Title: Winter skins
Post by: lopolopez on October 21, 2011, 03:39:42 PM
Hello
Can be designed some kind of application, for the next patch, in order to choose winter skins in the skirmish menu? I think that it would be amazing fighting with winter camo tanks and white dressed snipers in a snow map.
(I can collaborate making the skins)

Intresting suggestion I would like the option to give my Army a different camo scheme before playing a map.

But I think that this has already been implemented in Original COH,  not being able to choose your camo but the camo goes with the map e.g. Winter Camo for Panzer Elite on Winter maps.

I just don't think its been done for the Soviets and the other factions though I may be wrong, so I would appreciate it if someone will correct me if I am.

sounds cool. i would also love camo skins, though i dont know if it would be accurate, at least, i dont think the red army had the funds to give their soldiers (other than snipers) camo, however on the other hand, this is a game. other than that, you would have to ask a dev to see if its possible, but i do know changing the skirmish menu would take a lot of work if there even willing to do it.
summary: very cool idea, but is it possible? ask a developer.

It is possible, just will require a lot of job and add it as reward "unit". It doesn't worth it IMO.

+1 quite pointless because it doesn't affect the balance and gameplay at all.

About skin, is there any skin manager program for CoH? If we have to it manually, then just download it and install ourselves.
What I means is do it a short way, like change the skin for tanks and HTs, the devs dont have to create a new faction here, just make skin files right? If not forget then about the skin, I better wait for the awesome Ostheer.

Ok, only a question: what files i need to extract in order to change the skins? And how can i do to change the wear of the soldiers? (for example set the conscripts with long coats and winter hats, like mortar squad)

a photoshop example of what i mean and an other of a sketch for the sniper's skin.

Worst Photoshop. Ever.

But I see your point, maybe once the devs are done with everything ;D
