where do i install this into?

Re: Skin Mods for Eastern Front!

Company of Heroes folder, on none-steam versions it will auto select.

Note that Hellfox's (I think it was Hellfox's anyway) will say "Are you sure you want to install it here" or something like that, just click "yes").

thanks alot cuz i picked the company of heroes folder (in steam), and then it said the folder did not exist and asked me if i wanted to create it. thought i might double check before i screw something up.

You might not be able to find any games before RO (relic online) is offline or very very slow.

Relic Online (the online/lobby system for CoH) is running very slow right now.

I haven't tried these in 1.01 patch, but they did work in 1.00 and should work in 1.01.

Ah might forgot to add, you must remove ALL skins packs that you have already installed before for vanillia, these adds the skin packs for EF, but require you to use a no skinpacks before installing.

Re: Skin Mods for Eastern Front!

January 25, 2010 at 7:16 PM

If you are not sure, I'd recommend a reinstall of CoH, but normally skinmods changes "WW2art.sga" and you SHOULD have a backup of it (hopefully...)

A friend of mine tried this skin pack: http://companyofheroes.filefront.com/file/Realistic_Skin_Pack;94887

I wanted to know if you guys are able to make it compatible with your mod, because it's a big skin pack and would bring a very realistic feeling in the game. :)

Re: Skin Mods for Eastern Front!

February 3, 2010 at 11:36 AM

I have no screens, but RSP 6.1 gives your game realistic skins, everywhere in the Wehrmacht and Panzer Elite are Swastika (where they should be). Original camo of the units, new camos for tanks, etc. Just realistic. (For all factions.)

Hi,

All his skins are compatible with TOV , Why dont you try extracting WW2art.sga to the EF folder and then installing the skins from RN forum .

Hi,

Try this ,

WARNING : Altering ww2Art.sga and relicCOH.module files doesn't prevent to play online, but prevents to make a game update so it's necessary to save the genuine files and put them back before any patching.

Phase one: Unpack used archives (http://modstudio.corsix.org/)
•Launch Corsix;
•Select load single sga archive
•Select "THQ\Company of Heroes\WW2\Archives\ww2Art.sga"
•On the left, top window, an "data" folder appears. Right click on it and select "extract all files in this folder", then "go!"
•Choose where to extract folder... Create a new folder where you have space enough, call it "myWW2" then 'OK'. You will see the extraction in progress. Then close Corsix. or \Program Files\THQ\Company Of Heroes\Eastern_Front\Data\art

Phase two: Insert Skin pack files in 'myWW2Art' or \Program Files\THQ\Company Of Heroes\Eastern_Front\Data\art

•Copy the files in ww2/Data/art from the mod .zip file
•Paste it in 'myWW2' \Program Files\THQ\Company Of Heroes\Eastern_Front\Data\art, the one you've created. You will be ask to overwrite existing files. You have to answer yes.

Phase three: repack ww2Art.sga

•Open Corsix again
•Open an sga archive (or open or create a mod)... this steps just allow you to access some options of Corsix.
•On the top left menu bar, select 'MOD', 'SGA Packer'
•In the Input directory, browse to 'myWW2' or \Program Files\THQ\Company Of Heroes\Eastern_Front\Data\art directory
•In the SGA to create browse to 'THQ\Company of Heroes\WW2\Archives\ww2Art.sga' then click 'Create'.
•This process might take few minutes.

Phase four : Modify relicCOH.module

•Edit the RelicCOH.module file with notepad and modify the following part that way:
Genuine file :
[attrib:common]
folder =
archive.01 = WW2\Archives\AttribArchive

Modified file :
[attrib:common]
folder =
archive.01 = WW2\Archives\Attrib***
archive.02 = WW2\Archives\AttribArchive

***the name of your mod . This is already present in the EF module file , So no changes required there, if you are using the EF folder.

Phase five: Play

Hi,

Check the abp file(open in notepad) of the models in concern and see what is different from the regular coh abp , That should sort out the issue .

Regards
funnyme

P.S.Think it might be because of the Tank riders abp , Also, Check widows thread .

Is there a way to have this skin pack in eastern front compatibility mode ? (the first post say we can ask for that)
http://rodolphe.quemerais.free.fr/cms/ (Historical skin mod)
(EDIT: Forget about that because it's really easy to merge skin packs with Eastern Front ;))

I also tried RSP skin pack, which is a very nice pack. However, the fact that team aren't color oriented anymore is very annoying.
- You can play with blue allies, so you cannot easily differenciate your units with the allies units.
- You can play against a black (or dark grey) enemy. This way is really hard to see how much health units still have.

These color behavior could be nice if the two mentionned colors were removed from the game !

More details?
More textures?
More Smoother edge?

Thanks Rizz, but are these for Soviets only and MP compatible?

France 1944 skinpack-MP compatible
http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=232157&page=1&pp=50

Download link:http://www.filefront.com/16606543/France1944.rar/

The skin pack features Gnigru's vehicles and my infantry skins

Also Isooth's skin pack which is very similar. The main advantage to this pack is that it comes as a single ART.sga file which you just use to swap with the original saving you all the trouble with skin installer.

Forgot about my custom skinpack. Since it's for personal use, PM me for download link (it's on .sga format). ;D

Wehrmacht and PE: Only PE soldiers use camo, Wehr officer is now a General, KCH are now Allgemeine SS wearing the famous black uniform produced by Hugo Boss, Pioneers have black uniform too and sniper now looks like König from Enemy at the Gates. Volks, Grenadiers and Storms have felgrau uniforms while PE grens, Luftwaffe ground forces, Tankbusters and Falls wear different camo patterns.
Panthers, Pumas, Halftracks, Tigers, Hetzers, Jagdpanthers, Panzer IVs, Stugs, Tankbusters and Falls have randomly generated skins.
