My texture mods!
Shout out to "had to censor my name again" for figuring out how to properly get texture mods working in the game. Below is a list of mods I've worked on, I currently have a few projects in various stages of development. Installing the mods isn't the most user friendly but hopefully the Devs will make it easier down the road. Be sure to check the thread every so often for new updates.

Future projects
"Schnuck camo" for the A7V
Historically correct camo for the flackpanzer.
New sound events? (e.g. male tanks with hotchkiss guns sounds, females with vickers gun sounds. A7V with maxims).
--------------
Hellfighter Raiders
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2960808419
This mod replaces the default French Raiders with the 369th Infantry Regiment (US), Harlem Hellfighters. They maintain the original French Raider equipment but now with US uniforms. As an added bonus, an optional unit card is included. Note, the unit card only replaces the card from the bottom carousel, not the one on the left.

--------------
1914 German Infantry
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2961596709
This mod replaces the default German infantry to make them look more like early war infantry. Most noticeable is the "fur" lined backpack and the "Pickelhaube" inspired helmet. Note, this is purely visual, this mod does not change the actual model.
--------------
French Raiders
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2966902573
For those looking for a less extensive change from the Hellfighters mod. This mod gives the raiders a camo helmet, long sleeves and a slight change to the puttees.
--------------
Flamethrower corpses
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2970214500
This just gives the flamethrowers a charred body appearance when they die. No other changes to the corpse texture.
--------------
1915-1916 French Artillery uniforms
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2972022759
This will give the French arty and mortar units late 1915, early 1916 uniforms. A time when they were still transitioning to the new, horizon blue uniforms.
--------------
US uniform overhaul
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2980690546
This mod will overhaul the US uniform to change it from the USMC color style to the US Army OD. It's barely noticeable but this also fixes the collars of the uniform as the existing uniform was basically a reskin of the British. This will affect the uniforms of the standard and elite infantry, MG's and all artillery units. As an added bonus, the light artillery unit has been given a camo.

A7V "Mephisto
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2961191304
This mod updates the default A7V texture to add "Mephisto" markings. Note, the model only uses one texture, so if you have more than one tank on the field, it will have the same markings.
--------------
Other Vehicles
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2963332129
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2963332477
A simple mod that gives some of the background vehicles (trucks, train boxcar) a different look. Nothing fancy other than a little eye candy.
--------------
Night bomber Gotha IV
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2964564749
This changes the existing camo on the Gotha to that of a night bomber.
--------------
Mk. IV Beutepanzer, v2
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2968166055
This updates the German betuzepanzer camos with updated markings and a new style camo and markings for the Mk IV female tank.
--------------
RNAS Sopwith Camel v.3
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2969590644
This will give the Camel a "Dazzle" look to it. The story goes that it belonged to an instructor with the Royal Naval Air Service in 1918.
--------------
Historical vanilla Mk. IV tanks
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2970281506
Using the original Mk. IV tank textures, this mod will give them historically* correct markings. Flypaper: #2341, F Company, F56. Jingle: #2830, B Company, J21.
*or about as close as historical as possible.
--------------
A7V "Prinz Oskar."
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2981923027
Using an unused A7V texture, I made a few changes to preserve it's original look while giving it a more historical look.
--------------
Mostly historical camo for the Mk. I tank
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2982565326
This mod will give the female tank a historically* correct marking. H.M.L.S "We're All In It". *or about as close as historical as possible.

German Flag swap
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2971080302
This replaces the Naval Jack with the National flag. While this mod will replace most of the German flags, there are a few that will still retain the cross. Editing the file that contained those flags seemed to break the UI in the game, therefore it's not included.
--------------
Undermine SFX
This sound effect replaces the sound effect heard when blowing up an underground mine beneath the trenches.
--------------
Hidden Arty Decals
This will make the reticle for outgoing and incoming heavy arty and mortar rounds invisible, thus increasing the difficulty. Please note, this affects the player and the AI.

Zeppelin airship over Gotha Bomber and pickelhaube helmets for German infantry in 1914
While a Zeppelin would be cool, we don't have the ability to import new models into the game yet. As for the latter, same thing but I'm working on "workaround" that's purely visual.

I went through the updated Meg file editor, and extracted the .ALO and .ALA files for the central powers hoping to be able to import them to blender and edit them with a plugin I found: https://github.com/Gaukler/Blender-ALAMO-Plugin for EAW, but It did not work, obviously there is about a 17 year gap between the games so I didn't expect it to work. I was thinking like a texture that resembles the pickelhaube that goes over the stahlhelm as a substitute for now, but really sucks, idk if the plugin I used will ever be updated or if someone will create new tools for us to import the ALO and ALA files, but atleast we can edit the textures...

I haven't really tried messing with the models, I'm no moddler but it's great to hear that at least someone tried! And yes, your post coincides with my new release, early war German infantry.
Yuithgf 2023 年 4 月 12 日 下午 6:40 
i'll say the picklehaube was most used without the spike, so you can actually get an okay-ish looking early german infantry without a new model

yup, idk if you've ever played verdun a game part of the "WW1 series" but they have evolving uniforms that visually represent a year in the war based on your squad level, but i think it was 1915 or 16 that had a pickelhaube without a spike and i was confused until i looked it up and yeah it would work really well, mods are going to go a long way into making enhancements in terms of historical accuracy or maybe somebody mods in textures from empire at war and makes the germans stormtroopers or something which would be pretty funny

Can someone link to some 1914-1915 French artillery uniforms? I have a plate that shows a few soldiers from 1914 - 1918 but it's the only one I have. When I search for arty uniforms I either get late war stuff or Napoleonic war uniforms. I'd like to get some additional references before I start working on some textures.

Definitely not an expert on the topic, but perhaps this: https://www.studio88.co.uk/acatalog/info_GT_MAR1.html ?

I remember hearing from Indy Neidel on The Great War youtube channel's video about french uniforms during ww1, that the french army entered the first world war with a severe shortage of modern uniforms -- and thus relied on old stockpiles of uniforms, some dating back to the franco-prussian war. So perhaps widening your search to include uniforms from that time period may be helpful.

Here is an example of a french artillery crew from the franco-prussian war: https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/224617100143337683/. Note the extreme similarities between the uniforms.

Here are some other images I found, with similarities to those illustrations above:

What software can be used to extract and insert file into .MEG. I tried MegEditor-1.4. It can extract the .MEG but the game cannot start after I inserted the edited file back into the .MEG

Please, please, please mod early British and Scottish...
It would make the game for me and, i believe, a lot of others.
