'T do any of this, I only made a compilation of the best aspects of three wonderful mods: WCP CoD2 Reality, Lt.Speirs' Realism Mod and Camillo CoD2SP Realism Mod.





Installation procedure
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
!! Installing the official 1.3 patch is not required, but suggested !!

!! For all the installation procedures, download Part 1 of 2 of this mod !!

Extract Z_CiaisMod_2.iwd into the CiaisMod folder.



Performance tweaks
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Copy AutoExec.cfg in the CiaisMod folder.
Run CoD2 SP. If you haven't done it, set your graphical settings to your best.
On Game Options, enable the console. Go back to the main menu.
Bring down the console using ~, which is at top left, near 1. Type exec autoexec.cfg and press Enter. Bring the console up again.
Now go back to the graphics settings, and click on Texture Settings.
Make sure Texture Quality is at Manual, then switch Texture Resolution max on High, never on Extra (Normal is recommended for low-end machines).

That's it, you don't have to do this every time you run the game, except for when you change your graphical settings.
So, don't delete AutoExec.cfg, and you may read it and tweak it, if you want.

Well, I hope I didn't forget anything nor made confusion...

Hope you like it, that's my very first mod for CoD2 (I've got it from maybe less than a week...), and the very first mod for a FPS.
