I tired to make it look like they still had them with edited normals etc...but unless i get a brand new model i cn't make em 100%

I work closely with the navy and airforce on a regular basis...the thinking behind their various camo choices was to "create an indentity" for their various services while also fostering a progressive look. So really, more so with the navy, it was a fashion choice. They want to rock up in port and for people to say "Hey it's the US Navy" just by looking at their uniforms. Having said that I also think they look like utter shite and I don't know of anyone in the Navy who likes them. However I guess you can understand their point. Other than the Marines and certain other Navy and Airforce units (who wear their own camo anyway) the regular Navy and Airforce units aren't in "combat" zone scenarios where concealment is a big factor so thats why they feel they can come up with some of their crazy stuff. Anyway hopefully this thread will get back on topic a little more. :)

You probably could...only one way to find out.

theres an option on the load up screen that says "profile" you could try looking in there for your profile...

looking hot as per :)

wow looks amazing!

what model is that exactly? I'll see if i can whip something up for you/

not bad...have you overlayed your camo pattern onto the existing texture or are you just painting over the top of it with 100% opacity? the pattern looks good but atm it's a little too erm vivid is the wrong word i mean you really need the grey scales to see the texture of the cloth underneath as it were. Other than that though like i said the pattern looks really good!

Didn't alter anything other than the texture :) so it was as easy as any other addon i've done.

Yeh i want to finish up a couple of projects I got going on. Be aware they were made quickly for my own use so when i do release them they will be pretty rough around the edges. I'll also make a vid of how to quickly grey scale BI textures and post it on youtube hopefully that will help. Although all that will take me a little while.

Yeh it did mate thanks a lot! Really got me through a tough patch there! owe you I've still gotta work on getting the normals fixed and some other things on the helmet because at the moment it all looks a bit odd but its coming together.

great job mate hopefully ill get my new units too you soon! keep up the great work

Little wip as im running late on getting these to you. Still working on some texture stuff and the normal maps but it should give you some idea:

this is taking longer than expected lol...so long as the wife doesn't kill me they should be out tonight but if not then tommorow evening US EST

as in grey scales?...i could release mine i guess if i tidy them up a bit 1st.

While I appreciate what this mod team did I have a feeling this thread is sliding further into a mud slinging arguement. Without trying to sound too demanding is there a reason why this is still open? I mean i understand that the moderators would like a free and open dialogue about what happened to this mod but at the same time all it is doing is creating conspiracy theories and allowing them to run riot. Anyway whatever happens best of luck to the mod team and i hope this get sorted out.

sweet we should be able to put together a nice WW1 dogfight with all this stuff. Now all we need is an SE5A

looks great who needs rise of flight eh?

The way i do it is a process I call grey scaling. Which is where i basically draw the texture again from scratch over the top of the existing on in grey and then overlay the camo pattern on top of it. It's a long laborious process. Usually 3-4 days just grey scaling but I used to making textures from scratch anyway. If you want some advice and some good tutorials to be pointed at just yell at me.

should have a hotfix out tommorow for these guys...will either be more retextured USMC guys or something else if i can figure that out either way. Should also have a key etc.

I second this i'd really like to know how to do this for BIS games...i have no idea and so far searches on the forums turned up a lot of stuff about islands and people asking complex questions but im an idiot so if anyone can point me to an idiots guide id give them a brownie. ive been told you can do them in elitness...how?

loving the screenies thanks guys!

Ah thats a config issue i think i can fix that... :) sorry for the confusion.

Oh i wasn't worried about anyone doing anything to my work, you have misunderstood me. I just felt the need to throw that in there to add some weight to the fact that it would help to get things resolved at an early stage rather than risking a "he said, she said" arguement closer to release.
