Better looking trident emblem?

[Paul Riley]

Afternoon everyone,hope we are all ok today.

I was wondering if there was a better looking trident emblem anywhere? as the one included in the game looks too 'blocky' and jagged.Or,is there one that displays the god Neptune?,and a better looking Kraken <-- had to squeeze that one in hehe

Thanks.

[Jimbuna]

Which trident emblem and from which boat?

You know,the white coloured one that is in the stock game.I notice there are a few more 'themed' emblems but I kind of like the above one.Not sure which UBoat that would have been from.
I think I may be better downloading an emblem pack here and sifting through them.Do you have any recommendations,and a link?
Would it also be possible for people to make emblems here,and send them in file format through the PM area?,if so the original trident,with cleaner lines and a more golden colour would be great!

Cheers

I like the golden trident but without text.Is that an available emblem? and if so do you have a link for it?
Can we do our own emblems,and is there an info on this process? I suspect it is a case of getting your picture,shrinking it down,somehow converting that image into the correct extension and applying it to the relevant game directory?
Cheers

[Jimbuna]

Convert it to tga using irfanview and put it in your emblems folder.

I idolize the vikings. Much better, and the Vikings might be good to have with you sometimes ... if the opportunity arises, :cool:

[Paul Riley]

Jim,

I am using Irfanview for the first time,have opened my image,and after reading the 'help' section I click on Batch conversion/Rename, how do I now activate the batch process? as nothing happens after that.Also,regarding shrinking the size once its in .TGA format what dimensions should I use for it to fit in the 'emblems' folder?.

Cheers.

[Jimbuna]

Open it up with Irfanview then click on File>Save As and choose TGA.

The image is already at the correct size, simply give it a name and drop it into your Emblems folder.

Jim (or anyone else for that matter),

It looks like i'm ready to put the 'trident' into my 'emblems' folder ,it doesnt matter if the file 'type' is described as 'Irfanview TGA File' does it?,the game should still recognize the file as a legitimate TGA?

Thanks pal.

Jim,

Image 2,the trident,is there a way to crop the image and remove the border within Irfanview,just leaving the trident? I am quite a novice when it comes to image editing.

Cheers mate.

An emblem needs to be a square (10 x 10 or 24 x 24 etc) before it will work/can be used ingame.

I take it you can see the background but IIRC you shouldn't be able to...can you explain a little more?

The only thing I can say is that I managed to get the tga working in the game,but i'm not really happy with the dark background,much prefer the trident on its own.I can see the background if thats what you mean? ;)
Sorry to appear naive,just a little confused with what you just said there.
