Tacbat Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think someone already did something like that. SeanPatrick I think it was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanPatrick Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yeah, tried modding the helmets...didn't go so well. Apparently they are a complete 3D model which doesn't use an alpha channel so I think it's beyond the scope of most users' ability. I was going to request that mod-able head gear be included in the future.As for the camo, I think just about anything is possible. Except maybe removing the equipment belt altogether. That will just have to be re-textured as well.But I'm no expert, that's just from my experience. Maybe someone else knows better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Colossus Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Making a black uniform is easy- the helmets however draw from a library of shapes, none of which is a straw hat- it sounds like you're going for Viet Cong, a helmet with leaves is the best you're going to get.

Grenny Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Is this what the MN BG is going to face? Nah, where would be the fun in that(with all the gucci kit(M1A1/Leo2A5 etc etc) a VC type enemy would be no challenge in an open battle) They'll face a MechRgt(+) in the (enemy)Division's point of main effort 8-) But what uniform to give them...RUS/IRAN/China ...hmmm? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apocalypse 31 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 What about NVA? They wore helmets.Or French helmets for the Viet Cong? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Do they need helmets?Most of the Viet Minh / VC that the Australian Task Force encountered didn't wear distinctive head gear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngel Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 NVA would be easier 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i think removing the helmet is not an option with the models?I thought that giving it a "straw-like" texture, would be an option... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanPatrick Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yeah, I couldn't remove 'em either. No matter what I tried. And giving them a different texture made them look like helmets...with a different texture.Problem is there's no way to change the shape. Whatever you don't "paint" will end up white so you'll have a picture of a straw hat on a white helmet. Looks kinda dumb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
