The mdr file doesn't seem to point to specific skins anymore. They are all replaced by 'placeholder'. This means you can't hex mod the helmets etc in.
E.g. in v1 I modded all my CW para to have camo faces (separate from the inf) by hex modding the mdr files. This isn't possible now.
-
As far as I could tell adding the [nation] suffix to the helmets didn't seem to work (but it does with boots). All helmets default to the British helmets (I had made Polish helmets but they wouldn't show up).
I don't think just adding whatever you like in the [*] works. I assume the scenario would need to specifically reference which uniform to use. But I am just guessing. I have no idea.

Wow 5 hours later and no sign of them on CM Mods Warehouse. Is the upload still OK?
I left it uploading when I went out this morning and it conked out.
It's there now.

British:
Infantry
Tropical
Airborne
Tropical shorts
Canadian:
Infantry
Tropical
Airborne
Tropical shorts
Polish:
Infantry
Tropical
Airborne
Tropical shorts
New Zealand
Infantry
Tropical
Tropical shorts
Not: Not sure if all of these are used at the moment in Gustav Line, e.g. Kiwi shorts and Polish airborne. Vanilla files were there for these guys though so I thought better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them.
Readme in zip.
Obligatory cack image:
437mb... oof!
Should be up at Greenasjade.net imminently.

437mb to be precise.
My CW-GL mod for F-Italy is uploading at greenasjade.com as I type.
See the relevant thread in the FI forum for more info.

Not really. You could replace some of the files but it would be a mish mashy mess.
Luckily for you though I will be releasing a GL version soon containing:
British Inf/Tropical/Para/Tropical shorts
Canadian Inf/Tropical/Para/Tropical shorts
Polish Inf/Tropical/Para/Tropical shorts
New Zealand Inf/Tropical/Tropical shorts
Nearly done, just trying to check them all out. May be released tomorrow.
It's around 400mb. Ouch.

I have uploaded my CMBN CW troops over at greenasjade.
It's a hefty 207mb zip file containing:
British inf/para/skins
Canadian inf/para/skins
Polish inf/para/skins
CW gear
CW helmets mix / CW helmets all scrim.
Here's a pretty crap picture of some of them (too much vino tinto to be bothered to take better pics
):

This chap's texture seems to have gone a bit wonky.
Waffen SS / Regimental Pioneer [Motorized] / Company HQ

What it seems to do is:
if you have 7 British skins but only 4 Canadian skins, British skins 5, 6, and 7 appear alongside the 4 Canadian (or Polish) skins on Canadian/Polish soldiers.
As long as there are say 7 skins each all is hunky dorey.
-
Many thanks Alex!
Making sure that each CW nation has the same amount of skins each has sorted it.
ETA for Canada and Britain for CMBN and CMFI is end of the month.
-
For the CMBN version:
British Inf and Airborne done
Canadian Inf and Airborne done
For CMFI version:
British Inf and Airborne done
British Tropical Inf done
British Tropical shorts done
British Greatcoats done
Canadian Inf and Airborne done
Canadian Tropical Inf done
Canadian Tropical Shorts done
HOWEVER... there seems to be a bug when using multiple skins for the British Infantry for both CMBN and CMFI: British troops show up mixed in with the Canadians and Polish. This is likely down to the fact that the British uniforms don't have a suffix on the bmp names, unlike the [Canadians] and [Polish] bmps as you don't get the same problem when using multiple Canadian or Polish skins.
I'm hoping a next patch may sort it out in which case I'll release the two complete mods. If not I MAY release just the Canadians and (when done) the Polish seperately.

There's already a redhead in there somewhere. It's quite noticeable when his helmet comes off.

I have a 7850 2gb card (I believe). The in-game settings are full everything except models which are 'improved' as I really can't tell what 'better' and 'best' improve.
I am also running CMBN version 2 which adds some nice lighting. If anyone hasn't got it it's worth every penny to upgrade.
These skins will work with version 1 but as much of the folds are created on the normal map the skins will appear a lot flatter than in these shots.
They are the Duke of Cornwall Light Infantry (thanks to Darknight_Canuck for letting me know the amount of AOS bars for the unit).

Here are a few screenshots untouched by jiggery-pokery, oojamaflippery, doohickery-dickery-dockery, or any other Camberwick Green, Chigley or Trumpton handed aesthetic molestation.
So just some screenshots then.

Looks like "Wessex" to me.
I have no idea what the patches below the divisional sign are.
I think he's decided to go for a very generalized look, rather than a particular unit.
Yeah, no particular regiment, maybe the 4th Dorsets. Any of the ones in Normandy or Market Garden.

Vein,
That is really outstanding work. What graphics card are you using?
A 7800 series Radeon something or other. The pics have been through photoshop for background blurring and contrast adjustment.
I'll post some unadulterated shots over the weekend so you can see them in their current form absolutely 'as is'.
-
I didn't realise that they were... they were imageshacked.
I'll pay attention in future.
-
-
I don't see why not. I'll compile the helmets into a choice of brz's: mixed or all foliage.
-
I'm with you there Erwin.
Any future mods will be 'Veins_MOD NAME_Date made_CMBN (or CMFI) -V2'
So if I released these today it would be:
'Veins_CW UNIFORMS_CMBN-V2_May13'
This mirrors how I format my mod folder (sans the 'veins' prefix natch).
-
I did a couple (rangers and heer) when CMBN was released but they are obsolete now if you have V2.
