Kumamoto Joe Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi. I tried renaming and combining various file types to get them to show, and I'm afraid I already know the answer to this question, but... Is it possible to get haversacks to show on the US guys in GL? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Joe, I doubt it, because the mdr?? files would need to direct the game to put them on the dogface model. If FI/GL doesn't already do that, I just don't think it can be done. (I haven't played for or against Americans in FI/GL in 6 months or more, so I don't know if there is any backpack/haversack, etc., used on the Amis.) I believe I read on here recentlky that even a hex editor doesn't work on GL, which could possibly have re-directed what gear goes on what model. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Equipment distribution is hard-coded, plus its specific to particular units and their personal weapons too. Haversacks were left off in CMFI in large part due to criticism of their inclusion in CMBN. You don't see many picture of troops on either side engaged in close combat while carrying knapsacks on their backs, especially in mid-July in Sicily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumamoto Joe Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Thank you for your replies. Historical accuracy be damned, I think they look far more dramatic with haversacks. Oh well, I'll make due with what I got. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
