Painting your sub black
 

Is there any way to paint your sub matte black? If so can I have the file name/names I need to change?
thanks in advance

You're a Rolling Stone, right? http://home.arcor.de/cirith-ungol/so...n_headbang.gif

Beautiful skin. Does it also (like all the other skins I've tried so far) affect my boat's maximum speed ?

Your joking right?:arrgh!:

No, I'm not. Every time I tried to install a skin, the speed performances of all my uboots decreased dramatically. VIIB was making 4 knots submerged at flank. It's cfg was allright though...:(

Your not using SH3 Commander 2.6 by any chance? It has Randomised Events - murky scope screen, flank speed cut to half, etc.,

:o:o:o...? Well, if Bernard painted the sub, i'll guess it would increase the drag a bit.....

I can see it now. The emo u-boat:D!

:huh: I have tried every fubar-skin I could get my hands on, and I have had no speed problems. (Vanilla nor GW)


Edit: This thread made me think about the amazing Rolling Stones song "Paint it black"!

Really don;t know what to say...it has happened lots of times to me though. I installed this dark skin however, and it works like a charm. No problems anymore.

Well I can see I started something here...but I wasnt looking for the 7...unless the 7 is actually the hull the game points to when using the 21.
Thanks
nope no rolling stone here...there old and well...old

You are looking for a black Type XXI??

If so I belive Type941 did a solid black XXI awhile ago that is for download on Terrapins site I think.

Is this what you are looking for?

ok that worked great although...I would like to modify it a bit...say ad a number to the tower...change the white water line to red....is there anyone that knows which file..tga I presumming to edit in order to get the desired effects?
I did notice that a couple of the downloaded paint files were the data files...is that the key? Or is it as simple as redoing a .tga file.

I can't quite remember how that skin is packed but I believe the TGA files you will need are inside the .dat files on that particular skin.

You will need to unpack them and go from there.
This is the program you will need to use to unpack the .DAT files and then repack them.

Other than that you can get further help from those that are more familiar with painting the skins.

its telling me mate that I need chess master in order to read the files....am I on another quest in order to do this?

I posted the link to the program you need in the post I made yesterday.
