There you go
http://forums.theguidestone.com/showthread.php?203947-Xaliburs-Tank-Skins-%C2%BB-Tiger-2sHPzAbt-505-added

Always found it too odd of a camo myself and not the true colours which were sand/red brown

I can't download it. Any file uploaded!  :'(
If you cannot download it, I'll upload it here some hours later :), when i go back home.

It's the same, no problem, I've played 2 years without skins.
It's just for try it because it seems cool.

I would also have a small guide to install it  :P :-[

PS It works with EF?

A quick question. I recently acquired a skin pack from Happycat. The instruction told me to make a backup of the file WW2Art.sga then paste his file into the CoH archives folder. After making a backup of the original should I delete it and then paste the new one in? This is my first time.
Thanks for anything you can contribute!

Yes, the new modified WW2Art.sga file should be in your Archives when you want the skins to take effect.  If you need to switch back to Relic skins, just put the backup file back in there.

It isn't easy to say.

I like the Realistic Skin Pack, which I have installed on CoH, but I have Hellfox's skinpack installed on EF, it's tied between those two.

RSP; I liked the Swastikas and I liked how Vehicle Crews / Commanders better looked the part, but I did not like the extreme overuse of camouflage on Wehrmacht. PE is excusable as they were modeled after the Waffen-SS, which did use Camo, but regular Wehrmacht Infantry and Crewmembers shouldn't have been.

From what I've seen in Hellfox's, I like it because it looks nice and haven't overdone the camo, or moved units around (Volks crewing nebels and such like RSP). I have only played 2 games with it though so far, so I haven't seen everything yet.


Overall I wish I could choose elements from each in order to make one amazing skinpack.

Due to lots of requests, here are more screenshots of my custom skinpack. Again, PM me for download link.  ;D

Wehrmacht and PE: Only PE soldiers use camo, Wehr officer is now a General, KCH are now Allgemeine SS wearing the famous black uniform produced by Hugo Boss, Pioneers have black uniform too and sniper now looks like König from Enemy at the Gates. Volks, Grenadiers and Storms have felgrau uniforms while PE grens, Luftwaffe ground forces, Tankbusters and Falls wear different camo patterns.
Panthers, Pumas, Halftracks, Tigers, Hetzers, Jagdpanthers, Panzer IVs, Stugs, Tankbusters and Falls have randomly generated skins.
 


Americans: Infantrymen, weapon crews and Shermans have randomly generated skins



Brits: Stuarts and Shermans have randomly generated skins

I believe the armband only went over the left arm.


Also I wish there was some way to see all of the skins rather than play multiple games with multiple factions to see some of them. Also wish I could pick and choose from several different packs, now that would make the ultimate skinpack.

Would be so much simpler.

How does it randomely generate? Is it randomely chosen in the beginning of the game or when its created? When I called in a tiger, I got the same dark green camo everytime. I kept driving it into at guns to see if it would change.

At Seeme:
Most CoH skins use some weird mirroring in the arms so they have 2 armbands, others have 2 eagle emblems

At Mr. Someguy:
I think you can see every skin from all factions in Worldbuilder or using Cheatmod for EF. You can also pick and choose from several different packs but it's a lot of work and trial & error.

At TacticalNuke:
They are ramdomly generated whenever you call the unit so it's possible to see all the different Tigers in a single match with enough luck. Also, Panthers ramdomly have the makeshift tree branches.

How did you give the Tigers commanders with only the WW2Art.sga file? 

Same with certain vehicle crews; how did you do it with only the WW2Art?  I had to edit their animators in attrib/ebps in order to change the PE vehicle crew  to stop reading from the Pgrenadier.abp for example.

Ah you can?

I've tried that but the skins didn't show up and I don't know how to get EF to work.
