Mord Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I notices this with my German Face mod and Aragorn2002 confirmed it...so I double double checked and did a test by marking the Germ faces with red Xs. And yep...when I loaded up some US tanks...low and behold... Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vein Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Yeah, the US tankers use american skins in the lods but not in the main model. They use german ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 That makes no sense. There's like 14 US faces why share Germ faces with the US Tankers? Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Why not? In the end it is one set of white boys versus another set of white boys. This ain't Syrians v NATO. Sure, ideally they should use different faces or the same faces but with different file names to let modders like your esteemed self do their thing. But it strikes me as a bit of a non-issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Well, it's just kind of weird...I mean why go through all the trouble of creating 27 separate textures if they are gonna be cross pollinated? I hope it gets fixed. In the end is it a huge deal? No. But it does screw up the modding possibilities. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vein Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It is quite obviously an oversight. Like I mentioned, the lods use the correct skins just not the higher poly up close and personal version. So when you can't notice them they have the US faces... if that makes you feel any better about it I'm sure there's a philosophical question in there somewhere. They'll probably fix it in a patch. It's simple enough to do (I've done it already). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MengJiao Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I'm sure there's a philosophical question in there somewhere. Like if a face falls in a forest is anything harmed except for the effort of alliteration's being wasted? Perhaps the good Old US boys have adopted the good old Aztec Jaguar Priest discipline of skinning their enemies and wearing their skins? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vein Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It's done in a way that BF don't want done for hacker prevention reasons. Whilst I'm not overly sure why they've done it I respect their decision to do so. So unfortunately I can't let you have it. As an added annoyance for you I also have unique skins for both sets of crews and the german officer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 The "Germs" have to have separate faces so modders can add scars that every German officer has running down his face, apparently the result of some saber wound suffered in the Franco Prussian War. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Now that is odd. When the heck did U.S. tankers start using German faces? Some last-minute adjusting of textures and models had been done late in the game to lighten the CPU burdon. Perhaps something got inadvertantly/deliberately switched. I'll look into that. :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequoia Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks for checking Mike. Hey, maybe someone will want to make a scenario featuring a Black Tank Destroyer battalion someday. It may not be important to everyone but if it's an easy fix why not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webwing Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I´m checking this. We have skins for the US and separate skins for the Germans. We don´t have specific skin sets for the crew though. The mix up with the skins must have been because I upgraded the German faces first and later ported them to the US soldiers. This should be fixed for the upcoming patch. You guys must have noticed that the textures of the faces now have almost no distortion in the BMP file. Also they occupy a bigger area in the plate. This is so it will have a higher resolution without increasing file size, and also to make it easier to mod. You can for instance just copy your own photo and paste it in there and it will fit without much work. Some color adjustment and blending will be needed for sure but much less than before. - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
