Realistic Uniforms Revival

---

This mod is not a copy of Jim(VG)'s mod.
It does not contain the same content.
I only use his title pictures as a tribute, because his mod was very inspiring and a great starting point.
(Unfortunately, he announced that he would stop working on it.)

I'm not a Nazi, I'm not even German, but I appreciate historical accuracy in content.
That's why, with this mod, I'm trying to create uniforms that match those historically worn by U-boat crews.
The result isn't perfect yet, as this mod only modifies textures and materials, not 3D models.
- 9 jackets modified
- 54 textures in total (Albedo,Normals,Smoothness,Occlusion,Metal,Parallax)
- Correct the 3D models and their UV maps
- Improve the deformation animations to avoid interpenetration of the 3D model.
- Extend enhancements to additional clothing assets
- The add of new 3D models and textures, with in-game choice selection functionality.
Here some differences between my mod and the Jim VG 2022 version or the vanilla game version:
- Adds or replaces missing or inverted normal_maps (including anchor reliefs on buttons and insignias).
- Reworks the smooth_maps (apparently, Jim darkened them too much because he did not understand why they had no effect in his mod).
- Fixes excessive blur, use dithering to avoid flat color areas without gradients.
- Corrects the placement of eagle insignias using 3D projection (since the UV maps aren’t flat, simply copying and pasting images onto textures doesn’t work properly).
- Fixes metal_maps so they are only used on metallic objects.
- All textures are in sRGB format, because RGB linear (even for normal_maps) causes issues with this game.
- Disables all doubles normal_maps in the material files (some 3D models have two different normal_maps, but the second one is just a fabric texture applied across the all 3d model surface).
- Replaces the ugly and weird parallax effects with normal_maps.
- Some occlusion_maps have been entirely regenerated using 3D software.
- Fixes texture type mismatches (some occlusion mapped to albedo, some smoothness used as occlusion, some occlusion used as smoothness)
- And much more...

If you appreciate my mod and want to let me know that i should continue improving this game,
you can thanks by offering beer or coffee! 😉

✔ This mod does NOT require starting a new campaign.
✔ It should work with previous saved games.

To avoid LOD issues (old textures reappearing when you move away), delete all .dxt files in the Cache game folder.
