good god!!! looks like you've got resolution coming out your butt!!!
AWESOME JOB!!!:rock:

have to get this one....

[Fish40]

Looks great:up:, and thanks!

[Xantrokoles]

shivers:cool:

I guess you were the man for making high res VIIC skins for Sh4!
I have big problems with the standard textures in a game with lightmaps:damn:
they are to brighten.

Thanks for this mod!

[OakGroove]

Xantrokoles,
i´d love to! :up:

There´s still quite some specular shine on these too, especially visible @ low sun / night. I also didn't quite get the details on i wanted to, because it would have involved UV editing, requiring a 3D app and at least some basic knowledge on polygonal modelling - both of which i don't have.

Concerning lightmaps - if you work with Photoshop try adding a layer with a light gray (i.e. R:190 G:190 B:190) and set it's blend mode to "Darken". This will tone down anything lighter than this to the specified level (eliminating whites).

You might also want to keep the alpha channel rather dark. I´m still experimenting with the latter.

[Ishigami]

I'm sorry to ask this but how do I change the color scheme?
Do I have to rename the files or is this multi skin and based on date?

I forgot: Thanks for this it looks splendid! :up:

[OakGroove]

No problem.

Default would be dunkelgrau (*T01). If you select the "Alberich" coating, the schlickgrau (*T01T) skin is used. I`m not entirely sure when/where you get the Blaugrau (*T02) skin. However, you could always rename the respective files, so that the preferred skin is displayed.

[Ishigami]

Ahhhh check!

Indeed really gorgeous (http://www.dict.cc/englisch-deutsch/gorgeous.html)! :up:
Will you create more of these or was it just an exception? Because I think it is really good and I would like to see more of your work.
I think Xantrokoles was talking about this playable Type VIIC/41: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=133658 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=133658)
in which creation he was involved.
Maybe you two could reskin this beauty in “HD”? - That would be awesome! :sunny:

Not that I’m saying the actual skin looks bad, no! I really like it. I’m using the camouflage pattern that was delivered as an alternative. It’s just not as sharp as the others (I’m using the high res reskins from FooFighter for the fleet boats).

Other than this I think keltos01 has some new submarines. :hmm:

It’s just what I think, because FooFighter did a really good job at the fleet boats and I don’t know if it’s really that benefiting to reskin these again. I would rather see some mods getting skins in a higher resolution with more details.

Darn I think I sound too bossy… sorry for that. :damn:
Basically I got no right to say anything as I'm only a user and don’t produce something of value for the community. :dead:

Any way nice work, keep it up. :yep:

[Vorkapitan]

Looks very good, keep it coming... how about other US skins? :lol:

[Alex]

It looks very nice, mate ! :up:

[ReallyDedPoet]

Nice work :yep::up:

Thanks Ishigami,

glad you like them. Providing time and reference material permits, i'd like to do some more skins, though i think that U.S. boats are well served atm. Currently i have some camouflage patterns for the IX D2 in the works. Next would be a set for Tomi's VIIC ... though i'm afraid it requires more than just new textures ... and i can only help with the latter :oops:

[Ishigami]

Wow great to hear! Looking forward to it (both of course, I like camouflage patterns :yep: )

[Hitman]

Great work as usual Oak :D :up:

I'm downloading, but can you also post a pic of the Dunkelblau? That was precisely the colour used by the IXD2 U-Boats in late war, one of the few colour pictures of WW2 shows that very well :yep:

[Fish40]

A quick question: I activated the mod via JSGME, and was immediately informed that one file was already altered by OM v2.0, and another by the "caustic, roll/pitch" part of PE3. What exactly will happen, or what will I lose from these other two mods if I activate? Can anyone advise?

[AVGWarhawk]

Oakgroove! I wondered what happen to you! You knocked everyones socks off with your HUD for the fleet boats and kind of slipped away. Glad your back. I like the new skins for the U's nice work:rock:

[Xantrokoles]

I wanna add something to this:

The VIIC/41 is good.
But I am currently working on a much better version!
Cause he released a more detailed one and I am gonna add it in my atlantic mod.
So no rush with this OakGroove!
I want to make the Atlantic mod fully working and then there come mods for it like textures campaign, ships, upgrades and so on:up:

[Xantrokoles]

@ Oak
-> my trick is it until now, darking all the textures.
at night and during bad weather it looks very good, but with sunshine it looks cheap.

Have you seen Mikhayl's IIB? it look great everytime. Its textures have the best grey scale or so?

[bunkerratt]

nice work once again ......:up::rock:

I´ve modified the NSS_Uboat9d2.dat and Turm_9d2_1.dat for specular/gloss levels, so these 2 might be conflicting. Using skwas silent editor you could manually alter your current .dat files to keep the changes made by OM/PE3. Note the included NSS_Uboat9d2.dat and Turm_9d2_1.dat are not necessary for the skins to be displayed.

Hi Warhawk,

thanks :D . It just became increasingly difficult to maintain participation in gaming communities due to job related change. However, now that i have some air to breathe, i'm at it again.

[OakGroove]

@ Xantrokoles,

roger that.
Going to have a look at Mikhayl's IIB. Maybe he's using custom materials?

[MONOLITH]

OakGroove....

Can you tell me what changes are made to the Turm_9d2_1.dat file?

It conflicts with Lurkers Operation Monsoon V200.


Please and Thank You.

Already asked that one Monolith. :yep:

Beautiful skins, sir.:up:

Does this mean that there is a new version of this VIIC 41 for download or is it just for your Atlantic mod atm?


Oak if got no new project at the time being and got plenty of time then I have a selfish request that may be something to look into depending on your preferences. :oops:
The heavy cruiser Admiral Scheer is the only proper (damage and balanced) working playable surface vessel at the time and I think it would be awesome to have her in a HD skin.
I personally think she would be even prettier with only slight weathering and in the prewar light grey coating:

http://www.deutschland-class.dk/deutschland_main_page.jpg

This is rucos mod of the playable Admiral Scheer from Xantrokoles (kinda :doh: ) with working damage: http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=ALYWUOP0
Okay I said it :oops:


Anyway I'm looking forward to whatever you will do. :yep:

[OakGroove]

Thanks stabiz, i have some slightly updated skins of the default ones (Dunkelgrau 51/Schlickgrau 58 and Blaugrau 58/1) and going to upload them in a day or two.

@ all, the emblem i included on all 3 default skins is a personal one. I think of all the emblems i tried, it gave the best contrast. However i´m open to suggestions which emblems to include in the next batch, that is unless someone has already realeased sort of emblem enabler (~ like the kill markings mod) :hmm:

@Ishigami,
going to have a look at the Admiral Scheer, but i could take some time.

A WIP shot on a first splinter camouflage pattern:
http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/7118/splinteroy8.jpg
I don't use the lightmaps to paint the camo on, though much more simple, the results are too crude. Painting the camo on the textures themselves involves quite alot of fiddling, as pretty much everything gets mirrored in one way or the other.

[Xantrokoles]

You should do it this way but later you'll see, that the reflections doesn't look as good as at the stock boat.

[Xantrokoles]

...Scheer from Xantrokoles (kinda :doh: ) with working...
INSULT???

Does this mean that there is a new version of this VIIC 41 for download or is it just for your Atlantic mod atm?

Not ready for download, but it looks een better as in SH3 ;-D

[Ishigami]

Hhmm I would maybe make the stripes a bit broader and not so jagged. But looking good anway!

This is a model out of real pictures.
OakGroove isn't a designer, he copies the real skins as good as possible;)

[OakGroove]

Sorry for the delay, it took a while longer to reach "Frontreif" status. :)
The Package has been reworked, it now contains textures w/ and w/o emblems, as well as 2 camouflage patterns.

[Herr_Pete]

i have a problem! i just added this mod and i enabled it in the jsgme. When i go to play the game the u-boat looks exactly the same :S is there anything else i must do before it works?

[OakGroove]

Herr_Pete,

after extracting Type IX D2 Exterior Replacement Textures.rar, just copy the *ERT* Folders to your mods folder (i.e. Typ IX D2 ERT Base Package, Typ IX D2 ERT Camouflage Package, Typ IX D2 ERT Emblem Package). The base package needs to be installed in any case, as the Camo and Emblem are not stand-alone, else the archive would have grown too big.

Hope this helps.

@ Mikhayl,

thanks!
Are you by any chance firm wih normal maps as utilized by SH4? I´m having some issues with the 'Spee normals. The method i've used until now is to save a tangent space normal map using Nvidia's .dds plugin, reload the texture in PS and swap the green and blue channels, saving as DXT1. Apart from that the plugin runs like **** on CS2 and Vista, the results ingame leave alot to be desired, no matter the settings i use - it just doesn't look right.
Is there a way to produce quality maps using other methods/ tools?

[Herr_Pete]

Hi, thanks for the help m8! working perfectly and looking amazing! cheers

Great Textures again from you!
But I don't like your dark deck...Thats no problem, I can use other ones :-)
Have you looked at DXT BMP (http://www.brothersoft.com/dxtbmp-download-71327.html)?

It is a nice tool for textures converting and editing:up:

In my oppinion the game works best with DXT3. It gives the smallest files, too.

I somehow missed the release of your update. Thanks for effort! Nice work! :up:

Will there be any high res skins comming out for the VIIC?

[Stary Wuj]

Good question :D

Great skins! Thank You :rock:

@ Herr_Pete & Stary Wuj
providing everything works out as planned i`d like to keep this schedule:

- BB-61 in Measure 31/1B.
- Fletcher Class Measure 22
- UBM Artwork& Interface
- Update to Submarine Instruments

There are some quite good skins for Tomi's VII in the making - or out already, so this is rather low priority atm.

Wow...how did I miss this mod? I found it now and a big thank you OakGroove! :|\\ The camo is topnotch!

[BlackCatx3]

Do these IXD2 replacement skins work on SH3 or are they for SH4? I only have SH3 and I am new to the sim. Is the Grey Wolves mod required to use these IXD2 skins? The screen shots on the thread look great! Excellent job!

[BlackCatx3]

OakGroove,

Were your sample IXD2 screenshots taken from SH4 or SH3? It looks like they might have come from SH4, do to the appearence of the watch crew. That cammo in particular is really nice looking..

[Sailor Steve]

This is the SH4 U-Boat Mods forum, so, probably SH4.

[tonschk]

Well done OakGroove :up: , excellent realistic Skins , do you think is possible to make a bit more Rusty Weathered version ( I love rusty subs )

[Sea Otter]

GREAT skins! Thank you for your hard work.

[bratwurstdimsum]

Hey there, Wonderful work, I'm having a problem with this skin however, its looks great but when combined with Xan's snorkel mod which is the telescopic vertical rising type, I get a snorkel that "Becomes" a swing type that swings from the bottom of the boat and ends up sticking out the bottom of the u-boat!! when it fully deploys I don't get the diesels kicking in under water either.

Is it a quirk of this skin? Please help!

[W_clear]

Looks very good.Thanks:up:

[W_clear]

Thank you for your hard work.
Thanks:up:

[bratwurstdimsum]

Yep nice work ... I still got a query about the upsidedown snorkel...see three posts above, pictures for the query are below.

The original post is over a year old, and the author also has not logged in for over a year.

Unless someone still has it, this is another set of files lost to the FileFront purge.

Hey,Hitman...

Thank you so much for your effort,but the package that you uploaded is an old one.Those three textures are already been included in OM.

What we need is a Ogrooves second updated package with camo textures...Is there any possibility that you have that one too and if that so,please upload it...

Thank you again..You are the man...:salute:

[Hitman]

DOH ... after 1/2 hour of uploading it was already in OM?

Merry Christmas, KurfürstThanks kurfürst, but that link is the old package, with grey and dark grey skins only, and Im looking for the package that includes the camo skins. Jan Kyster posts a link (reply #97) but it's off.

You (or anyone) know where I can download OakGroove's camo skins for IXD2 or other good camo skin? Im playing SH4 + Op. Monsun + Omegu.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, kurfürst, for this: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//showthread.php?t=169610. Yesterday I learned how to have a IXD2 submarine instead a IXD2 hoovercraft :D.

Merry Christmas, "Bilge Rat" Pepe99a

Horrido Pepe99a,

glad to read that you got your IX D2 deeper in the water.
The original draught set was more meant for "Free Willy" or anything else floating around, but not for an U-Boat.

I found the "original" set of Oakgrooves textures on my HD and have uploaded them for you. Here´s the link:

Have a nice Christmas Eve!

Beste Grüsse, Kurfürst:salute:

Of course I'm going to have a nice Christmas Eve, finally have the camo skin! It's a nice present :D.

Sometimes is hard to find some good mods for SH4. Thanks, thanks and thanks, Kurfürst. Have a nice Christmas Eve you too.

First of all thanks to all of you for continually uploading this.

I have a few questions though.

After I installed it my D2 got a new default grey skin, so it's working. But I use OM and have no clue how to select another skin from the 3 available? I presume selection of skins only works in UBM vanilla, via upgrades screen? Anyway, I guess I could still figure that out by renaming the respective files.

Second, why is this (as well as the default green Type 9 D2 skin in UBM) so dark? In bright sunshine that looks really wrong. Is there anyone who has ever worked on the relative darkness of the "new" technology skins (lightmaps?) .. ? In the old days it was easier, I could simply take the tga file and make it brighter myself ..

I usually just use the mod installer to install my IX skin's in OM, just put activate them and they show up, I still have a few skin's around also like Carotio's camo for the type IX.

To clarify, i'ts no problem to copy them in the game and the first skin shows up ok. But there are three different skins included, and I don't know how to switch those in OM (not vanilla).

hmmm, In my files all the skins are seperate, not sure on these working in OM as I was, the above screen shots are from the stock U Boat expansion or SH4 Gold with out any mod's
