para Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Not convincingly. The sleeve models project out a little more than the Marines in CMSF so that you can'y hide the join even with gloves. It just looks odd. shame it would of been good to see a few with sleeves rolled up. it was summer after all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellmann Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Damn you LongLeftFlank! I was completely at peace with the Officer's hat, but NOW it rubs like sand in my eyes. So... Yes, I noticed this... it's as if different artists worked on the Panzer and infantry officer caps isn't it? I think the in-game panzer peaked cap looks more professionally done, both in model design and high texture quality. Even the lo-res swastika insignia on the "bad cap" texture is mirrored! First thing I noticed about the panzer officer's cap was the nice high quality material texture AND the swastika the historically correct way round, same as the belt-buckles. So, if you don't mind me asking, how did you manage to swap the superior panzer officers cap model over with the bad one?? I mean, to appear in-game on the infantry units? Outstanding job if you managed to do it!? Or did you just photoshop the above image to illustrate the point? Or maybe you changed the names of the textures and dismounted the officer from his tank to make that picture? I hope we can actually get rid of that bad cap model in-game for good. Can we?? (and don't forget editing the pink panzer piping to the correct silver/white officer Waffenfarbe for infantry and SS). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 From what I'm gleaning all headgear is swapable. You could theoretically put officer caps on all the German soldiers or even the American soldiers, though why you would want to is another question. I'm thinking this is more for plans down the road where we might get British Airborne in both helmets and berets or possibly adding Feldmitzen to the Germans. One sees a lot of pictures of Germans in Feldmitzen but I don't know how often they actually went into combat wearing them. Bill Mauldin in "Up Front" indicates it wasn't unusual in Italy. I understand no "new" type of headgear can be added. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vein Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 I did a bit of model swapping, hex editing, file renaming and texture modifying. Headgear IS swappable but not easily. As it's all stuff that isn't hidden (unlike the soldier skeletons) I imagine that I could update my german mod if you want it (I changed the cap after I uploaded the mod). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaws Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Yes please update the German mod. Your update looks great 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellmann Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Wow of course, hexed!! thanks! Ah well... what can I say... outstanding job. I bet I wouldn't be the only one here who'd dearly love to use your fixed officers cap! There's no chance I could ever hex edit that on my own. So please, it'd be amazing if you could upload your v3 for us to enjoy your artistic work sir. And yes I agree I'd love to see headgear like M43 caps in the game... but I'm guessing that, like you say, we "can't" (officially!?) add NEW hats/helmets models... because if we "could" do that, then we could make our own Fallschirmjäger units!! Hehe I doubt we'd ever see THAT mod on the Repository! (not until after the official Commonwealth/SS/Fallschirmjäger add-on is out anyway) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonar Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hi, I would like to see some german officers wearing steel helmets and some wearing caps, is this possible or would it be one or the other ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vein Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 One or the other I believe. You MAY be able to randomise headwear, I haven't tried it out as I only want my officers wearing caps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeel Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I absolutely love your germans! I liked the vanilla ones too, but these look pretty battered and just the right amount of weary! 10 out of 10 points! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strelok2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hello I have a Z in the data folder created folder and the files moved in there in the game but the units still look the same. what have I done wrong? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFightingSeabee Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Strelok2011 A) Make sure they are unzipped. You may be playing with Airborne (?) or some other unit not covered by the mod. Hope that helps! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarsS Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 This is great work! Thanks a bunch! If you have time, please do update the mod to use the panzer officers' hat for infantry officers. LLF ruined the stock hat for me;). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vein Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 I have an update underway. Including the changed hat and new faces as well as sundry other things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Bro, you are like an endless Christmas stocking! Well, Santa, how's that terrain looking? Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vein Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 I have tried uploading it to the Repository about 4 times but it keeps saying 'Unspecified file', whatever that means. I'll try uploading it from my work Mac (as opposed to my fun PC), and see it that makes a difference. It's around 160 mb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCat Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Could also put it over at: http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/ as well... or even a file sharing site like megaupload. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Lovely work, Vein. Is this "Vein's Germans CMBN v1" (which I have) or do you have an updated version now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainman Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 LOVE THIS thank you alot! This game is amazing I just started playing it, I remember first Combat Mission when I was a kid. Is there a mod for Fallschirmjägers? That would be awesome Salute 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solicitor Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Very nice. (Although I gotta observe that the odds of an infantry captain being a Ritterkreuzträger were about nil) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Is there a mod for Fallschirmjägers? They will be in the next module. Hopefully with an appropriate model. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
