Hello Sub Simmers,

I'm rather new to these sims and I am trying to put the SH3 AI Titanic, Lusitania and Aquatania into SH4 since I can't seem to find existing downloads. I have succeeded in getting the models and data to carry over but none of them bring their textures. Does anybody know what I need to do get their textures into SH4? I have tried converting the Tga files to DDS 1 like most seem to be in SH4 but all I have is solid white models.

Thanks and happy simming.

I'm very vague on that sort of thing, so I'm no help at all. I just wanted to say

WELCOME ABOARD! :sunny:

some files and folders in sh4 have different names then in sh3 so it wont be able to find them to use them unless you rename them correctly.

open up some mods that add ships and see how the folders are named and see where the differences are.

there are other things to do aswell such as adding them to the roster so the game puts them in randomly

Thanks so much Fitzcarraldo. After a lot of trial and error and trying one thing with and without others. I finally got her textures to load. Same with the Aquitania, although her textures look kinda bad. It's liveable. I'm trying to copy what I can from the Iowa download her to see if I can get Titanic playable now.

Thanks again!

I got Titanic to show up in my sub roster as playable, but every time I go to load a single mission I get a CTD. Anybody have any ideas? I've been using the Iowa as a stencil.
