Check out Davinci's uniform mod. I still don't know exactly how he does it (even though he showed me how) but I just haven't had the time to really absorb it yet.. :)

Hopefully he can chime in and explain the process.

Look in the SDK manual in the section (3.1.21) describing the unitglobal.csv file in the logistics folder. I suggest also looking at the overall description of how the individual files go into the appearance on screen, this is section 3.2.9.

Well – this is sort of an in-complete answer due to the fact that you didn’t supply enough information about exactly what you are doing…..such as…..

Open Play (i.e…Sand-Box Thing)?
Scenarios?
Default Uniforms Only?
TC2M + Default Uniforms?

Basically, it works something like this…..

You have a file that is called Unitglobal.csv – that is located in the SDK .

You would move this file into a Mod Folder – you have probably already done this step!

The default Grey – uniform is USPR_CSA_Inf_01 .

The default Brown – uniform is USPR_CSA_Inf_02 .

So – the only thing that you are doing is over-writing the last numbers to 01

Example – I’m changing the uniform ( 11, and the 09 ) to the default ( 01 ) – so that the grey uniform will show up more than the other ones.

UGLB_CSA_Inf_3,1,,,1.5,1.5,USPR_CSA_Inf_11_Private,USPR_CSA_Inf_09_Private,USPR_CSA_Inf_01_Private,USPR_CSA_Inf_02_Private,

Example – same line only edited to show more GREY uniforms.
UGLB_CSA_Inf_3,1,,,1.5,1.5,USPR_CSA_Inf_01_Private,USPR_CSA_Inf_01_Private,USPR_CSA_Inf_01_Private,USPR_CSA_Inf_02_Private,

Now – this will only change the uniforms for the Inf_3 – To find out which units are using the Inf_3 – you must search the OOB file.

You Do Not – want all of your files exactly the same, due to the fact that this will make all of your Regiments look the same.

Note – Do Not Use Copy and Paste with these lines – they are incomplete – and only to be used as an example.

Post back – if this is unclear!

Davinci what I want to see is from your mod all the grey units as the base of regiments from tcm2 and SOW then smatter in the other units here and there is it possible to do this?
Also I use your Blue and gray mod crashes game every time I have turned all other mods of including toolbar mod and rebbugler mod and it still does it!

OK, I have a question for you – since the Uniform Mod – doesn’t seem to work for you, and you want the units to appear more Grey than the other color’s.

Question – how are you at modding?

If I – just send you two uniforms with the TC2M \ Blanket, and Grey – can you add this into your game ?

Example Picture – the TC2M \ Blanket – does have sort of a grey look!
