Trouble with textures

[Navarxos]

Hi. I got a small problem with installing new skins in the game. I used JGSME to install the USS Thresher skin for Tambor class. The overall sub look changed a lot, but the thresher shark and the jap flags never appear on the tower. Anyway, whatever skin i choose to install, the whole sub changes, but whatever thing is painted on the tower in the textures, they dont appear in the game. I have 1.4 with TM and RSRDC. I test the textures with quick missions on all available dates with Tambor class subs and nothing changes. Also, I select and deselect all the time the "use normal textures on ships" (or something like that) in the graphic options and restart the quick missions but no changes. I cant see anything painted on the tower of my Tambor! Help me if you can please...

Try disabling TM, then run a single mission and see if the emblem appears. If you downloaded from the submarine section at battleflags.net, then there wouldn't be any flags anyway.

Discussion and a solution to the problem that I think is causing this is at http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=867808#post867808 in the Killflags thread.

So here is the deal...I deactivated TM and started SH4 with my skin on a quick mission. The skin appeared normally! Then I saw the post you linked me which talked about a slightly different situation (it was a Gato sub mine is a Tambor class). The thing is that i opened all 3 data files in the objects section of the mod(Conning_Tambor_01-3). I changed all texture names to blah blah_T02.tga. And nothing happened. The same problem is there :doh: . I am thinking of deactivating again the TM mod, and cutting off the Tambor model itself from the mod, and everything Tambor related in the objects sub folder of the mod. When i reinstall it then, I will have all stock Tambor stuff and maybe the texture will work properly...:shifty: . But this is my last resort. I would prefer to have the modded Tambor but fixed in textures...

No, don't go taking the Tambor out of TM, that would defeat a lot of the changes made.
I don't have the 1.4 version of TM, so I'll have to download it and take a look at the files to get you a definitive answer. I'll get back to you ASAP.

I knew something sounded familiar about this problem:rotfl:In this post by Duci ( http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=826375&postcount=783 ) he outlined the changes that would cause us "discomfort". I'll download the 1.4 version just to make sure I understand what's happening and have a fix for you later on today.

Jesus dont tell me you did that! I just de activated TM and switched it with RFB. I like RFB more in many aspects(I can use NSM with it yay!:know: ).
But now with RFB i can use my new texture. Here she is: USS Barracuda. The skin is FooBor's Minor Weathered skin with a part of a USS Tuna skin.

But if you want, you can go on. In that way many should know how to fix this problem with Trigger Maru.

But thanks anyway for your great interest in my problem ;) .

OK, I won't tell you that I did that:rotfl:, but.......... I needed to do it anyway, so I'd be prepared the next time the question came up.:up:

Nice emblem on the skin, BTW. :rock:

As far as the 1.4 version of TM goes, the easiest solution to the problem is to make copies of the T01 and T02 textures in the sub skin and rename the copies to the same name as the Gato tower textures since the TM Tambor (and Gar, too, I think) use Gato towers during parts of the war.
