[kapitan_zur_see]

damn! you're truly amazing Fubar! :huh: i wonder how can achieve such a number of beautifuls skins so quickly lol! amazing :damn:
Still, one thing really struck me.
Indeed, I'm suprised nobody ,especially you, ever thought of using normal maps for your skins...
If you already rummaged through SH3 textures, you might have see that crews models does use 2 sets of textures, one being the "diffuse" map (the regular one) and another one wich is a NORMAL map (i suggest you look on google if you don't know what it is). That mean SH3 engine is capable of handling normal maps wich are vastly used for high levels of details in nowaday nextgen games. In SH3, those maps are strangely used on crew only but i don't see why it couldn't be used on any other objects (although they are in a distinct shade of yellow instead of the usual blue color)... All we have to do is find (if it has to) what triggers the use of normal maps in SH3 and design some for every objects.
I do believe (wll i'm sure in fact ;)) it could greatly improve your skins details. I did made some early attempts, still without any success for the moment, but i think you should consider the idea. :lol:

[Jimbuna]

@fubar
are there any plans for type IX skins ? :hmm:

WOW:o

Thanks mate, very cool skin bro...:rock:

[pierreandre]

Great work fubar, thank you :up: !!!

[fubar]

Kapitan zur see nice idea however I would not know how to make this work.

jimbuna I may do a few for the type IX

Heres the link for the U253 skin http://hosted.filefront.com/fubar45

[kapitan_zur_see]

i'm working on it, but can't find any bump mapping controller. maybe i'll have to do some hex editing wich i'm not good into at all. At least, it could emphasis things like rivets etc. One thing that would have been great is specular mapping but i don't think it's in use in SH3 engine. On the contrary, it's obvious it's been widely used in sh4 engine as one could see it on the screenshots.

[Edelweiss]

Fubar, my congrats for your wonderful skins !

Looking at them closely, one can see tons of improvements in numerous tiny details : the rivets, the oval and round holes in the sub's hull became incredibly sharp in details, the exhaust pipes are now present, etc, etc... :up:

I have to say I'm always on the hunt to get your new skin releases ! And well, I was silly enough to think I would be able to make my own skin for my U-Boot from yours... But obviously, the job is too far above my competences. :dead:

So, as the Mediterranean camo (below) is my absolute fav, I'd be very pleased to see - one of these days ;) - its TGA files updated with all the latest "killer details" that are now present on your skins. I tried to do it myself with Photoshop but unfortunately I messed more than I improved... :roll:
No doubt that one do not become a "skinner" so easilly (lol) !

Meanwile, thanks for your amazing job so far !

Very nice skins Fubar!

Do you have a complete list, or download page, of all your skins that currently work with GWX? I guess I don't know which skins will work with GWX, and which skins will not. I don't want to mess anything up.

Thanks.

[_Seth_]

Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Dali and Fubar.... (And danlisa, since he makes some beautiful skins and sigs too!) Then the list is complete...!!!:up::up::up:
EXCELLENT!!!!! :yep::rock::rock::rock:

Edit: I noticed that these skins are around 30 Mb. Is the size larger since they are made for GWX?
IIRC the skins for GW 1.1a was max. half the size (those i made...) I just have to ask, mateys..:roll:

Hocking you can get a number of my skins here http://hosted.filefront.com/fubar45
I will be uploading all of my skins that I have made and I will be makeing them work
With GWX, MOST already work with GWX but not all. If you download any of my skins and all the files inside the mod are tga files they will work fine with GWX
if they have DAT files they won't work with GWX but as I said above I will be updateing them soon.

Edelweiss the skin you want is here http://hosted.filefront.com/fubar45

Sweet Fubar,

Nice to know that your fixing some of your U-Boat skins to work with GWX. :up:
Thank you!!:rock:

Mast

[stabiz]

I have said it before:

Fubar for president!

[hocking]

Thanks for the link Fubar, I really appreciate all your efforts with these skins.

By the way, I was under the impression that most U-Boats (at least the ones with two colors only and no camo patterns) were painted with a Dunkelgrau 2 lower half, and Hellgrau 50 upper half. Is this true?

I modeled Revell's 1:72 scale VIIC (U552), and painted it in this two-color scheme is why I am asking. Thanks.

[_Seth_]

Excellent, mate!! I really like that dunkelgrau 52 IXD2! :up::up::up:

all these skins will work fine with GWX.
I always use this skin for u-666.

[Teho]

Fubar's skins aren't fubar. :ahoy:

[fubar]

Hi all thanks for the kind words

Hocking Hellgrau 50 was often used on pre and early war boats then Dunkelgrau 51 was also used alot, there are also a number of other colours which were used.
As regards to the lower hull my research points to Schiffsbobenfarbe III grau (Dunkelgrau 53 was the same colour but did not contain any anti-fouling ingredients)

check this link out http://uboatcolours.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/

hope this helps.

[hocking]

Thanks for the link Fubars. My first build of this model was U-552 in an early war configuration (net cutter, paint scheme from early war period, ect....), so I think I got the colors right. I may build this model again in a late war configuration, and use a different paint scheme.

I noticed you posted up some updated skins today on FileFront. I take you are updating all the skins that you currently have available so they work in GWX? I hope, your skins really add to the immersion in the game. Do you have any VIIB, IIa, or IID skins available? I think the only skin I saw for any of these three boats was a "Med Camo Scheme" for the VIIB. Is it possible to use any of your VIIC skins on a VIIB without any problems? Or, can you only use each skins specifically for the boat you made it for? I am guessing that once you install your skins using JSGME, the skins will only show up in your game when you load that particular U-Boat up in the game.

Just curious, as I like to try all the different boats out as I move from 1939 through 1945 (except for the XXI that is), and I am currently in a VIIB.

Thanks.

[fubar]

yes Hocking I'm updateing all my skins so they work with GWX, any skins you see on my filefront link will work with GWX.

As regards to my VIIC skins they will work for the VIIB as well.
The med camo skin I made for the type VIIB will also work for the VIIC but the camo blotches on the VIIC will not look as good.
Also if you use a skin for say a type VII it will not change anyother sub type. However the main deck gun uses the same texture file for all sub types so this will change.
Last point I do have skins for the type IIA and IID these will only work in the DAT file format so I will need to put these into the GWX DAT files which I will do soon.

Happy new year

[Paajtor]

Fubar, here's my VIIC conning-tower, June '42:

http://www.61shap.org/pilots/Paajtor/SHIII/VIIC_conningtower.jpg

Was it normal, to have the radar-antennae camo'd as well?

[Samwolf]

As regards to my VIIC skins they will work for the VIIB as well.
The med camo skin I made for the type VIIB will also work for the VIIC but the camo blotches on the VIIC will not look as good.


To use any VIIC skins for type VIIB I take it you just have to rename the files from "7c" to "7b" ?

Looking forward to being able to use your skins again in GWX.

[fubar]

Paajtor the pics I have seen of the radar antennae on the front of the con seem to have the same paint scheme as the rest of the conning tower.

Samwolf you will not need to change the names for the VII skins they will show up
for the VIIB-C as is.

[Samwolf]

Paajtor the pics I have seen of the radar antennae on the front of the con seem to have the same paint scheme as the rest of the conning tower.

Thanks, I thought they might have used separate files.

Ok, nice touch. :up:

Bit of a shame that the AI isn't sensitive to what camo we use, though.
It will probably take a few years untill games can handle that.

[JCWolf]

In mi opinion all his skins are awesome..
But this one for me is the most realistic...:rock:

That's because it's Konrad Krumm's U-201 skin.

Thanks for the link JCWolf, even if Fubar was a bit quicker though ! ;) (link too, just above)

Dark Ship, I have this wonderful camo skin from Konrad Krumm's available (thanks for the credits Mast, I wasn't aware of that) ; if someone can tell me where I could upload it, I'd be happy to make it this way available to all.

For those who - like me - go into (deep) details, this skin is now a bit outdated by Fubar's latest ones. Don't make me say what I do not mean, I'm talking about the details only ! (it's a killer skin too.) You'll have to look at it closely though ; but Fubar and some will surely know what I mean, as there's an evolution in his work too regarding tiny details, as I was saying above : rivets, holes in the sub's hull, hydrophones, weathering, etc...

That's why I was hoping that this skin (one of my favs too) would be upgraded one of these days : "Fubar's 58 VIIC" or "Das Boot VIIC" hulls would IMO be the perfect basis for that (adding the camo scheme). Unfortunately, I'm not skilled enough at Photoshop to do it myself... :88)

[DarkShip]

I remember using your U-552 skin when playing NYGM a while back. I'm amazed to see such a great job you did with the U-997 skin:cool:. It's also great all your skins work with GWX - gonna have to do the hi res fix for SH3 now.

Keep up the good work :up:

[Phoenix3000]

Fantastic skins there I must say!

Great work - :up:

Quick question though - I've read through several posts on this - but can someone tell me how you install new skins? Are they JSGME compatible etc.?

If you can provide a quick step-by-step I would be very grateful!

I'm currently using SH3 1.4b, GWX, HWX 23rd Dec updates and SH3 Commander 2.7.

Thanks!!

OMG, the ultimate skin!

Great job, Fubar! :up:

[Ducimus]

Wow! Thats just awesome, and im just jealous.

How hard would it be to make a skin like that for an IXB or IXC? (same thing really, just rename the files)

[Edelweiss]

Now all this becomes really UNBEARABLE. :down:

Either I don't know any more which skin to chose and can't keep using one for more than a patrol, or I now even plan to change my U-Boot type (and thus modify drastically my career) to fit a particular skin... :shifty:
Sorry Fubar, but you're adding one more, unexpected, and quite unfair difficulty to this game !

Just kidding : astounding job, keep 'em coming ! ;)

[melnibonian]

Fubar those skins are fantastic:up:

Can you alter them for the IXs as well? I mean the VII look gorgeous and the IX are a bit naked;) Go on make those skins for the IX as well please:yep: :yep: :yep: :D :D :D

Thats really nice, more great skins for my favourite Boat. Btw you could maybe do a skin like the U201 or the U997 for the IXb/c if you like and if it fits historically. Just an request if you don t know what to do next... :up: :up:

[rascal101]

**** that is good, the best by far!

One question Fubar, I wonder if there would be more weathering on the front surfaces of the hull and connings tower, I mean pealed paint etc, as this surfaces would face constant friction with wind or rain, which I would imagine would be fairly abrasive, and with the sea when the sub dived which I would imagine would be very abrasive, just a thoughts, not a critisism in any way you are the best.

Can you give any hints re your weathering techniques, I recon I'd like to get into the merchant skins and mess them up a whole lot, and you and Venatore seem to be the undoubted kings of peeling paint and rust. How does you do it

Thanks again for all the nice words guys

Can you give any hints re your weathering techniques, I recon I'd like to get into the merchant skins and mess them up a whole lot, and you and Venatore seem to be the undoubted kings of peeling paint and rust. How does you do it

Yes rascal101 I think you could be wright about the weathering on the front of the conning tower however there is a texture repeat problem on the tower which sometimes puts details on the tower where you dont want them to be, on the type IXC-B tower this problem is not such a problem so I will add more weathering on the front of that tower. Also when you use this skin with the standard conning tower there is more paint peel around the base of the tower.

As regards to weathing techniques aways work with layers this way you can make many changes to one layer without changeing another. Anyway generally I use brushes to paint say rust on the hull (useing a colour that looks like rust) then use one of the deletion brushes to modify the rust, you need to experement with this. Then perhaps add some noise to the rust colour then you should have something that looks ok. You can use this technique for dirt ect its all about experementation.
If you wish to create a paint chip affect then make one layer with your main uboat colour say dark gray then under this layer make another layer lets say light gray then I use one of the deletion bushes to delete parts of the dark grey layer which
then will reveal the light gray. Hope this helps, SORRY I'm not good at explenations.

Scheisskopf yes it works for the VIIB and C

Last piont I'd just like to say thanks again guys I get alot of fun out of making these skins and its the icing on the cake when you guys like them:up:

Nice 1 Fubar ;) Great work

Just playing a career and still have the IX B....thought of changing to IX C before the next mission...but I think I will at least do one more with the IX B. The people of lorient should see this beauty :D

Thx for the great skins and looking forward to the other weathered Typ IX model skins.

OK just checked out SHCommander Random Folder, how do you lo0ad skins in there to make it random in game?


Example: You have 2 skins from a Type IX B....in the Random folder are folders 0,1,2... and so on....

1. Create a Folder "Date" in folder 0 and 1...then create in each of this 2 a folder with the Date from which time on the skin will be available. Example both from start of the war....then the Date will be 19390901 (thats the folder name too)....and then copy the data folder in the 19390901.

[Hidalgo]

And... can you tell me what is the available date for all the Fubar´s GWX skins?. Thanks.

Fubar has updated a lot of these skins after the NYGM v2.2 compatible ones were packaged by Der Teddy Bär.

What do we need to do to make these latest releases compatible? Anything?

Matt

I think I found the answer 5 pages or so back...yes basically?

[fubar]

Matttm if you download sub skins here http://hosted.filefront.com/fubar45
they should work fine with NYGM v2.2 as they are all in tga format.

However there is Fubars camo IID which is for GWX only.

[matttm]

Thanks Fubar! And since they are TGA, should be able to apply mid-patrol as well as it is only the images being replaced?

Matt

[LZ_Baker]

Yes, you can do it mid patrol, I've done it.

[Paajtor]

Yes, perfectly safe to do so.
Just rollback SH3Commander first, if you're using that.

[Makr]

Awesome, Awesome skins!

Fubar, do you have a link with screenshots of ALL available skins? This thread has a ton, but some of the skins on filefront don't have screenshots.

Thanks!

[Morts]

what about a really rusty looking 9-C (IXC)?

[fubar]

Makr all the files exept the low res files should have a screen shot:yep:

Morts I did make a dark rusty skin for the IXB but I'm not to keen on it.

[Venatore]

Hi

I am new to these forums and I was wandering if anyone could tell me how to change the skin of my u-boot ie using one of fubars skins?

Poseidon:damn:
It all depends in what your SH3 setup is. Lets just say your using SH3, patched to 1.4b, GWX and patched with GWX 1.02. You would have Jonescoft Generitc Mod Enabler (JSGME) installed into the SH3 file sturcture.

1. Open the following pathway: Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/MODS.
- Ok now unzip the "Fubar" skin and place it into the MOD folder.
- Ok now open the following:Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/JSGME application.
- Ok when you open this you will see that skin on the left.
- Ok click on the ">" button and transfer the mod over to the right.
- Ok close all files.
- Ok start game and enjoy.

I hope that wasn't to confusing :doh:

With Fubars skillls it should be easy i think.
I tried to do it by myself but i have no idea how to made it high quality - you know: changing only resolution of stock textures to 2048x2048 doesnt help...
(any ideas? maybe someone could do "Advanced skin tutorial"?)

Meh, BASIC:stare:!!! Fair enough, you need to have some skills in image editing.:D

I need to add that the tutorial was created before the release of GWX and as such is geared towards the re-packing of the DAT files. This is not recomended in GWX, once the TGA files are extracted you can just use them as is in the textures folder.

Oh how it aches wherew is he? we all need him and he has just dissapeared off the face of the earth just as if he was abducted by who knows what!!! WHY?!?!?!

[VipertheSniper]

The type IXC is done heres a pic

get it here TYPE_IXC (http://hosted.filefront.com/fubar45/1896489)

So I'm currently using an IXC but with the first conning tower with 2 flak mounts, will this skin work with it or will the tower stay stock?

[fubar]

Hi all I'm still around but I haven't had much time lately (work and things)

Viperthesniper all the type IXC skins I've made should work fine when you change towers:up:

[Alex]

Glad to see you here mate. :rock:
What do you plan to release soon ? :oops: :lol: :up: :88) :rock:

Hey, good to see you're still around.

I'll reiterate my point.:p

Could you take your lovely VIIC/41 skin from a page long since past and convert it to match that lovely VIIC/41 model recently made?

Here she is.

Make sure they are enabled and make sure that you don't have an extra folder that was created during the extraction process.

Make sure the folder tree looks like this.....Fubar Skin > data > etc etc. NOT Fubar Skin > Fubar Skin > data > etc etc.

awsome skins here.:up:
to bad you cant use them all in SH3:cry:
it would be fun each time you get a new sub

[danlisa]

awsome skins here.:up:
to bad you cant use them all in SH3:cry:
it would be fun each time you get a new sub

Why not use them like that.:D

You start in a Type 2 - Have a Type 2 skin enabled in JSGME
You move to a Type 7 - Have a Type 7 skin enabled in JSGME
You move to a Type 9 - Have a Type 9 skin enabled in JSGME

You can do this before you even leave for your first patrol. Just pick your favourites and forget about them until you notice you got a nice new skin with your new boat.

The short of it is, all you have to remember to do is change & enable a new skin in JSGME after a patrol or when you feel like it.

You could also, if you use SH3Cmdr, set them to change on a certain date.;)

[gord96]

just downloaded the type II skin. looks great. so i just enable the mod and that's it? to i have to reload it after every patrol?

also if I load the skin in mid patrol will it change or will it just mess up the game?

thanks.

:up:
The simple rules regarding skins and other add-ons are:
1. ALWAYS enable them via JSGME. That way if you don't like them you can get rid of them easily.
2. Be in Port and Rollback SH3Cmd BEFORE enabling ANY mod.

As long as you have a mod enabled via JSGME it will be loaded every time you load SH3/GWX. There is nothing else you need to do except to relax and enjoy the game ;) :up:

on my computer JSGME wont eneble the mod's even when its installed properly.:damn:
so i just made a backup of the game and renamed it.
then i just pasted all mods (in data folders) in the original file.
now all mods work.:up:

As long as your game is working fine you're OK. It would have been better though if you enable the mods via JSGME as that way you can get rid of them without messing up the installation.

this JSGME has to be intalled in the silent hunter folder right...
well thats were i installed it.
but anyway. if i still have that backup there cant go anything wrong.

the times before that i didnt made a backup. so the game was a bit messed up :damn:
it constantly crashed or just wouldnt load. i still have a laggy game but as long as it works im happy :up:

You did double click on JSGME to create the 'MODS' folder did'nt you ? :hmm:

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

nvr mind... i just noticed on a picture of it that it has to be in the data folder :shifty:
i did it in the SH3 folder... :damn: :damn: :damn:.

but i still dont get it.... this time it is IN the data folder and it still doesnt work...

[Jimbuna]

Install JSGME into C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\GWXv103...or...SH3
Double click on it and a 'MODS' folder will appear
Unpack your sub skin into this MODS folder ie:C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\GWXv103...or...SH3\MODS
Go back to JSGME, open/access it and enable the mod :up: :arrgh!:

[danlisa]

Ok, JSGME should be in the Silent Hunter III Program folder, then double click on JSGME.exe to create the MODS folder. In the MODS folder you put all your EXTRACTED mods. If you are using GWX this has been done for you.

Then double click on JSGME.exe to open the mods window, your mods will be listed on the left and to activate them, highlight them and click the button called 'active mod'. When it's activated the mod will appear on the right side of the window.

The only other reason for your mods not to work is because you have the folder structure wrong. See this pic and pay special attention to the left hand expanded list.

Don't have to be exact but dark blue lower hull with light gray upper hull and tower and a darker grey for the deck. The hull and tower have a used look(rusty but not too pronounce).

Hi everyone

Despite the risk of being flamed i have to make this question. Please forgive my dubness but i have just discovered this great game after years spent flying with Il2-Forgotten Battles/Pacific Fighters and i'm really new on this (No kidding ....:hmm: guess my icon already told you that :rotfl: )

How do i change the skin of my sub::damn: Where and wich skins are a must ?

Please step by step directions needed :oops: I use only stock european version (no patch applied yet ) since my computer will not handle GWX or any other super mod.

Cheers

[Chock]

Replacing a skin in SH3 is really easy, imagine you download a repaint, you'll end up with a file named something like this: 'NSS_Uboat7c.dat'

Which in this case would be a replacement for the Type VIIC in Silent Hunter 3, so what you would do is put that replacement skin file in this folder:

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Submarine\NSS_U boat7c

and let it overwrite the original.

It's a good idea to copy and paste the original file somewhere safe first though, that way you can reverse the process if you don't like the new repaint when you see it in the game.

:D Chock

[vwc_maxwellsmart]

Hi guys

Thanks for such a quick reply, i have just downloaded some Fubar45 skins for my Ixb and future Ixc....i barely can wait to get home and try them.:up:

Just one more question, i only replace that .dat file since i heard there was a DAT extractor exe somewhere....:hmm: i guess i won't mess with that anyway, but i wanted to sound less ignorant when i'm following this thread :rotfl:

[danlisa]

No No No.

Use JSGME! JScones Generic Mod Enabler. You can get it here - http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/products.html

This little gem enables your skins/mods while backing up the original files so you can always revert back to the default state of SH3. All of Fubars skins are JSGME ready.:up:
