[REL] Emblems for OM 705 uboats - Page 3

etheberge · 11-02-09, 01:35 PM

Othr,

Found the problem with the emblem not showing up on the IID. There's a typo in UnitParts11IID.upc.

Change:
[UnitPart 1.Compartment 1.EquipmentSlot 9]<------
ID= EmblemSlot
NameDisplayable= Conning tower emblem
Type=NULL
AcceptedTypes=NULL
UserCustomizable=Yes
IDLinkEquipmentIntervalDefault1= NULL, NULL, NULL
ExternalNodeName3D= EMB
ExternalDamageZoneTypeID3D= -1

to:
[UnitPart 1.Compartment 1.EquipmentSlot 8]<------
ID= EmblemSlot
NameDisplayable= Conning tower emblem
Type=NULL
AcceptedTypes=NULL
UserCustomizable=Yes
IDLinkEquipmentIntervalDefault1= NULL, NULL, NULL
ExternalNodeName3D= EMB
ExternalDamageZoneTypeID3D= -1

That did the trick for me. Tested with IID 1st Flotilla/Sept.1940.

Thanks a bunch, most issues now fixed in 0.4.

Works like a champ now. My thanks to all who helped get me working!!

I played around with a few emblems and this method does not flip the image - so it works great for non-directional emblems like shields and such - directional emblems like the snorting bull, smiling sawfish, and leaping devil will be aiming forward on the port side... and to the rear on the starboard side. Risking a stupid question... is there a way to flip the image for opposing sides?

Othr,

I think the 0.4 archive may be corrupted. I tried downloading twice from filefront but no joy.

Akula were you able to get the new version?

I can confirm that it is corrupted

I'll look into that, if it means doubling the amount of entries in the .dat files and the UPC files I probably won't do it.

Not yet sir. Download was no good... but figured it was me.

othr · 11-02-09, 06:47 PM

Is there a half decent file hosting site? Getting failures from filefront. I think I'll cut the placement kit out of this and offer it as a separate download to reduce the size of the archive.

OK thanks for that list, I used mediafire this round. Hopefully that works.

etheberge · 11-02-09, 07:03 PM

You could also request access to add files in the Subsim downloads section. In the mean time one of us could also put it there for you as well.

othr · 11-02-09, 07:09 PM

I'll try to get access to the download section here.

As etherberge pointed out this would be really easy to do, however, any emblems with text in them will get the 'mirrored' effect on one of the sides. That is a problem and there really is no easy way to approach this other than creating duplicates of already created emblems.

I guess there could be an addon on top of this addon to make what you want happen, pretty dirty and I don't like it but there really isn't much else we can do.

I suppose it would be possible to include two versions of the .dat files, one with the emblem facing backwards on one side but not mirrored and the other with both sides facing forwards but one side mirrored.

Leave it up to the users to choose which one they want by manually copying the files or through JSGME. This way everyone could have their cake and eat it too.
