Developer Blogs / Updated and new textures
« on: 20-07-2014, 00:07:03 »
From time to time we update our textures, create new camos or add new markings for new factions.
Some off those updates we wanna show in this thread.

Lately we altered the Stug IV texture and also added some new camos and a version without zimmerit.
That was needed, because the original texture was to bright compared with other German Vehicles.
For sure no original texture gets lost, we backup all our files, also the original psd files.




Some historical background on German camouflage:

In popular culture, most German tanks are shown painted in grey, which makes for great visual symbolism, since grey is the perfect colour for an oppressive, joyless, totalitarian enemy. You can also find grey (or panzergrau) Panzers on the FH2 map Mount Olympus and if you look closely you can see the grey paint under the sand camouflage on our Africa maps. In the beginning of 1943, together with the start of total war and the switch to a war production of military vehicles, the base colour applied to German tanks in the factory was switched to yellow (dunkelgelb).
The units on the frontlines received green (olivgrün) and brown (rotbraun) colours and were instructed to use these to camouflage their tanks to their liking. For winter warfare they were issued with water soluble whitewash. In fact, if you look closely at German vehicles on our Ardennes maps, you can make out the autumn yellow green brown camouflage under the whitewash.
In addition to these reskinned Stugs by Krätzer, Toddel made some great ambush style camouflage (Hinterhaltstarnung). This was a new colour scheme introduced at the end of 1944. It was decided that a standardized camouflage pattern should be applied in the factory, leading to these complex patterns.






You will be able to drive these vehicles soon(ish) in 1945 Eastern Germany, trying your best to delay the advancing Russians.

Modding / Question about adding Parts in Editor
« on: 25-08-2009, 05:08:01 »
Hoi,

I want to know: Can i add new Parts to Vehicles with the Editor, then the parts are in diferent .cons.

Example is it possible to add Machine Canons to a Bf109, without import the whole Model. Only adding a MK Model to the 109?

And how works this, if it works =D

Modding / [Model] Elefant/Ferdinand Tank [WiP]
« on: 10-07-2009, 05:07:22 »
I will give you a look at my second Model"s", on that i work atm.
So yeah there will be 3 Models, the first is the Ferdinant, the second the Elefant Tank and the third an Elefant Commando Tank.
Its the same Tank but after Kursk the Ferdinand was modified to the Elefant.
This WiP Render shows a Commando Elefant Tank, you can see this at the atenna.

I have to add some little things, but its okey to show it to you.
Atm 6800 Polygones <- checked with Polygone Counter Max 9 ;)
I will come back for News about this Tank then all 3 Models: Ferdinand, Elefant and Elefant Commando are finished. I will always use the German Names for the Vehicles, i hope its okey ;) I would never say King Tiger or something like this, cause for me it will always be a German Tank also Königs Tiger =D
But now i say good night, its 0500 in Germany =)






So all Models finished, next step is unwrap^^ Hehe Render looks like CoH Tank =D

Modding / [Custom Skin] Black Chevron
« on: 25-06-2009, 10:06:22 »
Hello,
this is the last Costum Skin i will do for the BF 109 E-7.
Why i do this Skin? The first Skin (Marseille) was the wrong Machine (F4).
The second skin (Priller) was the right machine but no "Trop".
This time its the right machine (E-7) and a "Trop".

The Black Chevron flown by Ludwig "Zirkus" Franzisket (l./JG 27).

« on: 05-06-2009, 16:06:03 »
Hey,
i try to make my first Costum Skin. The Yellow 14 ( Hans- Joachim Marseilles Bf109).

My first Mistake was that Marseille flown a Bf109 F4 and i think the FH2 Bf109 is a E Model.

But here is the first look in Game after 7 hours off work <- yeah 7 hours its my realy first skin and i need lots of time to read Tutorials etc.^^

It would be cool if u have Tipps for me or somethink like that x´D
