Big request-U-67 "The Ram" emblem

[Sepp von Ch.]

Hello,

I have a big request. PLEASE, has somebody the Ram U-67 emblem for IXC Boat? I downloaded probably all emblem mods, but I could not find it. I found only the first U-67 emblem http://s18.postimage.org/6kd2t5eed/U_67.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/6kd2t5eed/)
, but that does not interest me.

Seeking a this ram-emblem:

This ram emblem is desrcibed so: blue circle with yellow star in the centre and/or red point star with read streamers below a silver bucking ram or goat


I tried also to create this ram-emblem for IXC, but I did not manage it:wah:

I use this mod Aces' Super, Dupah, Woopah Turms (inc. Super Turms v6) for GWX - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1673696&postcount=1.

Can someone talented hel me please?

Im not talented but I'll give it a try. I couldnt find it on the internet either so I would just go off the second image you provided. If you have Photoshop or gimp it should be pretty straight forward to do yourself. Do you want it to be a flotilla emblem or an award emblem?

What I do is open an existing emblem in photoshop to get the image dimensions. U-67 was in 2nd flotilla, for example. That image is the data/emblem/flotilla folder. That image is 64x64 pixels. The background color will be transparent which I think in this case is grey. I then opened the image you provided and used a select wand to paint the star red with touch up using the paint brush. Then I used a white paint brush to remove "u-67" and the shading around the ram. Going back to the 2nd flotilla emblem I get the color of the background and set it to the photoshop's foreground color. Then I go back to the custom emblem and use the select wand to select all the white space background and fill it with the new foreground color.

Then I resized the image to 64x64 and dragged it overtop the open 2nd flotilla emblem and merged layers. This helps with getting the correct compression or whatever (24bit I think). Then save it with a new filename.

You can do the same process using a different existing emblem which may have different dimensions. You can also do a better job with editing the image. If you use it as a flottilla emblem, you define the emblem in the flotilla.cfg file in the cfg folder. I don't know about the award emblems though.

I have saved it as u-67.tga here: http://www.danreavey.net/files/u-67.tga


NOTE: What the crap happened to my profile picture?

That one comes at post #179 and goes again at post #180. If you had placed your note in a new post it would already be gone. :sunny:

Glad you like it HW3. I have made a second version which is 128x128 instead of 64x64 and tried to clean up the lines a bit better. It is named u-67b.tga so if you want to replace the other file just rename it to u-67.tga.

It is available here: http://www.danreavey.net/files/u-67b.tga

I also have the Gott Mit Uns eagle that I use on my boat which is 128x128. Below is a screenshot. The image is just from wikipedia, I just removed the swastika.

Many thanks for the 128 x 128 version:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:!

The 64 x 64 version is what is used for the turms your way mod by Privateer. It doesn't show very well in my screenshots above but, I have the 2nd Flottille emblem on the front of the turm along with the U-67 type IXC ram emblem on each side.
