Modern TypeXXI Skin [RELEASED]

Type941 · 09-01-05, 09:40 AM

UPDATE

I've uploaded the sub to Terrapin's site.

The final version looks like that. I decided against releasing different variations on it (number, red hull, etc) as I don't have lost interest to do more and I think the current version is best.

So I repositioned a few holes on the hull, making it a bit more different. Also you have the bottom part same color as top, but just with more rust. The hull has a weathered look, and the 'tiles' show through a bit (always liked that feel). And of course it's JGSME compatible, and includes the guns.

Get the skin here: http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/ Look for H3: "Modern Type XXI Skin" in the download section.

The guns are in the main SH3 folder. Go to Data/Library/GUNS_SUB.dat

This has already been done by myself and 1 other person ( sorry but i have forgotten who)

But so far yours is looking good

Type941 · 09-01-05, 01:06 PM

Is there a download link to YOUR black boad? I am asking because I'd like to take a look at all the files you have there.... Sorry I haven't seen this done before by others. I guessed that the only skins for them is the Type7 weatthered one on the front page.

If you go to terrapin's site and go to the skins section, there is one called U2518. The files there are a good source to look at. One thing I don't understand about it, is there seem to be a copy of the files with 000 extension. The skin works fine without these files, and these files are not in the Type XXI's folder.

You can also get NZ_Wanderer's black boat skins here:

http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopi...ght=black+boat

In his Type XXI skin, the GUNS_SUB dat file has all the guns as black. This looked odd on the other U-boats. I extracted the dat file and left the Type XXI's guns black, but replaced the other texture with stock ones.

Alright, will do. thanks for answering.

Having reviewed those files, I've got only 1 small problem. I can't seem to figure out why, but the UZO is now all rusty!! ?? Very strange... See this pic below:

Other than the UZO thing, I think I got the look of it I wanted. I was going for the rugged badass looking russian type of sub. Not sure if I pulled it off in that respect, but I quite like the new appearance of the boat, it certainly look a bit more modern. I've had to make a new texture for it and than layed over some rust effects, etc. The top is supposed to be rubber, and bottom is painted gray, but rusty, like I've seen on some dry dock pics. So once I sort the UZO, I think I'll release it. Of course, the downside is you get the guns black, but I might do this type of skin on the big Type IX as well -It will probably look pretty cool too..

Oh, and I wanted to stick a number on the boat, but because it gets inverted, i had to improvise with the number a little. But it reads 101 now from both sides you can't tell if it's inverted or not.

Let me know what you think thus far.

Hi!

What is that for a great watercolour in the second last picture?

Looks great for atlantik!!!

Could u please post the watermod which u have used for that picture for download?

Or do anybody know which colours are to add and in which file?

Thank`s a lot!

Type941 · 09-06-05, 06:48 PM

ah.. standard water, just some photoshop stuff.

Syxx_Killer · 09-06-05, 08:14 PM

The skin looks awesome! I've wanted to take a stab at a Kilo style skin, but it looks like you beat me to it. At least I know you would have done a better job than me.

Will there be a version without the number? I think I would prefer it without. I'm not sure what the significance 101 is.

Type941 · 09-06-05, 08:23 PM

yes, i'll release 3 versions.

1 with gray bottom part - with little rust (see pic attached) - number 1001

1 with red bottom part as seen above - number 101

and 1 with red bottom, no number on the side.

I'll experiment more with the portholes as I want to make them slightly different style. I also sorted the UZO problem.

And yes, it's leaking oil.

Were we snorkeling?

Will there ever be a numberless gray bottom version, too?

Type941 · 09-06-05, 08:29 PM

yes, sure.

And now, I just got rammed a little by a battleship. Happens.
