MOD RELEASE - Flower Corvette multi-skin pack
 

I was going to release these with other ship skins, but it will be some time before I have more.


This skin pack includes 17 skins for the flower corvette which will appear at random in the game.

The Multi-skin dat file by sergbuto has been included, so this will work on any installation.


The skins included:

3 original skins from the grey wolves pack (all have been modified slightly)

14 new skins based on, or inspired by real life Flower Corvettes:

- HMS Abelia
- HMS Borage
- HMS Bluebell
- HMS Arrowhead
- HMS Heather
- HMS Campanula
- HMCS Snowberry
- HMS Gloxinia
- HMS Clematis
- HMS Spirea
- HMCS Sackville
- HMS Pennywort

- + 2 Grey color variants


All of these skins used one of the skins in the grey wolves supermod as a base - so thnks to whovever made it.

- Also thanks to sergbuto for making the Flower multiskinnable in the first place.


To install, copy straight over the game, or put in your mod folder and enable with JSGME.



Enjoy!

:up: :up: :up:

yep great work :yep:

Wow. Very very nice. So I can add these now to my GW install version of SHIII. :up:

simply stunning :up:

OT, but can someone explain why both my Nero and WIndows TGA viewers complain about plug-ins/corruption and can not open several of these skins ? Are there different versions of TGA ?

Thanks in advance, graphically challenged.

These screenshots look very nice BTW !

Hi, Boris.
Where is smoke? on screenshots?

Anvart :huh:

Don't worry, they smoke.

I just whipped up a quick mission with a whole number of corvettes to take screenshots.

I didn't give them any waypoints so they aren't going anywhere and therefore aren't smoking. They had initial speed of like 10 knots though, which is why some have wakes.

Here, one I saw in my last patrol (with smoke):

@ Ubones

I did the skins in psp9 and they open fine with that (maybe the program changed the tga properties somehow?) ... they work in the game, which is what matters.

OK.

Anvart :smug: :up: :up: :up:

Those skins look great. Good job! :up: :up:

Nice work.

A welcome addition and improvement and much appreciated!

Amazing work :up: :up: :rock: :rock:

Excellent job Boris ! :up:

Thx you :D

Cool stuff!

Indeed. Although, to my taste, somewhat more rust would not hurt. But it is a matter of taste.

Very nice. I wish the hull sides were mirrored properly so that we could give the corvettes their historical pennant numbers.

What are those canvas-looking things dangling on either side of the bridge? I always see them in photos of the Flower Class.

Carley(sp?) Floats - When they didnt have enough room for lifeboats or tenders on a warship, they carried the Carley Float in lue. The theory behind the floats is still used today, as the ship sank and went underwater the floats would detach from the ship and float to the surface, just like the self inflating life pods do today.

Because of that, they were placed as high aboard as possibe to help reduce being snaged by fittings as the ship went down.

Nice. :up:

Is there anywhere else I can get this mod?

Rapidshare says I have downloaded my limit already, and I cannot see it on realUboat.

Does anyone know if this mod is available anywhere? The link above does not work and I could not find it at u-boot.realsimulation. I am working on my own set of flower skins and don't want to duplicate effort. These look great.
