Blackadder 33 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I can live with the standard Tiger paint schemes... but I would much prefer to be able to choose a darker panzer grey colour for my PzKpfw VI Tiger I's. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartari Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I don't think. By the way, there 's a "desert" skin in the Encyclopedia, I can't find it with the Mission Editor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extract with Dr.Jones tool and open the folder data/units/tanks/ger/pz_vie_(tiger_i)/parts.ini and add skin nr.6 [VehicleSkin_GerSummer6] Type VehicleSkin Name GerSummer6 Skin Summer6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoppelhopser Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 It's not a desert camouflage but the standard dunkelgelb which started to be the basic colour from February 1943 onwards. As the Tiger also has Zimmerit anti magnetic paste applied it's from second half of 1943 although I'm not sure if the Feifel air filter system was still around at that time. Too tired to look it up.

Tartari Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Thanks, Rofl! Stoppelhopser, thank you, but it looks lighter than Dunkelgelb, more like Sandgelb RAL 8020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Grey Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Some people think there is evidence there were, in fact, FOUR different shades of Dunklegelb - the last one being something very close to ocher or sand. A veteran tanker I have spoken to indeed told me his Panther had a dark base color... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder 33 Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 Thanks, so unless anyone had definite plans to make the panzer grey Tiger I skin... looks like it's up to me then? The idea of me doing it makes me smile. As a child I wasn't into making models (Airfix/Tamiya) very much.. however the one that I was quite proud of was a Tiger I scene at a crossroads near Bastogne with tankers standing around and plenty of airbrushed weathering on the metal. It looked quite good in a darker than usual grey because I had run out of the proper Panzer grey paint. It had a sort of "elite SS panzer division" look about it, even though it wasn't necessarily 100% historically accurate. Actually now I think about it, I remember I had based the paint scheme on those three nicely converted T-34's used in the film Kelly's Heroes Well I have a lot going on right now so I'm not sure how long it's going to take to start doing it, but I'll be happy to upload it eventually if anyone's interested Cheers.

Earl Grey Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 As long as at least some mods are coming up... I still have my hands full with CM and a special 1945 project. But if I can be of help, just tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackadder 33 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Originally posted by Earl Grey: if I can be of help, just tell me. Very kind of you to offer, Earl, thanks. Looks like we might have some nice greys by rofl for now though? Q. Apologies if this has been asked before, but did anyone create a way of incorporating a unit insignia graphic onto the tank turret skins, specifically the rear of the Tiger I turret? I'm thinking that if we had various unit insignia such as the 1st SS Division Leibstandarte "Key" to choose from on the backs of our turrets, it really couldn't get any better than this!

THANKS for reposting! It works PERFECTLY! Well... almost. Your skins.ini needed a minor editing tweak to reflect the fact you called it "Summer8" (you left it as "Summer7" - have a look at line 225 under [skin_Summer8] and it's simply a matter of editing the filenames from 7 to 8. No biggie... maybe you might want to alter it for the sake of completeness but hey it works so no need really). Thanks again EDIT: I meant to say lines 229 through 255 need editing... for example the first one "Material0 mat_dop1_alpha 3dobj\tanks\ger\pz_vie_(tiger_i)\summer7\mat_dop1_alpha.mat" needs changing to "Material0 mat_dop1_alpha 3dobj\tanks\ger\pz_vie_(tiger_i)\summer8\mat_dop1_alpha.mat" Oh wait... I almost forgot... just one more Columbo (thing!)... do you still have the additional texture file for the red numbers? I like the look w/ the standard white division insignia... but I think I like your red numbers better. Pretty please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
