[REL] Balao class submarine, Update 1.1

[FooFighters]

UPDATE RELEASE Balao V1.1 (also for patch 1.2)

Because there are no hi-res skins at this moment..
I used today to built a much cleaner less weathered skin.
This downloads has 2 versions.

One with sub number 181 (no other numbers can be done yet because of mirror images).
The other one without the numbers.
Hope you like it :D :D :D

Gorgeous, makes my other subs look like crap. So long Gato class.

It's a good thing I can't make mods, or I'd start putting spoilers on the subs and make them say "Type R" on the side.

[Crosseye76]

Very nice indeed. :up:

[Von Hinten]

Very nice one, thanks! :up:

That was also my reason for starting with thsese skins.. I thought the boats really look strange.. especially if you were used to the Fubars U-boat skins of SHIII.

In my opinion the game now looks better..

ohh.. and I am now working on new number decals (no more 101 181 only) and Purpoise class.

Still working on it.. But first I have to solve the lighting problem.
See this treat for screenies of the improved Balao with darker skin.

These are SUPER. I personally love clean skins with just a touch of weathering, instead of rusty scows.


S!

It is not JSGME ready...where do the files go? HELP????

Ok, the full folder path should be this:
( ?:\ ) Drive label is which ever one you used to install the game.

?:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Submarine\NSS Balao\

Just drag the Direct Draw files from which ever folder ( with numbers or without numbers ) and drop them in. Over right the old files. :up:
<( Dont forget to "BACKUP" the old graphics files! )> :o

[Flybywire]

I did just as you say but the tower is still the rust one. I wish they would make all mods JSGME ready?

The BalaoTower_T01.dds must go in this folder..
SHIV main folder/data/Textures/TNormal/Tex

Then your tower will also work

Sweet work bro, Thanks :rock:

I dont use JSGME know.. but I want a clean install when patch 1.2 comes out.
So from then on I will make my downloads JSGME ready
