Aragorn2002 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I have a question. I really don't like the British helmet mk 2 in the game. It looks like fighting much earlier in the war. So I would like to replace it entirely by the British helmet mk 3? Is that even possible, and if so how? Thank you in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Zaitzev Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 You have to edit the mds skeleton files of the infantry with a software like Notepad++ and replace all mention of Mk2 with Mk3, it's a bit more involved but that's the basic you should start looking into. When you open the file you will see a lot of strange symbols, bot just press CTRL+F and search for the exact denomination of the MK2 file that's probably inside the uniforms folder and replace it with the exact name of the MK3 helmet. Again, it might be more complex, but this is the basic. Hope it helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Zaitzev Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Wait, the simplest way would be to copy the MK3 mdr file and it's associated bmp file and rename it like the MK2, then when the game looks for MK2 it will get a MK3 instead! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to read you 2nd post, Ivan, first one sounded like a bit out of my league. I'm going to try it. Thank you! Just one more question. Where do I find the mdr file exaclty?

Ivan Zaitzev Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 You have to explode the brz files and look for the soldiers folder, and then for the nationality and uniforms folder, it should be there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you have to copy the modified files into the mods or z folder for them to work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got it working, Ivan. Looks a lot better with all British soldiers wearing the Mk 3 helmet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
