I see from code snip below you have a Type-VIIC U-Boat with Conning Tower Upgrade.
Files needed for Allberich Paint Sheme are as follow:
Location = Data\Textures\TNormal\tex
- Conning_7C_01_albrecht.dds
- Conning_7C_01_albrecht_N.dds
- Conning_7C_02_albrecht.dds
- Conning_7C_02_albrecht_N.dds
- Uboat7C_structure_albrecht.dds
- Uboat7C_structure_albrecht_N.dds
- Uboat7C_deck_albrecht.dds
- Uboat7C_deck_albrecht_N.dds
(The below files may not have _albrecht in name and effect all Type-VII boats.)
- Uboat7_body_albrecht.dds
- Uboat7_body_albrecht_N.dds
(Because UV/AO maps for this texture are not the same on all Type-VII boats.
Because the body texture should be able to change from Paint Scheme to Paint Scheme without effecting other Paint Scheme's.
I consider this to be a BUG)

Seeing that you are running 32bit OS, you may have 1 big issue...
Have you used BCDEDIT command to tell your OS to allow applications to use more then 2048 memory?
The BCDEDIT command line must be run using you local Administrator Account or equal.
"bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 3072" (without quotes)

- Uboat7C_deck_albrecht.dds
- Uboat7C_deck_albrecht_N.dds

I do not have these two files.

As for the increaseuserva patch, i did this a long time ago yes ^^.

"Equipment and Upgrade Packs Fix 1.0 Fist Full of Emblems Patch"

Is this patch still necessary for v1.2?

Real life issue's have been taking almost 100% of my time for the past couple months so I just have not had time to make the update for Fist Full of Emblems version of this MOD.

Hopefully, I will get enough free time this coming week to take care of it.

[Brumete]

This mod is compatible with v1.51 Fistful of Emblems .... Yes? No?
With PATCH Yes? Pacht do not need?

I would like to have contest that anyone can enter to make new Paint Scheme's for these new coatings that are now available for use by everyone using this MOD.

Can you PLEASE create a optional little mod with this your famous black VIIC/41 skin (Alberich Black Panther) for these new coatings that are now available? I do not want to ride with stock paint scheme, when I have enabled the new coating in your upgrade mod.

You can use any skin you like.
Simply rename files to match your selected coating.

Alberich = _albrecht
Improved Alberich = _alb_imp
Tarnmatte = _tarn
Improved Tarnmatte = _tarn_imp

How activate the camo skins? Like the 'training' one?

Yes, if you select Alberich Coating you much rename files adding "_albrecht" to filenames. This will enable your preffered Skin Texture to be applied when using the Alberich Coating.

Other Coatings:
Improved Alberich = _alb_imp
Tarnmatte = _tarn
Improved Tarnmatte = _tarn_imp

The Camo Skins are Stock game textures with exception of U-552.
I have done extensive testing to ensure these textures are loading correctly when using this MOD.
If these are not showing up for you, they may not have been installed.
Please verify these coating textures are installed correctly in you game directories.
I have encountered some stock skin textures missing from my game in the past.

Also, there is a stock game BUG that sometimes prevents the selected coating from loading when first leaving port. The default commission coating is loaded by default when this happens.
Once you have gone far away from port. Try saving game and reloading save progress.

What is the best way to check the textures are installed?

I´m an amateur TheBeast. Also step by step please.


1) I have downloaded a mod "Black_Skin_albrecht"
2) In which folder of your mod (only in "Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_1_2_byTheBeast"?) should I change, when I will this skin for all coatings (Improved alberich, Tarnmatte and Improved Tarnmatte)?
3) After this I have to activated both mods? Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_1_2_byTheBeast first?

Thank you for answer Kaleun TheBeast!

Its very simple , before installing ur black skin mod, rename all the files in the mod with the tipe of the skin you want to use, for example if u want tarnmatte:Conning_7A_01_N_tarn.dds.(just use _tarn).After that just activate the skin mod as usually.
sry for my english i hope you understood.
Ps:TheBeast, great mod man thx for it, i have only one question.I mixed ur mod with AFFOE,copied the emblem files from AFFOE to your mod and renamed them, the mod works great no conflicts just one problem, i can see all the emblems from AFFOE but not yours with the wolf and the pirate.Can u tell me what i did wrong?

[0rpheus]

This is an awesome mod, but I have an oddity - I'm using the fix to lower the radio antenna at periscope depth, and the antenna doesn't come up, which is great.

However, when I dive from 20 to around 30, 35 feet, the bottom of the antenna comes through the bottom of the sub, so I get this weird white line poking through the hull which looks very odd!

Any ideas on why/how to get rid of it? Thanks for a great mod
