IndeedPete 1038 Posted October 14, 2015 Pete's Texture Templates Good evening, over the last year I've gathered quite an amount of templates for A3's vanilla textures, allowing for quick re-texturing of units, vehicles, and gear. I thought I'd share them here for others to use. Please note that they're by no means professional or anything, it's just what I've learned over the year. Hence the quality might differ from template to template, but most of them will at least save you time when cutting out things from the original files. While I do posses files for most vehicles and uniforms, the initial release will only contain a few refined ones (list below). But I plan to update the selection from time to time. If you require anything specific or need config examples, just let me know in this thread and I'll see what I can do. The most interesting are probably the main uniforms of all three sides and the MX family. All files are done with poor people's Photoshop, GIMP 2, and thus come in the .xcf format. Naming conventions closely relate to the originals. Keep in mind that I just copypasted my templates so there's all kinds of stuff flying around in them. Before we head on to the list and the download, these fellow modders have also uploaded a great selection of templates: PSD Templates for NATO Soldiers Nevbox's Texture Resources Community Texture Templates Arma 3 retexture templates by DreamRebel Examples List of Uploaded Templates Air BLUFOR Blackfoot Hummingbird / Pawnee Ghosthawk Huron INDEP Hellcat Mohawk Buzzard Armour BLUFOR Cheetah / Panther Marshall Slammer Scorcher Sandstorm INDEP Mora Kuma Gorgon Autonomous Darter Greyhawk Stomper Backpacks Carryall Assault Pack Kitbag Fieldpack Camos A few...

Vectif 380 Posted November 9, 2015 Thanks alot for the textures!though do you think you could do some of the backpacks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndeedPete 1038 Posted November 9, 2015 Which ones? I believe I have some for most of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndeedPete 1038 Posted November 21, 2015 Updated most of the clothes. They're much more plastic now due to the new fabric effect and the dirt patterns received an overhaul. Also added more detail, exchangeable boot colours for example. And I've also uploaded four backpacks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lordfrith 401 Posted December 15, 2015 wow, big hearty thanks for releasing this, this is a majorly useful asset to the modding community, i doff my cap at thee sir! there are many good templates out there already but its cool to have a good, complete set all in one place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greywolf907 20 Posted January 18, 2016 Stumbled across your post nice job man keep up the good work. can you also post the config files to make the textures into a full .pbo file it would be a big help to people starting out with re textures thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndeedPete 1038 Posted January 18, 2016 Thanks, but I said in the first post that I will provide specific config examples as needed and not by default. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greywolf907 20 Posted January 18, 2016 K how about the configs for Nato, Opfor, Ind Uinforms, vests, helmets also the carry all pack and the Mx rifles. I have some re textured units I have done in the past but would like to see the config structure and get my head around it a bit more thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndeedPete 1038 Posted January 18, 2016 https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Characters_And_Gear_Encoding_Guide There's everything you need on a single page. Plus unit, uniform, headgear, vest, backpack, weapon, and more config samples. All you need is a bit of copypasting and replacing classnames. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greywolf907 20 Posted January 18, 2016 Yeah thanks for the link. Just to have a full working re textured unit config to reference and see how it all looks together with a re textured weapon, pack, vest, Etc would be great can you maybe post one from your units? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shomu1 193 Posted January 18, 2016 How would one go about replacing the default green texture on the Ghosthawk so that when you spawn the Ghosthawk(Camo) variant in game, it's whatever texture you created instead of the stock green? Is that even possible? Also thanks a ton for the templates, man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greywolf907 20 Posted January 25, 2016 Hey Pete was wondering if you know step by step how to create the height map layer in some of your templates? I am using Photoshop but should be about the same as Gimp I just am not sure how to make that layer so that I can use it over other color layers Etc to still show the detail of the uniform or whatever on other self made templates.

shomu1 193 Posted January 25, 2016 By overriding the original config entry which would result in a replacement config. Or, if you just want to have it in a particular mission, by scripting. So essentially when I'm setting up the config for the new PBO, refer the new texture to the old classname? I.e. in the case of the camo Ghosthawk have something like this: class Heli_Transport_01_base_F; class B_Heli_Transport_01_camo_F: Heli_Transport_01_base_F { _generalMacro = "B_Heli_Transport_01_F"; scope = 2; side = 1; faction = "BLU_F"; //Change to your faction displayName="UH-80 Ghosthawk (Black Camo)"; crew = "B_Helipilot_F"; hiddenSelections[]= {"camo1","camo2"}; hiddenSelectionsTextures[]= {"P:\UH80\Data\heli_transport_01_ext01_co.paa","P:\UH80\Data\heli_transport_01_ext02_co.paa"}; typicalCargo[] = {"B_Helipilot_F"}; availableForSupportTypes[] = {"Drop","Transport"}; }; Or am I missing something?
