He means that in your pictures the mg's appear slightly yellowish in color.

[VanAdrian]

Then as i said before, don't be scared about my preview picture haha

It is too saturated ^^

They looks well ingame

@ - 250WH div-

I sent you a pm with the new texture.

Please do not release it publicaly, as it is the private property of Widowmaker1

[blackbishop]

@VanAdrian
lol... that's the skin we are using for the late Tiger in Ostheer :O! You hacked us XD!!

Btw, good job with the HMG reskins .

[VanAdrian]

Haha, you mean the one made by Widow ? If so, do you want my fixed texture i sent to -250 WH div - or did you already have a fixed one ?

[blackbishop]

AFAIK it didn't need to be fixed, but please sent me a copy to compare it .

US MG pack v2.0 is out !

Bigger size here : http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/791646usmgpack.jpg
Download link here : Download the US MG pack v2.0

The 50 .cal was realy weird with the green tint so i keep it grey, just did some little tweak. As i did some bad details on the 2 other mgs i did an improved version with better color choice/detail level.
I even did a new version of the tripod wich was too lighter and wich had a realy bad definition... so the holes were too bad when playing with low settings or when zooming out.

I also included all my original files so it will avoid problems and make the thing easier to instal ^^

Hope you prefer those babies as they are now

[VanAdrian]

Here we go with the second King Tiger model, courtesy of Eliw00d for the animations and DMZ for the model.

DMZ managed to avoid the distorsion problem the turret made by Skyward had on it's top. He included some stowage and new details aswell to make it having a better look.

Known bug : Wrong position for the mg gunner on the Henschel turret. Wrong position of the coaxial mg on both turret.

I've included my own setup for the files, what i recommand is to make use only of the commander (wich is fully working) for the Henschel variant. Porshe turret works fine with both commander and gunner btw

If you want to make a texture for it, there is some UV map differences with the vanilla model and with Skyward's model, and be aware to use the same Alpha chanel

Hope you like it

Bonnes vacances!




Ps : encore bravo pour tout ce que tu as fait!

[eliw00d]

@VanAdrian
The coaxial MGs are in the correct locations. Why do you think they are not?

[VanAdrian]

@Celéstial and Matt57

Thanks guys

Have a good time too ^^

[VanAdrian]

PS :

As i'm still away and writing down this from a public building, i will certainly not give any support/reply/answer here for a while.

Hope you understand.

See you in September anyway

[VanAdrian]

edit :

all "modern things"'s download suppressed.

(limit of 50 images... tsstss )

I will not rehost those files BTW, cause those thing are already included in MC.

[Slayerknecht]

I just did quick test, and of the Global Package, which sounds very promising, even though I can't witness most of its effects as I can't run DX10 on my Laptop.

But I got these effects:

As this looks a little too much for me I removed the pointlight.rgt.

[VanAdrian]

Mhh strange...

I'm outdoor on the same WI-FI point this morning so i can read your message Slay, but the bad thing is that it's OUTDOOR so i can't see the image in the good way...

I think that i see some greenish tint on your sherman wreck but that all...

Strange, cause for me all is working perfectly ^^ (maybe try to edit the team color chanel ? Replace it or something else ?)

Anyway that's the first release and it was a bit rushed to share it with you before leaving the area to another point... without WI-FI there

So i may have forgot something...

I'll be online monday maybe

[Slayerknecht]

No prob take a look at it when you're finished. The Sherman is greenish, that's my fault, but what I really mean is lighting of the ground. The pointlight.rgt seems to be responsible for the lighting of the ground for lamps and flames. And the pointlight.rgt you included is so color intensive and increases the lighting area in a way which doesn't look good (on day maps at least, could work for fine night settings).

Thanks for the railroad pack.

[VanAdrian]

Oh well yeah i see now

Strange that this does not happend to me anyway O_o

So here i did a new version of the pack, including a fix for the pointlight wich should avoid this problem

... and i even did something new for both british and USA ^^

Check those new buildings, i realy hope you prefer those new one cause i must delete the old to optimize my thread and my hosted files :P

Here you go with the new global improvment patch :

I've reworked a bit the first post with all the released stuff, i deleted some files cause of the 50 image limitation... wich would be out-used later if i'd kept all my release alive

Enjoy

[NL123]

van,its really easy to say you R the greatest?

[Celution]

Very nice dude, do you plan on redoing the Wehrmacht and Panzer Elite base buildings too, and perhaps all HQ's?

[VanAdrian]

@NL123

Wow thanks for the compliment haha But realy, i'm far from being the greatest here mate ^^

And do not forget that a lot of thing released here are a coop job Not only mine so :P

@Cel

I plan nothing in fact, just do what i want to do when i get the time lol

Anyway it was in my to (re)do list :P

I'm quite satisfied of the textures but i think that little more detailed beton texture + some minor other tweaks should be nice ^^. I think that i'll remove the camouflaged antenna of the first PE base buildings for the original one too, what would you prefer guys ?

[keelan85]

I have only just got round to trying the King Tiger, and its seems to half install correctly. I run it and the model is working, but the base of the tank is rendering ingame with a green sort of skin and the hull turret has no muzzle flash or sound.

Everything else renders fine on the turret.

[VanAdrian]

for the green issue it's my fault, i forgot the correct team color texture

Just open the hull .rgm and change the team color texture for another one you will call kingtiger_hull_tc for exemple. Then copy the original yeam color texture from the vanilla game and name it like this.

It will fix your issue.

For the muzzle flash and sound you have to edit the .rgd... i can't help you here cause i have not the files, anyway i'll fix everything when i'll be back home.

[keelan85]

Any closer to fixing up the King Tiger?

[striker]

very good your inputs
but I have a question
I built the truck of transport to the commonwealth but the gunner does not attack enemy units
I can do that the gunner will shoot the enemy

[VanAdrian]

Hey guys

I'm back from my vacations but i came accros another problem... i will have to be hospitalized for 1 month from 21 September to an unknow date for some chirurgical things... i will survive of course, but i will be absent again, and before this absence i start my second year of history studies at the university so i prefer to keep real life prime over modding. Sorry.

Anyway i'm still in the business and i plan to make the following thing before XMass haha ^^ !

-- new real life looking ground textures (maybe by Zuppadupadude, if not, by myself)

-- new real life looking plants, hedgerow, bushes and foliages textures (by Zuppadupadude)

-- updated version of all my german base buildings

-- fixed king tiger package including the 2 version in 1 download

Those are priorities but will not be okay before christmas i think, anyway i will be aware to release those goodies before starting other projects

Hope you understand.

Best wishes to everybody !!

[TheVole]

I wish you my best of luck on your "chirugical things?" I am assuming you meant surgical?


Glad to see you back from vacation, and wish you a quick recovery from your operation.

[VanAdrian]

yep surgical

I've still some lack of words in english, as in France we tend to be noobies in foreign languages

Thanks

[Slayerknecht]

New ground textures would be incredibly awesome. They seem to get worse every time I see them.

[Rain]

Yey!. Good to see you back sir. VanAdrian, and that's one awesome and promising list there.

[Aidas2]

Good to have you back. Can't wait for the new stuff

[VanAdrian]

Here are the new axis structures pack :

It do not include huge changes, that's still the same than before but with some minor tweacks and fixes + a new alpha chanel and with the integration of my new "No Team Color System"

Be aware that the german howitzer nest is still buggy cause i've removed the annoying barbed wire from it so it cause some black line on the supposed emplacement of the barbed wire... and the barracks are buggy too, as Slayer said it when released his own files, the team color don't work properly on the baarack's wooden parts, wich can looks nice as they can looks white painted ^^ Not problematic at all, and even give some variation to my mind haha, but it's important to know

Here you go with the new pack : Download

[Dartborne]

@VanAdrian, you are very good

[VanAdrian]

Thanks Dart

BTW here we go with the revamped version of the koenigtigers ! New download with all files in 1 pack.

King Tiger custom model pack :

Download link here : Download

First post updated aswell

Thanks again to all artists who did the original textures (GnigruH) and the original models and animations (DMZ and Eliw00d for the top one, Skyward, Halftrack and Tankdestroyer for the second one).

Enjoy !

[TheVole]

Just wondering are there any differences between this KT and your old or is it just updated textures?

[VanAdrian]

no difference, just that everything is in a single pack + now it include the model files for the HT and TD's model + i fixed the team color problem... for me at least, don't know if it will be correct for you so let me know of any issue with the texture

[keelan85]

I can get your skin working but I just can't seem to get your first model working. I think I might be going mental lol. Everything is in the correct location, the abp file is pointing to your new model but they just refuse to load (this is the DMZ model).

Oh your textures are working tho.

[VanAdrian]

@keelan85

...mh strange, all is fine for me... and you just copy pasted my files ?

You maybe have forgotten something in the attributes i think, do you kept the tiger_ace.rgd from the original game or did you modified it or took another one from a mod ?

DMZ's model include both heschell and porshe turret so you need to apply a state into the upgrade_action entry of your ebp's .rgd

[keelan85]

I do actually run the eastern mod along with my mod at the same time. Maybe that is stopping the model from rendering? As I said the skin works.

I have put the files in the right location, so its not that. For the DMZ model it should be a straight copy and paste as it uses that same folder names as the original.

[blackbishop]

@keelan85
Unless you have packed up your new models in a SGA file, they won't show up because the vanilla files are named the same as the ones given by VanAdrian and the game will load the original ones.

[keelan85]

The thing is tho, they are in an SGA :S lol

[VanAdrian]

Time for some new screenies

No release for the moment, but check the new and very nice thread started by robotnik where he did and plan to release some nice and strange machines which were created during the war

[Rain]

That skin is very tempting,. i like it!

[firefish]

Wow... Awesome skin... Can't wait....

[GzaDrunkGenius]

In the custom ui downloads there's a portrait and symbol of a heavy engineer. Do you also happen to have the icon for it?

[robotnik]

Yes the skin is very nice, its released in my thread, just re-download the Panzerjager bren

[Jagdpanther]

Mhmm, this skin looks really good, like the template of the original. But why you don't use this texture for the shreks too?

[VanAdrian]

@GzaDrunkGenius
i had it but lost it, easy to do, will update my thread when i'll get the time ^^

@JP
Mh the same texture for the schreks ? Do you mean brownish texture with tan dot ?

Anyway robotnik is certainly making an improved version of his nice model, i'll give him a new version of my job including a wreck texture (thanks to Pajeu for the head up haha ! ) and a new panzerschrek texture if you want mate
