HOW TO PAINT SHIPS???
 

Hi !

I want to paint a FLETCHER DD in the colours of a e.g. SOMMERS DD does anyone know how this can be done?

Data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7b

and open in gimp fhis file NSS_Uboat7b_T01

good luck :ping:

Try this :
Open the file : data/sea/NDD_Somers

Copy all NDD_Somers_T**.tga files

Paste the files into data/sea/NDD_Fletcher file

Rename the files to NDD_Fletcher_T**.tga

I have tried this in another occasion and it worked

KALH TYXH
MEGA TO THS THALLASHS KRATOS
A/T NEARXOS D-219 (1995 - 1997)

I found it. Through SH3D. Ok!

This is deck, if you want to change camo scheme change the files that where pointed in posts above.

This is the GWX version of the NDD_Fletcher. right? The hull camo is the embedded with the 1st material item. To change the camo, you need to exchange the chart or, if you aim at using external texture charts, you need change the settings of material 1 and 3 (look at other models for guidance).

Note, the charts of NDD_Somers and NDD_Fletcher are slightly different, as it is the UV mapping. So, using the Somers textures with the Fletcher may not work perfectly.

Good luck

Ok and how is the chart matched to the 3d model areas?Is there a tutorial for this anyway?

3 ways to do:

1. make the Somers texture chart matching those of the Fletcher, i.e. placing items at similar places; use Gimp, Photoshop etc. (may work well for simply schemes)
2. make your own charts matching the original charts (use Gimp ...)
3. (hard way) change the UV mapping of the Fletcher 3D model to make it match the Somers texture charts
