My small mod changes Ghost characters to US Marine soldiers

mercenaries project

I've only done one weapon so far, but I will get around to doing the MR-C, the MK48, and the XM8 as well.

so here we go

The scarred SCAR:

I thought the original scar texture was too dark and off color so I've reduced it to a gentle tan color and added some scratches onto it just to make it look less "perfect" I've also changed the EGLM to black, simply for a little contrast

ATACS Gear:

I'll keep updating with new skins as of when.

i wanted to see how it faired so i grabbed my template. added it in (albeit rather scruffily) and i am waiting for the .DDS to save on my memory stick ready for a data transfer on to the gaming PC.

here's the camo in photoshop:

it looks like a promising camo to me, i'll edit with screenshots up ASAP

in the meantime, how good do you think it will be?

oh btw it has been polished off since that SS

some bits have been left out, still trying to find a way of tackling those.

so!

it doesn't look like much but you can add a camo on now without worrying about the multicam getting in the way on the larger areas while still having the wrinkles.

it may be out of sync, i can't test it over here so, sorry

now you can (hopefully) use this as guidelines or to overlay a new camo onto it without too much faffing around, you'll still need some basic knowhow of what to erase from the camo and whatnot but overall it's an improvement over using the stock skin as a template...

this is what you get with the stock DDS when applying a desert camo on the overlay blending:

and this is what you get on my template with the same camo and the same blending.

like i said, it still needs work (and i'll update when i've finished said work) but that's what you get for now, if someone could make sure it isn't out of sync, that would be great. thanks

with any hope this should revive the skinning side of GRAW? doubtful, but it's there if you ever want or need it.

it's in DDS format, hopefully you should have an idea of how to open it

i think i may do the helmet next.

anyway, enough of my babbling, enjoy!

hope it's useful and not out of sync.

saves you going all the way to the bottom to find it.

hey guys, i thought, about half an hour ago, i might try and make a GRAW skin...

yeah at the moment as you can tell the texture isn't seamless, i'm working on finding a seamless texture for it.

the helmet texture hasn't changed from the original and the multicam layer is still present underneath.

basically, i need someone to extract the file below and put it into your local>english folder and then test it in GRAW for me as i can't ATM due to my OS not being compatible (even on wine)

so if you could could you test it and post some screenshots up along with some what to do next's if it's not too much to ask

thanks

you might have to change the scripts of the characters to match the skins, if they are the skins i am thinking of.

my Gaming PC(s) are currently down, one for repair and one for updates (as ever ) and my laptop doesnt have the processing power to play GRAW on it and photoshop isnt working so i can't test the skin via that or PDN.

if you are wondering how i got these off a downed PC, it was hiding in my laptop in a backup folder, i thought i had backed one of the skins up

so if you could shove those in the local english folder and give us a screenshot of the outcome if any?

thanks if you can do that little task for me, much appreciated, last time i checked my PC wasnt virus ridden so you should be okay

this type of camo will do, maybe simple stripes though not blobs, the simpler for you the better, or you could just leave the whole outfits black but that's basically the jist of it.

thanks if you can.

it's either that or you can tell me how to get the paint.net dds plugin to work properly

i'll get some screenies now.

there are interface changes too, only minor ones. like when it's game over it says: oh well done, idiot! instead of the typical GAME OVER

and on loading some mission breifings are different.

the new names have been scripted into the Xcom too so they are as follows

BROWN= Bryant, a 'lucky' U.S marine gunner U.S marine model file.

ALLEN= Stanton, a ghost working alongside you, ghost 'delta' model

KIRKLAND= ACID, an experimental soldier who no one knows the name of so he is known as codename ACID. ghost 'delta' model file

YOU= anyone who is capable of leading such a team, so you can go ahead and change the name tag if you want, i doubt its an issue as most of you will be in first person view.

the only problems i have experienced are i cant change the debriefing texts so it still mitchell kirkland allen and brown

and the AI cam still shows it too and the video's are still saying 'mitchell', if you can find out how to get rid of the videos great.

the SCAR L sights are opaque but that may be an issue with my PC.

it doesnt happen with other guns using the same scope.

also ACID's facial scars a symetrical but it isnt a MAJOR issue it looks kinda cool.

in the briefing texts i never state the name mitchell anywhere so you are an anonymous fighter who has hacked mitchell's communications, so consider yourself a bad good guy.

if you can help out with the permission thing great.

so close yet so far

heres the pics

sorry about the "burke" thing i went nuts on the scripting

as you can see the textures are glassy and messed up, simple instructions on how to use the NVIDIA photoshop CS2 plugin and how to save them could solve my issue, thanking you very much in advance for help.

My question is simply this firstly how do I change what headgear each individual character is wearing from the options that are available in brettzies pack ( boonie hat , skullcap , ballcap , mich2001 )?

After 5 months of trying to work out how to do this and numerous "google" and forum searches I have not been able to find any information on how to do it , and so with a plea of "will somebody please help me ! I havent much hair left on my head after pulling most of mine out after countless failed attempts and I dont wanna be bald !!!!! ", I await any help /advice anybody can give me .

Many thanks in advance !

much obliged

oh stupid me forgot the question.

what do i need to do or have to edit the shoulder patches of the characters in GRAW?

again much obliged

Admin edit for content. Do not try and bypass the swear filter by using symbols

just having a little fun soon the gunners will be carlos and the pilots will be kirkland and brown oh and the other character next to me is an aguila 7 member

what else should i do to the enemies this time

i feel like making them total and utter wimps

thanks for getting rid of the quote john i was acting a little dumb a few moments back

Is it possible to switch views as shown in the 3rd person view demo video?

Thanks

Gender: female maybe if you can put some hair into it somewhere if hair can be done can you make it light brown it would be great.

hieght: same as the others maybe a little smaller.

name tag: Burke of course (you don't have to do that, but it would be great if it was there). it's not Jennifer Burke btw its Alex Burke hence the brown hair not reddish blonde. based on one of my best buddies. we just call her lexi

the equipment can be the same as the rest she is a ghost after all.

i just need a girl in the team somewhere uhh oh use Kirkland as a template if you can he's the one being replaced or it could be Allen oh bloomin heck i forgot which one. it's the rifleman i know that much i keep getting those two mixed up.

anyhow if you can do it, great if you cant, i'll have to see if i can find a way around these "corrupt files"

if you do decide to do it,

email the files to

nibbles412@hotmail.com or do it which ever way you feel comfortable

can anyone help i am used to modding gr1 for my own home use not GRAW so if any on can help i will be very grateful

1. How do you add more team mates like DerRelient did?

EDIT

I found a picture of what I want:

I have a question: When a member of your ghost squad see's an enemy, they are marked as a red diamond. When the player see's an enemy, the enemy is not marked witha diamond. Is there a way to allow the player to identify the enemy with a red diamond marker like the xbox 360 version?

Thanks in Advance,
