There you go :up:
Had to cut a little bit off the left and right to make it a square, but it makes not a big difference.

So I didn't need to cut something off at left and right of it to make it a square ?
I just wasn't sure how SH3 handles not-square emblems, didn't test it either ;)

Just in case, Ichso, if the image itself is not sqare, you can make it sqare by adding more canvas to top and bottom of the image, so the entire file (background included) is square. ;)
For example if the flag (image) is 100x150 you put it on a 160x160 background, that way the file will be square. :up:

That would make quite a peculiar and odd emblem, eh?

Spot on CapZap. What I normally do is open the source image in an editor, select all then copy and then create a new transparent square image with the longest side of the original as the value for all sides. e.g; If your orginal was 500x300px make the new one 500x500px.

You can then paste the copied original into the new image file. It should then fit perfectly with transparent panels either side of the image you are working with. I then usually rescale the whole lot to around 200x200px or 300x300px depending on the detail level of the image and save it as a .TGA file. Put that in your subemblems directory, load up SHIII and you should be able to select the new image.

SH3 requires the image to be square otherwise it won't work as an emblem.

Could anybody explain me,why there are two different conning tower emblems for U-48 in GWX (black cat in different versions) and some U-boats do not have an emblem at all,for example U-51.

Also,what U-Boats had those "non-number related" conning tower emblems like AdlerKopf,Sweine,Swastika and so on?

That is a very interesting question for me.Thank you in advance for your information.:)

Nice pair you've got there TarJak ;)

TarJak 07-25-07 05:00 PM

@Jimbuna LMAO Thanks mate I enjoy playing with them as well. ;)

@StanT The emblems in GWX are based on an earlier pack by EvilJester76 IIRC. He did a lot but not all of the emblems. This thread links to a site with the complete image selection. Some boats had more than one emblem both at the same time and at different times during the war. Some boats kept the same emblem throughout the war. Some had no emblem at all.

It depended on the crew and the skipper and what stage of the war. IIRC pre war all uboats just had the number painted on the conning tower and just before the outbreak these were painted over. The first emblems did not really start to appear until end of 1939 after the Scapa raid by Prien.
