Panzer 4H shield DDS file

[Richie]

For the life of me I can't find the dds file for the Panzer 4 H that contains the shield for the turret and the side skirts. Trying to locate them for a skin project. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It can be found in:

steam\steamapps\common\men of war assault squad\resource\texture\common\model\ and the .dds file is named "shieldspz4.dds".

Hope this helps,

Thanks Zeke, would have never looked there.

Many of the textures do lay in that location. If they can´t be found in the actual vehicle folder, always look in the texture\common\model folder. If they can´t be found there either, then something is very wrong...

Tracks textures are located inside texture\common\animation.

I am going to attempt (not sure when due to time) to try and redo some Panzer skins starting with King Tiger and Panzer 4 Ausf H. I have never liked the zimmerit on the panzer 4 and would like to redo that shield similar to the panzer 3 one, where those side doors can clearly be seen and place the Wehmacht Balkenkreuz on the shield itself like it should be. Would be nice if the Tank number could be placed on this shield also.

I agree - the zimmerit look awful on the Pz4H. Very poorly done. The tank number will be a tough nut to solve, since it is a 3D part and not a part of the skin. If you want to place the tank number on the turret shield, you will have to turn off the {volumeview "enumerator.ply"} (do this by placing a ";" in front of the line) in the .mdl file of the Pz4H, but making the turret number in the .dds skin, also mean that all pz4H will appear with the same tank number.

I have Pz4 Shield without zimmerit it better quality (the one which I released in better quality PZ4 skin with shield have zimmerit), buyt the problem is, that zimmerit still appears when you look from various angles in game, the same like my better quality Sdkfz251 halftrack skins with Wehmacht Balkenkreuz removed, but still apears from some angles . In MoW:AS skins library thre the screens shoving that. I don't know how to fix that, Zeke, maybe you know?

My only guess is that the bump and specular maps has some traces of these (zimmerit and/or balkankreuz) on them.

yeah its the normal/bump map and specular map doing that.
