You have to save as DXT5 in Corsix too, if you didn't know that.
im sure i changed it to DXT5 in corsix. seriously, im only trying to change the helmet color of volksgrenadierSV.rgt without messing up anything. is there any simple way to do this?
#253
i dont understand what the problem is. just open the dds in Photoshop/Gimp, edit it, save it as dxt1 or 5 WITH alpha and mipmaps ,convert the dds to rgt in corsix and everything should be fine.
#254
So making any progress with the brits ?
mhmm I am very anxious to have them ingame :-)
#256
nope, sorry. too much RL work for any modding activities atm.
Hey Halftrack, when the brits skinpack coming to public?

Padobranatz: Please read the 3 posts immediately above yours, and you'll have your answer. There's no need to ask such a question when reading other posts in the thread will answer it, especially when Halftrack answered that very question barely 4 days ago, in the post immediately above yours.
Hey Halftrack, how long does your research usually take when researching and creating uniforms for skins?
#260
depends on the uniform and time frame. and on the sources. it all is dependenat on each other, and I really cant tell...
maybe a few hours.
#261
Hm. Interesting. Not the usual sort of thing you think about. Hope things are doing alright for you mister halftrack.
Halftrack, Thank You!
Imperial Dane, I know, right? It occurred to me after seeing how detailed things get.

By the way, Halftrack, I have to agree with you. I think the original OF skin for Panzergrenadiers were terrible.
#264
I thought they were alright. Not splendid or anything. But alright. Though i hope Halftrack and Zupadupadude get working again
They just seemed so...dull to me.
#266
Matter of taste really
Looking at CoH 2. Uniforms do seem to be of the more Realistic kind thoughThough so far. No Model variations
If I modified the Panzer Lehr uniforms to be used for the Blitzkrieg mod, would it affect online play? I'm only asking because that mod doesn't really use sga files for art.
It will not.
Halftrack, could you please explain how to make the Lehr panzergrenadiers work for panzer elite. Readme says to place pgrenadier to panzerelite/soldiers, but there is nothing named pgrenadier in the rar file I downloaded. What should I do?
Fighting for the greater good
@JustDoIt8
Here are the ABP's for lehr grenadiers,one is set for hq panzer-grenadiers the other for tankbusters\assault-grenadiers.

SlipSon, thank you!
I followed the steps from readme,added the Pgrenadier from the rar file you provided me with,but I get a missing RGM blue cube in-game for panzergrens of PE. I zoomed inside the cube and I could actually see the soldier's skin but with no rifles. Any ideas on that?
That means that the rifle's line in the ABP is probably mispelled, to fix it just go into the abp and change it to the correct path.
@ChickenNuggets! Thanks for your help! It works now. I still have the back of the helmet texture bug though. Hope Halftrack is going to include reworked PE panzergrens with variations in his nex version og the pack.
So is Halftrack saying that in the final release the PE tank crews will actual have online compatible attribute files?
"To think ill of mankind and not wish ill to them, is perhaps the highest wisdom and virtue."
I think Halftrack has slipped into a Coma actually. No just kidding but he hasn't been so active with skinning this summer I don't think.
Anyways no I don't think so @FieldMarshalPF, the Panzergrenadiers model is used for all non-doctrinal infantry (aside from assault grens model) and this includes vehicle crews etc. It uses the same abp as Panzergrenadiers which means whatever the panzergrenadier is the tank crews are the same thing...
Also, I hope Halftrack releases those canadians, I made some really dull versions of the same division as he uses for his canadians but I was just hoping to use mine as a place-holder but they've become a permanent solution by the looks of it
But I still love you Halftrack!
#276
not really a coma, but sth like that. Completely stuffed with work, so I dont have a minute of spare time to mod atm... so sorry.
I understand HT - do what you need to do
Halftrack, any chance that you'll make skins for the Soviets of EF mod?
Copy my image code if you want Japan in a CoH expansion!
BTW, fuck balancing. Give us the Japanese, Russians, Italians and French in CoH, pls awesome Relic team.
hm... guys, pls read the posts above before posting ^^
Halftrack already started british soldiers and didn't released'em right now, + he work on a lot of other project and said that he was realy realy busy with his real life, so i don't think that requesting him extra work is a nice idea
#280
Funny. The soviets of EF mod ARE my skins.
Halftrack my friend, I have to insist, nay demand, that you finish the Brits before you even entertain other requests.
Every time they go into battle, my poor poor Tommies are in tears constantly because everyone else got a sweet "Halftrack makeover", and they're still stuck in the same rags they've been wearing for years. It's terribly demoralizing!
Please don't make my troops suffer much longer
Hear, hear!
@Halftrack
I was going to point out that as well, but waited for your post
@IndigoSpyder
Halftrack made our most of our infantry skins, except for the Navals, which were done by serg_codmod.
#284
well, if you guys insist.. I really dont like to release unfinished packages, but as I have no choice but to do so again,
I hereby finally give you a pack of Tommies. I wanted to add much more, like random different uniform & Helmet variants for the soldiers,
different lieutenant variants, Marine Commandos and so on... but all yet unfinished, and it would take ages to finish,
considering my lack of free time so here are the finished ones:
First post updated.
@HT
Thank a lot,i am not a big allies fan...but now i cant resist!
the textures are just...amazing.
These skins are awesome! I love em' :P
Halftrack, you're the best.
At least we have something to work with. If you ever find the time, you can always re-release them.
Thanks buddy.
@Halftrack and blackbishop
My bad gents. As long as it's Halftrack's handiwork I'm cool with that then. But having random uniform and head gear for the Soviets wouldn't hurt, take your time by all means, goes the same with the Brits
#289
Fantastic skins once more, HT! Thanks for sharing. Hopefully you'll get more free time in the future, I know how busy you are with work and such.
Probably the best CW Skins I've seen to date, Outstanding!
I only have one question at this point in time. Is there a way you could upload the Tommy RV without the variation of the "Rifle Grenade" version? It's quite annoying to have regular squads waltzing around with 2/6 men without backpacks for some reason. My only other problem would be the facemasks the Expert Engineers wear, they seem to be invisible.
Other those two small things, these are done perfectly!

oh right, the facemasks, totally forgot abot them. Guess I will update this.
As for the Tommy Rolevariation thing, just maneuver to your Data/Art/Models/Races/CW/Soldiers
folder in Explorer, and delete or rename the "tommy. abp". that should remove it.
@Halftrack - Alright; will they simply all come out with their regular kit then? (I'll test it regardless; I appreciate the quick reply!)
I personally like the backpack/no pack RV, it adds more realism to the game I would think. I'm pretty sure wearing the backpacks was common but occasionally soldiers wouldn't wear them (like the american airborne Halftrack has perhaps?) I have seen some pictures of canadian/british infantry wear some men don't have the packs on, usually it is like a sergeant or someone who is not wearing their backpack. The best picture I could think of as an example on such a short notice is this one from ManuGod's mod.
I'm not too sure on the equipment worn by the commonwealth once the troops got it, I have seen some weird setups made custom by the soldiers on the battlefield to their uniforms before so...
Spoiler
But yeah anyways I just wanted to throw that out there, I guess it is a personal preference and you could just do as Halftrack suggests, because I think in vCOH the tommies don't have an ABP or something and the model/rgm and everything are loaded directly and so by deleting Halftrack's newly made Tommy.abp it will once again load the original RGO from vCOH which just loads the regular soldier with no randomization whatsoever, but I do suggest you take the RGO from Widowmaker1's tommies if you want them to have a RV where they switch between steel helmets (MKII) and steel helms w/ netting and foliage on their helmets.
in fact when soldiers were on the way for an assault, or when they were suddenly attacked by the ennemy, they only use their uniform, let their backpack behind'em to freed their movments
Assault troops had not any backpack btw
@Halftrack
Realy realy nice work here mate, now we all must say... as always
Good job !
#295
@Twitchy: Yes, it will make them choose their outfit by upgrade, as before.
I guess we all know that it adds realism, to have varieties of equipment, but personally I am a little
unhappy with the Random RV, too. The Equipment is bound to their upgrade, which is nice for distinction,
which is now lost.
My main concern with the Tommies is the same like with the PE Grens.. one model/skin
used for almost everything. Mortar gunners, Drivers, MG Gunners, Tankcrews,
( okay, at least the British have a commander ) , everything. So at least a little varietey in
uniform shading , rank insignias, headwear and stuff would have been great, and thats
what I planned ..

It simply looks odd for me to see a good chunk of a squad with Backpacks and then two Scottish men without them. It would simply be one or the other, you wouldn't tell part of your squad to drop them and leave the rest on the rest of the men's back if everyone has the same kit.
Is there a certain file that manages the Facemask so that I could overwrite the rest of the skin and keep the facemasks working for now?
Fellas, it seems to me that Halftrack allowed us to download a WIP version of his Commonwealth skins because he's got too much RL stuff on his plate and doesn't have time to work on the project (and to get people like me to finally stop begging lol).
Let's simply say "thank you" and not make more further demands on his time.
Or we simply wait until it's fully done.
I was just wondering what file enabled/disabled the Facemasks; No rush or pressure to him to do anything I just would like to use his Sappers and not have invisible Facemasks. They're probably the best CW skins I've ever seen though, so kudos to Halftrack for being nice enough to release them WIP!
