MOD RELEASE - Flower Corvette multi-skin pack

[Boris]

I was going to release these with other ship skins, but it will be some time before I have more.


This skin pack includes 17 skins for the flower corvette which will appear at random in the game.

The Multi-skin dat file by sergbuto has been included, so this will work on any installation.


The skins included:

3 original skins from the grey wolves pack (all have been modified slightly)

14 new skins based on, or inspired by real life Flower Corvettes:

- HMS Abelia
- HMS Borage
- HMS Bluebell
- HMS Arrowhead
- HMS Heather
- HMS Campanula
- HMCS Snowberry
- HMS Gloxinia
- HMS Clematis
- HMS Spirea
- HMCS Sackville
- HMS Pennywort

- + 2 Grey color variants


All of these skins used one of the skins in the grey wolves supermod as a base - so thnks to whovever made it.

- Also thanks to sergbuto for making the Flower multiskinnable in the first place.


To install, copy straight over the game, or put in your mod folder and enable with JSGME.



Enjoy!

[Konovalov]

Wow. Very very nice. So I can add these now to my GW install version of SHIII. :up:

[Der Teddy Bar]

simply stunning :up:

[U-Bones]

OT, but can someone explain why both my Nero and WIndows TGA viewers complain about plug-ins/corruption and can not open several of these skins ? Are there different versions of TGA ?

Thanks in advance, graphically challenged.

These screenshots look very nice BTW !

Hi, Boris.
Where is smoke? on screenshots?

Anvart :huh:

[Boris]

Hi, Boris.
Where is smoke? on screenshots?

Anvart :huh:

Don't worry, they smoke.

I just whipped up a quick mission with a whole number of corvettes to take screenshots.

I didn't give them any waypoints so they aren't going anywhere and therefore aren't smoking. They had initial speed of like 10 knots though, which is why some have wakes.

Here, one I saw in my last patrol (with smoke):

@ Ubones

I did the skins in psp9 and they open fine with that (maybe the program changed the tga properties somehow?) ... they work in the game, which is what matters.

[Anvart]

OK.

[Syxx_Killer]

Those skins look great. Good job! :up: :up:

[Wulfmann]

A welcome addition and improvement and much appreciated!

Amazing work :up: :up: :rock: :rock:

[Valentin]

Excellent job Boris ! :up:

Thx you :D

[Sailor Steve]

Cool stuff!

[sergbuto]

Indeed. Although, to my taste, somewhat more rust would not hurt. But it is a matter of taste.

[iambecomelife]

Very nice. I wish the hull sides were mirrored properly so that we could give the corvettes their historical pennant numbers.

What are those canvas-looking things dangling on either side of the bridge? I always see them in photos of the Flower Class.

What are those canvas-looking things dangling on either side of the bridge? I always see them in photos of the Flower Class.

Carley(sp?) Floats - When they didnt have enough room for lifeboats or tenders on a warship, they carried the Carley Float in lue. The theory behind the floats is still used today, as the ship sank and went underwater the floats would detach from the ship and float to the surface, just like the self inflating life pods do today.

Because of that, they were placed as high aboard as possibe to help reduce being snaged by fittings as the ship went down.

[Sturm]

Nice. :up:

[malcymalc]

Is there anywhere else I can get this mod?

Rapidshare says I have downloaded my limit already, and I cannot see it on realUboat.

[ichneumon]

Does anyone know if this mod is available anywhere? The link above does not work and I could not find it at u-boot.realsimulation. I am working on my own set of flower skins and don't want to duplicate effort. These look great.

[Boris]

Uploading it for you now mate...

Here ya go.

[kylania]

Wow, my hats off to you moddlers and skinners, you guys are amazing!!

[SeaWolf IV]

Yes, thanks for the link. That should be uploaded to U-Boot.RealSimulation.com

[Hunter]

The file doesn't download for me :(

[Boris]

I'll upload it somewhere else later... or you can wait for GWX. Since the skins have already been released I think I can tell you that modified versions of the skins will be included.

[kylania]

The file doesn't download for me :(

Are you using Firefox? For some reason (adblocking I think) quicksharing only works with IE on my machine.

[Jmack]

thats a very good pack of skins

im downloading it with firefox
but the only thing quick about
quickshare is the name
its at a max speed of 4.88ks

[ichneumon]

Uploading it for you now mate...

Thanks! I have downloaded them and they are quite nice. I was glad to see that I have not duplicated too much effort. All but two of the skins I have been working on are based on different ships. They are almost ready to release, I am still not happy with all the rust and weathering effects, but they are getting closer...

[Klt_KUrtz]

Thanks a lot.
Great work and very realistic!

I missed these back then as I was away for 3 weeks. Glad they've poped back up again. Just got em and they look great. Thanks.

Life Boat mod . I have seen this mod at your site forever now, but there is no way to download it. What's up with that ? And I don't see a Life Boat mod at anyother site , only you my friend.

I'd also like to see these Flowers on your site. I think everyone should submit their skins to Serg's Mods.

[Hunter]

It didn't work for me with IE, but it is OK with Firefox for me.:up:

[ichneumon]

Here are 14 new skins for the Flower Corvette.

These skins are based on photographs of flower corvettes during WWII. The reference vessels I used are different than those used by Boris so you can add these skins to his great collection for even more variety. Just rename the files for my skins so their numbers are in sequence with his.

These skins are as accurate in pattern and color as I could make them and they vary in the amount of weathering and rust. The textures were created by others; I have just combined them and applied the paint. You will need the Multi-skin dat file by sergbuto to use these skins so I have included it in this download.
