[WIP] Gato light grey w/ rust

[Dowly]

I´m working on a new Gato skin on top of the Gato Re-color. The rivets are now visible, also I added some rust spots to the boat. Still need to draw the panel lines & finish the weathering effect. Anyone know where the conning tower texture files are stored? Atm, the boat is using the default conning tower textures.

Here´s two early shots of the boat:

Thats looking great :D...shame my system can't run the environmental effects though, the transparent water is awesome (can they make it a seperate option??).

And here it is with the weathered panel lines:

[Dowly]

No, that´s one of the late war towers. It´s a slightly blue, metallic. Not light grey, look harder! ;)

Looks good!:rock:

still not found tower? i like ur mod, it looks historical correct i think:

is there a chance to add SS-228 on the hull for me? :P

[Dowly]

You mean the number? Or SS-228? You know, it will be mirrored on the other side, so it says SS-228 on one side and 822-SS on other?

The skin is pretty much finished, just needs some finishing touches. But unfortunately, today, my RL has taken turn to downhill, so I need some time off from everything. Hang on! S! :roll:

[Cpt-Blaubär]

omg thats horrible! there is no chance to get numbers on ships etc?! :(

It´s not a life & death issue, but ****ty still. I can put the number there, but it will be mirrored on the other side. Your call.

I tried that on a Porpoise skin...big fat nice NAVY style 172...looks really bad when you look at the left side of the boat. I was like at it for 2-3 hours and went FFS!!!! when I realized what I had done :p...Well I guess you learn somet new every day :)

Yes, that would be great! Been trying to find some good photos of the US subs. Email them or just post them here.

[Dowly]

Thank you. ;)

[CaptainCox]

Its amazing how light gray the top is and how black the hull is...the Pampanito I mean...but then again I guess it has had about 10 layers of paint since 44 ;) If you compare this to the skins in the game they are nothing like it. That's something I noticed how over weatherd all skins are...maybe the boats get rusty and stuff but most skins looks like they belong in "S.T.A.L.K.E.R" or somet.

[nikimcbee]

Thank you. ;)

...but wait, there's more. I took all of these last week.

Any good pic showing the darker are of the paint? Without reflection of light? Cant make out if it is more of a black paint or a dark blue.

Sorry to interrupt but number 101 will do , a bit weathered ofcourse ;)
Maybe not historical accurate but sure looks cool as most subs had those white numbers on the side.
