[REL] Officer Rank Insignia 1.1

CaptainCox · 05-12-07, 06:17 AM

OFFICER RANKS INSIGNIA 1.1
Made by
CAPTAIN COX
Adds a rank insignia to the officers collar.
Now all ranks appear in game (I excluded Commander as YOU! are it)

Lieutenant (JG) -Ensign -Lieutenant -Lieutenant.Cmdr -Commander

Ranks are
-Ensign
-Lieutenant (JG)
-Lieutenant
-Lieutenant Commander

Also tweaked the Officers Hats

Lieutenant (JG)

Ensign

Lieutenant

Lieutenant.Cmdr

Notice the colored guys, just thought about the discussion a while back
on that topic.

Actually looking at those pictures, all the guys wear ties...I wonder if thats only for the photo session. Can't imagine you would wear a tie in the heat of the pacific all the time.

In all documentary films I have seen on fleet boats, most men are bear breasted or just wearing t-shirts, that's including the skippers (t-shirt, or buttoned up shirt), like in the game.

Install:
Simply use with JSGME

I don't know if you guys have noticed this but the officers hats looks pretty darn bad in the game, WAY TO SMALL. Just noticed it as i wanted to do a proper skin for them.

Should look like this.

or this

In game...like this!

To me it looks more like Humphrey Bogart's hat in African Queen

To tweak this one have to start looking at the actual 3D model I think, something I will not do tonight...

This mod smells of the word, "awesome". Good thing i just ended my last patrol, how now i can load this puppy up. The lack of rank insigna was bugging the hell out of me.

Is it possible to get rank on the enlisted as well? I imagine that be alot of work though.

CaptainCox · 05-12-07, 02:00 PM

Well.. not really If you got some pics of the stuff you would like to have just post here, and I see what i can do. To apply the actual textures is pretty easy.

As for install...? JSGME...maybe

True

but thats from the stock game. Maybe one could remove that, like one could in SH3.

CaptainCox · 05-12-07, 02:20 PM

Just had a look in the Crew.Cfg files...ALL GERMAN NAMES!!!. Someone know how this works?
Got it, its in :
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\UPCData\UPCCrewData
Will have a look around.

EDIT: I think one has to tweak this file "CrewMembers3D.upc" then one should be able to see all ranks onboard...will have a go at it.

@Ducimus, As far as i know, the enlisted guys never wore any kind of insignias or badges. But again if you have any pic that proves me wrong please post, cause i am also interested in that.

Your probably right. I think my desire to see rank on enlisted sleeves is some sort of holdover from SH3.

Great job!

Actually, they did, but often it was the navy-issue baseball cap. In a recent article in WW II magazine there are a couple of pictures of crewmen wearing said cap, both at the dive planes station and on deck watch. It'd sure be nice to have those as an option in-game.

CaptainCox · 05-16-07, 11:42 PM

WOW! any chance of a scanned pic there man
