[REQ] Show #Kills on Conning Tower

FritzHeinz · 04-01-07, 03:12 AM

I saw some of the new skins for various boats, and I especially like the small japanese flags indicating the number of kills. Wondered if it is possible to make a mod where you get those markings automatically after a patrol with succesfull killings

Unfortunately the mechanics in the game don't work like that. You have to do that manually one by one after each patrol in that case, and that's tedious. I guess one could make a program that did this sort a automatic, similar to the conning tower emblem function in SH3 and implement that in a SH4 Commander or what ever will come...still a long shot.

You could produce skins of all combinations of kills

(#merchants, #warships) --> (0,0), (1,0), (0,1), (1,1), (2,0), (2,1), (2,2),(0,2),...

and choose the right skin after your patrol, but thats indeed tedious and I hope this can be automated in some way because I already downed some 21 ships and a few planes in just 3 patrols...

There's a tool like that already for Il-2 called paint victories. It is made for Il-l2 aircraft skins but something similar could be made for SH4??

Great idea! I'm sure somebody will make a mod to do exactly that or a combo to go with jsgme.
