View Full Version : Skins for Typ VII
Hopefully soon, of course with fubar's permission, I will release several skins I have been fiddling with here lately.
The skins are based on fubar's work with only I modifying his creation into several types of schemes.
Here is a preview...

looks very nice.................................:) Great work.
Even though historically the Uboat did not have red bottoms..this actually makes me wish they did.The red makes it look so much cooler than the standard grey.:up: :up: :up: :up:

CWorth is right, U-Boats never had a red hull, so please, do it in grey! It might be looking better in red but its historrical wrong!
Maybe VERY DARK Grey, Midnight Blue (almost black) ? Thew red actually makes me thingk of Large cargoes fopr some reason. NO pun intended.

If Graf wants a red bottom ½ hull then who are we to say different. Now if you had asked a bit nicer like, for a grey bottom ½ hull instead of sounding rather demanding, you may end up with more choices than none at all. This fanatical anal retentive rivert counting attitude is what turns a lot of new modders right off, damn quick. I know you said please, but to me in its current context, it sounds more like an order/demand. If I have gotten it wrong, then this post never happend and I was never here (in other words, I may have read more into it than you intended and if so I apologise).

Graf, :up: :up: on your changes.
Any chance you have a IIA skin with the bottom red hull??----I'd enjoy taking same out on the first few patrols of a new campaign in 39 before changing to a "war scheme" paint job--simulate using a training boat for the first few patrols.
For the historic experts,---I thought i read somewhere that a few of the early pre war IIA's had the red hull (probably wrong--anyone else recall this?--would like to know for sure ). If i recall right, the red and white buoy on the rear of the sh3 IIA was not there once war began but wasn't one found in the early days of the war in the english channel along with a brass plauque(sp) with writing that said "U-... was sunk here notify BDU" or something to that effect??
Anyway, Graf--keep up the fiddling:up:

Im not shure but I think it might have some acuricy. Prewar(at least in the US) it wasint uncomon to use "Red Lead" to prevent crosion/rusting of the hulls.:hmm:
You guys are right, historically very few u-boats had a red hull. ;)
I'm just trying out several versions with red, grey, and a dark blue hull. What I'm more concerned with is the camo.
No worries guys, I can do several versions with all types of schemes, very easy to do. I'll post more pics of several versions here in abit. :)
Snafu,
No prob. Lemme take a look at her and see what I can do. ;)

If you want grey then use Fubars original skins that these are based on.No need for Graf to use the grey since it is already done on these skins by Fubar himself.
Graf..
Dont listen to these rivet counters....The red looks awsome.Also it is something different which is always good.

Or go the whole hog, and make a "red baron" out of it, and terrorise the seas.:up:
I like changing the look of my U-Boat every so often.
So you guys who create the skins keep them coming and I thank you for your hard work. :rock:
Please..can someone explain to me, why eveytime I installed a skin (other than the ones included in GW) the speed performances of my boats decreased ? Do the skins alter something else in the boats cfg's regarding their top speeds ?

BTW...anyone know a good site for Uboat camo or schemes?
There are no pics but the descriptions of the patterns are pretty good.You should be able to figure it out from them.

Graf, I see you released the grey hull versions (already downloaded:up: ) any chance you still planning to make the red hull IIa for download??
Beauty. All the trouble in this game we have to go to to get things "authentic" every now and then I like to make my experience original even to the detriment of realism. With one of those skins it really starts to feel like your u-boat. I dunnacare how many rivets I got in my boat. But she is one bitchin' hot ride!
Excellent work mate.
Looks really good.... I have several pics I will post for you....
Here are two you may already have.... any possibility of getting one with ice on it... for those Arctic pleasure cruises :D

Can never have enough of camo patterns to fool the Tommies!:smug:
Thanx mates, will get to doing more and uploading my red hull IIA here soon.
Just got home from the hospital, had my first boy! :D :D
So lemme get organized and I'll get right to it. ;)
OH, and thanks for the pics Iblitz...was in need of some. ;)

Dear Graf,
I love this skin but I would be nice if you could fix the "cable problem" at the stern of the boat. The already availible fix dos not work with this skin.
Many thanks and greetings from Germany.
PS: It would be nice if you could make only the fix downloadable because 28mb is a little bit heavy for my modem a second time.
Ups wrong picture schould be camo V1!!

Would some IXC schemes as i just got my new boat:arrgh!:
Love the sig Stabiz:up:
Well Done Graf. :rock: :rock:
Are these compatible with the mod enabler?
Edit: Yes they are!
A6Intruder,
What fix are you talking of? Haven't been around too long, don't know exactly what your talking about.
Been lookin' around for some IX schemes but not much luck yet. Also experimenting with the XXI as well, haven't found a nice scheme that fits well.
A6Intruder,

There is a fix that straightens out the cables at the rear of the boat.If you look at the stock VIIC where the cables attach to the triangle shaped holders..the cable does not actually touch but is sort of floating in the air.
I highly doubt that the fix is included A6Intruder..that was a seperate mod and changed the model itself all this does is add a skin to the sub and nothing else.You will have to find that mod somewhere else.
Can never have enough U-Boot skins! :lol: Everytime I get a new U-Boot, I use a new skin. :up: Thanks Graf!

Hi Graf,
one question ......... I enabled your superb skin :up: :up: :up: via ModEnabler , and ------- no existing file was overridden ???? :o
How's that ??? :hmm:
How can my sub get a new skin when no existing skin was deleted or changed ??
Dunno what to say exactly but it works! :D
Lemme know if it doesn't in-game.

I had a similar thing. Then I found out that when the files are extracted from the zipped file, they extract ro something like this:
Grafs VIIC Skin
Grafs VIIC Skin
Data.
Its just a case of moviny the Data folder up a level so that its below the first level - ie:
Grafs VIIC Skin
Data
Then its loads in with ModEnabler asking for overwrite etc as you would expect, and is visible in the simulation.
It looks really good as well. :yep:
Thanks Graf.

Nice work, really appreciate it. I’m trying some of them now.
With all the talk of historical accuracy, I wouldn’t dare show anyone the NASCAR skin my youngest son is making for his sub. :)

They both look great, but I prefer the design of the Type VIIC Camo V1. Never mind the plain bridge, a type VIIC never looked so good. Keep up the fantastic work. If I had a wish, it would be to put some more detail on the bridge (around the UZO and such), but as it is, the skin is superb. Thank you for this mod!
Here's hoping for a Type VIIC Camo V1.1 :sunny:
Hey, graf! Any new schemes on the horizon?

To hell with it being realistic, your VIIC red hull skin is absolutely STUNNING!!!:rock::rock::rock:

Awesome work!! Thank you for these skins! I am curious have you or anyone else endeavored to make some skins of the conning deck from the players perspective (not from 3d external view). sometimes I like to restrain from having an out-of-body experience and play more realistically and I have never been satisfied with any bridge view except the stock and one other I can't think of--all others seem to lack character and are too sexy for me, the texture is not convincing and usually too streamlined and gamey looking. anyways, Keep em coming!
Graf, still in love with these fubar/graf skins. Any chance for a GWX port?
