wow!:o
no ****... they look much more alive than any ones i have seen so far.:D
SHINING with colours.:sunny:

these men have not been at sea for a while, but look more like stranded in the carribean on extended holiday.:rock:

except the first, third and last one from the lower row. classic wolves...

[Sailor Steve]

Unless I'm mistaken, those are painted models; and very, very good ones.

My favorites are still the Das Boot ones, but I like to collect them and it's always nice to have options. In fact, now that I think of it, I think I'll go see if SH3 Commander's randomizer will let me be surprised by which set of faces I get with each load...:hmm:

Thanks for sharing those, Lutzow; and thanks to Thorn for giving permission.

[wildchild]

look's good bddy think ill D/L them:up:

[Paul Riley]

I agree,these faces look great.
I have just downloaded the file,and I am now wondering how I actually activate them,or to be more precise how the game activates them,as the faces havent changed.I have tried installing them mid patrol,I am not sure if this is possible or advisable,can it only be done pre-patrol?.
This is how I tried installing it:
1: I deleted the old ofaces files,replacing with these new ones.
2: I also tried an overwriting method,overwriting the originals with these.
NOTE: I have made a backup of the ofaces folder just in case.

Sorry if I appear naive.I have played SHIII since its release and quite extensively,but I am new to modding thats all :-?
I have the stock 1.4b version of the game.

Thanks for the help :up:

[lutzow]

Do You have JSGME [Jone Soft Game Mod Enabler] installed ?

This is the easiest way;)

And golden advice : Enable all mods when You are safe in Your port.
After mission.

Sea is dangerous - especially in Silent Hunter 3.

[danurve]

Might have to check this out. :cool:

Although, looking at the example picture in the first post, Top Row -

The guy 2nd from the right kind of creeps me out. :huh:

[Paul Riley]

lutzow,afraid not no,but I could download it sometime,I just dont want to risk ruining my current campaign,not too sure what to and what not to install at the moment.I DO however have a few minor mods installed,like improved smoke,better flags/emblems and so on.

danurve,I have to agree,he does look bloody weird,he looks more like Max Schreck who played Nosferatu in the original german silent :rotfl:
There are a few I particularly like and they appear more seasoned and battle hardened,such as:
top row 2nd,I love the pipe :arrgh!:
top row 3rd he looks older and wiser,and at least has a full beard
top row last,that is a dead ringer for my man Rommel!
and bottom 3rd is a cracker,he looks just like a young Doenitz.I think this one looks the best.

[Wolfehunter]

I think they look great. That artist has amazing tallent.:rock:

[pkl75]

Could someone also make similar looking faces for the actual animated officers? Is it possible in SH3?

[Ivan Putski]

I think you`re spot on Sailor Steve, they`re painted models, avery good job indeed. Puts:up:

[mainexpress]

Hi I downloaded these and enabled them via JSGME, but i dont see them in the orders bar,I only see them in the crew and damage management screen, is it supposed to be that way or do you see them in the orders bar also?

[DR_Woody]

I tried it and I love this little mod. Thanks a lot :up:

:hmm:


they do not appear in the officer icons bar all three sets of icons released by Thorn do not change the bar only the managment screens :up:

if you wanted to you could always place the officers you have selected in the officer orders bar by editing SH3 officer icons

Ok Then lets talk you through it …..First open your local disk C (your hard drive) then open program files then the Ubisoft folder… then open silent hunter 3 folder when its open you should see a folder called Data open this one….. look down the list until you find the Menu folder and open it then the Gui folder and finally the Layout folder …………..in this folder you should find a TGA file called OfficerA this is a picture of the officer icons that the game uses so copy this file out into a work folder in your documents so as to protect the game files if you mess up. You can now work on the TGA file if you have a program that can edit this kind of file if not you will need to change it to bmp or a Jpeg now you are half way there..

Next open the file officer icons by thorn and remove the officer pictures file from there again you need to edit this so as you now have all the officer pictures as singles ( so you can place them on the officerA picture). Windows paint can be used to place the icons on the officerA bar it helps if you re-size each icon so as the first size indicator reads 41mm at this size they will fit without reducing them while placing them as this can cause the icon to appear fuzzy

Then all you have to do is paste them onto the OfficerA picture replacing the picture that is already there and there you go done once you have finished and save it back into your work folder and don’t forget to change it back into a TGA file you can now work on the Thorns officer mod folder ………

Open the folder then click on the data folder then Menu on the right hand side of the screen you should now see just a folder called data …..click any ware on the screen and add a new folder and call it Gui ..
Then open the Gui folder and add a new folder and call it Layout
Open the Layout folder and place the new OfficerA TGA file into it
Then go back to the SH3 folder and from were you got the officerA TGA look below it and copy the OfficerB TGA into your new Layout file also.
There you go done
Sub notes …….if you are using Vista you will have to copy the Off faces by thorn folder into you work folder as well then once completed copy it back into the Mods folder ( don’t forget to disable the mod and the re-able it so as the changes can take effect). Happy Modding and good luck and I hope to see some new Officer icons from you soon Bye for now
Pps if you don’t make it I will still do it for you just ask Ok :up:

the second paragraph .....if you open the folders in off faces by thorn you will find a folder called ofaces. this folder contains a Jpeg of all the faces used and also there are individual pictures as well so if you want you can use those....if you use the jpeg you need to crop out and resize each face as above :up:

you dont have to use windows paint if you have a diffrent progam that can do this then use that :yep: .......all you do is open the officerA picture then use paste from option to place the cropped faces onto the officerA picture ;)
