a bit of context
greetings community. this suggestion is a continuation of my previous thread; Cosmetics Color Addition based on the present models ( Germany ) regarding a small project of mine. where with the editor, thanks to @Devenddar i found out that i could replace textures. and the intent is to provide an idea / inspiration for devs to add more colors. while provide codes of clothings for modders to use inside their mods.
but to keep things organized, i decided and wanted to split and not clutter one thread. so this is a dedicated thread for the commonwealth faction.
before we start,
Little Disclaimer:
this is not a priority. something for the future.
and,
i would like to remind, that what it’s being suggested does not have to be final. and i would like to apologies in advance if some textures lacks of details, shadows, rust and generally realistic detals and are not on par as developers quality textures. as all i did, was to apply already existing textures onto the cosmetic in question, but there is no way for me to edit the textures, add details and what not. due to the limitation of the editor it self. hence, that’s why some of these looks a bit plastic. but nevertheless it’s just to provide an idea and give once again inspiration to devs to actually implement more colors on already existing clothings.
2nd, disclaimer,
due to not having much to work on because generally british uniforms lacked of variety, i tried my best to come up with historical colors and Realistic colors.
meaning that, some of the camouflage are not historically accurate, but close enough to be actually realistic.
something that the devs them selves have started doing.
for example;
the new cheese camo on the paratroopers:
so, not historical accurate, but close enough to it’s real life counter parts.
which it’s a pattern i started using as well as it creates variations and allows to have more cosmetics.
the main goal of my suggestions.
so for example, some uniforms or helmets might not HA, but close enough to be realistic or make actual sense.
so do not worries, there won’t be any pink camouflages.
pinky swear…
ok that was bad. but you get what i mean. ( i hope )
last thing for modders, codes will be at the bottom. and the code usually follows Left from right.
with that out of the way
Main Suggestion
this suggestion aims to explore, suggest and deliver to developers differen’t type of colors based on already existing cosmetic ( so less work for devs ) and, modders can feel free to use these cosmetics in their mod.
