These are sets of images to replace the sailor photo on the desk in the office. Images have been resized, then either cropped, or had padding added top and bottom or on the sides to meet the SH4 size requirement, then converted to the required TGA format. These files ONLY work with the American Career when using the U-boat Add-on. The German office uses a different directory and image size.

These files are set up to be used with my SH4 Randomizer, or Digital Trucker's A Girl In Every Port program.

Files which say "some slight nudity" means either naked backsides, or nudity with the "naughty bits" not visible. Usually both types are in a given set.

Except for the modern era girls, images are from WWII era actresses or artists. I've tried to not include images that are blatantly so, however some images are post-war.

All files include a readme.txt, which includes more information and instructions on using the images without AGIEP. They also include a thumbnail image file which you can also view by clicking the following link:

NOTE: The thumbnails are on my MediaFire account. For the larger images, you will have to download them to see them properly.

Captain's Desk Photos 1

32 black & white pictures (no nudes) of modern day model and self-proclaimed "Most downloaded woman on the Internet," Danni Ashe. Images were originally in color, but for a bit of "realism" I dropped them down to grayscale.

Captain's Desk Photos 2

32 black & white pictures (no nudes) of modern day model & late night premium cable actress Shannan Leigh. Images were originally in color, but for a bit of "realism" I dropped them down to grayscale.

Captain's Desk Photos 3

50 black & white pictures (no nudes) of modern day burlesque star and model Dita Von Teese. Her look is based on 1940s style, so she's a natural for this. Images were originally in color, but for a bit of "realism" I dropped them down to grayscale.

Captain's Desk Photos 41

80 black and white and color art pictures (some slight nudity) by various artists of 1950s pin-up queen Bettie Page. Since her photograph set is by far the most popular set I've done, I thought y'all might like some art based on or inspired by her photos.

Not being subject to FAA regs, Santa only uses Rudolph in bad weather. And as can be clearly seen, it's only partly cloudy.

(Do you realize that after RDP changes his sig back after Christmas, no one's going to know what the heck we're talking about? :huh: )

Two more sets added. See the first post for details.

For my next set, I'm considering something different. Pics of some male participants in the war. Stuff like FDR, Nimitz, Admiral Lockwood, MacArthur (for the Australia based boats. If you were there, you were ultimately under Doug), maybe some of the more famous sub skippers.

Sound good, or should I stick to the hot babes?

Darn, I must be getting old (don't say anything) I'm getting behind in filling up my Captain'sGirls folder to the overflowing point :rotfl: Thanks for putting these together, dude:up:

As for your question, my answer would be the same as my answer to just about any other question "Why not?". I'm sure that some folks would like to have a famous face sitting on their desk. And, who knows, there might be a lady or two out there playing this game:yep:

In my opinion, in RL there is no way that there would be a picture on a desk of a Male!!! On the office wall, the military often has and/or requires, that an official picture(s) of the superiors in the chain-of-command be hung...FDR, Admiral King, CINCPAC Nimitz, SubRon Commander, etc,etc...But NEVER, ever, on the desk. That would always be a 'personal' pic of a loved one...family, GF, wife, fantasy celeb movie star, etc etc etc...
...imho and experience...

P.S. Thanks for your MOD. I use the Veronica Lake pack and it's always fun to enter the office to see what the next photo of her will be.

That's why I started doing this. The stock photo is of a sailor...

A male sailor...

Not even a WAVE...

And to top it all off, he's not even an officer!!

My question to UBI is, "What's up with that???"

Really though, I thought it might make a nice change of pace. And also allow some "hero worship" as it were.

My bad, readme:

If you don't have GIEP, or prefer to manually install the picture, extract the files, choose the one you want, rename it to "picture.tga" then copy/move it to the Data\CaptainPicture folder. Before changing the picture, you may wish to copy the original someplace so you can restore it.

Thats all ya need to do.

:D

I have no idea how to do a mod, but what if we want to insert a single photo of our choosing--say a girlfriend or wife?

My wife--who gave me SH4 as a gift and loves that I'm loving it--is kidding me about putting her photo on the desk. Any ideas on how to do this?

Perhaps a small mod that accepts a photo?

The guts of what I'm asking are probably right here, just need to know how to do it. Can anyone offer any help / tips / point in the right direction?

Many thanks!
Just take the image and resize it to 512x626. If doesn't go down, or up, to that exact size, you will either have to crop the excess or add padding to it to get to those diminsions. Then save it as a TGA file called "picture.tga" and put it in the CaptainPicture folder of your SH4 install.

The thumbnails are now available for viewing before you download the file. My ISP gives me 100MB of space for my personal web site, and since I haven't even used a tenth of it I decided to put the thumbnails there instead of using one of those image hosting sites. So now you can see what you'll be getting without having to download the file first.

remind me again, which section has the baywatch girls :hmmm:

keep up the good work fred, sh5 is supposed to be a very simular file structure so its very likely we'll be able to adapt most non AI related sh4 mods for uboats in sh5

I started to say none, since silicone wasn't in use back then. But then I remembered my Shannan Leigh set. :o

Won't matter to me if it's U-boats only, as I'll never play it. Now if some kind of Pacific Aces deal comes along though...

I never had a Catherine Bell set. After the first three sets, I limited myself to wartime actresses and artists. Only exception was the Bettie Page set, which was sort of by popular demand as well a tribute following her death.

As for the women in uniform, that's a great idea. I almost picked one of the two Mynra Loy pics with her in a uniform for the thumbnail here. But I just liked the one I ended up using too much.

Let's take this a step further shall we? Go to:

http://www.yearbookyourself.com/

and insert a picture of yourself, your spouse and or S.O. into a vintage picture from Josten's yearbook. The free program alows for multiple adjustments and conversion from color to b&w. The results can range from believable to hysterical.:rotfl2:

Here's mine for example:
