What I find maddening right now is the lack of imagination and flexibility in the SPD especially. Sure, we can't completely cut ourselves off from Russian gas for a while, everyone INCLUDING Ukraine understands that by now and doesn't expect us to completely tank the EU economy.
What Ukraine does expect is to make up for that with increased weapons shipments. It should have been a no-brainer to be prepared for that and have a few attractive options ready (which the German military industry is already offering).

Some of you asked for them. Some of you will get them.

Includes:

Infantry - Mainly Brown
Guards - Mixed Green/Brown
Cavalry - Green/Blue

Crew - Black
Backpacks - Green/Brown

Soviet faces - mostly skin colour

helmets
smocks

Note: there are a few smocks based on someone else's excellent smock mod but as I hadn't planned to release these I can't remember whose they were.
Pics are a bit sucky...

1. Create your base pattern to be double the size you'll need it. Either from scratch or if it's a bugger like the US camo find a good swatch image online and splice it together using the clone tool or masked layers or whatever.
 
2. Fill the uniform layer with your pattern and resize so the pattern is the correct size to its real world counterpart. Make the pattern different for each arm/leg (move it up or down on one leg for variation), and make sure you note that the pattern is the right way up (as the arms on the bmp are head to toe).
 
3. Add in creases on a new layer using a much darker version of your base colour. Make a selection on your base layer pattern a little larger than a crease and use 'Transform/warp' to bend the pattern around the crease so that it looks more realistic.
 
4. Add a vest base colour. Find a few images of the vest you want and start selecting bits and reconstruct it on your vest layer. You will probably need to clone bits, warp bits and even redraw bits in to get a complete vest depending on how accurate you want it to look.
 
5. Add in shadows along the vest bits. Not too deep. A 4 pixel brush at around 60% opacity should do it. Or you could ultilise Drop Shadow if you know how to use it with deftness.
 
6. Repeat 4-5 for knee pads etc.
 
 
This is just a broad stoke guide to making a diffuse map. You could add in cloth texture patterns, dirt, desaturate bits where the cloth would be stressed - knees, elbows etc.

If you need any advice just drop me a PM.

Attached is the layout of the Russian uniform showing which bit is which (if I recall correctly).

A few people have asked for them so in the time honoured tradition: if you want them bung me a PM.
 
Note: they are a V1, I haven't really gone to town on them. There may be a V2. There may not.

V3 of my flames/tracers/smoke/muzzle flash/explosions mod.

Differences from previous versions:
Smoke is new.
Flames redone from scratch.
Explosions redone.
Muzzle flashes tweaked.

Oh there's also some sexy hit decals in there but I forgot to get any pics.

Tracers tweaked just a smidge (barely noticeable). (uploaded separately.)


There shouldn't be any PC performance impact.

They work in all CM x2 games.

These are [tagged] ss totenkopf 3rd division skins.

There are:

infantry
smocks
helmet
boots
ponchos
crew
armed inf
armed engineers (not sure if these will work as I think they were tagged already)


Scenario use

Put the 'tot inf.txt' file into your 'documents/battlefront/red thunder/game files' directory. In the scenario editor open 'import mod tags' and select the 'tot inf' file.


CMBN use

Should you want to use these skins in CMBN you will need to rename ALL files by removing the [tot-inf] tag and adding in '_ss' after the word 'german in the file name'.


Download

If you want them just send me an empty PM with 'Tot-inf' as the subject and I'll get back to you with the dropbox link. Don't be shy, I work from home so am around a lot.

I modded the us/brit/syrian uniforms for CMSF but the Syrians were made into a made up country because I wanted to use the SLA(?) camo used in Arma.
 
I didn't release them however and now they are tucked away on a backup drive somewhere. I didn't mod CMA apart from the effects.
 
CMSF and CMA aren't on my PC anymore, I found I missed too many of the new features of the WW2/BS titles. Looking forward to SF2 though, whenever it turns up.
