New TORPEDO textures (Torpedo Pack Release 1)

[Marhkimov]

***EDIT, Oct 5***

Even if you downloaded my previous torpedo skins, these are newer and might suit you better. For one, they are less flat looking and are more SHINY!

This mod will replace those bland default torpedo textures with sleeker and more polished ones. There are currently three different types of installations to choose from: All silver torpedoes, silver steams with copper electrics, and silver steams with yellow electrics. Each install even has it's own matching torpedo icons (i.e. for the weapon management screen).

CHANGES, ADDITIONS (TORPEDO PACK RELEASE 1):

1. Description of the different torpedo color choices
SilverAll - All of the torp hulls are metallic silver.
CopperELEC - Steam torps have metallic silver hulls, while electrics have copper hulls.
YellowELEC - Steam torps have metallic silver hulls, while electrics have yellow hulls.

2. You can tell the difference between each torpedo by the color of the warhead.
Silver - TI G7a
Brass - TII G7e
Blue - TIFaTI_G7a
Green - TIIIFaTII_G7e
Red - TIV_G7es
*Note: Improved variants of the same torpedoes use the same texture (i.e. the TIV, TV and TXI acoustics all use the red tipped warheads)

3. The torpedo icons (in both the torpedo loading screen and career loadout screen) have been updated to match with their corresponding torpedo colors.

Please, comments are welcomed. :D

[Marhkimov]

Oh crap... WRONG BOARD!

can a moderator please help me????

I meant to post in the SH3 Mod Workshop.

[darksythe]

lol i thought those looked a little odd to fit my Kula II :P they do look nice though good work :D

[Bill Nichols]

Okay, I've moved it to where it belongs.

[andy_311]

How about a skin for the TXI-G7es I use them a lot in the later war years?

[OneTinSoldier]

Some expert might be come along and give some constructive critisim, but I think they look great just the way they are! :up:

Cheers,

OneTinSoldier

[gdogghenrikson]

looks good

[CWorth]

With the absence/ignoring of tankeriv with his torpedoes these look great and I would surely use these when released.

And dont worry about some accuracy nitpickers who may come in..make em the way you like em I always say and to heck with the rest.

[martes86]

Look very nice those torps. :up:

[Marhkimov]

How about a skin for the TXI-G7es I use them a lot in the later war years?

I'm fairly certain that the TXI G7es uses the same textures as the TIV G7es... They are both red head torpedoes.



BTW, I could possibly make the torpedoes look more shiny. I dunno... Is there anyone out there who thinks that they're too bland???

[The Avon Lady]

These look impressive and seem to reflect actual colors that were used for german torpedoes. :up:

[Marhkimov]

As always, suggestions are welcome...

[The Avon Lady]

As always, suggestions are welcome...
I suggest you release them. :yep:

[rulle34]

I suggest you release them. :yep:

I agree, release them. They looks real and very nice. :up:

[Marhkimov]

Ok, ok... Good suggestions, I will release them... LOL :rotfl:

Well, as soon as terrapin gets his site up and running again... Terrapin or bust, right???

Wrong!

Try RapidShare (http://rapidshare.de/) or YouSendIt (http://www.yousendit.com/).

Then once I get hold of a copy, I'll upload a permanent mirror of it to my FileFront account. :yep:

[Marhkimov]

Oh wow! RapidShare is SUPER easy. I guess it's not terrapin or bust... sorry buddy...

here it is:
http://rapidshare.de/files/5549376/Marhkimov_s_Torpedo_Textures.rar.html

You have my permission to do your thing Avon Lady... :yep:

[The Avon Lady]

Here's the mirror:

Marhkimov's Torpedo Textures mod (http://www.filefront.com/?filepath=/theofpfaq/sh3/SH3_Mod_MarhkimovsTorpedoTextures.rar).

I also removed the unnecesary THUMBS.DB file in the DOCUMENTATION subfolder.

[Syxx_Killer]

These look great! I look forward to using them! :cool: :up: :up:

Will these torpedoes show up in the loadout screen back at base? I was copying the TMSTor00 file for your mod to the right directory and noticed a TMSTor001 file. What is that for?

[The Avon Lady]

If I'm not mistaken, the exact same small torp pics are used both in the base UBoat display and in the "I" weapons screen.

[CWorth]

Will you be doing the TypeVII_G7ut.tga torpedo file?

This is the only one not done in the mod...the rest look great.

[Dowly]

I love those! Thanks!

[martes86]

Mod No.199 to the list. :up:

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Nice work Markhimov. :up:

[Marhkimov]

Will these torpedoes show up in the loadout screen back at base? I was copying the TMSTor00 file for your mod to the right directory and noticed a TMSTor001 file. What is that for?

Both screens use the TMSTor00 file... As far as as I know of, the TMSTor001 file doesn't do anything...


Will you be doing the TypeVII_G7ut.tga torpedo file?

This is the only one not done in the mod...the rest look great.

I know the texture is in the game, but I have yet to see this torpedo. I'm not sure, but it was probably left unfinished when the game shipped (big surprise, huh?)... Nice one, devs...

[Syxx_Killer]

Ok, thanks. :)

Could that be the T11 or G11? I don't remember what the torpedo was called but remember reading about it somewhere quite a while back.

[AG124]

If it was left unfinished, could someone here finish it? :hmm:

[Marhkimov]

If it was left unfinished, could someone here finish it? :hmm:

hmmm... not my area of expertise, but with all of the cloning that has been going on recently, I'm sure some modder could possibly do it.

But then I personally don't know, do we really need more torpedoes, though? We already have the workhorses, T1 and T2's... Plus our other gimick torps...

[Marhkimov]

I saw someone post this in another thread...

is it possible to write "Hello X1!" on the torpedos?

ps
wrong thread, the question is for marhkimov, sorry.

HAHAHAHAHA, that's hilarious!! As much as I am tempted to do so, I will leave the "X1 greeting" up to someone else... :lol:

BTW, due to texturing issues, it is not very feasible to write on the body of the torpedo, but I imagine it can be done on the warhead.

[squeak]

nice mod :up:

[Syxx_Killer]

Ok, I think I know what the TMSTor001 file is for now. When I started the game for a test run of the mod, I went to the sub loadout screen. As you see in the screenshot the torpedo "preview" is still the stock version. Could you change that? :cool:

[Marhkimov]

Oh, good find Syxx_Killer. My mistake for missing it... I'll have an update up and running in a few hours (possibly). Currently I'm at school... In class... LOL :lol:

[Syxx_Killer]

I'll have an update up and running in a few hours (possibly).

Awesome! Look forward to it! :yep:

[Flakwalker]

Great. :)

Just a suggestion: can be, as optional, have the electric torpedoes with the body on metallic cooper?, just to difference from the gas/steam ones.

[Marhkimov]

Just a suggestion: can be, as optional, have the electric torpedoes with the body on metallic cooper?, just to difference from the gas/steam ones.

To differentiate between steam/electric is easy. Silver and blue tips are steam... all the rest are electric.

But if you reaaaaally want copper/brass/bronze bodied torpedoes to more easily differentiate between gas and electric, I suppose I could do that... The only reason I didn't already do so was because I really like silver torpedoes. That's just my aesthetic input...


**BTW**
Avon Lady, could you also update your FileFront mirror download... v.1.1 is the current file... Thanks!

[Pascal]

You are very close to the reality & most important your work is good !
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/startup56/torp.jpg

[Syxx_Killer]

I played with the mod for the first time. It is awesome! I like to look at the TII's now, but that means I actually have to carry them. :lol:

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

That's the funniest thing I heard all day long, because coincidentally I was thinking the same exact thing... Except that I already love to carry TII's. I get to look at them all day long AND be happy at the same time!

Done!

Here's the mirror:

Marhkimov's Torpedo Textures mod (http://www.filefront.com/?filepath=/theofpfaq/sh3/SH3_Mod_MarhkimovsTorpedoTextures.rar). Same link as before.

I once again removed the unnecesary THUMBS.DB file in the DOCUMENTATION subfolder. I also corrected the folder structure. You had the mod embedded in 2 folders, rather than one, for some odd reason.

[Marhkimov]

Hmm... You're right... I don't know why it did that. I tested the download link earlier today and it was working just fine... Strange


***EDIT*** Problem solved.

[BladeHeart]

Oh wow! RapidShare is SUPER easy. I guess it's not terrapin or bust... sorry buddy...

The problem with rapidshare is that some of us cannot access the downloads because of our ISP.
Terrapin does a great job with the Real U-boat simulation site

[Marhkimov]

If you can't use rapidshare, The Avon Lady has a FileFront download mirror.

Also, I have uploaded my torpedo textures to terrapin's site. They should be up and running shortly... :D

[Type941]

:up: :up: Job well done!

[wdq4587]

>>BTW, I could possibly make the torpedoes look more shiny. I dunno... Is there anyone out there who thinks that they're too bland???

Yes, these torpedoes looks more like in air not in dark water.
Sorry for I had to say that. It's too bright in water.

[Captain Strangelove]

Pascal.

Where is that photo from? Looks like a very interesting museum!

Thanks

[ICBM]

Curious, wheren't torpedoes smeared in grease to helpt reduce the drag and get in in the torpedoe tubes more easily?

These torps look so super clean.

[Kpt. Lehmann]

These torps look so super clean.

If greasy grime is to be added later... after just a few seconds in the water, grease smeared on in a circular pattern would very rapidly assume a hydrodynamic front-to-back smear.

... or be removed by passage through seawater... making them look clean indeed.

[Marhkimov]

Attention whore... I am... Yes... So?... Sue me... I got your attention... didn't I? :lol:

[Flakwalker]

Where are my metallic cooper electric torpedos, Sir! :ping:

[Marhkimov]

Where are my metallic cooper electric torpedos, Sir! :ping:

LOL... ok, since you still want them, I'll get em to ya soon... :D

And by copper, do you mean penny copper? or a more bronze-ish color? or brass?

Anyways, I'll use my artistic judgement.

[Flakwalker]

It should be like a brown gold more less. :)

[Marhkimov]

Done. Download link on page1

[BladeHeart]

Just went rushing to page 1 to find that the Gold edition is on hold. :damn:

Seriously though, thanks for these mods, I really do like what you have done and will bi installing the Gold edition when it is available (apart from rapidshare). :up:

:lurk:

[Marhkimov]

Yes, funny thing... I did release it... for like a few minutes, then out of nowhere, I decided that I didn't like it. LOL, modders are a funny breed... :-?

I'll make a few tweeks to make it look more to my satisfaction, then I'll release it for real this time, within the next hour or so. :D

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Cool, just say "WHEN."

:up:

[Syxx_Killer]

Looks great! Look forward to trying the new gold ones. :cool:

[Flakwalker]

Nice, altough it is too golden.

Here the problem: a grammatical error by my part :oops: , it is metallic copper

[Marhkimov]

OK guys... The torpedoes are loaded and ready. This time for reals! :lol:

[Flakwalker]

Great :)

[Marhkimov]

Actually, it has been mere minutes, but I am contemplating Gold v1.1

THEY ARE STILL TOO YELLOW!!!

...eh, it's just a little frustrating... The color in-game does not look exactly the same as when I edit, so my job is that much harder... :damn:

[Flakwalker]

Here are some examples of copper:

http://www.kitchenemporium.com/kitchenemporium/images/od357b.jpg

http://crystalchild2.home.att.net/images/Copper.jpg

Well on google are more :)

Yes that happened to me before when trying to paint the torpedoes before, specially when using red, that became pink.

[kriller2]

I have just tried your silvermod and must say it look brilliant in game! :up: much better than the original...

[Marhkimov]

I won't be able to call it Gold v1.1 if I turn them into copper torpedoes.

Ok, so I'll just make a new Copper v1.0 release. :yep:


After pulling out all of my hair, I think I finally got it!

[Marhkimov]

I will leave the download links up, but within 24 hours I will release a new TORPEDO SKIN PACK so that people can choose which torpedoes they would like to use. The new skins will be improved, so even if you already downloaded my older skins, you'll probably want to upgrade.

[Kpt. Lehmann]

:huh:

Dear Abby,

He is modding the modded mod... and becoming quite barking mad.

What should he do?

Cheers! Marhkimov!

[Marhkimov]

Ok, goto page 1 of this thread and check out the new Torpedo Pack Release 1

[Syxx_Killer]

The new textures look great! Now I can't decide which color set I want to use! :damn: :lol:

[Hackett]

From a simple texture pack, to a full blown "Eat all you can" texture buffet.

Just got to love perfectionist modders. They never short change you. :|\

Great work, theres something for everyone with this mod.
:sunny:

[Marhkimov]

:lol:

Thanks marhkimov, it is the right color :)

[Hartmann]

I´m a bit confused too. :doh:

all are very nice but i don´t know what mod use. :88)

what is the most historic and real ?? :88)

[Marhkimov]

LOLOLOL :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: LOLOLOL

I made these textures and even I can't decide which ones to use...

Historically, I ASSume that silver torpedoes are the most realistic, but I can't be too sure of that. As hard as it is to believe, reliable documentation and photos of this sort of thing are hard to come by. I have yet to see any documentation of torpedo colors, and most photos are in B&W. Museum torpedoes and public displays are only half-trustworthy because they have been pleasantly "prepared" in order to please the public eye.

So for this one, I would say throw your realism and history out the door... Who truly can say for sure that a TI G7a had a matte azure warhead on a flat gray metallic steel hull?

Use whatever floats your boat... LOL... or whatever sinks theirs! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[kriller2]

Nice improvement on the torpedos, I have just tried the new silver ones and they do look better than before :yep:

[Flakwalker]

I like the copper ones :ping:, altough the others are nice aswell.

About the color codes, if I remember correctly they was used in the same way on Aces of the Deep.

The copper ones were on CAOD? It's been so long I don't remember.

[gdogghenrikson]

the new copper ones are my new fav.

[BladeHeart]

Just finished a patrol having used the gold option.

They look great! :up:

Many thanks and for all concerned getting them on a site I can download from. :up:

Cheers

:lurk:

[Excalibur Bane]

I don't want to seem ungrateful, as you've done a fine job with these textures, but I was wondering if there was any chance we might see black casing torpedos with metallic warheads to seperate the different types? :hmm:

Copper, Gold, Silver, Bronze, etc.

It might be worth a look. I was kinda looking forward to that other mod that had black and gold torpedos, but the creator seems to be KIA. :(

[basilio]

marhkimov, have you seen what is written under your forum username, on the left side of the page and above the forum icon?
"Torpedoman"
I guess it is probably the most appropriate definition for you :lol: , so far
Thank you for your GREAT mod(s). :rock:

[Flakwalker]

The copper ones were on CAOD? It's been so long I don't remember.

Nope, I mean the warhead color code: blue, green and red

[Marhkimov]

NOOOOOOO!!!


I hit 121 posts and suddenly, I'm not a torpedoman anymore... This is tragic. :cry:

LOL. I wish I was a permanent torpedoman... :hmm:
