I sure can put my mark on their cute little hats.

Getting ready to start a new career and trying out some new mods in preparation for it - just installed some of Rapt0r's lovely new uniforms and saw there was a choice of emblems included to put on some of the officers caps.

Started looking through them and remembered there was a conning tower emblem already in the game files that I liked, one that looks very much like (and may well be) a Valkyrie's helmet.

Opened it up and using the cap emblem.tga files that Rapt0r included in his mod ("hats off" to Rapt0r for that lovely addition to my game, BTW!) as a reference, managed to tinker it into what I think is a halfway decent cap emblem of my very own!

Now I just have to figure out how to get the original conning tower version on my darn boat. Is there a renown requirement for that, or what? I tried adding one a couple of times during my last career, but I never got an "Are you sure" message to click "OK" to, and nothing ever showed up on the boat in the game... so whatever I needed to "buy" an emblem, I guess I didn't have it yet. Anyway, it's on their caps now and that's pretty cool!

:D

I half expected the game to crash after I put the file in there, lol. But it didn't! Yay me!

Now I just gotta figure out what to do to get it on the conning tower. Then when I sink something we can radio Churchill that one of his ships was just pwned by a grrl.

:O:

BTW,good looking emblem.I myself would like to have Mjolnir (Thor's hammer) on the collars of my officers with the twin SS bolts underneath.

The beards had to come with Rapt0r's Uniforms (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=158173), I didn't make any other changes to the crew's appearance aside from enabling some of his stuff and then adding my own custom emblem.

FK,

For some reason the signature doesn't seem to show up on that first post. Scroll down to his next posts and it should be there.

I downloaded from here: http://www.mediafire.com/Rapt0r

I originally got it from his Filefront link but I tried that 2-3 times and every time I tried to extract the files from the d/l I got an error, don't know if it was a problem with the compressed file itself or with Filefront. Anyway the Mediafire version worked fine.

I'm getting each of them a single matching earring to wear on the other side as a counterweight. Keeps their little heads from tipping over all the time. :O:
