Artkin Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Their helmets are really cool looking. But the Italians have the best flair to their helmets . Looks good!!! Icons look sick too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 I have just been studying the CMRT .bmp for the Soviet M43 uniform. I am determined to turn it into some early war version... We'll use all our old tricks AND the new tricks to get us all back in the early war 40's for CM. But ultimately we can only "alter-simulate" so much until we are displeased at what we see and it is not worth the departure from the norm. "Alter-simulate" is my new word I just made up. TM COPYRIGHT 2021 KOHLENKLAU LLC If you play the CMRT Romania Mod teaser scenario, you will place what you are used to seeing against what we alter-simulate. I hope you are not displeased. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warts 'n' all Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Sadly, the Bolsheviks crushed all the genuine "Soviets" not long after seizing power. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) I am going to try and put the shoulder board epaulets as transparent on an alpha layer in the bmp. I just have to re-learn how to do that... so far in GiMP I have had no luck Edited March 26, 2021 by kohlenklau 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 I believe it requires a higher level program, autodesk 3D MAX and we'll see if we can get a free trial or student's license. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchy56 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) I doubt that's how it works, there is a Blender plugin coded by a charming fellow to open CM's .mdr files but there isn't one for .mds files. From what I've seen the .mds extension is linked to no graphics program, so I believe they are proprietary to Battlefront.

Frenchy56 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Looking around a bit more, I found a plugin which seemingly works on .mds files for Wolfenstein: Return to Castle Wolfenstein character models. I'll investigate this. Edited March 26, 2021 by Frenchy56 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll investigate this. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. We're all really a team here! For the record: If I came across like I thought I knew what I was talking about, I did not intend that! I have on my calendar for next month (April) to get into blender and try to learn how to do something with ti to help make more CM WW2 mods. It looks like a lot of folks are over in the modern titles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 With the help of @Frenchy56 and @JM Stuff and @Probus I am writing a scenario for the autumn of 1942 where the Romanians <<or the German landsers>> will have to hold off the Soviet tanks with just bundled grenades, Teller-35 and Pak38's.
