Saferight Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I'm going to make new cuff titles for the SS troops in the game. Just beginning to test it out and i need some opinions before I go in any deeper. I want to know if the Hohenstaufen title is too bright white and needs to be colored like the stock LAH title or just fine? I'm planning on making ones for Leibstandarte, Das Reich, Hohenstaufen, Frundsberg, Hitlerjugend, Gotz Von Berlichingen, and Landstorm Nederland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavicula_Nox Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 It's just fine, to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 They look good and will be just in time...'specially the Landstorm Nederland...hint hint. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saferight Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Okay thanks for the input gentlemen I'm going to get cracking on these, just need some red bull and metal music to listen to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saferight Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Another thing, does anyone know if the Waffen SS Armored Engineer skins are used at all? O an I might as well do the sleeve eagles and maybe the shoulder boards too.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 The SS Arm Eng uniforms? I am not sure...I was wondering about these myself. You could copy them and draw a big red X on them and drop'em in the z folder...see if they show up. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heer troops do have it though an its just infantry wearing the assault gun wrapper. Im just about done with the sleeve eagles im giving enlisted men and officer's/nco's different styles I don't know how accurate that is but I like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saferight Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 I've finished the 12th SS here's a sample want to see what you all think. I'm trying to make sure they stay legible. I also might scrap that eagle though for another one. It looks kind of too tall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 It's a tricky ass texture to put words and such on. MJ, DC, or some of the other uni guys may be able to give you some advice as they have done a lot of mods using patches. As for my opinion, it's above passable. The sleeve looks very good.

Darknight (DC) Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Getting the textures to stretch just right can be maddening, since different parts of the sleeves stretch irregularly. I was using a warp brush to get sleeve patches to work, and then LOTS of trial and error to figure where to set them best.....once I got a few templates it became easier to mass produce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saferight Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Thank you for the advice guys. Definitely going to take a lot longer getting these to line up correctly and not look like alphabet soup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saferight Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Released on GreenAsJade's mod warehouse all feedback appreciated. My HJ cuff titles are almost ready but need some more work. I might release a version with the stock collar tabs etc. for those that prefer those instead of mine. http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/mods/5079/details 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saferight Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 Close enough for me so I'm going to upload to GaJ's site. Stretching the letters helped somewhat but the resolution is so small that its really a hair pulling affair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saferight Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 I'm going to be doing Hohenstaufen and Frundsberg cuff titles next but before that i want to finish something i started awhile ago. A new Heer splinter helmet cover but i dont know if the coloring is correct or needs to be darker? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saferight Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 Here's a darker one for comparison. This is from a repro helmet cover i don't know how accurate its pattern an foliage loops are does anyone know? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Use them both...as new and faded. I always assumed foliage loops were not standardized, since I've seen them in various positions in WW II pics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saferight Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Use them both...as new and faded. I always assumed foliage loops were not standardized, since I've seen them in various positions in WW II pics. Will do, i'll probably have a pack ready tonight with 4 maybe 5 types faded an unfaded versions included. It'll add some more variety i suppose. I noticed somethings while making these. that weird warp at the front of the helmets caused by the model i guess. An with the shaders on they have the surface of a plain helmet.

Saferight Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 I will be uploading to Green as Jade's shortly. The mod will include 8 helmet covers in both spring an fall mix of Oakleaf, Plane Tree, and Blurred Edge patterns. Early war overprint patterns thrown in for shi**s an giggles they are much cleaner than the others. These were the 1st waffen SS camos issued but they were used throughout the war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
