Ill resize all my textures down to 512 512 and see how they look, then ill release it again for a beta 2 model.

yes your texture is excessively and unnecessarily large. It’s also put together badly because the majority of it is just black.
I suggest you rebuild it by placing all the relevant pieces as close as possible as to minimize the black parts, then crop it and resize it again to something more manageable.

Just a side note, everyone here on the forums should be aware of: The usage of Nazi symbols, especially the swastika, is against the law in Germany, if its used in any other purpose than education. And a game isnt really education in the common sense.
This topic was discussed over and over in previous threads. So if you want to do the german community a favour, use some other symbol instead. Thanks.

Do you have any other symbols that can be used that isnt he wold logo?

(Ragnar_40k) #25

You could use a simple cross like it was used on (captured) vehicles. Maybe you can enhanced it with the Wolf-logo to make it look more officially.

A stylized version is used until now in the German Army:

I put together a new model with new textures, none of which show nazi signs or any thing like that, just photos and maps and some docs. (I hope there isnt any nazi signs that I dont know about on them!)

Here is the link to the download (paste the link into your browser, my host is a cheap arse): http://www.higginsmapper.741.com/higgins_docs_final.zip

Here are 2 images of the docs:


Also, I thought Id be nice and make a command map icon for use with them, its inside the zip folder in gfx.

does it use the standard red model? In any case, you should include the model, textures, red model and CM icon in the .zip. Good work.

I don’t want to be pedantic.
But the SS-runes are also forbidden in germany.

And to correct thegnat a little bit:
These signs are not forbidden when used in education or art.
Unfortunatelly computer games are no art in germany.

SS-runes? who were they, I thought the sign was just electric :frowning:

Here’s a image of symbols that are and aren’t forbidden in Germany:

Here’s a nice set of unit markings

Look in the vehicle insignia section

(Higgins) #32

So which are allowed? :stuck_out_tongue:

(thegnat) #33

Thanks nUllSkillz, I didn’t knew about the art exception until now.
Higgins, just use the Iron Cross. Thats what is used most times in video games to fit the german market.
Thanks for your time and effort to make it suitable for german mappers!

only the middle and right symbols in the last two rows are allowed in germany according to this table…
however, to be honest, I do not relate any of these allowed symbols to WW2… so maybe the luftwaffe cross or wolf logo is best choice :-/ … these germans are a pain in the ass :wink:

(Higgins) #35

I think ill leave my docs now as they are, and the germans will just have to log off while playing :slight_smile:

Any one got any ideas for me for new models they want making?

(Ragnar_40k) #36

According to splatterladder one third of all servers are located in Germany. They won’t run any maps with your docs when it contains permitted symbols. So I guess no map maker will use them.
