Is this the kind of mod you have to be in port to apply or could you safely do this one while on patrol? Would love to try it but just spotted a juicy convoy/task force (not sure which yet) and if necessary I'll wait to pass out insignia to my guys when/if we get back to port.

Nope, you can apply this anytime, its just a texture mod, no scripting involved as such.

tks for the well done job:up:

Truly excellent work.

Thank you very much. Looking forward to the Other Ranks mod too! :lol:

Not sure there? You mean for the enlisted men?...I could you know ;)

Agree with panthercules: The large majority of sub skippers were Lt. Commanders. You shouldn't see any Lt. Commanders or Commanders on your boat.

Well off to bed here, but that's pretty easy to fix. I guess there is a day in the morn as well ;)

Was a pretty quick fix so...

Only lower ranks " Ensign, Lieutenant (JG), Lieutenant"

Yeah.
Enlisted men, that's the one. :oops: Oh well, at least you knew what I meant :lol:

That would be great if you could manage it!

Thanks for v1.2 Loving this mod, adds such a lot (for me at least!)

Captains mast..
 

Well let me start off with a Hoo RAhh for this mod...however rarely did you have so much of a range of officers on a boat...I know this is a game, but....next I would have these guys in a sling, if they showed up on watch looking like rag bags...oh well I guess I expected more from my ARMY officers...LOL than the navy did...just joking...

again great mod!!!!:up:

CaptCox,
The only time you were required to wear a hat or cap was topside, The ties were only formal and not worn topside while at sea, but required on entering port.

Tried out the lower ranks version (thanks for listening :) ) last night - very cool touch seeing these insignia on the officers. :up:

Regarding the enlisted crewmen, I haven't yet been able to locate info that I'm sure is time-appropriate for WWII sub crews - the following info may be too recent, but it does indicate that it may make sense to try to put some insignia on at least some of the enlisted guys if you can:

The insignia here* represents a Petty Officer First Class (the rate) who is a Boatswain's Mate (the rating). A rating badge is worn on the left upper sleeve of all uniforms in grades E-4 through E-6. Chief Petty Officers (E-7 through E-9) wear collar devices on their white and khaki uniforms, and rating badges on their Service Dress Blues.

*see link here for a picture of the badge they're talking about and some info on this stuff: http://www.news.navy.mil/navydata/na..._hr.asp?id=258

Keep up the great work :rock:

Officer cap files
 

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Textures\TNormal\tex


the cap files are sapca_od.dds and sapca_on01.dds

I found a nice file looks like something for SH3 that is a US officer hat chipui.dds

hopes this helps...

Well...those are the ones I m using :) actually. The problem with the hat in the game is for me the size and shape of the actual 3D model. Looks to small and weird sort a. To change that, one would have to tweak it in 3DS MAX or something.

One could ofcourse take out the hats all together by just changing some lines in the "CrewMembers3D.upc" script.
