This is just great :up:

I have a question for you fubar.
The textures for IX is in the sensors.dat. That file have a major part in the visibility mod and in the atmospheric mod.

Is it possible to extract that file from sensors,dat and put the file in the data\Textures\TNormal\tex folder instead?

I don't want to keep changing sensors.dat due to atmospheric mod and the specific skin I use.

Hope you can help me out on this one fubar

Yes. What I've found is that files which have spaces in file name don't work when installed to tex folder.

The only files that you'd need to put into the data\Textures\TNormal\tex folder are 'Balkon_G' and 'conning_stuff.' I do that myself, and it works. I can use any sensors.dat.

OT:
Now if only we could standardize serg's sensors.dat with the atmospheric mod, we'd be set to go...

The problem with using the Textures folder is that reflections don't match what's in the textures folder. But as long as it's not a camouflaged skin it usually isn't a big problem.

However, some major bug fixes are in the works in terms of the U-boat reflections and 3D models. This will affect RUb and other major mods that include tweaks to Sensors.dat and other files that mix data with graphical info. I think we're going to have to try to incorporate our sensors.dat changes into the new files, because the new models and reflections are big improvements.

I fully agree to that Beery.
Sensors.dat and many other files, like scene.dat is now changed a lot from original stock game. This can easily confuse people.

I think it's time to list features we want and merge this in to this sort of files.
I have also put a new thread up for a TOOL that can add different versions of this new mods

What do you say?

Sometimes, as on U 453, there were patches with hard edges rather than jagged splotches. As the waters of the Mediterranean are much clearer than the Atlantic, U-boats could be seen from the air at a greater depth. A U-boat at periscope depth could be clearly seen from the air in daylight, so the pattern of dark splotches or patches was intended to break up the U-boatâ€™s shape sufficiently to prevent detection from the air."

Great site!

Thx for the link, Rulle. :up:

Having actually tried it out in the Mediterranean, fubar's new Type VIIB looks absolutely stunning. I'd say another u-boat has been successfully fubar'd. :D

In conjunction with the atmospheric mod, LOOk at these amazing shots:

NOTE* I used my own wooden planks on the conning tower

The skin does not work for me . I copyd all the files in the in the maps they should be . Doube Double checked everything . Installed it once more . But i keep getting the old fubar skin for the VIIB !

Take out the old skin from the texture folder as this will overide
the type VIIB skin.

Look in 'data\textures\tnormal\tex' folder

These files are overriding your VIIB camo scheme:

NSS_Uboat7c_hull.tga
NSS_Uboat7c_deck.tga

(1) Either temporarily move them to a new location, or (2) pack them into the correct .DAT files. Choose (1) if you want the easy and simple solution.

EDIT: fubar, you beat me to it...

Umm... I'm fresh out of ideas. Perhaps you are 'accidentally' installing the PLAIN version instead of the CAMO??

I dunno... Maybe fubar has an answer???
