Big update, many screens dpne.

First, the Patrol History Screen:




Second, the Barracks Screen:




Third, the Load Saved Career Screen (U-123 and U-201 leaving Port):




Fourth, the U-Boot Aces Screen (the background is of actual fotos of the following U-Boot aces starting from top left clockwise: Erich Topp, Herbert Schulze, 2 fotos of Günther Prien, Otto Kretschmer and Wolfgang Lüth):




Next, the Save Screen:



And lastly, the Options Screen:



Remember:
1) Black and White Theme for this screen mod
2) Actual Photos used in all Screens in this mod, with the exception of the Orders Screen, which i will almost certainly redo since it just doesn't fit the overall feel so far.

Cheers.

@ Borgneface and brett25: Thanks Gents. Not too far away from release.

Next we have the Mission Orders Screen, a real shot of U-53 and her 105mm Deck Gun being loaded as background:





Next the Transfer Screen, with U-37 providing some shore leave to her crew:




Then we have the Career History Screen:




Museum Loading Screen:



And last, the Career Screen, only thing i did was desaturated the image, the red was annoying, even before the inception of this mod and it wouldn't really be fitting, with 2 or 3 black and white images greeting you and then bammm, a red screen....:




I've also worked on some icons for the Shortcuts pop-out menu, they are colour, since black and white would not have shown up too well. If you can make them out from the screenshots:




Getting there now...

I'm pretty much done with this now.
Here are a few more updates before a release sometime this week.

First up the Navigation screen, background used U-Boot Pen in Bergen:




Next the Campaign Log Screen, which depicts an actual foto as background of U-48 receiving supplies:



Next the Multiplayer Screen which features U-36:




And the following 3 are touch-ups to make the U-Boot models that appear in the barracks screen, equipment screen and crew management screens more transparent and black and white, to firstly bring the background to life more and to fit in with the general style of this mod:










Thank you, that's all for now.

Nice work. The B & W transfer screen looks horizontally stretched though. Especially from the face of the guy walking the plank.

Looks excellent, though if I might add some personal opinions:

- For multiplayer I would have chose a pic with several ubots, like a wolfpack, indicating the multiple axis units

- The difficulty settings screen depicts actually a UBIII type uboat from WW1, not a WW2 Type VII as people usually think

Installs fine, looks fine, very immersive. I am going to try out playing the whole game in black and white for even more immersion...

BTW, the download link on the first page sends you to the first page which sends you to the first page... Needs some adjustment.

All in all a very nice work, thanks a lot, ol' friend.

Nice work, Feuer Frei!

Just two questions:

  • Would it be possible to get the main loading screen without the text in the upper left corner?
  • Would it be possible to get the main menu screen (mask512.tga) without the paper on the left?
Regards, LGN1
