Rework Texture Hair to allow more colors & Add the ability to issue them for partisans & Saboteurs

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

• Yes
• No

not quite the priority, i’ll be the first one to admit.

but it kinda bothers me that we have stuff sitting in the editor and doesn’t get utilized.

long story short, it would be great to upgrade the hair textures with the black and white ones, in order to rework them, and accommodate the " camouflage_override " tag. and issue hairs as long it makes sense ( Squad wise )

but with this suggestion i’m trying to tackle two points:

• bring stuff that is unused from the editor into the base game
• include hairs in the customization
• allow modders ( and developers ) to change color to offer more variations

perhaps not many knows, but, currently, there is a single squad that has hairs in the entire game
and it’s on the german side: the event MG39R squad:

… unless hairs are yet another scrapped idea and only locked behind the mg39 squad given as an afterthought.

but,

Main suggestion:

as usual, not a priority. though, something that could be beneficial for the next generation of modders.
or, eventually be reused for the game as partially suggested.

1. Allow to edit it’s color through camouflage override

for the following hairs:

hair_01_ger_summer_item - hair_02_ger_summer_item - hair_01_ussr_summer_item - hair_02_ussr_summer_item - hair_01_us_summer_item - hair_02_us_summer_item

Visual reference

and by implementing the camouflage_override texture / system, it would allow
allowing to change the color of hairs naturally and offer more variations:
( hastily done through photoshop )

this is substantially better as it would allow to color items through templates rather than having to create multiple textures individually increasing the overall size of the game.

a win win for everyone.

2. add said hair to the Partisan & saboteur customization of all nations

( squad_fr_partisan_2_event_1 - squad_aus_partisan_2 - squad_ger_partisan_2 - squad_ger_partisan_2_premium_1 - squad_jap_partisan_2 - squad_ussr_partisan_2 - squad_ussr_partisan_2_premium_1 - And the suppressed stg 44 which i’m missing it’s name )

and the new saboteur squads ( considering it’s a safe guess that we won’t be seeing any more saboteurs squads, it shouldn’ be hard to find the 4 squads. though, i do not have the names )

much like in the promotional art:

and that is all.

( Considerations, while i understand some hair clips or aren’t properly proportionated, it’s not a new / strange concept within enlisted. beside, if a player like how it looks, he or she should be able to apply it and wear it for the battle barb— i mean, soldiers. )

and well, combinations are almost limitless given how many heads there are, and hairs.

[warfare_master]

ok, but are we able to have liebermuster colored hair

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

right .ugh…

how do i explain this.
so, the “color” system is called camouflage_override.

which it was initially used for coloring things, rather than apply camouflages.
this tag is used to both performs a recoloring or replace a camouflage with another. but in order to work, the base texture must be black and white. and in the camouflage instance, must come already with a camouflage.

you could, technically color the hair with camouflages.
but it requires additional work.

as right now, it only works with stuff that already has a camouflage, or the base texture is black and white.

needless to say, camouflages will not be applied to hair.
nor… should.

but funny thought.

[warfare_master]

…so it is possible

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

you’d need the developers to create two types of the same items.

one with a camouflage, and the other just in scale gray / black and white.

so that with the first one, you could tweak them and have splittertarn hairs or… whatever your curiosity leads you experimenting with.

( very specific. but you cannot apply camouflages on items that don’t start with a camo. colors on the other hand, can work even if the item comes with a camo )

Erica focuses on the aesthetics of the soldiers every day… well, that’s not the point. The point is, I don’t want every soldier to be bald without a helmet or hat, especially for spy sabotage teams and guerrillas.

[iso_seppo123]

I found this bug which allowed me too see my german guerilla without the fur hat. Now i really want to get soldiers without headgear

[glippotyl]

I think there’s a feature in the game that automatically gives soldiers hair if the game doesn’t find a hat on the soldier.
I saw soldiers with hair and a hat twice. It’s probably a random bug where the game doesn’t have time to load the soldier’s hat and gives automatic hair, but then the hat finally loads and we can see both hair and a hat.

I would like to point out that facial hair is absolutely awful. It looks like my soldiers have bugs on their faces. I miss times where facial hair was temporarily disabled. My soldiers looked good back then. Now they’re awful once again…
