Given your post in this thread and the big wave thread I guess you'd prefer it if everybody just shut up and didn't discuss or speculate about anything.

Kind of defeats the purpose of a discussion forum, doesn't it?

if you want to think that

I think the view of the uniform changing as medals or promotions are awraded is an excellent idea. Way better than just the box used in SH3. Perhaps the view of the uniform could wither be as some just posted, or a variety of a number of heads to create an avatar. Even possibly something to selctd a facial type, hair color, mustache, beard, etc.. THe First person shooters easily do this all the time these days. Some clever modder might even be able to allow you to take a snapsot of your own head, face and sort of photshop it onto your avatar.

Of course this could be combined with some film or generated clip of your avatar being awarded something or other, with appropriate martial music.

What you mean lack of help? The way I remember it quite a few people helped to search for the documents for you?

Check out http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...=131580&page=4 where I was seeking graphics assistance.

Getting the documents was fine, thanks mainly to you for your great high-resolution scans. It all fell apart at the document cleanup stage. I'm useless at graphics. LzZ was very helpful, but recognised his limitations. I asked a few of the "better known" graphic artists whether they could help clean up the files (mainly by PM), as well as in my thread, but didn't get too far. Not their fault of course - RL should override anything games related.

Anyway, you can see where I got up to in the thread linked above, as I pretty much posted SH3Cmdr-generated examples, warts and all, of each certificate.

Something like this perhaps?

I'm not great working with graphics, decent with photoshop, etc., but if you decide to do any work in this area for SH5, I have a LOT of source material to scan.

Anything Iron cross related, literally from its inception to post-war I've got covered; every grade imaginable including rare variants, presentation documents, award cases, etc...

Might as well put some of this stuff to use.

very nice !!!

Thanks.

Checkout the thread I linked above that shows where I got up to - it could effortlessly be ported over to SH5 (if needed). To that end, if you have full size scans of any awarded documents, that would be absolutely brilliant.

No problem. Will have a new scanner by the time the game's released, so we should end up with some very good material if we need it.

Be interesting to see how in depth they go on the awards, or if it's just kind of an after-thought. No doubt it'll be 'fill in the box' again...

lol dont say that, for what ive seen you guys can do it, if only they allow it and make it so.

coinbird · 11-01-09, 09:50 PM

swastika's cannot be sold in germany, so if they want to include that market they'd have to avoid showing any of that symbolism and just stick to iron crosses. It would be up to modders later to add such in if desired

JScones · 11-01-09, 10:48 PM

No different to SH3, I'd presume. Didn't take long for the swastica mods to appear.
