Suicide Commando Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 ps; Hello SC, you are always a great supporter. No need to thank me. The quality of your work speaks for itself, I just add mine into the mix too. As I've told you before MP Archie and Goose are two of my all time favorite skins.

Wildcat Posted June 3, 2003 Author Share Posted June 3, 2003 Wildcat, those skins are great! Will you have rolled-up sleeve versions of the Tiger-stripe? Since the camo effect fades, he does not roll up his sleeves Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruin Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Errrm, WildCat, that tigerstripe looks really good. But it looks like it's plastic. Is there a way you can reduce the glare on that so it looks more like cloth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suicide Commando Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 Two new screens up on Wildcat's site. One of a China Lake Grenade launcher that was tested duirng the 'Nam and one of a Ranger with new eye protection. http://mercenariesproject.tripod.co.jp/ Question for you wildcat. Are you going to make a new face for the SEAL with mis-matched camo? I think it'd look a lot better than the stock GR sniper face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'd look a lot better than the stock GR sniper face. I think some rifleman faces in IT look better. of course I can create new faces too. How about your opinion, SC ?

Suicide Commando Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 I think one of the best features in your mods are the custom faces you've made so I'd love to see a new one for that skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruin Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Uhhmn, I dunno if this is me being picky, but the American Flag is mirrored. I usually see it with the Stars on the left side, not the right. But I guess it can be personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsM_Prodigy Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Ruin's got a point there. but im sure its nothing that's too hard to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconSnake Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 The US flag can be reversed for wear on the right side as shown on the character above. The flag patch is correct. RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcinko Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Just use the marquee tool, cut it out, and create a new doc, and move it on over to the new doc, and flip it horizontally, taa daa! It should be flipped though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicide Commando Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 (edited) The 101st in Iraq has the patches on that way sooo RS is correct in that the patch on wildcats' skins is on....erm....correctly.

Whisper_44 Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Soldiers and Their Backward Flags By Brendan I. Koerner Updated Tuesday, March 18, 2003, at 3:46 PM PT Backward tradition Many sharp-eyed civilians have noted an apparent oddity on the uniform sleeves of American soldiers: backward flag patches. Why is Old Glory flipped around like that? Only the flag patches affixed to right shoulders of uniforms are reversed, so the blue field of stars faces forward. (Left shoulder patches aren't a problem, as the stars face forward without meddling.) The reversal was inspired by the age-old practice of carrying flags into battle. When fastened to a standard, the American flag's blue-and-white portion is always closest to the pole. A flag bearer rushing into the fray, then, would naturally lead with the stars. In fact, it would be virtually impossible to lead with the stripes—the flag would simply wilt and wrap around the pole, rather than waving triumphantly in the wind. For a soldier to lead with shoulder-borne stripes, then, might smack of cowardice and retreat, as if the toter were backpedaling away from the conflict. The official Army guidelines on the donning of flag patches add that the forward-facing stars give "the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward." So perhaps it's best to think of every soldier as a latter-day flag bearer, leading the headlong charge into battle. It should also be noted that military flag patches are often trimmed with gold borders. This is in imitation of the gold-fringed flag, also known as the U.S. military flag. According to an executive order signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1959, the gold-fringed flag (and, by extension, patch-sized replicas) are to be used exclusively by the armed forces. That order isn't always obeyed, however; many federal courtrooms now feature gold-fringed flags, despite the fact that they should only appear during courts-martial.

TheBlakeness (HotPants) Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 yo Wildcat, looking great. I have been working on a vietnam mod for some time now featuring SEALs. Unfortunately school has delayed the release of it quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruin Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Hey there stranger. Any idea has to how long your mod will take? As far as the patch, I'd reverse it just for asthetic reasons. It looks kina, odd. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlakeness (HotPants) Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 ruin, you speaking too me? If so the mod shouldnt take TOO much longer. Once this week is done I will really be able to kick its progress into overdrive. As for the american flag patch. It is always worn that way when on the right sleeve. Stars always before bars when going into battle. It dates back to civil war and the revolution when we used to actually carry the flag into battle.

ReconSnake Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 The way it was explained to me in Parris was that the blue field is to be closest to your heart. It is not required to be worn that way for civilians. RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruin Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 The shirt on the guy on the left is getting better. The rest though, manly the pants, still look plasticy to me. I'm not sure what's causing this. What kinda of layer mode are you using? Overlay? Multiply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat Posted June 24, 2003 Author Share Posted June 24, 2003 What kinda of layer mode are you using? Overlay? Multiply? I usually use overlay. This texture is difficult for me to modify but I enjoy it.
