Vehicle Skins not working

Post by Ocelotl »

I am playing the Rising Sun Camp. and I captured a Braat Overvalwagen ac. The skins are not working on that vehicle. Is there a fix for this? I am not skilled at modding but I did have a look around the data files and found a unit.txt file among other things (I did not see any obvious changes I could make to rectify the situation). There must be a way to get the game to recognize the skins for that vehicle. If anyone knows how to fix this please tell me how.

Captured vehicles don't have skins available.

That's not true. I have a captured M3 Stuart and it takes camouflage skins

Interesting. I have never come across a captured vehicle that had skins working in either the Soviet or the Allied Trilogy.

Rising Sun Campaign.

Like I said I am not a modder but I do tinker with files make adjustments to most games I play. It seems the instructions that point (captured) units to use skins is dependent on the unit i.e. some have them some don't.

I am not quite sure what you are asking. So far I stated
1. its an M3 Stuart
2. its captured

Are you asking if the values are the same? If so yes they are.

Braat Overvalwagen is not accepting skins, because it does not have a skinmask file needed for it. This is not moddable.

Not all units in the game accept skins, only those of selected nations, and - as others said - captured units have been left out intentionally.

So crazy, you certainly do know of a captured unit with skins that work. I just told you the M3 Stuart. Also, you don't even own the Rising Sun Camp. so how could you possible be so sure? Its all very clearly spelled out above. My suggestion buy the Rising Sun campaign and find out for yourself else you'll forever doubt it, for what reason I do not know.

How bout you buy it yourself and find out? A reasonable person would accept something like this at face value. An unreasonable person would argue incessantly about the nuances of a game he does not even own like he has first hand knowledge.

If you are into that kind of hair-splitting:

Not all units in the game accept skins, only those of selected nations, and - as others said - captured units have been left out intentionally for the most part.

Happy now? :roll:
