Notice the colored guys, just thought about the discussion a while back
on that topic.

Actually looking at those pictures, all the guys wear ties...I wonder if thats only for the photo session. Can't imagine you would wear a tie in the heat of the pacific all the time.

In all documentary films I have seen on fleet boats, most men are bear breasted or just wearing t-shirts, that's including the skippers (t-shirt, or buttoned up shirt), like in the game.

Looks nice! and nice idea! :)

I wont use it tho' as all of my crew consist of officers @ lvl 12 :rotfl:

Nice:up:

I don't know if you guys have noticed this but the officers hats looks pretty darn bad in the game, WAY TO SMALL. Just noticed it as i wanted to do a proper skin for them.

Should look like this.

To me it looks more like Humphrey Bogart's hat in African Queen

To tweak this one have to start looking at the actual 3D model I think, something I will not do tonight...:roll:

This mod smells of the word, "awesome". Good thing i just ended my last patrol, how now i can load this puppy up. The lack of rank insigna was bugging the hell out of me.

Is it possible to get rank on the enlisted as well? I imagine that be alot of work though.

Well.. not really If you got some pics of the stuff you would like to have just post here, and I see what i can do. To apply the actual textures is pretty easy.

As for install...? JSGME...maybe ;)

Wearing a hat inside a submarine?
What's up with that???? :-?

:arrgh!:

True :) but thats from the stock game. Maybe one could remove that, like one could in SH3.

Just had a look in the Crew.Cfg files...ALL GERMAN NAMES!!!. Someone know how this works?
Got it, its in :
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\UPCData\UPCCrewData
Will have a look around.

EDIT: I think one has to tweak this file "CrewMembers3D.upc" then one should be able to see all ranks onboard...will have a go at it.

@Ducimus, As far as i know, the enlisted guys never wore any kind of insignias or badges. But again if you have any pic that proves me wrong please post, cause i am also interested in that.

Your probably right. I think my desire to see rank on enlisted sleeves is some sort of holdover from SH3. :roll:

This is looking great - just a couple of questions/observations:

1. I think you have the ensign and LT-JG insignia backwards the way they are listed in your original post above (the ensign one should be the yellow one) - see here for good info/pictures, including info about some of the warrant officer ranks/insignia that might be useful: http://www.navy.mil/navydata/navy_legacy_hr.asp?id=266)

2. Do I understand from your post that so far whether these show up or not has nothing to do with the "actual" ranks held by the crew members on whom the shirts are displayed? If not - you might want to consider only putting some of the lower ranks on all the shirts - seems unlikely that you would see too many LT-CMDRs (besides maybe yourself as skipper) on your boat. Of course, if you ever figure out a way to trigger the display to be the right rank for the crewman, that would be awesome!

This looks cool in any event - gotta love anything that gets us closer to historical accuracy - eye candy rules :up:

Cheers. I was using this site as reference

I think you might call that a typo :)...fixed, thanks.

As to what shows up in game. Its all controlled from the "UPCCrewData"
I was tinkering with it yesterday but stopped as I ended up with only a head floating around in the air :p. I think you are right about the LT-Cmdr's. Thats pretty easy to fix. My target was to have 5 ranks shown on the officers. Stock game has 2 officer types at all times and not more

As you can see "bust_od03.tga" and "bust_od01.tga" are mostly used by the stockgame. This is what I have to tweak to have the other ranks show up

I think to have at least 4 different ranks will not be a problem. Will have another look today.

Very nice, I am saved in port and will apply this now.

I was also bothered by this. Thanks for your effort.
