Axis realism mod skins III for KMOD13.9c [Green tank bug fixed]

[Gremlin Shoota]

@Gremlin shoota
Allies realistic skin? I thought that the relic already had it well done. In fact, all I did for the allies was to give them the 48 star American flag... and correct symbol locations on the tanks... cant think of anything more to do for them. They are good enough.

Well, there ok, but what about some more units for Allies, cause as you can see in one of the screenshots there's approx. 7 new units for axis.

[Kyranzor]

well, me, being the maker of the mod gameplay and thus the "units" feel that the americans dont NEED and realistically shouldnt have too many different squads. The American's aim in and after WW2 was to create a streamlined army that was very standardised and easy to understand and use.

the Germans in WW2 however were facing manpower and economic shortages, and could not really support a nicely organisted Army for much longer after 1944 when most units were being re-fitted into Volksgrenadier divisions, made from the battle-weary left-overs from other divisions, and raw recruits. Therefore, the Germans also had need to make more "ad hoc" arrangements for squads, that could do the job intended and then get a role-swap and do something else...

[nsysusoloman]

Thanks super_newbie_pro, you can establish the links if you want. ^^

[super_newbie_pr]

Thanks nsysusoloman.

I have install your skins on Kmod 1.39f ! Its very excellent.

Have you see the DoctorLee vbmenu_register("postmenu_1947590", true); work ? officer and doctors are excellent ahah !



What do you think to add the German eagle on all the helmets ? as in my screen (its your skins and i have add-on eagle with paintpro )



I have an question for your futur developpment :

your actually tanks skins :



What do you think about skins modifications for tanks ? as we see here : http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/4...zeracesls0.jpg

But with a camouflage more marked bus here on the screen, one would say that coulors are "fuzzy and washed"

Good luck for your futur skins. After translation kmod 1.39f in French, i will create webpage for french comunauty to promote your skins pack.

I really dont get it, why some of you dont realize that lots those skins have been made by halftrack, whose panzercommanders you show... http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/...nzeracesls0.jpg

whatever, the guy in camo are waffen ss, they didnt wear eagles on the helmet,
and besides, the camocover was worn ABOVE the helmet, so no markings could be seen...

[super_newbie_pr]

yes but... its so beautiful lol

Would you agree to change the camouflage of the German tanks? Look screens for panzers camouflage here : http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=125289
Its beautiful !!! rraaaaa... and euh... lol... euh... i dont know if you see this detail, but look all your German soldiers skins... They are equipped as if they fought near Moscow into full winters? It would be said that they have large wind-breakers and parkas ! lol... Why not to make a class "elite" with the sleeves rolled up like here:







With black helmet and eagle on them...



And why not with green uniform as here (and why not exactly same uniform but with the sleeves rolled up and eagle on black helmet) :





What do you think ?

EDIT : Clan Rommel update : webpage on this skin pack update for french players... and the link for this topic : http://perso.orange.fr/rommel/coh_liens.html ( http://perso.orange.fr/rommel )

[nsysusoloman]

@super_newb
Rolling up sleeves requires changes not only to skin textures, but also to the models! I dont know how to make models yet.
And the cammo suggestion for the tank is good, but I need to know if those skins are authentic skins before I add them.
Thanks for the webpage you made. You might as well take some screenshots from skinIII yourself instead of using the original ones, because my video card is really bad and I am totally unpleased with my screenshots.
Great job on the webpage. I am glad you like skinIII.

[Tigerr1313]

Hey guys I have a question. I have been following both KMOD and the Commando Mod and Currently play Commando because of my game being version 1.7 and I was wondering if the skins from KMOd will work with my commando mod? Also, is there a fix for the KMOD problem and version 1.7 yet? I would like ot play both mods but like I said 1.7 really sucks and wont let me play KMOD... I . If anyone could tell me if those skins would work on commando that would be great. Thanks Kyranzor and Revoluci0n for your great mods!

[DoctorLee]

Any skins works on ANY mod or ANY version, since it's only art files, not datas. (Unless a certain mod uses its own art files)

Although, you need to modify your WW2Art.sga file to use it online.(NOT using skins as a mod)

[Tigerr1313]

How could I do that?

[nsysusoloman]

@DoctorLee,
you're right, but some unit textures might need to be renamed. Take the fallschrijager unit for example, it is named 2ehrmacht in KMOD, but EC uses another name. You might also need to configure the contents of .abp files using text editor.
@Tigerr1313,
you can try replacing EC mod's 'DATA' folder with the DATA folder from my skinpack. (but backup your file first)

[super_newbie_pr]

Kyranzor say on official forum Kmod, the 1.4 will come. Do you know if the Axis realism mod skins III will work ? or it will be necessary to developp a new Axix realism mod Skin IV ?

[nsysusoloman]

@super_newbie_pr

If kyran didnt change unit names or add additional units, then the skin pack should work, which is quite impossible, because in 1.4, you will find tons of new stuff.

I won't make skin IV, but maybe I will make a update

[Kyranzor]

There will only be a few minor 'new stuff' in this upcoming release, in 2-3 days, because the main goal is to get 1.7 compatability, which except for one ability used by the american command squad is totally crash-free so far (unless we still havent found a crash or two..)

using Nsysusoloman's skins should work fine, because there are plenty of the standard units which can still use his skins.

Also, alot of Halftrack's skins will be included in this next release.

[nsysusoloman]

Oh, great to hear that skinIII still works well with 1.4

^^" <- face, with a bit of sweat

[super_newbie_pr]

i hoppe patch for Axis III will come soon for the 1.4
And why not, a full version installer (*.exe ?)

[nsysusoloman]

I only play with graphics...
full version installer? Don't know how to make..

[super_newbie_pr]

up up for this skin for 1.4
Good luck nsysusoloman !

[nsysusoloman]

hmn... I have not yet played 1.4 yet, because my com broke down months ago.. I am using my brother's lousy com now.
1.4 should be good enough, using HT skinpack 2.0.
The reason I made some skins myself (like wehrmact, volks or mp) is because these skins were either corrupted (from HT skinpack 1.0) or unavailable. Otherwise, I'd prefer using HT skins for all.
I will have to try 1.4 first before I decide how to update skinIII.
Thanks super_newbie for all your support. You are skinIII's top fan.

Couldn't you of not used KMOD for this? I highly dislike how it changed the gameplay. I was hoping the No KMOD instructions would of just installed the skins, because I dislike game mods that change game's gameplay for nearly any game. Though I badly wish the Germans and Allies looked more like they should. This looked great until i saw MGs outrangeing snipers and when I first engaged the AI they had 2 x the infantry as i did and they only had 1 squad vs my 3 squads.. what gives? lol Once they got into range the MG nest killed everyone my sniper was totally useless because the MG fired farther than him.

This just destroyed the whole fun of the original game. Can you not make it just the skins themselves without the gameplay changes? It would be a gift to the whole community if it was, because not everyone wants to download a game mod just to get some new pretty faces for their soldiers. Because of KMOD I have to give this mod a big awful rateing despite how pretty it made all the units.

[FLEXTER]

@ Nsysusoloman: Love the new swasticas and grenadier skins But what do i have to do to add the caps back on to the volks + change icon , change the ss back to the regular skin and add the bue circles under selected units. What files should i take out? Kyranzor said you might be able to help.

Thanks

[nsysusoloman]

@Lumi,
If you don't like kmod's gameplay, all you have to do is to rename the 'DataAttrib' folder to something else.

Couldn't you of not used KMOD for this? This just destroyed the whole fun of the original game

The original game is too slow, I dont like it.

Because of KMOD I have to give this mod a big awful rateing despite how pretty it made all the units.

lol, you are the ones who got kmod low-rated.
we are now enemies, grrr... >:o

@Flexter
to recover the caps, go to:
\KMOD\Data\art\models\races\axis\soldiers\shared_textures
and rename the 'tex_ax_volksgrenadier.rgt' file to something else

then go to:
\KMOD\Data\art\models\races\axis\soldiers
in the 'volksgrenadier.abp' file,
remove the line "motz//motz"

*Rename them back to their original name if you want helmets again. (Don't know why you prefer those baseball caps, real soldiers wear helmets :P)

ss... I am not sure,
go to :
\KMOD\Data\art\models\races\axis\soldiers
you can try renaming the 'panzergrenadier' folder to something else

selection circles...
go to:
\KMOD\Data\art\ui\ingame
rename the 'selection' folder to something else

[FLEXTER]

Doesn't seem to be working on the orrignal coh . I used a skin installer so i could play multiplayer games on the vanilla version as well with the new skins. any ideas ?

[nsysusoloman]

I am not familiar with the skin installer, sorry, no ideas on this one...

[DaRosa80]

So This will only work for Kmod right? Not for the regular COH?

[nsysusoloman]

@darosa80

If you don't like kmod's gameplay, all you have to do is to rename the 'DataAttrib' folder to something else.

[FLEXTER]

Without a skin installer you cant play online with the new skins.

Any ideas on the names of the files of volks and waffen ss so i can put them back to what they were in k mod?

[nsysusoloman]

um.. by now, you should know which files to change...
'cause I've already told you in the last page.
Just grab the files from the original KMOD accordingly...

[FLEXTER]

Ok thanks, The volks are back but with the wrong icon . Grenadiers from your skin pack have gone + the swasticas on resouce point buildings and the swasticas on bunkers . The rest is fine.

[nsysusoloman]

I don't know what went wrong now...
Well, things tend to get complicated when configuring files, you know.

[kdong1234]

thank you~
keep it up~

[Sepplainer]

Where is the FILE to download? The link isn't showing up..I read through all the pages...looks very good...

[nsysusoloman]

@kdong, thx
@sepplainer, you need kmod1.4 to play
To download kmod, visit:
http://www.kmod.org/kmod_forum/downloads.php

[DaRosa80]

These skins are amazing with our without Kmod great job

[nsysusoloman]

@darosa80
lol, these skins exist because of kmod!

[Sepplainer]

@nsysusoloman

I have Kmod 1.4...the link isn't showing up in the post. It's okay though, I have the pack, it's very good. I found it on another COH site...

[nsysusoloman]

@Sepplainer,
I didn't know that AASP addon is available in places other than kmod.org, can you give me a link to it please?

[FLEXTER]

@nsysusoloman , These skins rock so much ! i'm used to the volks now its kinda cool having helmetsL the detail on them and the grenadiers is staggering but PLZ PLZ CHANGE the Waffen SS backto green or brown , they were my favourate units and they just dont look right

[nsysusoloman]

@flexter,
Those skins dont rock, they are only what the germans should really look like back then. Thanks for your compliment on my wehrmacht, though.
As for the ss, there were many types of uniform for them. Can you try getting used to them too? =)
I used the ss in medal of honor for my reference.

[FLEXTER]

They rock for me i'l playing on ultra high settings The ss uniform is not historically accurate especially the helmet. One way or another for me its got to go. Didn't you design the skins yourself? if so can you find out how i can change them . thanks

[nsysusoloman]

I did design the ss skin, but not without a reference!
b.t.w I think the helmet color goes well with tanks

The panzergrenadier skins are located in:
KMOD\Data\art\models\races\axis\soldiers\panzergrenadier\panzergrenadier\model

delete them or replace them or configure them using photo CS2... whatever.

[SkyCaptain37]

i have a question, why dont my display icons look like the ones on the first page second picture, also my opels have no flag on them... what i do wrong?

[super_newbie_pr]

Hey...

I am not happy for Company of Heroes Opposing Front ! :-/

I will uninstall all, and install COH with 1.71 patch only. I would like install Kmod 1.39c + your axis realism skin III but i have a programm. I have not saved Kmod 1.39c and on the official website for this mod, there is only the 1.4 kmod.

Do you know where i can download the 1.39c Kmod ? If you give me authorization, i will create a pack for automatic installation, with kmod 1.39c + your axis realism skin III. Are you agree ?

[nsysusoloman]

@Super_newbie
I dont have the right to give you 'authorization' since it's the work of many people.
I stopped working on this skin pack because of the bad influence it may have on younger people.
Not everybody is matured enough to judge what's wrong and what's right you see...



@skycaptain
sorry for the ultra late reply (5 months late)
could be version problem

[AnyKey]

Well, history is not meant to be censored, it's meant to be taught the way it happened and ended. I believe the problem is not in your work, rather the person who is downloading and his intentions of it.


It's sad to see you say you've stopped work, I understand the Swastika symbols represents ideas/a period of a time when it was used for crimes against humanity.


But the swastika was hardly unique to Third Reich of Germany. Centuries before Hitler adopted it as the symbol of his political movement and, later, of the state, it was familiar around the globe. It was used by the ancient Hellenes and Celts, and displayed by North American Indians, while in India it was revered as a sign of good fortune and prosperity. The word itself comes from the Sanskrit for "well-being."

Unfortunately the world forever now will remember its association with murders/deaths of millions.

[Danius]

How do i download this mod?

Its been removed or whats going on?

[super_newbie_pr]

Its bad... very bad if people dont understand its a game ! I suggest to adapt this Axis realism mod skins III to the last Kmod 1.4 with patch : http://kmod.org/KMOD/kmod_builds/KMOD_v1.4+Patch.exe and do one file, an *.exe with skins+patch. Its not necessary to create new skins for the 1.4 Kmod, but only adapt the Axis realism mod skins III to units can receive them in the 1.4. I host you if necessary, or people accept to adapt the Axis realism mod skins III to the Kmod 1.4+patch

EDIT ; I have see on the Kyranzor website on this link ; http://www.kmod.org/kmod_forum/downl...hp?do=cat&id=2

<< This skin pack, plus a few extra visual goodies was made as an addon by the development team to give an alternative for the axis infantry skins, to make them more classical wehrmacht style, as well as give them a realistic (early war) appearance.

PLEASE NOTE:
this skin pack contains frequent use of the swastica, on flags and on vehicle/infantry skins (81.06 MB) >>

[IRGC]

Hi nice work
but can you release this independent of KMOD?also
thanks

[col.sanders]

yes I agree IRGC , this would benefit the coh community greatly if you can release this independently. This is a beautiful piece of art, and just because there are ignorant people who cant learn history and have a one track mind , does not mean it should deter you from sharing your great work with the community. I really hope you will change your mind and share this with everyone...
