About this mod
Minor edits to the WW2Art.sga and WW2Data.sga files to address some very minor visual inconsistencies and an edit to the team colors to make them more visually appealing. Also an optional version that completely removes team color decals from all vehicles.
- Permissions and credits
This small mod is set of minor tweaks to the vanilla visuals of Company of Heroes, mainly inconsistent UI elements or just little things that I thought looked better, and a tweak to team colors.
Things that were changed:
-Terror Doctrine banner now portrays the King Tiger. The King Tiger call-in ability is actually a King Tiger icon rather than the old Tiger Ace as well.
-Rangers now have a proper Thompson SMG icon rather than the StG 44 icon for the rare event that they take major casualties and they lose their bazooka icon.
-Swapped the Panzer Elite Jagdpanther call-in icon with a better looking icon that appeared to be unused in-game but existed in the files.
-Changed the Panzer Elite Henschel Hs 129 attack ability icon.
-Minor tweaks to the icon and portraits of the Panzer Elite Tank Buster and Assault Grenadier units.
-Improvements to various vehicle UI icons, mostly ToV units, to make them more consistent with the quality of other vehicle UI icons.
Optional:
-All team color markings removed from all factions vehicles. Structures are unchanged (This includes the British command trucks, which are considered structures) because I was unfortunately unable to find a complete and non-buggy way of removing them from structures.
Install Guide:
-Navigate to your Company of Heroes main folder>WW2>Archives
-Place the modded WW2Art.sga and WW2Data.sga in the Archives folder and replace the vanilla versions (Recommended that you make backups of the vanilla files first)
The team color changes have swapped out the rather ugly light blue for a darker shade that looks better across the board. The red team color was swapped as well for a slightly darker shade, but the difference is fairly negligible. The yellow color for allies has also been changed to try and achieve the same style of a more muted and darker shade that I believe the blue and red have. If the 'Show Player Color' option is turned on, the team colors will remain mostly identical to vanilla versions.
This mod is primarily for anyone that enjoys the vanilla unit skins but dislikes the above mentioned visual inconsistencies or the vanilla team color shades. I do not know for sure if this will have any issues with online play.
The team color removal mod was made by the user 'Lethal Dosage' on the now defunct RelicNews forum, the files that remove the vehicle decals in this mod are just a repackaged part of that mod. The Terror Doctrine banner and Thompson SMG icon are not my own work and to my knowledge are already implemented in many existing skinpacks for Company of Heroes, I do not know their original sources. Everything else is swap-outs of the base game files.
