Community Texture Templates.

[slatts 1978]

The idea behind this thread is to help modders make reskins of both vanilla and community content (From original authors!). If you have any PSDs or files that give you the details without the camo of units, guns, vehicles etc. please post them here :)

You can find some of mine in this album.

NATO Uniform template: https://mega.co.nz/#!WsJWWYhZ!lJPqWBsoiyI-YVmWwbj9t1KMKid79bQuPWs9efGhQvU

It's not as good as intended (customization-wise) due to conversion from XCF (GIMP 2.8 file) to PSD. If you use it, give credit.

Example Unit Texture //Faction: Indep. //Model: \A3\Characters_F_Beta\INDEP\ia_soldier_02.p3d

Example Unit Config (Note: remove the unit_ infront of the config.cpp to get it working. / Note² : This Config has some notes in it to learn.)

do not expect much as it is just recreational retexture

[slatts 1978]

Hi guys, I adde dmy own templates of the NATO uniform, Carrier Lite, ECH and Assault pack to the album linked in the first post :)

Quick double post, also just completed a texture template for the CSAT clothing_co file

[npk 16]

Does anyone have a template for the AAF Officer?

I'll begin uploading some of my PSD's, most of which are already covered, but I guess it doesn't hurt having a few extras.

I've created a Texture Template Creation Tutorial.

[manfred89 4]

Just wondering why BI don't release proper templates? Extracting a .paa is all well and good but you're never going to get a great result without Ambient occlusion, cavity, height map layers etc - and we can't bake our own from existing models. It would be nice to be able to edit a normal map too without hex editing, which I believe we're not permitted to do ( unless it is possible to edit the normals and I'm missing something? ) I know there's a template for base uniforms out there, but its strange that all assets don't have a template to go with them, considering the game plays and relys on the mod card so much.

You can apply custom materials to hidden selections with hiddenSelectionsMaterials/setObjectMaterial.

You can apply custom materials to hidden selections with hiddenSelectionsMaterials/setObjectMaterial.

That looks interesting Sniperwolf. Still probably beyond my abilities so far in the setting up. Is that something that can be defined in the config file of an addon like the diffuse map then?

Yes, hiddenSelectionsMaterials allows you to define a custom .rvmat for a hidden selection from config, and setObjectMaterial is the scripting command if you need to do it on the fly.

[nevbox 15]

Simple enough operation. It's even possible in a multiplayer mission only with a dedicated server. I researched and tested it a while back and it worked. Can't remember or find on my PC how.... You can look at source rvmats or actual ones to find out what to do. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_RVMAT

The heavy samples have now been released!

[slatts 1978]

Has anyone made a texture template for the new heavy vests? I'm lost with these PSDs lol

[EricJ 759]

Bottom left is the front of the vest, above that is the shoulder guard, just to the upper right of it is the back of the vest, To the upper left is the groin guard, and the stuff in the periphery are the various bits that are part of the armor. Or what you can do is make a test version by coloring the various parts and seeing it in-game to where all that stuff goes.

[slatts 1978]

Here's the Blufor heavy vest template. Thanks to Kllrt for providing the whole texture. GIMP doesn't like the PSD file.

[IndeedPete 1038]

Actually, there is a way to use the PSDs with GIMP. It requires some manual adjustment. Don't ask me what I did but I got it working somehow:

Dropbox Heavy Vest XCF

[AveryTheKitty 2626]

I have quite a bit of templates I can put here, but they're all XCFs. I got BLUFOR Heavy/Light vest, helmet, clothing, crew helmet. And INDEP helmet, uniform. And OPFOR helmet, uniform. Plus I have 2 backpacks and some of the lighter headgear like Booniehats.

I'll upload them when I have time.
