[REL] Gato skin with / without sub number V1.1
 

Because there are no hi-res skins at this moment.. I used the last 2 nights to built a much cleaner less weathered skin. This downloads has 2 versions.
One with sub number 101 (no other numbers can be done yet because of mirror images).
The other one without the numbers.
Hope you like it :up:

Lucky 101 is 101 backwards lol. If I try to put 201 on my hull its backwards on the otherside :-?

Great looking skin! What font did you use for the numbers?

Guess 808 would work too. :rotfl:

Thanks.. to be honest, this is my first sub skin ever. I just do not like the default ones.. I found some pictures of the olds USS COD. This skin is based on that boat. For the numbers I uses AmarilloUSAF font.

Glad you like the skin :D :D :D

Again a nice skin, keep it up!

For your first sub skin ever it is definatly

:up: :up: :up: thumbs up!

Ooops...I forgot to say, what a great 1st skin job. Very nice indeed.

Sweet skin mate. I installed it and it has the number on my hull. How do I get the skin without the number?

Congrats! Great skin.

First ever? You have a natural talent! Another fine skinner to add to the talent pool here at Subsim!

Thanks mate. :)

Nice effort there:up::up:

Congrats dude well done :up::up:

just rename the NSS.GATOT02.DDS and NSSGOTOTowerT02.DDS files to NSS.GATOT01.DDS and NSSGOTOTowerT01.DDS.
The numbers will be gone..

You can use 181 ;)

That's the number of USS Pompano, Perch class, and it is with that sub and number how the "Pacific Aces" mod for SH2 started already a long time ago:smug: In SH2 we also had the same "mirroing" problem and were initially limited also to the only two US sub models in SH2/DC, Perch and Tambor. Given the hull numbers available, Pompano was obviously spot on.:up:

Oh, and I almost forgot: Boats were painted light grey only in late war. But your skin is very nice!

LOL.. I am now making a skin for Balao. And I wanted to add 181 to that sub until other numbers can be used.

About the light grey. Those are the only color pictures I can find as example for the boat..

I someone has a nice picture or drawing in color, I can try changing the skin color.

Great job, downloading now. :up:

As for the hull numbers, I guess I wasn't the only one hoping and praying that we'd get the correct hull number automatically printed on the boat like in Destroyer Command. Oh well, perhaps someday...

That is what I am going to work on next.. In SHIII there was a posibility to add decal on your boat. I am going to try to use those decals in SHIV for numbers.
I won't be automatic. But it would be glad if we can use more than 101 and 181.

After that the Purpoise class is next.

I love this skin... I just wish I could get numbers on more boats...

I have this mod installed and don't see the 101 on the Gato when I select a Quick Single Mission using the Gato. I copied both NSS_Gato_T01.dss & NSS_Gato_T02.dss to the Data\Submarine\NSS_Gato folder; and also the 2 NSS_GatoTower_T01.dds & NSS_GatoTower_T02.dds to the Data\Textures\TNormal\tex folder... Does it only show up for the model 200? Not sure what I could have done wrong...
