Um, that's actually what I'm doing. Reread the first post.

Captain's desk photo is SH4\data\CaptainPicture

The sub's interior pinups are in various files in textures.

SH4\data\textures\TlowRes\tex

and

SH4\data\textures\TNormal\tex

I have them all sorted out - but what I want to know is what's the difference/function of having two different sets?

The difference between the TNormal and TLowRes is TNormal is used if you have "Texture Quality High" checked in your graphics options. If it isn't checked, then the game uses one of the two TLowRes files. As to why there are two of them, who knows? There is a minor brightness difference between them though.

Okay, it's been three weeks since I posted this poll, and I figure that's long enough. So I'm officially declaring the poll closed.

Here's the vote total from all three sites where I posted the poll:

Use both high and low resolution files 4

Use only high resolution files 20

Use a mix of art and photos 15

Use just art and just photos 6

Don't even bother 1

So as you can see, the sets will be high res versions only, and using both art and photos.

One thing I have decided on my own is to randomly use the art and photos, instead of basing a set on one specific artist and or actress like my CDP sets. Partly this is because in some cases there aren't enough photos to go with some of the art sets, so I'd have to mix those up some anyway. But mostly it's because I need to limit the set file size to the maximum direct upload size for Subsim as my FTP account is nearly full. I just prefer not to have to break larger sets into parts in order to do this, and besides, the files are going to be used randomly in the game anyway.

I'll start work on the first set some time next week. When it's finished, I'll upload it and the new randomizer program then. So stay tuned!

I'd like to see something other than scantily dressed women! I know that sailors had these but it won't hurt to see professional stuff. Also artistic and releases familial fotos are good as well as fotos of the skippers prior to services as I found that after serving their faces are far less expressive.
