Has anybody else noticed on pr Normandy that when friendlies pick up enemy kits that their uniform doesn't change, just the weapon? Like for example, if a German were to pick up an American rifleman, they would still have the German uniform and just be holding an M1. I would put up a screenshot, but at the moment I dont have any. I just thought that this was a really cool feature and was wondering if anybody knew if this was going to make it into the full release of 1.0.

It's because the filenames of the soldiers and kits are the same, just like in vBF2. If you change either the soldier or kit filenames, you will be able to wear the enemy's kit geos.

I dont think i understand this, what excatly happens? When you take enemy's kit, you keep your old kit geoms, or you sond have any kit geoms at all. Or does the OP mean that the player model stays the same?

If you're a US guy and pick up a German kit, you keep using US kit geos, but use the index of the German kit.

Can this be done for vanilla pr, too?

I thought it was like this in vanilla PR anyway?

Normal PR uses multiple kit geos per faction, so works a bit different. I don't know (myself) if there's a way to fix it and still use multiple kit geos (other than combining them into a new one).

Well yeah, its actually one hell of a feature in my book. I was just hoping that maybe it could be implemented in regular pr as well.

This behaviour is not intentional in "normal" PR. But for the moment it's just too much effort to fix it.

Aww, lame. Still thanks for explaining it all bloody.
