PsyckoSama Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'd like to see if someone could make it so we have the option of decoing the genemod troops in standard armor rather than that silly looking sleeveless look they have going. If anyone could make it or failing that, would someone please tell me how to do it myself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amineri Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 From what I can tell gene-mod troopers don't use armor decos to get the sleeveless look, but instead have a different model (or maybe just a different texture?). In EU each armor type had its own model. The model doesn't include weapon or head -- those are attachable objects. Armor decos are also attachable objects. I see 2 possible options here:1) Use TexMod to rework the genemod soldier model textures to at least give them sleeves or something2) Find the upk code that is switching the regular armor model for the genemod armor model and disable it Another question ... Is it more important to update the model in the Barracks view or in the tactical game -- it may be easier to adjust one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea behind this would be a general LOLNOPE! rejection of the silly sleveless look. If I know which upk it was I'd try my own hand at it, but I'm completely ignorant to the layout of the file structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endersblade Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I find it hilarious the sheer amount of complaints I'm finding about the Gene Mod armor. Granted, I too hate the crap out of it and wish to go back to normal looking armor. But good lord. Every forum I run across that talks about this game, tons of people are trying to figure out how to 'fix' it lol. I really don't understand why they felt the need to do that in the first place. It looks terrible, it looks impractical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks terrible, it looks impractical. It's also LAZY AS HELL. The only real difference between all the suits is the breastplate and the thruster units on Archangel armor I have a feeling that once this mod is made it'll be the most popular on the nexus. :p Edited November 15, 2013 by PsyckoSama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's one way to boost yourself to top modder, if you figure out how to do it :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Just an FYI: There is a simple INI edit to get the GMs to use basic armor, given here. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
