[12.6] Simply Grey Paint + Historical camouflage v.1

[Lutjens41]

Hey! I have some question. I found the texture files for the Minotaur by TheStarSlayer.
Please tell me - what is the prototype of this paint scheme, or is it some kind of fantasy)?

Unfortunately, I can’t ask the author, because he doesn’t go to the forum, and apparently doesn’t play the game.

    I think this is TheStarSlayer's imagining of a somewhat historical Minotaur camouflage. I doubt it's historical...especially in the era when Mino would have been build. Can I ask you something?... Can you share the files for this Minotaur skin with us? That would be great :)

I'll have to disappoint .. I apparently deleted this scheme and the archive after they also told me on reddit that the scheme has no historical roots, and I myself did not find anything ..

Just got home from work and checked everything. But the Minotaur skins are gone. There is only a camouflage file based on which you can restore this skin.

Try asking in the topic USNA_76. He also disappeared and is not currently modding, but there are probably people out there who might have TheStarSlayer skins.

Update of camouflages and flags for version 0.11.3.

 

Changed Snow camo for Queen Elizabeth: 1940-1941 Valiant scheme. Approximately in this form, he participated in the battle at Cape Matapan. This scheme is used in the same way as Type 2 camouflage.

  Hide contents

Changed Agincourt permanent camouflage: 1915 paint scheme.

  Hide contents

Added type 2 camouflage for Neptune: Glasgow scheme 1941-1942.

  Hide contents

Added type 2 camouflage for the Minotaur: Abdiel scheme 1941.

  Hide contents

Some UK Type 1 schemes have also been changed. Take the Minotaur as an example.

  Hide contents

The main paint scheme is the standard Admiralty scheme with a blue rectangle.

An alternative paint scheme is the two-tone scheme.

The process of change has not yet been completed. By now, most Tier 6-10 cruisers (with the exception of Edinburgh, as the type never used this paint scheme) and the King George V (which uses the less contrasting Duke of York paint scheme of December 1943) have received this feature.

  Hide contents

Added type 5 camouflage for the T-22: T-22 (or T-23) scheme 1943.

  Hide contents

Added type 1 camouflage for Adriatico: Quintino Sella scheme, summer 1942.
This is a little off plan as for type 1 I wanted to use red lettering, but I have some dilemma about type 5 camouflage for Adriatico (Saetta) and this camouflage. I'm not sure Saetta's scheme is good for Adriatico.

  Hide contents

 

Some small changes: color changes, and addition of previously added camouflages - mine or the company - as type 2 camouflages.

 

You can download the archive of camouflages and flags in 1 message of the topic.

 

Please note - I slightly changed the structure of the archive to avoid confusion when micro-updating the game. Now in the archive there is only the res_mods folder, which you place in the desired folder - a folder with a large number value at the address: World_of_Warships\bin\.

Be careful!

 

I hope everything will pass without bugs, crashes, and similar sad things.

 

Good luck to all!

 

P.S Of the errors, so far I have found only the wrong color of San Diego. Not so critical, since this ship is still on the test.
Also, I haven't worked on airplanes yet, so it's also chaos there. For the next patch, I'll pick a suitable color for them.

[Lutjens41]

It seems that the time until the next patch will have to be spent not on ship camouflages, but on sorting out aircraft colors.
I don’t really understand why it was worth making good skins with relatively historical coloring and camouflage spots first, and then painting over all this with camouflage.

[Lutjens41]

 

A small mod that rolls back some of the changes in patch 0.11.3.

 

In patch 0.11.3, the function of displaying camouflage for ship aircraft was added. It doesn't look that good even with the historical ship camouflage mod. I'm even scared to think how it all looks in the colors and patterns of the original client)

 

I made a small archive that changes the mg-textures of ALL aircraft at the time of the patch. With this mod, aircraft will not be painted in camouflage.

 

Perhaps later, after running and testing (I only have some aircraft carriers of level 4-6), I will add a mod to 1 topic post or create a separate topic, since I have some experience with aircraft.

 

 

Download!

 

 

 

Forgot. Installing the mod: Place the contents of the mod (content folder) in the res_mods folder at World_of_Warships\bin\5450485\res_mods.
I hope all be fine.

I am stoping modding in  this game. Moderator deleted my thread because I did not have it ready by Sunday.

The same time he keeps mods from 2017.

That is hypocricy.

I don't think it's worth talking emotionally about modding cessations, especially since you've already talked about them.

Deleting a topic is not such a terrible thing - it will be restored.  In addition, there are different modifications - for example, many skins, camouflages with standard colors do not require changes and updates.

 

P.S. Moreover, the topic was simply transferred to the archive. 

[Anthoniusii]

I agree. Numbers on ships , Hunt for Bismarck camo do not require any update simply copy paste.. I noted that in my instalation quide but seams it was not enough.

bout archives. How can i bring back something from archves when i can not see it?

Я согласен. Номера на кораблях, камуфляж Hunt for Bismarck не требует обновления, просто копипаст.

про архивы. Как я могу вернуть что-то из архивов, если я этого не вижу?

 

Do you not see this thread? If you don't see it, it's weird.
Chat with a moderator. I'm sure he will help you.

Check the question with the moderator and do not make hasty conclusions. I hope everything will end well.

[Anthoniusii]

I posted you mod link to how we can keep the planes historical camo in the ships.

Can you write and example.

What i tried:

1. Creating a simple color tile addding black alpha channel (that suposed to make the tile invisible) DID NOT WORK
2. Found the files where the planes .dds textures are like the ships and added folder on my res_mod file like i do with the ships and wrote the path entry to camouflages XML  DID NOT WORK
3. Moved the planes dds textures to filder /comon/camuflages and added to prtevius path "tile_plane_ xxxxx" DID NOT WORK.

Can you enlight us with a example?

You complicate it) I also tried to work with the Camouflage.xml file at first, but then I realized that it was futile and just changed the colors of all the mg-textures of the aircraft to the desired shade, which disables the display of camouflage.  Everything is described in the description of the mod, the mod works properly, it has been checked not only by me, but also by other users.

Your mod includes camos and other things.

Just tell me what to do.

Give a visual exaple if posiblle.

EDIT : I downloaded your mod about planes.

In world of tanks we took each camo and added an black ALPHA CHANELL that made the camo invisible and we could see our skins as i posted here:

That made our work easier....but in this game is rather more complicated.

EDIT: The link to the post of your planes mod was pinned . You deserve all the acnowlegment you can get !!

[Lutjens41]

Thanks for showing the mod @Anthoniusii.  I don't have enough fights to communicate outside the mods section (my main profile is Russian - I'm here to post mods).  On Reddit, it didn't really appeal to anyone.  There is nothing difficult here, if you do not look back at the experience of tanks)

[Rolesz81]

Thank you for the aircraft mod Lutjens41! I love it!

I'm glad that it brings you positive emotions)
It will be necessary to think about placing at least a mod to disable aircraft camouflages in one of the modpacks. It has a simple structure, and the probability of an error there is probably reduced to zero (unlike ship camouflages)).

[Rolesz81]

This mini mod should be a part of Aslain's mod pack in the future! I'm sume  that many people will use it. I don't even understand why WG made this change in the game.

[Rolesz81]

I have checked the mod after a long time, and I really wanna say that this is excellet!! Only 2 things I'm missing:  The Richelieu texture ( attached ) and a simple grey Atago permanent texture. ( I just can't understand that green camo when all other Japanese ships are grey, which is historical ) 

Anyway the mod is really great! I see a whole lot of work you did! Keep it up!

Thanks again! This Richelieu scheme is in the modification - I fixed the standard camouflage (which was symmetrical in the vanilla version of the game) even before creating this modification.

The coloring of Atago is the historical camouflage of the Takao sistership made by comrade Tanz. As you noticed in the game, most Japanese ships are gray - so I'm trying to dilute this grayness by maintaining, correcting, and adding those camouflages that were on Japanese ships in reality. I would keep the coloring of Hyūga and Ise for example, but it seems to me that they are a little wrong, and there is no mood to celebrate them (there is a spotted striped camouflage), nor a sufficient number of photos (although I may include the Company version back).

P.S As an option - you can make the gray color Atago - alternative)

[Rolesz81]

Yes I saw that Richelieu has a modified camo on one side which is good, but on the other side, i see the game's original camo. Can you please make both sides the same? I prefer your version :) 

About the Atago: I did not know that the green camo is historical, so it's ok!

Update 0.10.4.

I figured out a bit with the battlecruisers of France: now type 2 camouflage is Admiralty, while type 5 camouflage and permanent camouflage are a two-tone paint scheme similar to the post-war Jean Bart. Toulon remained unchanged - a one-color scheme of the Company.

  Hide contents

Added type 5 camouflage for Z-31 - scheme Z-37 of 1943.

  Hide contents

Type 5 camouflage for Wakeful has been added - the color scheme for the Australian destroyer Voyager. 1942.

  Hide contents

Added type 2 camouflage for Lightning - Martin 1942 (colours may change in the future, as nothing is clear about them).

  Hide contents

Added camouflage type 5 for Bellerophon - the color scheme of the battleship Superb, 1914-1915.

  Hide contents

Also added a couple of type 2 camouflages for Bellerophon and Orion - pre-war paint schemes with pipe stamps for Superb and Orion.

Finally: I found an interesting photo of St. Louis, so I filed a simple but beautiful scheme for Helena. Given that there are already type 2 and 5 camouflages, type 1 camouflage has been added in the form of MS5 of St. Louis June 1941.

  Hide contents

 

There is also the addition of already existing camouflages of mine or the Company to fill in the gaps, minor editing of other camouflages, etc., etc.

 

*Download here!* or in 1 message of the topic.

 

Good luck! I hope everything will be without crashes and bugs.

 

P.S The flags will probably be tomorrow.

[Lutjens41]

Updated the mod for flags and moved the mod for disabling aircraft camouflage to 1 post of the topic.

 

I didn’t update anything in the aircraft mod, since there are no new aircraft yet (unless, of course, I missed something).
