CTD - it's not just a job
|
My back is paining me bad, so my worst friend insomnia is visiting... sheesh... Anyway, the skins go with the conning towers, and those are listed in the Gato.upc file like this:
IDLinkUnitPartIntervalDefault1= NULL, 1942-04-30, GatoConningEarlyWar IDLinkUnitPartIntervalDefault2= 1942-05-01, 1942-12-31, GatoConningMedWar IDLinkUnitPartIntervalDefault3= 1943-01-01, 1943-12-31, GatoConningLateWar IDLinkUnitPartIntervalDefault4= 1944-01-01, NULL, GatoConningElite so the #1 (early) tower runs until April 30th, 1942 and is "blank", like this: The second sail, "MedWar" uses the T01 tex file from May 1 to Dec 31 1942, like this: The LateWar goes from Jan 1, 1943 to Dec 31, 1943 using the T02 file in the tex folder like this: and the "Elite" goes back to "blank"... In this particular skin, it is for any Gato boat, so should show up between May 1, 1942 to Dec 31, 1943. If it doesn't, be sure you have it activated with JSGME properly, and that you don't have a bad folder structure like "Game \ MODS \ SS238 USS Wahoo_FooBor's GATO Combo HI-RES \ SS238 USS Wahoo_FooBor's GATO Combo HI-RES \ Data"... You only want the one "SS238 USS Wahoo_FooBor's GATO Combo HI-RES" folder, not two of them... I should have rotated the conn around in S3D, and looked at the other side. I have no idea if it faces forward, or back, or if it's even there... - Edit: It is there, on both sides, and both facing forward - excellent stuff. Of course, in the game, you should have the rest of your submarine, unless you do like I do, and get it blown out from under you all the time... Last edited by propbeanie; 12-16-17 at 02:31 AM. Reason: More "research" needed - now to test it... |

1. Which folder is the game installed in? |

So, you're NOT in a "Program Files" directory of any sort, but rather, a folder you made yourself for the install. Now, look in your MODS folder, and "navigate" (fancy-talk for "double-click on") into the "SS238 USS Wahoo_FooBor's GATO Combo HI-RES" folder. Do you see another folder of the same name, or a "Data" folder?

I have FooBor's SS-238 Wahoo skin with the headdress already on NSS_GatoTower_T01.dds and NSS_GatoTower_T02.dds if this is what you need.
As you know, NSS_GatoTower_T02.dds tower is lighter than NSS_GatoTower_T01.dds, or isn't this the issue..... Happy Hunting!

Naw, he's not seeing it in game. I also was using my FotRSU install as an example earlier, and there are four conning towers in it, but only two in Stock... sigh. That skin that you have is the one that he's been pointed at already. Might just be a bad activation in his install.

See how many are duplicated off the killflags copy at http://battleflags.us on the "Download a Boat" link.

Man, that'd be tough... There was a Kill Flags team, and I remember reading through their thread quite a while back, and they did make a lot of skins, but I don't remember who was doing what. I'll try to read through that again later today for you s7rikeback... What did I just volunteer for?...

Yes, the Kill Flags team would customize a players tower to reflect types of ships sunk; with meatballs & rising sun flags. They may have included aviators rescued and Special missions conducted like recons etc. too. At one time they had quite an operation going.
I suppose you could do the same if you wanted that kind of display on your tower using a graphics program to add the 'kill flags'. TGA is easier to work with than DDS unless things have changed.... they usually do - lol. Paint.net is a good program and is listed in one of the stickey's (it has a different url) and can work with DDS files. These kill flags and mascots (like the WAHOO headdress) added to the tower are not historically accurate but this is a game and if you want them displayed, go for it. The main objective is to have fun, right? Happy Hunting!
