Any Skins yet for GWX...looking for VII-C skins:)
 

heya all...im just wondering if anybody has yet made any VII-C skins compatable for GWX mod...thats all hehe...THanks!

Crimeny! Can ya at least give us til after the holidays? :doh: :dead: :huh:

:arrgh!:

lol,sry...I didn't know if GWX skinned as they were working on mods and etc...my appologies.

For default GWX we used all of Fubar's regular U-boat schemes since there was a full set. They are also historically accurate.

Honestly, the GWX team is worn out... and I'm about to order them to go to sea for awhile.

Don't worry... we'll set up more variety with the U-boats down the track.

alright no prob...sorry for the rush...i should know from common sense that you guys are pooped lol...and again i couldn't ask for a better game/mod for xmas:)

CodyLang,
I am using one of Fubars great skins in GWX at the moment. If you wish to check any of these out here is the link.

Also should you see Danlisa on the bottom of his sig is some links to his great skins as well hope this helps.:up:

Hi Mr Chris,

Can I just point out that if you use any custom skins that are packed in dat files then, until new versions are made using GWX's dats, you will loose the fixes contained in GWX. (i.e IX Cable fix, VII Compass fix etc). You will be alright if the skins just consist of tga textures.

BTW - Thanks for the plug:up:

Bloody hell ! your in demand already !:rotfl:

Ah bugger thanks for the info mate.:oops: :up:
No worries about the plug what are friends for:up:
Im using Fubars VIIB skin at the mo when the new GWX dat skins are released will it just be a case of pasting the new dat over the one i installed with Fubars skin?

Oh yes, the IXC Late War skin, my absolute favorite.

I'm not sure at the moment.

I'm pretty sure that Fubar's VIIB skin is textures only, so you still have the sub fixes.

People only started to pack their textures into the dat files to increase performance and to decrease d/l time. The SH3 engine will pick up the textures if placed in the correct folder and use those.

As you know GWX has removed all textures it can and re-packed them into dat files, this is the only way they could make so many graphical changes and still give a better performance than GW1.1a.

The was a dat file that came with it and i bloody used it what plank iam.:rotfl: :rotfl:
Not to worry i love learning by mistakes:up:

@ danlisa: Matey, like i wrote in the PM i sent you, and just to be clear (i dont want to screw up my install of GWX..): This means that i could do a repaint of the VIIB or VIIC, since the .tga's belonging to them can be repainted without repacking the .dat? (Since the .tga's needed are in the TNormal/tex folder as .tga files):D

Yep, that's right.:yep:

FYI - all boats can be skinned this way, just by using the textures/tga's. Infact, I'm using my IX skins in the same way. Just haven't got round to u/l them.:88)

My advice would be, if you make your skins JSGME ready, that you advise people to only have one enabled at a time. That way there is no chance of a cross-over between them.

Also, if you can, resize the tga texture file to 1024 x 1024, that way it's back to stock and there will be no ill-effects on GWX.

Hi mates

All deside to go back to work and try to finish my ice skin, i think i also know how to pack it in dat file, I just hope its don`t take me forever ;)
