Modding Infantry Skins

[IckyATLAS]

I was trying to see if it will be possible to modify the infantry skins so as to make some German and Soviet uniforms.

The infantry folder can be found in one of the  VehiclesX .gtp files that you can open with unGTP (yes at last I was able to make this work)

When the infantry folder is opened to my surprise there was no Texture folder with the .dds files as for other vehicles. Just .MGM and .COL files. I am stuck here. Any idea what type of files are these?

Hi Icky

these are the model files (.MGM) and text files with data for proximity and damage data (.COL) that control some of the aspects of the model movement and collision with other items etc.
The textures for the infantry are located in:
IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\graphics\textures\common

they are .dds files. theres two textures for most items a low resolution file and a high resolution texture. they have the same name but the Low-res version has an ! at the start of the name.

regards Rob.

Nope. There is no Common folder in IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\graphics\textures

I checked with hidden folders but no, no common folder.

Is my release different or maybe I should do a clean reinstall of the sim.

It's been a while but pretty sure it is in one of the three graphics gtp files. So graphics1.gtp etc.

 

Probably ungtp all 3 as often one ungtp creates a folder and adds a few things and a later ungtp adds to it. Anyway, the common folder definitely is there within a gtp file somewhere.

I think those textures are in Characters.gtp, /armbit 01,02,03 and amusa 01.

there definitely there, you just need to ungroup the right gtp file as mentioned by Stonehous above.

I know as I have modded the uniform textures for the desert Mod.
