Cosmetics Color Addition based on the present models ( Germany )

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

A bit of Context

greetings community and developers.

with today’s suggestion, i would like to start a series of threads where i suggest to introduce new variants of already existing cosmetics with different textures and colors that are present in the game as well in order to cover and be ready for the upcoming Merge.

as the merge will allow players to play on winter, summer and desert map.

problem is, there are alot of missing iconic and generic outfits for all seasons.

therefore, this thread aims to give suggestions and ideas to add the missing components for each environment. plus add others that are missing in order to give plenty of choices later on when the customization will be enhanced.

without further ado, let’s start with germany.
( I will cover the other factions too, but not with this thread. as i want to keep things organized, and it would be kinda overwhelming in only one post. not to mention i do not have much time. so i’ll go one faction at a time)

germany is perhaps the most advance in terms of cosmetics, but misses alot of components that do not match with pants or helmets. generally, it lacks of winter uniforms and many other components that i will address.

Main Suggestion

as previously hinted, the main suggestion will be to add more pieces with different camouflages and/or add different colors. from hats and helmets, to tunics and pants.

here are all camouflage legend of what we currently have in the game:

ALL camouflages List and in game references

and with this knowledge, here is a little legend of how i structured my requests:

---

Exact Name of the component ( from the editor )

• [ In Game Object Photo/s ]
• List of Needed colors / variants ( Made Through Photoshop )

Real Life & Colored Photos

Actual Real Life Photos and Colored Photos to give the idea

• Reasons and info

---

How And Why ?

well, i’m not gonna expect all the changes from the get go. i understand the implications. and certainly, not something for the next update. but, something that i would love to see over time.

i sticked with what we have and add / include camouflages that are present from certain pieces, and apply them on a majority ( or slighlty bigger ) selection of cosmetics based on their uses and variety.

therefore, definitely not a priority. but i’m sure alot of the community would apreciate.
( perhaps an expansion of one of my most successful concept idea : Soldier's Cosmetic Concept Idea ( Enhance it by expanding it ) )

with enough wall of text in the way, let’s start:

helmet_01_ger_cloth_winter_item ( Cloth Helmet )

The other variant

Additional Colors that i would like to see and suggest

Brown

Dark Green

Gray

Light Green

Oak 1

Oak2

Pea Dot

Stumpftarnmuster

a favorite of mine ( and perhaps, the only actual photoshop photos that looks good ) but, it’s a shame that the only variant available are the snow one and erma premium variant.
therefore, it would be cool to get more variants.
ideal for summer and autumn maps.
( If possible. it would be great to get winter versions too with the bandana / balaclava )

helmet_01_ger_tropic_item ( Also known as M43 Cap )

Splittmuster and Mask

Invented Camo ( i guess partially inspired to the Leibermuster )

and the tan version shown as picture.

Suggestion and List Of Colors Needed

the german army did had alot of hats, especially during the last period of the war. and luckely, we do have the correct model, but it only comes only in 3 variants.

so, the suggestions would be to create new varients for majority of the biomes.

( yes, it is present in the game, but it has some sort of grill in front. would be cool to have a non premium version. ( since it’s tied to the scoped g41 squad )

Brown and Green Camo From stalingrad pants ( just to allow some sort of matching for those pants )

as currently there’s only one type of medic helmet, it would be cool to be able to choose between others color of helmets ( as white would kinda stick out in normandy and just about anywhere that is not snowy / winter )

for simplification on my part, i only colored the first uniform. but it would be cool if in the game we could get both version colored as people prefer perhaps the slimmer version, over the wider. or vice versa. therefore let the players have more decisions.

because in my opinion, not many cosmetics have the same camo but different shape.

and more will come when i will have time.

regarding the community, if you have preferences and pictures to share with colors on certain equipment THAT is preset already, be free and post them.

any additions are always welcome.

next, will be the UK list.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

P.S.

i’m well aware some of them were discontinued when the war broke out, some others never saw the frontline, or weren’t widely used.

But, enlisted isn’t keen on these details, so i don’ see why not add them anyway.

more $$ for devs, more selection for those who wants it.

---

yes, some photoshop colors look awefull.

my apologies. but i’m not good with photoshop. nor had alot of time.

[Banfly]

Most of these cosmetic changes are great and I’ve especially enjoyed seeing the examples (also the ones from your other thread) and its historical counterparts.
I would however like to mantain or create limits to some of these uniforms, as in, the squads that are alllowed to use them. Would look strange to have a Grenadier squad using Luftwaffe Feld Division uniforms. Besides that I’m all for more customization and would like to have the Volksturm units more fleshed out as they’d be so much fun to use more if only there were more customization…
I’d love to see something similar done to the US and Soviet factions!

[Euthymia07]

Hey! Thanks for the very detailed suggestion, forwarded!

[VoyoMayPL]

I suggest to also add barrel carier as a backpack cluttery.

No questions.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

nah, thanks to you for reading and doing all the hard work

never had the actual possibility to thank you enough over past dms and past favors and hard work that you have done for this community.

you truly are a pillar of this community. don’t let up

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

there are no current models of that though

i just sticked with what’s already in the game, and suggest to apply textures on other models.

[CaptainSebekel]

Sniff Es ist so wunderschön.

I dont know why the devs dont do so much with the customization options as the modders (and heck partly the devs themself looking at SG) show that is achievable. I (and guess many other people) thought that they would create a goldmine with this but its seems like their laziness is greater than their hunger for our shekels.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

@CaptainSebekel

Sniff Es ist so wunderschön.

you smell pictures?

nice.

( perhaps a translation lost in the translator. yes. i am a despicable fake german that does not speak any of it despite being of 100% german blood. it is what it is )

@CaptainSebekel

I dont know why the devs dont do so much with the customization options as the modders (and heck partly the devs themself looking at SG) show that is achievable.

agreed

@CaptainSebekel

I (and guess many other people) thought that they would create a goldmine with this but its seems like their laziness is greater than their hunger for our shekels.

you know, this part is kinda what made and makes my pointless.

though, they gain somewhat my sympathy.

the cosmetic team did and keeps doing a great job. because most cosmetics that are in the editor are the proof of it.

it’s just that the other team ( perhaps a bit generalized since there are many teams ) don’t have alot of time to introduce them.

i’d be happy as starter to see them in the editor and use them for custom mods. and show the potential.

though … work is alot and time is just what it is

[CaptainSebekel]

@ErikaKalkbrenner

you smell pictures?

I use sniff for crying.

@ErikaKalkbrenner

it’s just that the other team ( perhaps a bit generalized since there are many teams ) don’t have alot of time to introduce them.

Well, wouldn’t be the first time they make something and don’t/ partly release it.

[gastanofrizzi]

@ErikaKalkbrenner

don’t have alot of time to introduce them.

I think, all the cosmetic are stored for future use:

• Premium and event squad
• event reward
• twitch drop
• future costumization update
• new squad type basic uniform
• future campaign/map new army uniform setup
  Ecc…

[OSTLAND]

Thank you Erika. But most of the examples are very goofy, even within the “framework of Enlisted cosmetic understanding”. Turning everything into a colorful circus would only make things worse. I think that would be a step back, not forward. Gray zeltbahn? Please no.

The only thing that should be done at the moment asap is to separate the individual parts of the equipment. In other words - shoes, pants, belts, canteens, y-straps, etc.

If it was possible to assemble the soldier in an orderly fashion one piece at a time (instead of just the bottom part, the top part, the helmet and that’s it), it would even be enough to build a sufficiently period-appropriate soldier model from the current already created in-game equipment.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

@OSTLAND

But most of the examples are very goofy, even within the “framework of Enlisted cosmetic understanding”

The same framework of enlisted that putted a gray trenchcoat with mp38 pouches and mg 13 bandolier?

Or… tan mg 13 bandoliar with k98 pouches on a winter white and green uniform?

Can’t tell if you are deliberately trying to say something genuine, or trying to upset me.

because i can tell you that even i can come up with better compositions.

and matter of fact, i did under my original post:Soldier's Cosmetic Concept Idea ( Enhance it by expanding it )

@OSTLAND

Turning everything into a colorful circus would only make things worse. I think that would be a step back, not forward.

perhaps i haven’t made my self clear, but the idea is to give and offer more color variations for more composition instead of less.

an example is and was the stalingrad german customization ( or any customization for that matter ) good effing luck trying to match camouflaged uniforms. or even just have pants matching the helmet.

you know. basic things.

@OSTLAND

Which yes, I hope it will happen.

something that i suggested before, and believe will only happen after the merge.

but still doesn’t justify the lack of majority colors.

which it’s why this suggestion exist. to give an idea and suggestion. not a final product.

@OSTLAND

Gray zeltbahn? Please no.

you take that back.

@ErikaKalkbrenner

even though there’s 0 proof that those were used, enlisted is not HA anyway.

therefore, as they them selves made up camouflages and what not, i don’t see what it would hurt more selection for more tastes and selections.

that’s, the main idea.

honestly, i’d be just happier with having a much light greenever version of some outfit, get the luftwaffe, and majority of the gray equipment for all campaigns and seasons ( outside the desert one )

but since we have also other camouflages ( but for not all pieces ) why not add those as well.

anyway, i’ll be making more examples. but due to lack of time always being away from my computer, it’s kinda a challenge.

[lCebsl]

Words cannot describe how fast I would kitt all soldiers out in drip like this

Great post

[OSTLAND]

@ErikaKalkbrenner

enlisted is not HA anyway

To be honest, I’m not against it. Because this train has long gone, and I don’t expect anything to change in the near future. But I also wouldn’t want it to be a certain trend that would only worsen the already existing situation. If you want it, I have nothing against it. I am free to express my opinion in an open thread. So in this case I have my own opinion.

The gray Reichswehr Zeltbahn was replaced by the Splitter Muster Model 31 at the start of the war by statute. Gray was used only by certain paramilitary organizations, and in small quantities exclusively by the Waffen - ss.
… but - if we are already playing by these rules, I want to see German Fallschirmjäger soldiers in Berlin with dot pattern smocks, which were produced in small quantities by the SS clothing factory at Dachau but none was ever issued in reality. But hey -

@ErikaKalkbrenner

enlisted isn’t keen on these details, so i don’ see why not add them anyway.

[Bing_Kuai]

where are these bamboos?

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

i took a screenshot quickly in the gavutu smaller island to the right side.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

more examples ( this time, made with the editor )

( and more will come perhaps, by the way, which faction you’d like more cosmetics color variants based on historical color you want me to do next ? )

[WhootiesNBlow]

These are your edited colorations or are these uniform variations actually in the game files? Would be great if these came with the merger

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

those are not in the base game.

i modified the colors by giving them other types of textures through entities.blk.

essentially, i took some camouflages from vehicles, some pieces of clothings and textures from various objects and applied those onto current outfit.

currently, there are no white / gray / camouflaged Zelthbans outside the 2 splinter variants. ( and pretty much nothing that is being shown is present outside the default colors on certain pieces )

which it’s why i’m suggesting to add more colorations for more enivorement.

as, explained above, not all clothing have varients for all seasons nor enough for one season either ( in some occasions ).

also, the reason why i’m asking/suggesting, it’s because i’d like those to be in the main game.

i could not bother and just use the editor/mods, but the problem with it, it’s that entities currently do not work online.

so people couldn’t really experience or see for them selves various outfit that i made unless they play mods in local.

( which would mean, one player only. and well, mods played alone it’s not the cup of tea of everyone. )
