Frenchy56 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone, after getting an idea and spending most of my night putting the iconic turret stowage bin on every British Sherman in CMBN, here it is: https://www.mediafire.com/file/552xj6xe8aleibv/British+Sherman+storage+boxes.rar/file The storage box itself has its own texture. The second texture for each of them is transparent so they don't show up on every tank. It uses the same template as the Sherman IC turret texture so if you want to modify it, you can replace it with another Sherman IC Firefly turret texture. The retextures I'm using are not included (they're from Aris and DKC's wonderful 21st Army Group mod). The included storage box texture is the vanilla one.

kohlenklau Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Excellent Frenchy, you just got to have a place to put the liberated Cognac. Out of curiosity, did you use some existing mesh in the vehicle mdr or import another mdr or start from scratch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The box on the back of a Firefly turret is actually the counterweight.....They often had stowage boxes mounted onto that: Edited January 23, 2022 by Sgt.Squarehead 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falaise Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) super and essential for the British (like the sten MK3 ). The impacts are visible on the transparent versions too, but the inconvenience is negligible compared to the interest. thank you Frenchy.

Frenchy56 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Yep, I had a small thought about that, but shots coming in at that angle would be quite rare anyway. If it bothers anyone you can just remove the transparent second texture. Edited January 24, 2022 by Frenchy56 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you the name of transparents textures that I delete them ? Edited January 24, 2022 by Falaise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 @Falaise I found that the tanks without storage boxes were throwing flickery shadows that were a bit distracting. So I went into the Textures folder and deleted all the transparencies. They are the files ending with a 2. Although I expect you've worked that out by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livdoc44 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) This is great. I never noticed the storage boxes on British Shermans but now I can't unsee them. Just adds another little detail that I didn't even know that I needed. Thanks!
