waffelmann reacted to boygarvin in pitbull's Italian Mods
The normal Italian models in-game make it unfortunately impossible to properly represent the desert uniform worn by the Italians in both Africa (where the uniform was worn by most troops) and Sicily (where it was still worn by some). This is because the cut of the uniform differs majorly from the desert uniform.
To compare, here is the desert uniform's tunic, the 'camiciotto sahariana':
The sahariana had several differing cuts, and this is just one of them, but they all had this general appearance. Now, here is the continental uniform:
As you can see, the tunics are obviously fairly different from each other, especially in regards to their collars.
Whilst reskinning the normal Italian models (essentially doing little more than making them HD and tan) was an option, it was not a good one, as it did not properly represent the actual uniforms worn by the Italians, especially in Africa. And whilst the normal Italian models do fit quite well for Sicily, where many wore just the continental uniform, as depots with clothes once-bound to troops in Africa were opened up to supply troops in Sicily, many also were able to get their hands on and wear the desert uniform. This, alongside the lucky few troops repatriated from Africa just before it fell, who were still wearing what they wore in Africa. And whilst there did exist an older desert uniform that was basically just a tan version of the continental uniform, it had been effectively phased out by the outbreak of war for Italy in 1940, and was predominantly used in East Africa.
As a result, we decided to use German models. This would allow us to both represent the desert uniform AND the continental uniform properly (with the continental uniform being worn over the 'sahariana' or a denim fatigue shirt, as was commonly done), whilst also making for easier-working with the textures, since I was pretty familiar with them. It also allowed, pretty conveniently for me, the textures for both to be readily applied to the other Italian mods, namely the RSI ENR mod- which also uses a German model.
Hope this clears that up!

waffelmann got a reaction from George MC in German WSS panzer grenadiers - how do I mod to remove the kit on their Y harness please?
Ok, I tried it and I think there are not noticable shadows. Can you make it for yourself or do you have a upload taget? Or I can try to offer a dropbox-link.

I made it less comlicated.
I took the syrian chin-strap-mdr-file from CMSF2 and swapped it with every poncho-, breadbag etc- mdrs.
Additional there is one masking texture for the chinstrap (I took it from the gebirgsjäger cap).
Et voilà!

Yep it's the time. Check out the compass rose when in a scenario - it contains a 24hr clock.

After patch 211:
- the left ammo-pouch of the sturmgewehr-troopers are still not visible
- I believe that the Schwimmwagen should only have 4 occupants. The fifth person sits very uncomfortably in any case.
