Nick Legh Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hi, This note is addressed primarily to the helmet modders out there - saferight, benpark, jorgemc, ez, rambler and others. Could someone please have a go at providing a bit of variety to the commonwealth para helmets, particularly as the Market Garden module features a lot of para scenarios. So far I 've not seen any. Many thanks in advance. Happy New Year to all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saferight Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Ive never done anything but the german ones and im too busy with my current stuff atm. I coulda swore someone had done some good ones before the MG module was released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Legh Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Thanks Saferight I will have a look. I think your German helmet mods are outstanding btw and really do enrich the gaming enjoyment. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Hello, I will not make any assurances but I have been working on some uniform mod’s for myself. I plan just to do MG British and USA. When it’s done it will show up at this Location https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kpb3tobjyxq98hz/Ht_8MxIX20 Currently the only Uniform stuff there is a British MG uniform desaturation Mod but I do plan to expand on that mod. The following picture shows the only 2 Helmet’s I see for the para guys, so I guess you want extra ones. After doing a short search I found these 2 sites referencing British Helmet’s, if you know some better ones just post a link. http://www.ww2britishhelmets.co.uk/home http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/helmets/british-canadian-nets-netted-helmets-220080/ ez 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Legh Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 EZ, Yes I am looking for more variety on Commonwealth Para helmets(please). As you say there are two stock bmps, which is I suppose a bonus as BF only provides one bmp for each of the Mk2 and Mk3 helmets.. I have d/l your CW uniform mod - looks very good.

Erwin Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Looks very good so far EZ (as have been all your other mods). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Ok, Right now I am doing a King Tiger Mod, but after that I will work on some uniform stuff. I am sure somebody else has or will also do some Brit Helmet stuff. Later ez 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Looks very good so far EZ (as have been all your other mods). Sometimes my mods work sometimes not, but I keep at it…… rgr beep 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saferight Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Ok i checked and Vein has a UK uniform mod that adds 2 really nice para helmets with scrim. Heres the link http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/mods/4910/details But it also looks like your going to be getting more than that Nick. This was just a test i did to see how hard it is to mod this, turns out not so bad. I've already got another 13 to work with some with/without scrim and nets. My German stuff can wait for the moment ill try have something out this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Are there any "dirty/wounded" CW faces/skin mods like there are for the Germans and US? I d/l everything and I noticed that only Germans and US have that mod (AFAIK). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saferight Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I think what many others have done Erwin is re name Mord's or Aris's US/Axis faces to be Brits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Legh Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Saferight, these paras look great as they set off for the Market Garden party (not... as it turned out). Thanks a lot, very much appreciated. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Nice work on those new helmets.:cool: For those who have them, the Dark Knight C's AB mods also offer some good options once extracted (using the mod tool) and named correctly. Here's a pic of these with some other mods by DKC, Ben Park (I think), me and some of Aris' faces renamed to apply to Brits. I also use some of George MC's Brit cuss mods and Mord's portraits. A little experimentation/modding can provide some satisfying results in v2.00 using the great work done by earlier modders and the new ones.... Sadly, I can't get DKC's berets to work anymore due to the new way of doing things under v2.00. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodin Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 ^^either a sniper has a fetish in shooting peoples wrists..or this unit had alot of time behind the lines with a variety of magazines..and have suffered "sprains" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 yeah, you generally only want one type of wound file active at a time. otherwise, they all look like they were just thrown out of a US hospital early (for having inadequate insurance) lol. Still, the mods look good. Thanks for posting. (If only I could figure out FRAPS.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimey Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 What can I say about all those sprained wrists......A soldier's life can be lonely one. Ahem. But, yes, I tend to reduce the occurrence of wounds as it can grate. Erwin - fraps. Launch it. Launch game. Choose what you want to capture. Press F10. Look in screenshots folder in fraps directory. Done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I have FRAPS on my computer, I launch it, I press f10 to test and see if I can get a shot of my desktop and I get nothing in the screenshots directory. I can't waste any more time. I give up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwerpunktgrenadier Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Erwin, Did you have anything streaming (other than your eyes) when you pressed f10? I only mention it as I had no response when pressing f10 once when taking a screenshot. Same deal, press f10, check screenshot directory, no image. Discovered that because I was watching something on catch-up that fraps had locked onto the streaming video and because of this I couldn't take a snapshot. Solution was to stop the stream and press f10 and all was well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimey Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Erwin - what do you want to capture. Game screenies or your desk top? If desktop you prob don't need fraps. See here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows-xp/help/setup/take-a-screen-shot If a game then try what I've suggested. Hope helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 It was just a simple test to see if Fraps worked as advertised as so many things don't seem to do so on my system and I end up getting IT people to do it... but that's a pain. Nothing was streaming that I am aware of. But, I have learned that with some security software, it's amazing the trouble it can cause, eg ZoneAlarm and AVG on CM exe files. I absolutely hate messing about with computers. Reminds me of when I had an old Jag in the 70's, and I had a toolbox in the trunk/boot as there was literally a 10% chance the car would break down or have (twin Strom) carburator problems every time it went on the road. I wasted huge amounts of time on that car (mostly cleaning/rebuilding and tuning the Stroms) but now cars are reliable and I don't even want (or need) to open the hood thank you very much. Computers and software seem to be still at the level of mid-20th century cars or early 20th century aircraft and people are still expected to be their own "mechanics". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
