Skinning Question

[Chancellor]

Hey guys, I've discovered something really cool about EF and I was wondering how to implement this in my own skin pack.

It seems that when the Soviets get blown to bits, they retain their look in the body parts, where as the other factions get the default grenadier skin.  I was wondering how to get the Relic factions to retain their looks in the body parts too.  Here is what I mean:

The first picture is the standard default body part, and the second one is the Soviet body part.

Also is there a way to get my own skin pack working and compatible with EF online?  I tried asking Rizz but it didn't work when he did it for my pack.  This might be because my attribs are slightly modified to include a commander animation for the Tiger and Pershing, and instead of using the panzergrenadier skin, I use my own PE tanker skins.  My skins work 100% on standard Relic CoH online however, and none of the actual unit stats are changed; only the animations.

Is it that you just paste your custom files into the EF directory?  Sadly at the moment I can only enjoy my skins in EF when I watch replays, but when I actually play EF online I must switch back to Relic's skins (WW2Art.sga and AttribArchive.sga).

I didnt notice that before, wow.

Hi there, can you give me a link to your skin pack? Right now, I can't stand vCOH game skins (blue-grey Wehrmacht troops, seriously?) and can't figure out how to install the various skin mods to make them MP compatible and whatever. Rizz posted EF-compatible versions of some skin mods and they're much easier to install than the regular versions.
Perhaps PM Rizz or some other Dev and ask if he could make an EF-compatible version.

As mentioned, I contacted Rizz before, but he couldn't get my pack working.  The devs are probably busy with the translations right now anyways, so if I do decide to ask Rizz, it'll probably be after 1.20.

As for my skin pack, if you don't know how to install the other skin packs properly, then unfortunately it will be even harder to install mine, since (with the greatest respect to the other skin packs) its actually more complicated as it includes minor attrib modifications for things like the Tiger and Pershing commander.  Finally, my skin pack is private because it includes some modified work of other skinners, and under ethical principles I can't mass release it.  If you really still want my skin pack as opposed to the other already released ones, you can PM me.

And yea the Relic skins SUCK hard.  Snowman uniforms for the grenadiers are my biggest personal pet peeve.  Feldgrey coats FTW!
