SKIN CAMOUFLAGE !!! WOW

[calmhatchery]

I noticed that skin camouflage is working in Rising SUN and Morning Sun campaign and MARINES WOW!!!! great at least !!!!! I saw future specializatons "FIELD CAMOUFLAGE" so I belive that soon it will be also avialable in Blitzkrieg and another campaigns!!! awesome!!

You've been "campaigning" for this for a long time. Glad to see it happening for you, and for all of us.

[calmhatchery]

yes for a long time:). and Im happy . I remember when the first time this feature was made and It was worth it to wait again for this !!!

[calmhatchery]

but I remember that at the first time the skin camo textures looked better. I hope that it will be fixed in the future...now the skins are too grainy

[bru888]

Well, the possible good news is this: You discovered this on your own, correct? Or was it announced publicly? Because, if it was not announced yet, then it could be still a work in progress. So that would be what you are seeing, progress. Fingers crossed.

[calmhatchery]

Ok. Now I understand. That is still in progress! thank you for the answer bru888

Well, I am hoping that is the answer. I don't know for sure; I am only speculating.

I have not seen this myself "in action". The Japanese stuff looks pretty cool

When using camo, some hints:

The more the view gets zoomed out, the more details tend to "melt" into eachother, there's not much we can do about it. Also, some units are more suited for this than others. From experience, units with large, plane surfaces work often well with camo, units with lotsa smallish details work not so well (esp. when zoomed out).

[calmhatchery]

yes I understand. I see the same. the Japanese tanks looking good. more deatails and then the skin textures is lost on the details but, I belive that in future you wll find optimal method for this . this idea with camouflage is very good. You should not give up on that ...

So, the skins are just for the Japanese and Marines, no Wehrmacht yet?

[calmhatchery]

now the skins working with the Japanese and US Army.

Does changing Camouflage work for ALL units now?
As I recall some Japanese armor units would not change.

[calmhatchery]

unfortunely not ALL some of them. You have t ocheck

[Tempest555]

Okay-thanks.

Can I set my own camo for some japanes Vanilla units - possible two or three different ?

[calmhatchery]

yes can you set three different camo...

[SirkoGlaser]

Maybe you could open one of the default ones in GIMP and after resizing
lay your texture over the original image format but i dont know if the colours
will work - mostly depending on limitation of colours (bit) which can be
best changed with IrfanView.
