A large scale skin project is something I always wanted to attmept. So with 2 weeks free time, I bring you the frist of several rev ups. Enter 501st will be the Vehicle and Unit skin replacement for the empire and the first of phase one to be completed. What do you think of our first skin so far?

Still adding in some higher resolution textures for the arms. I would say its shaping up rather nicely, thanks for the kind replys guys.

Edit: Brief Update, I think its safe to say the Scount Recon Trooper is Done.

Edit: Wrong pic, here is the current and final version of of him.

Its quite good. Very impressive!
My only suggestion (and this may be just me), but perhaps add a little more black "scrape marks" to the upper torso white armor piece, kinda like he bashed up againsted something hard and scraped up his armor.
Not to much like he just come out of a bomb shelter, but just a little more perhaps.

Currenetly Re-doing the scout trooper. I looked into the depths of the assest section to find these wonderful SWBF2 override textures by Tirpider. The retian what I liked about both games, also the more detialed skins from SWBF2 look even better with my little method of increasing quality.

While you gentlemen wait for the reskin of scouty, here is what I have done so far on the storm trooper.

(https://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/689/bandicam201305171522155.png)

I feel like he needs more, maybe some around his torso or an improved version of the waste belt thingy. Im consdering turning this into a side replacement mod. Funny story, this guy was going to look more like the 501st Storm Commander in TFU, but becuase of the geometry of the  BF1 armor, the line parts came out zig zagged.  Really did not want to switch to the BF2 model, so re-did the torso to match the color scheme with different patterns.

@Republic Commando, ill take that into to some consideration. I think tirpiders scout override texture will pop out more with those battle marks.

Hmm...     I think that would look better as white and black or black and red or white and red, doesnt look natural white and blue, maybe it's just me, but it looks very good anyways.

Awesome... This is exactly why I started the OTC project.

If you get to a point where you need the OTC treatment on a BF1 or 2 asset, let me know and I'll try to get it up as quick as I can.  (The project has been paused while I rebuild some old tools, but wont be complete till they are all done.)

Pretty sweet! I have another suggestion, on his hands and in-between joins, perhaps do something like this sort of texture: [spoiler](https://www.swbfgamers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmemberfiles.freewebs.com%2F47%2F32%2F59493247%2Fphotos%2Fundefined%2Ftex.jpg&hash=70fefc0fac125d36f17c52f4f818a389c796fe66)[/spoiler]. If you don't cover up the little white piece of armor on his hands, and DO cover up the rest of the black places on the model (joins) it looks pretty sweet.

I think I did that to the unit I'm working on, thats in my signature. I don't have very good screen shots to show though.. They all get blurred and don't look right.
edit- Yeah, you can hardly tell on mine, but it looks nice in-game and in MSH viewer!

Well here is more less the final design. There will be a white version and this Spec Ops version.

@Republic commando, thanks for the texture, but I dont think ill need it this time (Already created a custom mesh prior). Ill have to play with it with another skin though. :p

@Josh, Im going to keep the blue becuase lol then he wouldn't be 501st. Maybe in the future I will try some different colors, but blue is something my heart is set on. With the updated white version, the blue matches a lot better.

@tirpider Clone skins would be nice, when you get the time of course. Its going to take me weeks to finish other skins.

Title: Re: Elite Corps - A BF1 Skin Project
Post by: tirpider on May 18, 2013, 01:36:50 PM
heh, Clones.

I believe most (especially the bf2 ones) are already override compatible. I haven't inventoried them to be certain, though.

I'll crank the machine back up and go over them.  Some only have partial support and just need some nulls moved around to make it apply to the whole model.

One major caveat when working with the OTC units, if the original had cloth in bf2, then the OTC will either have a replacement or nothing in it's place. 

On the clones, this will result in hexed on Kama's (which other folks have done as well) and won't be much of an issue.  But for units with big capes or full skirts (lots of Jedi have cloth in weird places), I don't really have a replacement for those pieces yet.

Regardless, I don't alter the UV's so you could skin them as normal and it would look the same on the OTC variants.

:p Dont worry, getting off topic sometimes helps the thread get larger and more attention.

Any way here is my version of the dark trooper. I think in my sides mod he will be using a short burst rocket launcher. Seems more fitting than that shocking rifle thingy.

New Rebel Trooper. Added some Higher resolution Textures, trying to figure out a way to make him more intimidating. Im thinking a clean shave of his mustache.
Paint him red-ish, and increase the beard rather than decrease, and you've got Mario!

There has to be a way to give them a color theme like what you have done with the Imperials.

Sort of a mix between modern soldiers and clan skins to give them a connected/team look.

I've always felt the rebel sides were to varied in appearance. Like a pile of mercenaries.

I guess the developers were trying to make them look like a rag-tag bunch, the pure opposite of the uniformed military of the Empire.

Secondly, yes you did. Cut it out.

The Rebels have a whole bunch of uniforms... including my favourite:

That looks so awesome. I think it would require a bit of editing of the actual model, unfortunately.

Looks like it could be made up of Boba's body, Vanguard helmet, And custom head.

Slightly Updated. Probaly wouldn't tell the difference except that now his face is more defined and I added fabric textures to the clothing.

As far as a unified theme goes, ill consider it. I was playing around with the idea of having mixed species and a rag tag team of people. But then I also realized that the alderaan division and serveral other types of rebels have this more unified theme to them. looking back at my imperials, they deserve to fight someone who looks like they can be thier equals, so a unified theme might be best for now. This forest trooper will still find itself as a seperate asset though. Maybe if I have the time and patience, a renagade squadren type addon would be cool to.

Title: Re: Elite Corps - A BF1 Skin Project
Post by: Kit Fisto on May 20, 2013, 04:26:06 PM
I think it depends on what Rebel "Team" you are trying to re-create. It is obvious that the developers of SWBFI were trying to create an Episode V/VI type Rebel faction. As you can see from the stock skins. SWBFII didn't even look like the rebels from the movies to me, I didn't like those skins (except the Rebel Engineer, he doesn't look like a Rebel from the films but his skin/model is awesome).

So that leaves the question, what type of Rebel team/faction are you trying to create?

[spoiler]As always your skins are amazing me! ;)[/spoiler]
Title: Re: Elite Corps - A BF1 Skin Project
Post by: Snake on May 20, 2013, 04:46:47 PM
Maybe to add some variety you could change the face textures? I try to do that with most of my maps that involve rebels. (Alot of times I dont have the patience, though..)

I agree with Tirpider, I think you should try to use a color theme for the Rebels. I wouldn't use blue, though. You have already done an excellent job at making the Imperials blue-themed. There must be a way to make the Rebels look "uniform" without them all looking too much alike.


For the color theme, perhaps red? Or just a subtle color, like green?

This is coming along great, by the way! These skins look so professional! :tu:

That would be very interesting to see in-game :ohmy:

As for the trooper and vanguard, something isn't right about the vanguard (perhaps a blue-er color? idk.), the trooper is nice, but it would be better, IMO, if you had that a darker blue color as well. (Again, this may be just me  :shrug: )

Thank you gentlemen. If you happen to know if that Dark times model is compatible for BF1, I would use, though I know BF1 has a problem with skirts. Actually had to scrap the skin for this rebel (The face stays though). Reason being is that my camo was flawed and needed to redo the Rebel trooper skin almost completley (This took 3-4 hours). Now its at an editable-friendly state, which means I can pump out themes way faster. Ive been taking a look at Renagade squadren, thinking about doing thier rebel scheme for forest troopers.

also I love that skin in the video, fits BF1 much better. One Way I can achieve that is by redoing the pants and vest with tirpiders tantive VI trooper or doing a resking of the rebel fleet trooper in BF1. We will see how it goes :p

I don't believe the assets for Dark Times were released, so I couldn't comment on it's compatibility other than if it's just a reskinned bf2 rebel soldier, it should be fine.  (except for skirts, capes, any cloth ect.) 

I know some BF2 models use a different naming convention for collision meshes that can be easily made to conform to BF1 standards. (may not even be an issue)

The elite model was released last time I checked(Or a super similiar model). Just got to find it at gametoast, then maybe someone would be so nice to do that thingy you mentioned with convention.

I'd be happy to do any work on it if needed, but simularly to GT, I can't advocate an unmunged release of it without the author's consent...  That said, I'm digging around for it.

-edit
heh, you beat me to the thread...

-edit again
I'm assuming this is the guy we are hunting down: moddb pic (http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dark-times/images/dark-times-ii-new-hero-support3#imagebox)
BTW, that mod looks.. to be frank, like the best thing to happen to BF2.

 :tu: yuppers, thats the one. I could have sworn I had seen a very similiar model released as it has appeared in a few other mods (Just with a lighter tan scheme). you could probaly reinforce the request at gametoast, it might help us get an answer.

Newer Base ready I think. took me hours haha, but im happy with it. Now to make a proper urban one.

Renegade Squadren Varient. I really do prefer this over the forest one. Ill include both guys in the skin release, however the renegade trooper skin will be used for the mod. Aslo the red rebel thingy on his chest was removed in an updated version. :p



The rebels is going to take a while(Waiting for models and stuff, no rush but it will take maybe a few more weeks for these. Clone wars side getting close to done to). The empire side is pretty much done, I think its time for a first release. Requesting someone to put these skins in game.

Edit: someone already got me covered. Expect something in the next 2 weeks more or less. :p



A very special thanks to AQT and Tirpider for this model/converting for Bf1.

As you can see  the clothe textures have been updated with BF1 Texture overlays to retian the BF1 feel  but at the same time delivier a high quality skin. Little has been changed other than the red marking, BF1 Textures overlays and visor. Expect an orange variant(Which will probaly replace the trooper or assualt class.

hmm.....well something I was playing around was unit 33's color sheme for those rebels. A loveley green tone with brown battle hardened armor.

Updated 5-24-13

Rebel elite marksmen

She was an interesting challange. Big thanks to Republic commando for giving me the BF2 rebel sniper tga and model.(Though I did end up switching the body with something more high res, the face was a freaking tremendous help. Made her caucasian, so the skin matches.) Also tirpider thanks for this model.

That marksman is a tough one to work with for a lot of reasons. You did good.

I love how fast you are progressing and still doing good work.

One very important thing I need from you guys. I have put a poll for you gentlemen to vote on. Im having a hard time deciding what I should use as the heavy rebel trooper model. Majority of options are by Tirpider, however your free to suggest another one. Ill work on it on monday so the poll will be up for a couple of days for you guys to participate. Ill probaly be taking a mini vacation for the weekend so feel free to leave me a pm if you do have suggestions for anything regarding this mod. (Rebel side is nearing completion, soon a beta release will be ready, Exclusive to you gentlemen.

@ Tirpider Thank you, it took hours if not a days to perfect her haha. Just tinted her face a bit and made her jacket darker. Thanks agian Republic commando for some of the help, you earned yourself a good spot in the credits.

She is offically 56 percent hotter now. I think we can all appreciate that.

I like the Elite for a heavy. (super job on both variants, btw)

The Tantive IV and Fleet Trooper (while being my favorite alliance models,) are a good basis for another squad if skinned right.
Sort of a Spacer Militia kind of feel to them.

She is so beautiful! and She looks boss.
Jolly well good job, mate!

I was originally going to copy the face geometry onto it, but apparently it was hard attached.
Had to dice her all up, but I'm certainly glad it turned out :O

Again, very good job, it's sweet how fast you make progress! You're an inspiration to us all.

Also a small imperial demo coming along. New poll up, this coming Friday I will release a small imperial demo. This will include skins for the following "storm trooper, scout trooper and shock trooper". The poll options will be weather or not you want the white 501st skins or the shadow trooper ones.

I recently watched the trailer to this mod a while ago on your channel and I was wondering are people over there interested in SWBFI mods? How is this mod going anyway? I'm looking forward to see what you so with the clones. Phase I skins would be fun. There aren't enough of those...
Title: Re: Elite Corps - A BF1 Skin Project
Post by: 411Remnant on June 23, 2013, 11:50:49 PM
To be honest, most of the subscribers prefer BF2 mods, however BF1 has sparked some interest. I hear the sweden division of dice has been playing both games and dissecting them to see what made them successful.

On a more positive note update time!!! The Skins for the GCW are finshed. The clone wars is on its way to being done very soon. In the next beta, the weapons models will stay the same, but every unit model will have an updated skin.

The new Assualt Droid Skin(Dont worry if you voted for the tan droid, this is the only guy with this skin. Inspired by republic commando.)

@kit, its by nedarb 7, only for BF2 right now.


This mod is getting close to release. Before I do so heres a new poll.

Do you want the heroes to get a update as well?

Yes will take a tiny bit long to release.

No will make it a little faster for release but no changes to heroes.

I say the heroes should get a revamp, but that the revamp should be relevent to the other revamps. so make it similar to the sides they belong too

Here is a more bespin-ish luke skywalker. due to some time constraints luke and vader will be the only heroes getting an updated appearance .  The mod is pretty much done now, all that is needed is the credits file.

Also check out these new clone wars pics. Done by nedarb7 for this project.
