Can anyone tell me if the various U-Boat skins used in GWX are specific for use only in GWX and its related Mods or can they be freely used in other Mods? If so, can they be downloading from somewhere? I haven't been able to find them.

The reason I am asking is because I am putting together a Waterstreams and Exhaust Mod for the stock game using the .dat and .val files from Rubini's Waterstream Mod and h.sie's Waterstream + Exhaust Combi Mod for GWX (which causes crashes with the stock game).

Since these Mods already contain hull and deck textures from GWX in their .dat files, I thought that (for the sake of saving people from headaches caused by mismatched skins when used with Mods made by others), rather than replace these with the stock textures it would be nice to include the extra needed textures to make my mod a little more generalized graphics update for others like me who don't use the supermods.

More specificialy, I only need to know about the textures for the IIA and D, VIIB and C, IXB, IXC, and IXD2, and the type XXI - which are the only ones used in the stock game. It would also be helpful to know their creators so that I can give due credit.

Thanks in advance.
