Skin Request

[WilhelmSchulz.]

I have a skin for the IXB U-Boat. Its nice but one thing is wrong. The skin is suposed to represent U-124, but its missing the Boats emblim.

Here are screenes of the skin.

Can someone make both versions of U-124 of her under Schulz's command and Mohr?

[Dowly]

It's been included in GWX for ages, mate. ;)

[Penelope_Grey]

Those emblems are included with GWX 2 Wilhelm. :up:

[Madox58]

Tarjak will be releaseing a emblem pack that should have the side
emblem.

The foreward center is another matter.
One would need to add an object to the Turms dat file and do some hex work
so you could place a tga in the Textures/TNormal/tex folder
to override a tga placed in the dat.

Simple really.

[WilhelmSchulz.]

You guys are over simplyfing the request. Its not that the emblims are not in the game its that the sigs are in the wrong place and only one sig can be chosen at a time. I just want the skin re-worked to imcorprate the emblims.

Here is the origonal skin by wolfehunter.

[Madox58]

If the objects that control the side emblems are dropped down and back abit
while adding the foreward object?
All objectives would be met, correct?

Well yes. :hmm: But the skin would be easyer.

[Madox58]

Not really.
You would need to Re-Uv map the Turm or one emblem would show backwards,
and then there is a major problem Uv mapping the front of the Turm.
Much simplier to shuffle things in the dat.

[WilhelmSchulz.]

Well Even with the emblims now one side is backward.

[Madox58]

Which Turm are you useing?
I'll look at it.

[WilhelmSchulz.]

Turm 1 type IX but it occures with all of types of towers.

Also the side emlim might have to be enlarged a bit.

[Madox58]

I've already done the side parts on the Turm.
;)
I'll insert the needed stuff for the front emblem over the next couple days
then YOU can test it. OK?
:lol:

SH3 has limitations. We can't have it all. Some sacrifices are accepted in this game. Untill a magician pulls magic out of his hers hat.:yep:

[Madox58]

Don't worry.
The 3rd spot has been added.
It's really quite simple to do once you learn how the dats work.
This kind of thing has been requested many times.
No one wanted to do it, so I will.
Kinda like some other stuff I started BKH.

[Madox58]

You will select the side emblems as usual.
To activate the front, center?
Create a emblem and place it, with proper nameing, in
Textures/TNormal/tex
If i were to make it any easier, you would be the magician!!!

[WilhelmSchulz.]

You can use a existing emblem right?

[Madox58]

You mean like this?

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n12/privateer_2006/Modded.jpg

Yes.
Just copy it and place in the tex folder and rename it.
This is a rendering from Deep X
In game the brown does not show.

[Jimbuna]

That's another first you can chalk up matey http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

[bigboywooly]

Moose
You know you will have to do them all now right

:rotfl:

And make sure you are using the correct turms ;)

Reminds me of the term 'making a rod for one's own back' http://imgcash1.imageshack.us/img144/6817/whip2mv0.gif

If anyone can, privateer can http://imgcash6.imageshack.us/img232/3115/fixedma2.gif http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n12/privateer_2006/Modded.jpg



Yes! Now the size of the emblims is determined by the emblme tga or by hex?

[Madox58]

And here's your in Game shot.

[Madox58]

Easy enuff to fix.

[Mush Martin]

Well done brudda nice work :up:

[Madox58]

Judgeing from the pics in the first post,
I'd say the side emblem is pretty close.
The foreward emblem was closer the first time.
It's a simple matter to edit the tgas to suit ones tastes.
Opens up a whole new area for the artistic types.
:rock:

[WilhelmSchulz.]

now, the frog should be up a little bit and also a bit darker.. but the edelweiss has still be a little larger and a bit lower :D
Oh quit beeing picky! Its(the Frog) fine the way it was the first time. And the Edelweiss is just right.

:nope:

its not accurate. it needs to be a tad lower and the frog a tad higher

Ensure you get the right frog :rotfl:

[Madox58]

OK, I took you off the list.
If you want to help test?
ASK!
Be nice.
Sometimes you come off the wrong way.
Put the Monster Drinks down!
And step away!!!
:rotfl:

[WilhelmSchulz.]

Why where some posts deleted? :-?

[Madox58]

Somebody was being a pain and I think he deleted them
after I put him on my ignore list.
I removed him from the list but?
Meh.
Play nice or stay home.
Could you send me a link to the skin you are useing?
I'll do the final prep and contact you by PM for test runs.

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

the skinn is Wolfehunter's U-124 skinn (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=122324) based on a picture i provided him, and yes i deleted my posts :shifty:

[Madox58]

Very, um, Adult of you.
Some of us work very hard at real jobs,
then spend hours trying to advance things here.
All you need do is ask nicely and things seem to get done.
Being a younger guy, you haven't seemed to learn yet.
You catch more flies with Honey,'than with Vinager!!
Now, if you would like to try this out?
Be nice and wait a bit.
OK?

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

[Madox58]

You don't need to stay away.
i would prefer you stay infact.
I have all the needed things in place.
Its a new way of doing a few things
that will grant many what they have asked for
many times.
Would you like to try it?

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]
