Late War M43 Textures

Download Here

Package includes:
German
M43 Style German Tunics of both SS and Heer variety.
Oak B Pattern SS 'Tarnjacke'
Dark Gray German Helmet and M43 Caps.
Oak B Pattern Helmet Covers and M43 Caps.
Appropriately renamed classes (Gruppenführer -> Zugführer; Stoßtruppe -> Sturmgrenadier; Sturmpioniere -> Sturmpionier)

Russian
M43 Style Soviet Uniform; includes breast pockets which are actually more fit for NCO versions of the tunic rather than enlisted, but I'll be keeping them nonetheless.
M43 Style Soviet Greatcoats, dark brown wool.
Includes green Soviet helmets, NCO caps, and brown wool Ushankas.

Alpha layers used to remove excess equipment such as leftover German fieldgear on the greatcoats as well as misc. equipment on the standard tunics. Some slight graphical errors may occur, nothing game-breaking though. (This feature was broken by the blood alpha overlay caused by explosions, resulting in transparent corpses)

Too lazy for screenshots, they'll come later.

EDIT: It should be noted that this release is NOT compatible with the current build of Kriegstadt (Beta 2) and is meant as a release to community mappers/developers to use in future projects. Create backups of existing files if you intend to play Kriegstadt Beta 2 in the near future.

Thanks EH!

[dasKaRmA]

thanks!

But you have a spelling error in here.
its called Sturmpioniere and Sturmpionier

[SchutzeSepp]

great!

gonna get them on pariser and see how it looks.
edit: when i wanted to place them in my system folder i saw the files have the same name as the previous skin mod, and the filesize is not the same. is this gonna give problems if i replace the old files with these new ones?

[EvilHobo]

Only if you play Kriegstadt Beta 2. These are the Beta 3 / Final skins.

[SchutzeSepp]

the problem is that the old skin pack is also used on the next pariserplatz version. and its not anymore in my hands. isnt this gonna give version mismatch errors to all those who have ever played kriegstadt?

btw, i just noticed the russian greatcoat soldiers become transparent when they die of an explosion hehe?

edit: i just joined a server playing kriegstadt while having the new skins installed, and i gave me a mismatch error and i couldn't connect. i think you need to rename the new files to a new name, otherwise anybody who has ever played kriegstadt wont be able to connect to a server playing beta3, not to mention pariserplatz

[EvilHobo]

Really? Uh oh, hmm. Didn't test that.

[SchutzeSepp]

yup i noticed by accident when a friendly bot killed me with a satchel, the i started nading all the greatcoats and it happened to them also.

btw,have you noticed my edit above? we posted at the same time

[EvilHobo]

Okay, the issue is an alpha layer one...

I'll work on it...

[EvilHobo]

Link/Package updated.
I'm not happy with it, because the Russian infantry still wear those idiotic sashes and the Russian Greatcoat infantry still carry all of their German field gear.

This is, however, as good as its going to get.

[rossmum]

Isn't there a way to remove the excess stuff? Surely someone would be willing to tweak the models themselves...?

I mean, if you can get me the models in any format 3DS Max will open, I'll remove the excess fill in the holes. I can't UVW map for crap, though.

[SchutzeSepp]

i think those models are protected and property of TW, and you cant just edit them, you will need to redo all the animations etc... its more easy to start from zero then

[rossmum]

Ask TW. I'm not sure how they feel about that sort of thing but I know that Valve really don't care so long as you give credit, with any luck TW will be similar.

Worth asking - and you're modifying their skins anyway, so I don't see much of a difference between the two.

[ozzman]

Sorry but which .ini file should I paste those informations ? You said "servers", but I didn't find any .ini file with this name
thx

You could do a new player model, obviously you need the model, but you'll also need to know how the rig is setup so you can duplicate it. One you have a duplicated rig (and skinned to your model), then you can just import the player model into a new ukx package and copy the properties of an existing model.. boom done.
You wouldn't have to actually redo all the anim.

Since this has been bumped I just want everyone to know that the final release of the skins will be made with the release of Kriegstadt Beta 4, and I've got another map in the works which will incorporate some of these skins .
