Question about retexturing the IG

[SkyCaptain37]

Hi IB, yeah I had a question, well... I cant figure out the texture tools, but i was wondering if the IG could be solid not camouflaged, theres many color schemes i use that dont cut it with the camouflage, id like to know if theres a way some one could do that or is it as big as a mod, or could somebody show me how to do it

Once I'm done I'll move this to the DoW Skinning forum, what with it being a skinning question

The texture tool is simple enough for editing WTPs - run it, click "Extract WTP", find the WTP, select the WTP (or WTPs), click "open", wait a second and then open in your favourite paint package that can open 32-bit TGA files. Once you've finished editing, go back to the texture tool, click "Compile WTP", find one of the images from the WTP (it should remember the folder if you don't close it down), select a file from the WTP, click "open", wait a second and you've got a modified WTP.

To make monotone Guard fatigues then all you'll need to do is cut the fatigue areas from the Secondary layer (and/or any other layer they might be on) and paste them on to the Primary layer (which is the main colour, I think).

If you don't have the base WTPs then check out the SGA Explorer and extract them from the WXP-Shared_Textures.sga file in the WXP folder.

If you can't do it yourself then stick it in the "Texture Requests" thread, or ask a few more questions about what you're having problems with

yeah i would, but i dont have permission to type in the texture thread... ive tried to in the past for some reason im not allowed...

It's because you're not a member of the "DoW Skinners" group, and so you can't start threads in there.

You (and other members) can post replies, though, hence the Read First - Forum rules and explainations announcement and Skinning Questions - Post here sticky.

yeah, im not getting this texture thing, so im making a request for any IG unit, except vehicles, that has camo to have none, it really help alot of my colour schemes out, thanks!

[IBBoard]

Okay, I've added it to the skin suggestions thread for you. It's now listed for anyone who wants to take it up.

[SkyCaptain37]

thanks, i hope some one does it seriously, i dont think im the only one that wants solid color schemes that are non camo, am i?

[SkyCaptain37]

actually... now that i think of it the vehicles with camouflage wouldnt fit in with the rest... so maybe no camo whatsoever on any IG unit... there

Request edited (and a matching message added to the end of the thread again)

I too would like to see mono-color Guardsmen.
