Gnasher Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 I can supply references if I can tempt anyone........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Grey Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 That's a lot of stuff you're asking for... Had I not a lot of CM mods still on my hands, I'd try it on my own. Anyone out there that would help me? Together it could be done, for one man alone it'll be nearly impossible, I'm afraid. But you could supply the references to me so I can take a look and do some thinking/planning. Would that be a deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnasher Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 In a word, SURE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rofl Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Do you mean 1024 textures with emblems for the vehicles? If so, halftrack and universal carrier use only one texture for both fenders, more or less impossible to paint correct markings on them. The other vehicles would be possible but lots of large files, about 40 Mb or more. I also had some camo uniforms for ss-infantry but deleted them because the ugly texture stretching, now i use fieldgrey but with steelhelmet instead of the cap.

Earl Grey Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 @rofl: Yes, have seen that in the other thread. A problem we won't be able to work around, I'm afraid - no matter what pattern we use. Regarding the insignia on vehicles: if there's no other way we can still put it on the back of the turret (I have seen a photograph of a "Frunsdberg" Panther with the full shield painted on the turret hatch) or the hull. There are always limitations - CM mirrored the textures which was a good solution for keeping texture amoutns small but did have shortcomigns when trying to depict historical camouflage patterns...

Gnasher Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Most of the divisional insignia are not on the bumpers but on the main body. 43rd Wessex Division 11th Armoured (With German Arty Observer) :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnasher Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 BTW devs tanks overturned by arty or bombs would be a cool feature for the add on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyman56 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 But slighty unrealistic dont you think 1C are (unfortuantly) very adament that the gaame should be as historically accurate as possible" so that isnt't very as you dont see tanks over turned by shells that often!!!! I would like it though but i bet the game engine cant even handle that kind of physics simulation (can it do any?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyman56 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Anyway on-topic i have never done any skin modding with ToW as it is faer to complicated and if it were like Half-Life 2 and all source games then yes i would but soz i wont do this i would kill myself.

Earl Grey Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Well, all the textures are in one file and you can draw templates from the stock textures with some work - you only have to figure out how to work with alpha channels (which I still need to, but I'll manage). Would be awesome if we could work on this together and everyone of us does a different part of the project. So yeah, I'm talking about forming some kind of team, though on a fun basis.

Earl Grey Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Obviously not all of the vehicles of sSS-PzAbt101 used the same insignia... May It ake it that you're primarily looking for skins with distinctive unit insignia and not new camouflage patterns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnasher Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Some more info on division & unit insignia & reference material:- Cheers :cool: Gnasher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rofl Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 First test for placemnent and colors, the background from the dragon should be darkblue or black? That are the only possible positions on the bren, I must overpaint the lower body frontbars but i think its ok. That's a light weathered version for my personal use, you can also have the markings new on default skin if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnasher Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Black for vehicles & blue for uniforms as far as I can tell. BTW the bren gun carrier skin is just what I need, may I use it & I suggest saving it as something like bren43rd? Also does it have white stars on the side?
