I took some time prepping her up. I wanted to see if I could do better. There was some issues with textures not really working together on some parts. I had to butter her up.

Black deck guns with extra flavour. Not the processed stuff:nope:

I hope you like her.

She’s mean with attitude. She likes the sun and doesn’t mind if her skin is dry. Just add some paint and grease. She’s ready!:lol:

If she gives you a hard time. just post it here I will see what I can do to fix her up:rolleyes:

Happy hunting all! :()1:

Well I'm trying to find some pics of U-181 with not much luck... But I found this for those who want to mod or skin and need some new ideas. I stumbled across this site. I can't read it but the load of photos speaks volumes. Details is outstanding. So any modders out there this site has amazing info. Even prototypes Uboats that never made it.

http://www.u-historia.com/uhistoria/basehtml/mainxxl.htm

Doing some more searching on that website I found there link for Camo patterns for the U-boats ooohhhhya some nice new stuff.
Under,
Tecnica, articulos tecnicos and Colores Y simblolos de los U-Boat De la Kriegsmarine. Soo good.:up:

I hope it helps.:yep:

Hey Wolfehunter -

Thought I activated your great looking skin for the 9 through JSGME and all I got was plain grey stock. Don't know what gives. Sounds like others are doing OK with it. Any suggestions? (running GWX/Commander - deactivated all other skin mods)

Hmmm I never herd of that happing? I don't play GWX or use Commander. So I don't know if there are any special condition reguarding them.
Some of my skins have 2 Rezs. 1024 standard hi and 2048 super hi for those who's systems can handle it.

Default SH3 directory is as follows.

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\MODS\

extract Wolfehunters_IXB_C_MK2 folder into the MODS folder

Wolfe's folder is

\Wolfehunters_IXB_C_1024\data\Textures\TNormal\tex \*.*

I also use the mod myself I don't have that grey issue. Can you post any pics?

I believe JSGME is case sensitive so make sure its written correctly for the directories.

I don't know what more to say at the moment. I'll download the file and see if its corrupted??? But I'm sure others would have said something.

I'll try my best to help ya.:p

Check your Video settings. I've downloaded the my own files and tested them. They work fine. You must be using Low REZ. In options you have to twitch to Higher rez. If that isn't the issue I don't know what its?

Update I checked again.

Ok I check ingame IXB with IX\1 and IX\2 conning tower no issues. I checked IXC IX\1, IX\2 flawless and IX\3 a small texture issue with the main camo line. Other than that it works fine.

My computer I custom built is

an ancient Intel D865PERLX mb lan on and sound diabled.
Intel 3.2GHZ extreme cpu
2 gigz OCZ titanium dual channel pc 3200
soundblaster X-FI Elite pro
XFX GeForce 7600GT 256meg AGP
LG Flatron WIDE LCD LG204w
Vista 32 Ultimate.

I can run all games newer game at med rez of 1024x768 nicely and older game at 1680x 1050 flawless. If you can use other Skin mods are they low rez or high rez. I don't do low rez so that could be the problem. If I'm wrong and your system is setup for high rez then I'm speechless?

Low rez I believe is file tga set at 512 were high rez is set at 1024. Some files are smaller by nature like conning stuff.tga But NSS_Uboat9b.tga is default set on my system at 1024 but I use it at 2048 super high rez. This file is only at 1024 so it should work on your system.

Other than that I don't know much else to say.

If you could show some pic. you can take images by pressing the default key ingame CTRL+F11 or PRTSCR look into your SH3 directory for the numbered tga screenshots. Or you can press ALT + PRTSCR I believe it will work ingame and you need to open windows paint the paste under the menue edit. Save it as a jpg and go to WWW.Photobucket.com (http://www.Photobucket.com) you can then upload pic and post there links here.

Hello Wolfehunter.

I am away from my game all day so I have to wait to check out all of your suggestions. But I did open a Photobucket acct. So here goes:

Hope it works.
Thanks again.

Is that the default SH3 skin for the IXb?

Is so then the mod isn't loading.

I ask Lutzow to test also he didn't have a problem and he is using GWX 1.3.

Your doing someting wrong. I don't know what.:hmm:

Do you have a problem loading other skins?

5string74
10-19-07, 10:27 AM
No problem loading other skins....but let me check out this resolution thing you were suggesting. Maybe that's it. Won't be able to until tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks.

Do you have more than one IXB or C loaded into the actived mods folder? Ive done that and been wondering why I cant view the paint I just did.

5string74
10-19-07, 10:44 AM
No, I was careful about that. I have several IXB and a few IXC skins in the MODS folder but only one is enabled via JSGME. All other skins enable with no problem.

Can you PM me your active Mod list from JSGME. I will try to install a second SH3 with GWX to simulate your issue. I need to know which files and patch you used to install your GWX.

Also the non active mods. They're might be leftovers in the !backup folder that might be causing some issues. To know this you have to remove all active mods from JSGME. Then check !backup. If you see anything I would suggest PMing JSCones. He could help you better on that one.

Dude I really don't know why its not working. Its a simple TGA file? But I do what I can to help.:up:

Gee, I hate to see you turn yourself inside out over this. Still not at my home computer where the install is. I will copy my mod list for you later, but I really don't want you to go through an additional install.
You are a nice feller.

Later.

Make sure the sub your are enabling with JSGME has the right folder contents and not perhaps an extra folder in it somewhere...
