Lucky_Strike Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 All this talk and activity with shiny new hats, @JM Stuff making us a Viking helmet , M.Falaise giving us some M43 Feldmutze love, got me to thinking how far can we push the envelope, must be scope for a bit of this Black Country cloth: Or maybe some special Essex assault troops: and even perhaps a bit of by heck ...

Lucky_Strike Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 6 hours ago, Falaise said: So far everything is ok the problem and I wanted to know from you Lucky if you also see it, it is with the Lw model for some unknown reason the bmp of the m43 and the side cap appear simultaneously which seems surprising here on the same image the two bmp appear! same crew yet while i write i think i will double the bmp Okay I think I figured this - it's not as odd as it might seem. It took a lot of trial and error, so there are a lot of pics for you all to suffer, but it will hopefully help @Falaise provide us with some nice new Feldmutze for our old fashioned German pixeltruppen. Remember this took hours to figure out! It seemed these were all broken, the crew, excluding officer, should all have matching M43 caps, a need for technicolour ... Heer Panzer crew with mixed textures for caps (headphones removed for now), broken ... stretched old texture ... very odd ... Heer Assault Gun crew - nope, old texture here too ... LW Panzer crew - broken too ... but they got headphones, I thought I got rid of them ...?! SS Panzer crew - always have to show off, but sill broken ... ?**! But hang on - what's this - SS Assault gun crews all get a tangarine each - don't get it ... LW Assault gun crews too? what's going on? And where did they get those headphones? Who the hell are you???? So, apart the the LW crews all bringing their own headphones to the table (they were told to leave them in their vehicles!) what's happening here? All the sidecap files that are in the full 4.0.3 install of CMBN are: It's a lot but nearly half are old, unused (I hope) textures and there are doubles in some cases because of modules like Market Garden. The new Feldmutze textures are in the Z folder, right at the end, so should override all the old textures but something odd is going on ... The clue is the ones that are working ... or more specifically the LW Assault Gun crew - I haven't modded those previously so their caps were vanilla textures, and notice in the installed game set there are two textures which I'd matched with my Feldmutze mod, that is I had installed two copies of the new texture for the LW Assault Gun crew caps to overwrite the two originals. Then it dawned on me ... I have a shed load of uniform mods installed for the Germans, and I have multiple modded versions of the original sidecaps - two or three textures in nearly every case. SO? Remove any mods you have installed for the sidecap and everything should work as expected. If your Z folder has any EXTRA sidecaps like this: Take them out and the new textures will decorate all your caps. OR you can add multiple copies of the new Feldmutze texture to overwrite your installed mod set, like so: Now all my Pixeltruppen crew have nice new hat textures ... Oh, and BTW those LW crews have their own headphone texture bmp, I guess they have a different eagle on them. So, the simple solution, take all your previous mods for sidecaps out of your Z folder before testing the new ones. All should be well ... now who's ready to ride the party bus ...? Oh yeah, margaritas all round, let's get this thing rolling! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky_Strike Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 So forgot to add for anyone else wanting to mess about with these Feldmutze mods - these are the files that you need to create to overwrite the installed originals: All branches m43 cap mdr and lods smod_german_hat-sidecap-lod-1.mdr smod_german_hat-sidecap-lod-2.mdr smod_german_hat-sidecap-lod-3.mdr smod_german_hat-sidecap-lod-4.mdr smod_german_hat-sidecap-lod-5.mdr smod_german_hat-sidecap.mdr Heer - Assault gun crew - m43cap smod_german_hat-sidecap-asltgun_normal map.bmp smod_german_hat-sidecap-asltgun.bmp Heer - Panzer crew - m43cap smod_german_hat-sidecap-tank_normal map.bmp smod_german_hat-sidecap-tank.bmp LW - Assault gun crew - m43cap smod_german_lw_hat-sidecap-asltgun 2_normal map.bmp smod_german_lw_hat-sidecap-asltgun 2.bmp smod_german_lw_hat-sidecap-asltgun_normal map.bmp smod_german_lw_hat-sidecap-asltgun.bmp LW - Panzer crew - m43cap smod_german_lw_hat-sidecap-tank_normal map.bmp smod_german_lw_hat-sidecap-tank.bmp SS - Assault gun crew - m43cap smod_german_ss_hat-sidecap-asltgun_normal map.bmp smod_german_ss_hat-sidecap-asltgun.bmp SS - Panzer crew - m43cap smod_german_ss_hat-sidecap-tank_normal map.bmp smod_german_ss_hat-sidecap-tank.bmp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falaise Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 yes thank you that's what I ended up doing !!! the reason is that it mixes the blue and green side cap in the lw unit the same must be done with the M43 and then it gave me ideas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nice. Perhaps a version with air vent holes as well, wasn't a standard pattern for these so both styles could be seen as often as not. We'll have a good mix of plain colours and camouflage. It's a shame we can't make multiple mdrs in the same way as we have BMPs with the game choosing them randomly, would be nice to keep some sidecaps mixed with feldmutze and crumples for officers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falaise Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) yes it's a shame I like the side cap I will add the ventilation holes an autumn version ... When I was in mid-school, a guy I know with had the same without attributes and of course, guenuine, a battle relic.

Vacillator Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 As we're all giving each other one () I have given you one too @Falaise. Great shots, although the middle one is a little blurry and unrealistic . I just opened up @Canuck21's 'Changing of the guard' scenario and I was in the midst of some lovely swaying foliage, I think in large part due to @Lucky_Strike's excellent work. Have I said that before about his work? Perhaps . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a scary thought even now. Oddly I usually imagine having a Panzerfaust or Panzerschrek in my hands...
