[REL] Skin S-Class: A coloured dazzle camo pattern

[ichso]

Hi,

this is another new skin for the sub class I don't use: the S-Class :O:

It refers to this image:
http://www.gotouring.com/razzledazzle/images/dazzle2-600.jpg
At least, it's inspired by it.

The skin is again a weathered version. This time it doesn't change for some late war version, because the usual late war colours are blocked completely be the dazzle pattern.
I also included the oil canning effect again and the little correction to the position of those limber holes I did for my last skin already.
Here are some ingame screenshots:

(Maybe the pattern areas could have been a bit larger).

Hi...pretty cool looking. :yep:

[captgeo]

Good work, keep them comming. Oh and the S-Boats are great fun if you use youre head operating them.

[Rockin Robbins]

What submarine? I can't see it!:har:

[vickers03]

:rock:thanks, amazing work!

[Highbury]

Wow! Amazing ichso, thank you so much!!

[OrangeYoshi]

You just keep them coming constantly don't you? I don't know which one to use now.

[Highbury]

I agree Yoshi, I love them all. But frustration of choice is the best frustration :up:

If there were one more "type" I would like to see before you lose enthusiasm for the Dazzle ichso, it would be one of the black/white striped ones with really angular, erratic patterns. Like the other pic of the West Mahomet, or the French BB Gloire which were posted in the other Dazzle threads. Maybe make that as an "early" to go with this "late" (or vice versa) so you have two nice early/late war dazzle sets. I am just running my fingers and thinking aloud, ignore me if you like heh

BTW, I think your choice of the black/blue/white/grey for this boat, being a pacific one looks great as opposed to the usual yellows etc from these types of patterns in WWI.

[ichso]

Ah, the usual suspects are already here :D

Thank you all very much.

@Highbury:
Where you talking about this one ?

@Highbury:
Where you talking about this one ?

Yeah, although I mistakenly called it a BB, it is a Cruiser. The other one I was referring to was this one:

:D:yeah:

BTW, I just played most of the evening and spent most of it staring at this skin. I don't think I am ever gonna be able to put "No External View" back on with the modders we have around here...:arrgh!:

[ichso]

With such a scheme those ships almost don't look like ships anymore, more like a weirdly formed chunk of metal :rotfl:

[captgeo]

I have not been able to get this skin to work,......hmmmm

[ichso]

Hm, what happens and what doesn't happen ?
Did you just extract the rar file into your mods folder ? Because my data dir in the mod is one directory deeper, maybe this is the problem.

[captgeo]

That must be the problem, how do I fix this ?

I downlaoded it like the rest, put into MOD's file, use JSGME to put into game.

It comes up like ,no skin has been applied.

[Task Force]

Nice skin Ichso.:up:

[Highbury]

I am guessing it is because the folder SKIN_S-boat_Dazzle_ColouredPattern is in there twice. Captgeo, if you extracted it directly to MODS you will have a path that looks like this:

Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\MODS\SKIN_S-boat_Dazzle_ColouredPattern\SKIN_S-boat_Dazzle_ColouredPattern\data

You need to take the data folder and put it in the FIRST Skin_Dazzle.. folder so your path looks like this:

Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\MODS\SKIN_S-boat_Dazzle_ColouredPattern\data

[ichso]

If you extract the rar file, there is a directory 'Skin ...' in it. Inside this directory is another directory with the same name, put that one inside the mods folder.

My mistake for putting it one folder too deeply that time, I apologize.

EDIT: Thanks Highbury, you were faster ;)

[captgeo]

Thank you sir, I will try to get it working . Thanks again for another great skin.:salute:

[captgeo]

No go, followed both instructions, but I am not having any luck, its just me being comp file incompetent

[Highbury]

This rar file is exactly how you need it in your MODS folder, just extract this to SH4\MODS then enable it with JSGME and it should work. I zipped it right from my mods folder and I see the skin just fine in game. :)

Hope you don't mind ichso, nothing has changed in it.

**Edit - I messed up the rar myself first time lol.. fixed after time of this post edit.

[ichso]

lol, no highbury, thanks for cleaning up my mess :yeah:

[captgeo]

If its not too much of a pain, would you fix it up ?

It would make it easier if it was as easy as the others to use.

[ichso]

I re-archivated and re-uploaded the file and edited the link into the initial post.

[captgeo]

Thank you kind sir. !!:up:
