Change torpedo warhead colors in TMO?

Flaskegaard · 07-14-14, 01:32 PM

I am trying to swap torpedo warhead colors in TMO. The Mk 14 has a green warhead color and the Mk 18 has a gold warhead color. I'm trying to switch their colors ONLY, without changing their characteristics / specs. I have gone into the files and used S3D, but nothing has worked. Does anyone know if it's possible, and if so, how?

Download the US TORPEDO OVERHAUL v1.1 mod and inspect the files to see how Captain America did it, then you can have a go at the TMO files.
Note: This is for vanilla 1.5 and the link to the mod is still working.

MOONLIGHT, That worked partially...

the torpedoes look great in the senario when I checked them during lauch with the external camera under water, however, in the torpedo loadout screen in the sub management section, they are a scrambled mix of three skins and sizes. Now I have to figure out how to make them appear properly in the loadout screen...

I just found an OLD thread called: "[REL] What color is your torpedo?" posted by CASTORP345. Not surprising, the link is dead,

and I got directed to a website called RapidShare. I had no idea where to find it there, if at all. I PM'd Castorp345, but no answer. This may just be a shot in the dark, but is there a chance anyone else out there who might have this mod, and if so, send me a working D/L link?

The torpedo skins in it are exactly what I'm looking for. I tried to find out how to get into the US_torpedoes512 bitmap using S3D, but no joy. Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help...

You might give this one a try.

Thanks for the suggestion, Sailor Steve, but the same thing happened as before, the torpedoes changed in the senario, but not in the torpedo loadout screen. I also found out why, the suggested mods are for v1.5, I'm using v1.4. I just need to learn out how to get into the US_torpedo512 bitmaps and adjust the skins myself, as all the 1.4 torpedo mods are old and dead, and the 1.5 ones don't work on 1.4.

to edit the dds and tga files use the Paint.Net image editing tool

s3d is best used for editing the sim, zon, and dat files

and for any text files you need to edit use windows notepad to open and edit those

Cool. There is the issue, I need to download Paint.net. I was messing around with parent ID's and such with S3D. I'll give it a try...Thank you!
