Title: Nightpostman's uniform mod
Post by: Aces on June 13, 2013, 06:39:28 PM
Hi chaps,

I've just downloaded this https://disk.yandex.com/public/?hash=QfmPVEj8urArERSSEj5r4LSUhPg228hHPJBxzsjnaFA%3D (https://disk.yandex.com/public/?hash=QfmPVEj8urArERSSEj5r4LSUhPg228hHPJBxzsjnaFA%3D) as it is dated 10th June, maybe Nightpostman has released his uniform mod and it's compat with march 13 c4.  ;D ;D

Been eagerly awaiting this, off to try it out.

Cheers

Aces

Nightpostman's uniform mod is very good.
I wish his work was incorporated into the game as standard.
He seems to be the only one who knows what a German helmet looks like.

1.1 gig!?  really?  Did he double the texture sizes?  Modern puter would have little issues with that BUT min system specs would go up.  Or did he just redo EVERYTHING.  Oh or used the dx5 compression on all textures.  That would do it fast.  Ya and his stuff is pretty cool indeed.

Folks, so does this work with the newest patch? I get a black screen right after mission finishes to load.

Update: Winter scenarios are working. Fall Blau does not.


Title: Re: Nightpostman's uniform mod
Post by: Dane49 on June 16, 2013, 01:46:19 AM
It's designed for the newest patch,
But I don't think it works with the campaigns,especially ones already in progress.
I think the mod is to be used for Quick Battles but I have been able to use it for small campaigns.


Title: Re: Nightpostman's uniform mod
Post by: Lemonade on June 16, 2013, 02:39:37 AM
Other (winter) campaigns and quick battles work just fine with the mod. It's just the summer map that won't work for me. It crashes GTOS.

Hi chaps,

I fired up an ongoing campaign on the summer map using Nighpostman's mod and everything seemed to work just fine:

Thanks, Aces.
My list differs a lot from yours:
Code:
1. Skins Mod Ostfront Kharkov		0.02
2. Addon Operation Hooper 1.01
3. DLC High resolution textures #1 1.00
4. Addon Krasnaya Polyana 1943 1.01
5. Addon Blau 1942 1.09
6. Addon Sokolovo 1943 1.05
7. District Update 1.03
8. Game Update 4.04
I've noticed that you have Game Update v. 4.05. May I ask where did you get it from? I thought patches listed in the Updates and DLC for "Graviteam Tactics: Operation Star" thread were the most recent ones? March C4 and 5.81 c1?
Maybe that's what causing me problems?

Also, was there an update to high-res pack in the last few weeks? (1.00 -> 1.01)  :o


Title: Re: Nightpostman's uniform mod
Post by: Tanker on June 16, 2013, 03:13:42 PM
Here's where I get the patches.  It always is the latest I believe.

Believe gtos_cu_581c1_eng on the above link will get you to v4.05 (May release)

The Hi Res texture pack I have is gtos_hir_tex_01_mar13.gt2extension & had more units than the original release, shows v1.01 for me.


Title: Re: Nightpostman's uniform mod
Post by: Lemonade on June 16, 2013, 07:10:23 PM
The file name from the link is gtos_cu_581c1_eng.exe. What I have downloaded and installed several weeks ago is also gtos_cu_581c1_eng.exe. Could it be that two different updates are named the same?

Possibly.  2 ways of finding out:
  • run the current download & your previous file through a byte for byte comparison (with eg:- winmerge; http://winmerge.org/ (http://winmerge.org/))
This will show you if the 2 are identical in all respects & save you altering your install.
  • install the new download & see if it makes a difference.

My list is even worse  :P and I just updated it (for the 3rd time according to my downloads folder) via the link provided in this thread.
My "Game update" is at 4.05 but Hooper and the high-res pack are still at 1.00.  All the others seem to be on the right version but how can I update those two? Re-download from Gamersgate?..

To stay on topic - Thanks for bringing this to our attention! I am keen to try out this mod and am downloading now, however I'd like to get the game up to date too..
Additionally, where do we get the "blood mod"?

Thanks for the help, the high-res pack has a "latest version" link and it updated it to 1.01 but Hooper doesn't have a "latest version" link - Nevertheless I downloaded it again and it works.  ;D

Now I've got a good excuse to jump back into Op. Hooper!

For Blood Mod, link below:

Its also on the Graviteam Forum somewhere but even using their Search, I can't find it. Blood mod from Graviteam forum or Matrix Games are one and the same though.

A quick FYI -
Andrey posted a group of mod links here - http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3491104/Re_APOS_VAPOSM_sound_mod#Post3491104 (http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3491104/Re_APOS_VAPOSM_sound_mod#Post3491104)


My rough translation of the Bloodmod v1.00 RU readme by Edelveys -
Quote
Blood Mod v1.00 for Kharkov 1943 Achtung Panzer Operation Star

"The mod replaces the standard blood on the dead with more realistic blood"

Installing the mod:
1) Extract the archive with the mod.
2a) In the main menu of the game, click the version number of the game in the top right corner of the screen.
2b) In the window that appears, click on the "Install" button and select the file in the folder where desc.addpack unpacked mod.
3) Move the other mods to the top of the list of mods.
4) Click "Save and play." 

In the list of mods - Blood Mod v1.00 has to be at the end of the list


The hi-res texture pack is currently v1.04  (& needs to be at the top of the Updater install list)

Hello, Nightpostman needs any kind of russian and german WWII weapons, including weapons that already present in game (because it have bad quality), may without textures (he can made it self), he want replace all small arms.

First of all interesting Mosin and mauser 98 carbines

P.S. I think Nightpostman and FG_AGA could combine they works in this aspect...

Okay Fritz,

I have German, MG-42, GW-43, STG-44, Flare Pistol. HHL-3. 7xM-24 bundle, Jerry Can, MG34/43 ammo belt, MG-24/42 Ammo can and TornFU2 Radio and Battery Case and maybe a few others. I can convert from MAX to .x .mesh or whatever is required if he can let me know, I also have textures but Nightpostman is free to produce his own if he wishes.

Some of my stuff here:

Hi,
i have a problem with the uniform mod.
Infantry use the new uniform, but the markings of the vehicles
disappear.

(http://s14.directupload.net/images/140115/r7pex7ji.jpg) (http://www.directupload.net)

Game should be up to date, or?

I'm down with making a rifle or 2. 

Just say what he needs. And give me a few days.   :P


OH portfolio time.  LOL. 

this mornings work.  Mid poly stuff. 

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/545/ao1d.jpg

Last weeks work....

And like ACE said... textures as well or only mesh?  In game format of go2?  You know all those pesky details. 
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/43/c1g6.jpg

Just say what is needed.  Probably only have time for 1.  My plate is damned full right now with projects.  OOPS. 


But what is the triangle count?  I am guessing for rifle 1000 seems to be the new GTOS standard.  The old ones are like 500 and hmmm....well they are guns.

I'm probably the rain on your parade when I ask this question.  But does anyone  playing this game as a tank crew member actually pay much attention to the finer details of the infantry?  I know I don't examine the authenticity of the kit or the weapons that they carry.  When I encounter them, they are figures to be blasted to eternity and I don't pay much more attention to their appearance.

I'm not having a go at all the obviously loving work that's put into these things, but I am curious as to the motivation.  Is it for the enjoyment of creating a uniform or weapon mod?

I dunno about you, but some of my favorite battles in opstar have been pure inf vs inf

Tanks play a very small role in my Quick Battles.
I'm mainly an infantry vs infantry player myself.

I think a lot of the combat on the east front featured more infantry vs infantry than most people realize.
Outside of the Winter and Summer seasons most vehicles and tanks were battling and mired in the mud and the infantry were expected and tasked to shoulder the majority of the combat.

Tanks are cool and some of the largest tank battles were fought in this theatre,but I prefer to play the infantry battles.Mainly to reflect some of the more  mundane every day type combat that usually took place between major operations which usually didn't include many tanks or much historical attention either.

Ah, so all these uniform and weapons mods apply to GTOS?  I mistakenly thought they were for the two tank simulators.  Silly of me as they are in the GTOS section.  I can see the utility of them now.

Hi all,

I did these 3d models and textures for a mod for Steel Fury. I offered them as I thought there might be a few things of interest such as the flare pistol, gw-43 etc..

I too am mainly an Inf vs Inf with just a small selection of support vehicles type of lad. Not keen on mainly Tank vs Tank. Also not keen when Tanks become the invincible super unit against Infantry.
