@Nekojima
Nah dont worry about the comments, and yeah i have a Discord but rarely use it to be honest, im under the same username (kyo21943) if you wanna message me there
Nekojima 25. maj 2024 kl. 11:28 
That is fair.
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 25. maj 2024 kl. 11:27 
Indeed, several of the caps the textures dont really matter anymore as the shape is defined through 3 pixels wide "lines", its more about removing the blurry blob placed over the insignias and making a square shape that "kinda looks like something".

Eh, tbf most of the uniforms dont really matter anyways as no one is really looking at them during gameplay at a scale where it would be noticeable, even in the roster menu.
Nekojima 25. maj 2024 kl. 11:27 
@Kyo21943 Do have a discord so I can send you a message easier lol. I feel bad cluttering the comment section also I might have a fix for the 3d??? maybe??
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 25. maj 2024 kl. 11:23 
@Nekojima
Yeah they are, if they are hard to see its because of the bump map files were created already censored, yet i haven't been able to replicate the bump maps (they never load correctly), so it comes to down to manually modifying them, also since the textures are now 512x512 they are much lower resolution.

And yeah, the LW Supply Officer is one of the units using a 3D model rather than a texture.
Nekojima 25. maj 2024 kl. 11:23 
I have to assume the downgrade in texture size made it harder to show any kind of noticeable change on things like the caps and belts.
Nekojima 25. maj 2024 kl. 11:18 
@Kyo21943 Hmm are the belt buckles modified? Also I assume the Supply Officer is one such case of a 3D element on the hat?
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 25. maj 2024 kl. 11:12 
25/05/24: Deleted legacy uniform files, uncensored new uniform and headgear files, tweaked uniform BP files causing black spots, mod halved in size from 1.65 GB.

Headgear BP files have not been modified because they keep loading as a black texture on my side regardless of DTX3 or DTX5 compression, also there is a Luftwaffe helmet and officer cap which use 3D models instead of textures (guess the devs gave up after realizing its not worth the time and remain as leftovers), i wasnt able to track the models and i'm unsure of when i can get around to locating and modifying them, apologies.
Nekojima 18. maj 2024 kl. 14:40 
Life happens at least it will be a bit easier to redo the mod essentially lol
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 18. maj 2024 kl. 9:10 
Alas i won't be able to push the update this week, i've been busy so far and it turns out i'll have family visiting *me* this weekend (lol).

The good news is that even though there's a significant increase on helmet texture variants and almost all uniform textures have been obsoleted, the update has consolidated the excessive amount of folders and files (ie: 20 folders with 5-15 textures for each "uniform" are now halved to just 40 in a single file path), plus their mapping format is also more consistent and efficient, so it is taking less time to make progress when i'm able to.

Additionally other files have been reduced in resolution, so both of these factors should significantly reduce the mod's file size.
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 9. maj 2024 kl. 14:20 
@Nekojima Nah i did try to match the compression and size of the vanilla textures, i saw a post by the devs mentioning the update was 26+ GBs because they had "restructured" the .pak files to be more optimized and take less space in future updates, mayhaps they lowered the texture resolutions?
Nekojima 9. maj 2024 kl. 14:12 
Perusing the files did you increase the texture size of the originals to 1024x1024? because on the m43 cap is now 512x512 vanilla I wonder if they lowered the pixels for performance. They also now have a burned version with a ebm file most interesting.
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 9. maj 2024 kl. 14:02 
@Nekojima Yeah i've noticed, before they censored them by placing a grey blob that matched the buckle texture, its odd and maybe a bit lazy but oh well, nobody looks at the models up-close anyways in normal gameplay.
Nekojima 8. maj 2024 kl. 20:48 
Also not sure if you’ve taken a look yet and I could be misremembering but they’ve changed how they censored the belt buckles now having a black dot in the middle which is odd to me
Nekojima 8. maj 2024 kl. 20:45 
I’ve only seen that for the Sleeveless units I believe but the uniforms are nice imo but glad to hear the news of the update for next week!
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 8. maj 2024 kl. 19:35 
Mod will likely be updated next week for the new uniforms/helmets, as i will be visiting family through this friday and weekend.
The new models also appear to be bugged and have twisted wrists, hopefully the devs fix that eventually.
Nekojima 10. feb. 2024 kl. 19:38 
I messed around with the files a while back and its tied to the machine gunner helmet just never found where to find his helmet at.
Nekojima 10. feb. 2024 kl. 19:36 
@Kyo21943 no worries at all lol it happens! Once this update drops we shall see what needs fixing etc and on the Helmet its not the biggest concern I just noticed it.
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 10. feb. 2024 kl. 19:29 
@Nekojima
Uh, i didn't get notified of your previous comment, weird and sorry for the late response.
And sure i may edit that later, if the new update doesn't address it since it seems units are getting worked on again, hopefully it doesn't break too much.
Nekojima 10. feb. 2024 kl. 16:02 
It would appear with this new human skin change there will be a lot broken by the update so this should be interesting lol
Nekojima 12. jan. 2024 kl. 19:55 
@Kyo21943
Hello once more While this doesn't fall under uncensoring I noticed on late war MG42 turret gunner has a 1939 insignia of the German shield on his helmet even those were removed after that year up to you if you deem it worth editing just thought I would let you know.
King Phrox 9. jan. 2024 kl. 3:50 
@Dr. Butters first of all never ever seen the obviously overdramatised reaction to censor that you described. Sounds more like you surround yourself with already unreasonable People to begin with. GoH is a game which in fact is Art, as every other video game. And for example in Germany, art, science and education are freed of any censor. Yet to name one of the many games like wolfenstein always have been censored, even changing Hitlers appereance, which completely takes away the immersion the game tries to sell. Just like that GoH tries to sell an immersive historical setting in which you take command of conflict armies during WW2. So personally i dont like any sensor concerning this, its not like im printing out flyers with insignias on and right motivated speeches. P.s.: Deine Observation war turbo scheiße // Good Mod, havent tried it:awkward:
Dr. Butters 3. jan. 2024 kl. 7:37 
the weirdest thing is when we censor stuff you guys don't like, no one gets upset or talks like the government is out to get them. but as soon as you touch the holy swastika we got legions of "not Nazis" creating rivers of tears and talking about the Illuminati.

Its like you don't don't like the symbol. that's just an observation for you,
ogniandemocritus 2. jan. 2024 kl. 9:24 
we won't let you shoot Nazis - because Nazism is bad
ogniandemocritus 2. jan. 2024 kl. 9:23 
this censorship has always seemed to me simply incredibly absurd.

we will not let you shoot at the Nazis who are marching under the swastika.

shoot at ordinary Germans who are walking under the Schwarzkreuz
HDC 10. dec. 2023 kl. 16:40 
sry,I want to send it to Original mod:Tokyoheart::crtgoofy:
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 10. dec. 2023 kl. 8:41 
@HDC
? The mod is updated to work with the current version.
HDC 10. dec. 2023 kl. 3:49 
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nekojima 9. dec. 2023 kl. 13:44 
you mean like the portraits and squad folders in interface folder right? So something like what Improved Ui did right?
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 9. dec. 2023 kl. 10:29 
@Old School Internet Warlord
Ah, i understand now, you're right, they are indeed quite small but i'll work on them.
Old School Internet Warlord 8. dec. 2023 kl. 21:44 
I didn`t explain well enough. I was talking about the icons for unit selection on the left screen side and also hovering over the unit. In case of the Fallschirmjäger it`s a diving down eagle, which should have a swastika in it`s claws.
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 8. dec. 2023 kl. 13:01 
08/12/23:
Edited portrait icons and campaign portraits, fixed portraits with unfinished goggles from vanilla.
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 8. dec. 2023 kl. 13:00 
@Old School Internet Warlord
Yeah they're very small, some are like 5x6 pixels across so there isn't really much to change, nonetheless i just edited those which seemed blurred out or obscured intentionally.

Also i did a bit of research and it seems the Fallschirmjager helmets are not censored? They apparently only feature the emblem on the left side, so it seems those are ok, the Luffwaffe caps were censored though.
Old School Internet Warlord 7. dec. 2023 kl. 9:29 
Yes I mean the icons form the roster on the left side of the screen. They`re small anyways. Maybe too small. Especially the officer`s icon. There`s already something beneath the eagle. Not sure if it would even be visible, if you`d change that
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 7. dec. 2023 kl. 8:30 
@Old School Internet Warlord
Ah, you mean the actual unit icons from the roster! Right?
If they're censored i'll definitely see what can i do, though i'm not at my PC right now!
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 7. dec. 2023 kl. 8:25 
@Old School Internet Warlord
What do you mean? The Fallschirmjager helmet is a bit shoddy but that's because the helmet texture is loaded as a circle, thus the emblem has to be drawn as a trapezoid, and it's an absolute chore to get it looking right.

Otherwise i'm not sure what are you referring to.
Old School Internet Warlord 7. dec. 2023 kl. 7:06 
Have you considered changing some of the unit icons? E.g. Fallschirmjäger and Panzer come to mind
Nekojima 6. dec. 2023 kl. 14:19 
@Kyo21943
Understandable it happens lol glad it’s been fixed thanks again for checking.
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 6. dec. 2023 kl. 10:42 
06/12/23:
Improved dynamic campaign map HQ icons.
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 6. dec. 2023 kl. 10:24 
06/12/23:
Fixed my boo boo with Pz-Lehr Pioneer skins, should *finally* be uncensored.
Uncensored Der Agler magazine on Saint-Lo Hills map loading screen.
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 6. dec. 2023 kl. 10:21 
@Nekojima
I actually missed them among all the "pioneer" skins on so many different folders, lol
Nekojima 6. dec. 2023 kl. 9:36 
@Kyo21943
Maybe they are pulling from the separate dlc3 folder?
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 6. dec. 2023 kl. 9:33 
@Old School Internet Warlord
Thanks! Just uncensored that, i'm trying to figure out why the Pz-Lehr Pioneers don't load the textures / what is their specific texture path now, will update after that.
Old School Internet Warlord 6. dec. 2023 kl. 1:23 
Found another one: In the loading screen of Saint-Lô (iIrc) "Der Adler" magazine has a censored icon.
Kyo21943  [ophavsmand] 5. dec. 2023 kl. 15:52 
@Nekojima
I see! I'll check it out when i have some free time
Nekojima 5. dec. 2023 kl. 9:36 
@Kyo21943

I didn’t notice until my last match and upon checking the units the Pioneer units for I think the Lehr??? Are still censored I’m not at my pc right now so I can’t get the exact name etc I apologize for that but I know it was late war and it’s for sure one of the Pioneers belts again I wonder if your edit didn’t save maybe?
