here's an update: The flag I was going to use off someone's elses sub has a problem with it. The flag doesn't stay centered on the pole (it moves in the x and z directions) while animated. Thus I had to make my own. I extracted the German.tga flag from the \data\Library\flag.dat and added it to the Turm7b_1_HD.dat file along with the necessary code. SH3 1.4b's Turm7b_1_HD already had a flagpole for it so that's where I put it. Here's what it looks like:
And from the watchstanders viewpoint:
and as the sub sinks under the water (the flag isn't visible underwater but you can see here why I want to tie it to a watchstander or something. Still it's better than nothing so far!)
and sub at periscope depth (no flag visible):
The flag looks a little big to me in regards to the sub. It's the 3D model that needs to be changed but I'm not very good at doing this kind of stuff yet. Can someone scale this down?
I've asked the Kpt. for permission to modify the Turm_xx files in GWX but am still awaiting a response back. Currently this is only available for the SH3 1.4b Turm_xx files.
It took a lot of time today just extracting and finding and adding the code necessary to make this work. I'll try to tie it to a watchstander or something tonight.
