Theres a T-34 75mm barreled tank behind this Sherman? Eastern Front Mod?

Nice later model Sherman though.

@Thiky83 - It looks fine, no need to change it because of a little thing

Great skin Widow

[burtondrummerNY]

@Thiky, crews would often write things on the sides of their vehicles for various reasons that aren't considered standard issue. Things like nose art on bombers and fighter planes, naming tanks (Thunderbolt VII, this tank, etc)

Very nice skin

[Thiky83]

I do not dispute it, that beautiful skin, and it is not necessary to make changes on him.
And yes, i know, that "write things on the sides of their vehicles for various reasons"

But.
That the text, on that place. On all illustrations.

Widowmaker knows it only, that from where saw the original or that what he make that artistic freedom.

other (colour picture)


and this?

[Widowmaker1]

The original markins I wanted to make where totally different but....the way the UV map was made, so that it uses the original skin, means that it streches heavily over the larger turret and unevenly making it almost impossible to create decent markings on the turret sides(and trust me I did try! Ask Sweeten...).
Hence why I opted to make this one which is a mixed reference. Saying that markings on soviet tanks were far from regular and about 90% had individual slogans on them painted by the crews

[Thiky83]

Don't ask Sweeten. I believe you!
I saw white stars or canadian markers on Sherman turrets and i thought.....
There are things what I don't know from here from the background.

Hi, I just returned playing CoH and experienced a problem concerning the Luftwaffe Troops of the updated WH Skinpack. They came on the battlefield in pink. Maybe someone else has this problem, too. Quick solution to this problem is to use Widowmakers old luftwaffe.abp. It works fine me.

[Widowmaker1]

KV2 WIP

[Ninja117]

Very nice work Widow.

[Gamerisin]

holy crap...that must be the best KV-2 skin I've seen so far!!!

[Widowmaker1]

Here's a better one :P Final version



Before

[sweeten2213]

Don't ask Sweeten. I believe you!

Makes it sound like I'm a Kommisar or something

Nice work Widow as always

[Celution]

Damn, that's a nice KV-2!!!

[Thiky83]

Cool KV-2 skins!!

[Lethal Dosage]

Indeed lovely KV-2, it almost looks like there's different light and shadow falling on different parts of the tank (except CoH doesn't have such a detailed light renderer).

[[]inveigle[]]

You are an artist of rare quality brother.

[Cinerama]

Widowmaker,

first of all, thanks for all your great skins, they are trully one of the best.

Now i found a little problem

your PE grenadier from the PE Grens/Tankbusters file is missing his SS collar.
You can see on it your picture, but ingame you instead see a bit of a black undershirt

I double checked if i installed everything the right way, but all other skins are working fine, and the PE grenadier looks fine except for the collar bit (tankhunter guy also looks good)

Could it have something to do with the fact that with your PE grenadier from your WH skins V2 pack you can also see a bit black undershirt? But with that PE grenadier it is on purpose i think, because on the picture you can also see a little black near his collar

This is a how they like ingame (BTW this an old picture from your PE grenadier i found in this topic)



This is how they should look ingame (according to your picture)



The PE grenadiers form the WH skins V2 pack, also without the collar (but with them i think its on purpose)



Could it be that the pgrenadier.abp file from your WH skins V2 pack is the same as the pgrenadier.abp file from the PE Grens/Tankbusters file. And that it is missing the entry for the neck collar? Is it something i can correct myself

model = {

"..\\..\\Common\\CompleteMotionTree.abp",

"..\\..\\Common\\CommonMeshes.abp",

"..\\..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\Stielgranate",

"..\\..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\POW\\POW",

"..\\..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\Volksgrenadier\\Volksgrenadier_body4",

"..\\..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\Panzergrenadier\\Equip4",

"..\\..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\Kar98",

"..\\..\\Axis\\Soldiers\\Weapons\\G43 Sniper Rifle", }

Are other people experiencing the same problem?

[Cinerama]

@widowmaker1

could you please help me or at least point me in the right direction, or am i seeing ghost and is this skin as it should be? The least week i learned a lot about skins and the abp files, but because i dont know how to skin my own knowledge is not enough to solve this

@every one else

could someone check how widow's PE grenadier skin looks in their game?

[Gamerisin]

@Cinerama,emm...I don't quite understand what you want,are you saying that the Panzergrenadiers don't have the SS on their uniforms???

if that is,then first..it has nothing to do with abp.'s the abp.just point in the skin from your skin folders and in fact the whole skin model I think...then it is the whole skin you see,may be only you,cause I can remember seeing the SS markings on the uniforms and I have both installed but just in case,let me check that out :P

[Cinerama]

@Gamerisin: Thanks in advance for your help.

what i am saying is that my PE grenadiers are missing a piece of clothing near their neck (with the SS sign on it) i think the english word for it is collar?

In my game, the PE grenadiers look like this:


And according to Widow's picture it should like like this



The PE grenadier from the WH skin V2 pack looks like this in my game (same black neck piece)



Ohh and thanks for pointing out that it wasnt the abp, i would have kept looking there

[Rocksitter]

These are the PE Tank Buster and Panzer Gren that I get Iam unable to get the variants working..


Also in your V2 Skin there seems to be a problem with the pio file?

[Widowmaker1]

There is no problem with the pack as its a simple copy of mine.

You're trying to mix the skins with different ABPs/RGMs hence the issue. You're modifying the pack or you've incorrectly installed it over a previous skin pack which causes the issues.
You need to install the skins over a fresh untouched Art.sga
The one on the left isn't even my skin.

Also, please use the 'spoiler' function when you're posting so many pictures

Cheers

[Celution]

Well, looking at the v2 PG's on your first post, I do see them missing the ss sign, and has a black neck.

[Rocksitter]

Thank you for the quick reply but this was just your skin pack saved over a old Externalskinpack ...

when i try to extract your V2 file it says something is wrong with the pio file it says...


CRC failed in WHSkins V2\data\art\models\races\axis\soldiers\pioneer\model\lex_ax_pioneer.rgt'. File is broken

I had the same problem, rocksitter. Try the mirror link, that one is just fine

[Rocksitter]

"You need to install the skins over a fresh untouched Art.sga "

Iam using this for a mod I play so i just made a Externalskinpack.sga

do i need to change something else besides this file??

[Celution]

Rocksitter, read my last post on this thread.

http://forums.relicnews.com/showthre...94#post3876994

[Cinerama]

But i installed the skins over an fresh untouched Art.sga. But i still get the black piece near the neck.

Can anyone else check if he has the same black neck piece problem as shown in the pictures of post #1623

@widow: Is the black neck piece in both PE grenadier skins (both the green and brown one) intended?

[Cinerama]

Has anyone had any luck reproducing the problem with the black neckpiece?

@Gamersin: you found anything out yet?

[Rocksitter]

I have the same problem with the black collar and no SS ...

[GreenGriffon]

I've now added Widow's skinpack to 2 fresh installs on my LAN, and the collars are exactly as they should be on the PE grenadiers.

I don't know what you're doing, but the skins themselves are perfectly fine.

[Gamerisin]

@Cinerama,hi and my skin is working perfectly,so as @GreenGriffon said,it must be something with your installation,sorry buddy but I don't know what else you could do.

[Lethal Dosage]

Rocksitter and Cinerama, could it be your graphics settings? What do you have your model quality settings set to? If their Low or the Model slider bar is set down low, that could be why those extra little bits of the model are being cut off.

[WarpSpider89]

Nice I love the Tiger skin.

[groundfire]

Widowmaker, just wanted to let you know that your link for the Cuckoo Panther does not download.

It goes to the filefont page but is unable to find the file after you click "download"

[Widowmaker1]

From a normal skin to a relic skin...what is the world coming to hey...

[ds_vet9091]

Man, these skins are awesome!

[Celution]

Awesome Comet Widow! Will you please release it public?

[Lethal Dosage]

Oh god yes, excellent 'Relic' Comet Widow. Please do release it for the public.

[Thiky83]

Awesome Comet Widow!

I agree!!

[Widowmaker1]

Its gonna be in the next EF patch, but sure I'll post a link here too.

[cennedy1457]

Awesome skin Widow, eagerly waiting to see it in EF soon. Thank you very much

[Celution]

That would be very kind of you to also release it seperately Widow. May we use the Jagdtiger skin from EF aswell?

[Widowmaker1]

Sure, why not

[Celution]

Thanks a lot Widow! Now the Jagdtiger in BtB has a really nice skin. Great work!

[Widowmaker1]

[Celution]

Are those Commandos or SAS? Whatever they are, they do look fantastic!

[Widowmaker1]

Royal Marine Commandos...SAS will look differently :P
