WWII Skins

[JF00]

I'm tired to work on jet fighters since weeks then i'll try to make some skins for another era: WWII

I'll post here some screenshots and infos about my work in progress but you can ask specific reskin if you need it.

I would like to work on aircraft (my first choice) but i can try to reskin some tanks too.

A Spanish Stuka... excellent... I was going to do that one myself, but I've been on a "break" lately from skinning. I was also thinking of some Italian aircraft reskins (the Ba65 and SM79, as they were widely exported).

On the P-38... is there a working P-38 with two-engine FIGHTER animations?!?!? (Coyote made a 2-engine fighter animation, but the only P-38 I've seen with a working animation sucks, because it uses the bomber animation which stinks if the plane tries to intercept [as it bombs it's home base]).

I need a lot of skins for the Community Civ V [CCV] mod. Are you interested to do some? The first job would be to create a homogen unit set for Germany.

Ask me if you want any reskin from this war. I'd glad to make it

About P-38 i don't know (not tested in game yet) It's the model from this site then i guess it's the one with bad animation (i can't modify or create any model or animation ).

For sure !

Germany is my favorite Civ then.... let's go

Well, to my knowledge there are at least two P-38s on this forum... one has no animation at all, and the other uses the bomber animation... which in-turn is useless, because if the P-38 is used as a fighter/interceptor, the bomber animation will have the P-38 literally bombing it's own city every time it intercepts an enemy plane... the animation really sucks if you use the bomber animation for the P-38.

Until recently, there have been no two-engine fighter animations, but Coyote recently made one.

I asked Coyote if he could redo the P-38 to use it, but he said he was either too busy or it was too time-consuming a project. Unless someone sneaked a newly-animated P-38 that doesn't use the bomber animation, there's no useable P-38s for Civ4 available.

Another version of the feared Stuka: Italian

I created wings from scratch because i didn't find a decent picture.

That's very nice JF00... where's the download?!?!?

I don't want to create an entry in the database for each reskin (it could be flooded ), i prefer to upload a package with some of them.

Anyway i hope to ulpoad all stukas this week-end

Well you're violated thread rules by teasing us without including a download!

You know darn-well this forum only supports threads with new units in them... this is just teasing us all without a single download!

You can download the screenshots

Next time i won't post until all reskins will be finished (maybe for...months )

What you could do is upload the individual skins as attachments, and then when you feel you have made enough skins you can then upload the pack to the database.

Looks like Coyote finally honored my request on fixing the animation, as he's done so here.

Of course he just did it, and I didn't know he was fixing it... so at the time you started doing P-38 skins, there wasn't one with a proper animation... as long as your P-38 skin is based on Danrell's P-38, it should be good to go (is it? I wouldn't know because you haven't uploaded any of the skins! ).

I'll work on this new P-38 tomorrow (it's 9PM here) and i'll upload or attach each new skin to my posts from now

Don't tell me you did a skin for the P-38 that had no animation at all!

It seems to be... right

Anyway my work isn't useless because i can use a lot of my work on the new model (and i have made only one skin for this plane).

I can't test any unit in game when i'm working on these reskins because i can't install Civ at my office (but i can view animations with NifSkope and... honestly... i didn't do that with that P-38 )

 

[Wolfshanze]

It's possible they are basically one-in-the-same... I know for a fact there was a P-38 made that had no animation at all... and I know Danrell had one that was linked to the bomber animations (while it looked-good, as I said earlier the bomber animation SUCKS when used on a fighter, due to the interception issues). It's possible Danrell may have used the same earlier model (I don't remember if he did or not).... if that's the case, the same skin could be used on both (I'm not researching any of this, I'm just talking from memory, so it's possible I'm wrong here).

In any case, I'm so glad Coyote updated the P-38 with a proper animation... I'm FPKing my files right now to test it out!

Lovely more WW2 reskins!!!
Thank you for this one

i would say instead of making hundreads of types and variants for the same aircraft or something similar,someone create AT LAST some artillery units,which as you already know all we have NONE....

ha ha ha....

if i knew,i wouldnt ask....
