[Release]-IXD2 Camo & Weathered

[danlisa]

Here's an IXD2 with a weathered camo option.

I'm not affraid to say that I struggled to get the camo option for the conning tower to my liking, so I dropped the option but still gave the metal a weathered look.

This is JSGME ready and tested in GWX. As this skin is textures only it should be compatible with any mod going.

My thanks to Fubar & GWX whose default textures were used to create this.

Ive been resisting the call of the IX and trying to do a career in a VI - I think my resistance has been crushed by this , I sooo want my Cow and especially with B and C's on the way:D

I'll warn you now, if you do become an IX skipper there will be no going back.

Case & Point - Ducimus - got bored doing long range patrols in his IX and decided to start a VII campaign in the med. 2 weeks later he's back in an IX. :rotfl:(lol mate)

B & C versions should be up on the weekend.:up:

Until then - Sink 'em All.

[Liddabit]

I love this skin for my plane destroyer :D Thank you!

[danlisa]

Welcome to Subsim.:up:

Thanks for bumping this thread, it's reminded me that I was supposed to do an IXB & IXC version.:88):damn:

That was awhile ago.:rotfl:

[Jimbuna]

Welcome aboard kaleun Liddabit :arrgh!:

@danlisa...pick that peeler up and get back in the galley you idle good for nothing ;)

[Venatore]

That splinter cam has got a real good mat look to it. Blends in very nice with the overall U-Boat. The cam looks like it belongs on the U-boat, excellent skin my friend well done. :up:

[danlisa]

I might have known it would be you to comment.

Watch out.:shifty:

Thanks Venatore, although it was only a couple of months ago, 1)I've totally forgotten how I got that effect & 2)I totally forgot about this skin.:rotfl::rotfl:

:damn::damn:

Nevertheless, I will attempt to finish of the IXB & IXC as soon as we get a break from testing. Which is really hard work.:p

Oh no!!...not the dreaded rollie eyes :lol:

[Schultzy]

Just grabbed it! That is one fine skin Dan. Love the splitter camo, really works well. Glad you've decided to focus on the type 9 for a bit! ;)

[Reece]

Excellent work Dan, thanks!:up:

[Shaffer4]

"I'm gonna eat in it, sleep in it, and make sweet love to it..."

"Don't you mean make love in it?..."

"No, I'm gonna **** it!"

:rotfl:

In other words, that borders on the best skin I've seen for SH3... :rock:

(the exception being my own Iced VII :P )

[Reece]

Hi again Dan, went to install but has clash with Furbars VIIC U552 mod, the file is the conning_stuff.tga.
Yours:

Furbars:

As I don't know much about textures which should I choose that won't look out of place, or is it not possable?:)

[danlisa]

This texture governs the colour of the radar plates on the front of the conning tower as well as a few other little things.

If you are wanting to use my skin now, then just enable it. Otherwise, the radar plates are gonna look a little funny.;) (you can just make them out on the first screenie)

Then when you're done, disable it and Fubar's skin will be back to normal.:yep:

Hope that helps mate.

This problem has arisen because all boats share the same TGA file for the Radar Plates, nothing to worry about.

[Reece]

What I need to do is get a fleet of Grey/Blue Uboats & Green!:yep: I have collected all of Furbars & will go through them to sort out which ones match, to make it easier for me could you tell me the ones that match of yours please?:yep::up:
I might then make up the matching set of boats to place in SH3 Commander, although could probably be done with any mixture here!:D
I'm greedy ... I want them all!!!:smug:

[danlisa]

If you pick them from my FF account then.....

The IXB, IXC & IXD2 Weathered (light or dark) all match, although, they are all unique skins for each boat.
Currently the IXD2 Weathered Camo is the only one of it type, the IXB & IXC will follow eventually.

They are all textures only and will work with any version of SH3.

However, I have been informed that the weathered skins can appear a little dark on some PC's. This is probably due to the fact that I have a very light LCD monitor & when designing them I didn't realise this. You can if you want, just open them up in PS and lighten them.

[Mush Martin]

Very Sharp a Definite must have.

Thanks Dan!:up:
