FADM Gryphon's Unorthodox Naval Shipyard

[FADM Gryphon]

I figured if I am going to start skinning I ought to have a name for the site where I will place the skins I make or edit for others. Below is the splash screen teaser for the first skin I have made since returning. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to get the read me text finished and the skin all zipped up and ready for download.

Outstanding. You're going to make me reinstall sh4 to see these.. Thanks.

[FADM Gryphon]

Anyone have suggestions for my second skin to work on?

[donna52522]

Can you make customized conning tower art that is JSGME ready?

I have no clue how to make those..TMO2.2 has an alternate mod with one, but it's not to my taste.

A SS-383 USS Pampanito skin. My boat...

The suggestion of a conning tower art mod, compatible with JSGME, is welcome, too!

Great work, I´m waiting your uploads.

Best regards.

Hmm pink.... Operation Petty Coat classic movie. Question what class submarine is the USS Tiger?

[razark]

Hmm pink.... Operation Petty Coat classic movie. Question what class submarine is the USS Tiger?
Balao, I suppose. She was played by three different ones in the movie, but the setting of the movie was way too early for a Balao.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Sea_Tiger
The Sea Tiger in the movie was portrayed by three different American Balao-class submarines:

* Queenfish (SS-393), in the opening and closing scenes (circa 1959), in which the "393" on the conning tower is visible,
* Archerfish (SS-311), for all the WWII scenes where the boat was painted the standard gray and black,
* Balao (SS-285), for all the scenes in which Sea Tiger was painted pink.

What class do you want it to be? And no guarantees I can pull this off with out help.

[Sledgehammer427]

Welcome back Gryph! :salute:

It looks like the sub is supposed to be a Balao. But it wouldn't be too difficult to port the paint work over to a Gato, if people want that as well.

I need a crash course in S3D again have nodes that need moved for my skin. What voice coms do you use again?

[Sledgehammer427]

all sorts nowadays

I will warn you though, its been a long while since I've even dabbled in SH4 stuff

[donna52522]

A Seatiger skin would be great for my fav boat, the Gato class. In fact i'd run that in any class...being female it would suit me well.

As for a tower mod, I was thinking of a Bewitched animation from the tv show, i will try to find one, but instead of her sitting on her broom it would nice if she could be riding a torpedo....you may not be aware of that US late 1960's tv show.

Found one, but would only like her, not the writing or buildings....don't even need a torpedo. I may be able to find a better one.

Gato Class rgr. Bewitched riding Torp. Gotcha. I was born in the early seventies and watch the show's reruns.

How's this for the logo for the Conning tower?

@ Gryphon:

The Stingray conning tower looks great, but it has the damn classic problem with the texture:

http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/4700/sh4img20110812092403801.jpg

The same problem is in the Kill Flags Mod.

I use TMO 22, and with the TMO Emblem submod, I haven´t the problem. It will be great discover a solution with that odd texture in the conning tower.

About the Sea Tiger, from Wikipedia:

"USS Sea Tiger was a fictional submarine presumably named for the barracuda. No vessel of the United States Navy has been given that name, but the 1959 movie Operation Petticoat, starring Cary Grant and Tony Curtis, and the short-lived 1977-1978 television series of the same name, were set aboard a fictional Sea Tiger. According to the movie's dialogue, Sea Tiger was commissioned in 1940.
The name may come from the actual WWII-era submarine USS Sealion (SS-195), which like its film counterpart, was sunk at the pier at Cavite Navy Yard, the Philippines, on 10 December 1941 with the loss of 5 crewmembers.
The Sea Tiger in the movie was portrayed by three different American Balao-class submarines:
Queenfish (SS-393), in the opening and closing scenes (circa 1959), in which the "393" on the conning tower is visible,

That Bewitched emblem looks great, would that go on the front of the tower or both sides?

Sorry the skin is ffor a Balao class submarine. If you want it in a different class. Please name the class.

[FADM Gryphon]

Unorthodox Naval Shipyard's second skin the USS SEAWITCH (SS-1692). CAPT donna52522 here's a pic of your boat in the game.

[FADM Gryphon]

Just a note the skins I have done so far are balao class submarine skins.

[FADM Gryphon]

If anyone can teach me how to make the texture for the skin on the sub I will be able to make the USS SEATIGER next.

[fitzcarraldo]

Sorry the skin is ffor a Balao class submarine. If you want it in a different class. Please name the class.

I put the skin in the Balao Class, no other.

Many thanks and regards.

No Problem it was fun to make. A side note was that I had to get help to screen capture the stringray logo from the DVD as there was none with a straight on shot of it on the web.

[FADM Gryphon]

Thank you Capt :salute:. Thinking of doing a USS Gryphon. I also need to experiment with the other classes of submarines. As well as taking all the grey surfaces and making them pink to do a USS SEATIGER from Operation PETTICOAT. I can make the grey surfaces pink but I lose all the textures in the dds file that makes it look like metal.

[fitzcarraldo]

I don´t know if the problem is TMO. Maybe the skins don't work in that mod.

Best regards.

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

[FADM Gryphon]

No the skins work with TMO. It's a matter of skinning I am not familiar with.

[FADM Gryphon]

Capt Donna your Pink USS Seawitch (SS-1692) is complete.
Note to all. If you use TMO2.2 install my skin after TMO2.2 otherwise TMO will overwrite the skin files.

I have figured out how to make the emblems finally so if you want i emblem instead of a full skin. Let me know and I will see what I can do for the users of TMO2.2

Only you must make the emblems with the TMO Sample Emblem (in the folder "documentation"- "optionals" of TMO 2). That sample has the dimensions for the emblems, and is JSGME friendly.

With the Sample Emblem in TMO 22, I have not the problem of textures in conning tower.

This is the TMO 2 (working on TMO 22) Sample Emblem, with default image. Also, the mod adds some kill flags.

So I guess it works on Tambor/Gar, Gato, and Balao boats.....wonder if it works on S-Boats, P-Class, and Salmon/Sargo as well?

Yes I make your emblem zip it up and replace the tmo emblem while with the one I make.

[FADM Gryphon]

When she was a tourist attraction in Seattle, I had taken a tour aboard her. Being she is based a the last uboat design. I am thinking of making a uboat skin to reflect her.

She's Kaput

[FADM Gryphon]

She's Kaput

The submarine or your computer?

[FADM Gryphon]

So the Submarine is coated pink. Per the customers request they want black decks and black below the water line. I am unsure as to what part of the skin needs to be black. Help?

Well here is what I have figured out so far.
