COH New Models. British Models Package!![24/01/10]

[Akranadas]

OK guys, I hope you love me after this


Being inspired by some pictures where you see some grenadiers of ww2, each one of them with diferent clothes (somes with camo, others not), I start working in an rgo that allow me to do that. And I have to say that after many hours of job, I made it.


It works in this way, it select in an aleatory way one skin between four and give it to the unit, so forget about adding a lot of ebps to get this this=0). You now will have squads with random skins to give some more realistic feel to the battle.

You can found it in the attachments section in the first post.

Having trouble getting this to work.

I've got the files in the right location, and created the various variations for the volks dress, yet they only appear to come with what ever isn't set as either _a _b or _c.

[tankdestroyer]

@Akranadas probably you replace the default volksgrenadier with these files, in this way it doesn't work because the engine will look for the default file. What you need to do is give the files I upload a diferent name(example VGrenadier) and link them in the abp you want(probably the volksgrenadier.abp). Then set everything like I wrote in the txt and it will work.

[georider]

for the truth your new RGM are in a very good way of use see the result
New WIP based on @tankdestroyer volksgrenadier RGM the new NCO for Waffen Grenadiers a mix unit using the Italian cammo trouser (CW_tank crew leader ) , Blurred cammo tunic ( Volksgrenadier body-helmet) and the grear from fallsrimjager for mp ammo puts . This is the 2nd working mix , also the CW trouser can work with standar volksgrenadier but with medic variation and with the stormtrooper body. I believe that this is the most good looking mix for a standard NCO from 12 SS div ( as most of the 12 SS NCO was former Veterans from 1SS LSSAH) the other skin is a mix of tankbuster with stormtrooper for an old tunic style ( my old NCO skin)

The rest is the New VOlksgrenadier RGM adding the helmet without mix models ,the Volks NCO is the medicrolevariation Volk with the tankbuster ammo puts ,gear ,panzerfaust.

[tankdestroyer]

Good work @Geo. I guess we can say bye to a lot of mixings=)


Edit: You don't need to use the medic rolevaration to mix the volks with tankbuster, it works with the volksgrenadier rolevaration.

[georider]

You don't need to use the medic rolevaration to mix the volks with tankbuster, it works with the volksgrenadier rolevaration.

Maybe you are right but if you try this mix with the field cap the result is awkward.
I have also like to add that to use these someone must modify the dds adding alpha channel to field cap or the helmet .

[GnigruG]

@ georider & GnigruG:

Hi, some skin variations/camos for the JPZ4/48 would be great!! Due to 110% modding workload I have no time for skinning any more...

If any model from this thread stuns me, It will get my rework for sure, of course if creators agree .

Offcourse you can

Any update on the A34 Comet?

[Vex T]

I know this wasn't on the list... but it would be nice if the Super Pershing could be added! Note the extra armouring and extended barrel length

[georider]

Super Pershing and hokes pocks weapons /tanks /super rockets etc etc. Ok these probably have test it in the later days of WW2 but the realism of the period is too much with the m-26 standard one , I vote for Tanks that saw action like M4E8 , M-24 ,etc etc. Besides an M-36 is better than an M-26 it much more realistic. Also a King Tiger with Porsche Tower is better than Mouse .

[tankdestroyer]

Preview of the Jagdpanzer with skirts. The final version will include these skirts that make visible with an upgrade, a better smooth canon and sheld(thanks to @Sturmhaubitze for his advice); and some fixs with the animations.

[georider]

very good , a litle detail work on zimmerit and the jagdIV will be perfect

OK, yeah I'm biased towards "realism" and all, but I have to TOTALLY agree with my friend Geo here. I think that the units that were actually and more widely used will get more "attention" than those that were not (though obviously there will be some requests for the less or never used). You may get some people DL'ing the odd stuff for personal use, but modders are gonna want the real stuff

[GnigruG]

If you want only 'common' vehicles then remove:

Calliope
Sherman Croc
Pershing
Tetrarch
Churchill Avre
Churchill Croc
Hotchkiss
Wirbelwind
Bergetiger
Jagdpanther
Puma
Geschutzwagen
Ostwind
Tiger
King Tiger

...which were nowhere near common.

Very true, very true. But at least they were more common than some of the other vehicles mentioned in the thread (for the record, I actually did remove the Pershing from my mod )

[georider]

@GnigruG look mate those you are reference the was used the Mouse never Super M-26 once , maybe you did not got the point .
Anyway in my point of view COH is a WW2 game not a Korean war or CC3 ,I like to have the opportunity to make a Korean War Mod with these units or a early ww2 used units ,even a Spanish civil war mod etc etc.
Any new work is welcome , personal I preferred all those that saw action except the unfinished special/super etc etc weapons . I like a lot the idea of the pack 38 with the rocket , the new PZ t(38) from @Celéstial's team also I like a lot this 3d team plans and I'm willing also to help them out when I got time

[pojarsma]

Any update on the A34 Comet?

Spoiler

[Dragon93]

Very nice.

One thing though that's kinda bugging me after seeing the pic Widow posted.



That part, should be level with the rest of the turret, not higher up.

[pojarsma]

Spoiler

[Vex T]

Eh, about the Super Pershing. It was but a mere suggestion... M-36 is indeed more common, but the M-26 is as real as any other tank. Besides the Pershing did saw service, it just that it didn't participate in the Normandy landings much like the Comet tank hehe. Oh well... I'll just keep my hopes up.

And Geo... totally agree with the KT instead of the dumbo Elefant tank

[DrEvil....EVIL!]

And Geo... totally agree with the KT instead of the dumbo Elefant tank

That "dumbo" Ferdinand/Elephant may well be one of the most successful AFVs of WW2 as it achieved the golden 10:1 ratio. It was also more involved in WW2 than the M26 Pershing. That said, it is more suited for the Eastern Front.

[georider]

First of all I did not said that I don't like M-26 , I agree it had not saw action in Normandy but it fought at the end at Germany. Defendant I like to see comet or Elephand/nashorn /ferdinand , particular I like all the Tanks/armor of WW2 . I have and I will have my objections on Super weapons like Karl .
More new vehicles means more Skins more add ons more different mod . Besides the WIP on Normandy or EF or even the old BotB I like in the future to see some mods like Africa (as far as I know they are back in business) , France 40, Italian front and why not a pre WW2 like spanish civil war or WW1 mod.
The major problem besides of the new Armor/Tank models will be also the new troop skins /helmet etc etc. But I like a lot the idea of a troop with Adrian helmet as the Colonial free france forces or an Italian soldier model in Africa etc etc
PS the Elephand as far as I saw in preview it will be include in EF.

[pojarsma]

I just wanted to say that if anyone is interested in uv mapping please say so.
Just a note if you only want to uv map one vehicle and not all that's totally fine.

The more people working,the faster you will get new models.
Cheers

[pojarsma]

Sd.Kfz. 251/1 Ausf D/R-35
Captured and converted.

Meant for free france.

Spoiler

[Celution]

Lol, is that Historical? I never heard of it.

[pojarsma]

http://ww2drawings.jexiste.fr/Files/...251-1D_R35.htm

Wouldn't be a catastrof if it isn't either as it was pretty much a copy and paste job.

[tankdestroyer]

Never in my life thought something like that existed. But good work @Pojarsma, it looks awesome.

[georider]

Yes this where exists. Free France forces due to limitation of Equipment have used capture German Tanks,Armor , modify these for their purpose. This sdkf was rare , also they have used Panzer , recaptures H-35, H39 etc. Some of these saw also action in Indochina during first Vietnam war 45-54 .
Those Ideas are good ,to copy past 3d parts or add new probably it is easy compared with the final animated model (RGM) . Anyway very good thought .

[Celution]

If you want to further develop it, open the back of the fighing compartement, like on the blueprints.

[pojarsma]

Yeah I thought about that too, but if I do that they will need visual slots.
Maybe for some balancing it should be closed.

But you guys decide

[GnigruG]

This is not the best pic, but anyway you should add those two turret periscopes. The commander cupola has a wrong shape and the muzzle brake is too big (relic''s firefly maybe).

If you want some documentation on a Comet or anything else, I could upload a pdf for you...

[Angelic]

why not put a canvas blanket on it so you wont have to put visual slots on it and still look historical accurate

[130Th Panzer]

Comets commander cupola has the same shape as the churchill tanks commander cupola.

[pojarsma]

Do you have any closer pics on the periscopes?

Comets commander cupola has the same shape as the churchill tanks commander cupola.

Lucky me, thanks for the help

[Gamerisin]

great work guys,the SdKfz.251/1 Ausf D/R-35 is very cool,I've never seen it until now,I have a question,the Jagdpanzer IV WILL be updated with skirts or it already has been updated for download???
thx in advance.

[Widowmaker1]

Now we're talking! Thanks for taking the suggestions on board pojarsma and refining the models. It's always nice to get 'Relic Quality' models if not better...

[Grizzly Bear]

this is fantastic stuff finally COH modded material!!!. makes me smile so much.. maybe a jumbo is in order? =) or the m1919?

[tankdestroyer]

@Gamerisin the Jagdpanzer will be updated soon. @Slayerknecht has been very busy making textures from 0, so we should wait for his great magic, since to add the skirts I had to change the UV mapping and @Slayerknecht had to redone great part of his nice work. Now some candy eye, I guess we are going to finish it before the sdkfz 250 9:



VERY WIP. This model was done by @Freewar so credits to him for that. Texture always from @Slayerknecht. There are no propelers since these are add by OE with a marker.

[Angelic]

its doesnt look bad but could use some details

[sweeten2213]

It just keeps getting better

I'm sure it will be a work of art by the end

[Angelic]

but hows the halftrack going.. i love halftracks..

[sweeten2213]

but hows the halftrack going.. i love halftracks..

I have to admit I'm also looking forward to the 260/9, but I guess whatever order is want is OK by me (the Stuka will also see action )

[Angelic]

Yea since there all new model it doesnt really matter wich one is first

That’s really good! Could you guys also make the longer barrelled version, the Pz. IV/70(V)?

[Widowmaker1]

Any chance you'll be looking into making this one?

M-24 Chaffee

[GnigruG]

Don't think so, cos there's nothing to mix it from.

[Freewar]

@slayerknecht
Awesome progress

@angelic
I didn't add too much details for the sake of performance and I don't think that you'll notice this when it's moving and throwing it's load on your Sherman.

[GnigruG]

Maybe...

M8 HMC

Slightly modified stuart hull + different turret (with an open top unfortunately). Vehicle not so rare, >1 made .

Hmm I get this Maus feeling about this but it's a better idea then the maus, so I will think about it.

Glad you people make sugestions
keep'em coming

[GnigruG]

Maus???
Why?
It's nothing like mouse... >1 means 'more than one' and it was a sarcasm referring to the sdkfz conversion...
1778 were actually built.
