How to change sub skin?

[baracoeda]

Hi,
Im trying to add some text to the hull of my sub but it ain't working.
I started to download a dds converter so i can convert the dds files to jpg and then edit them in photoshop. I re-convert them en put them back in the folder of the sub (data/submarines/*****) But when i try them ingame ,i see that nothing is changed at all.
The submarines just look like they always looked.

What have i done wrong or can someone explain to me how it must be done because i want to mess a bit whit the skins and add some things to it to personalize it

Already thanks

Baracoeda

(ps: if this turns out to be a great noob question or just a stupid mistake of me, already srry :p

Hey Baracoeda,

When you open the edited dds file, can you see your changes ?
If yes, there are 2 files with the hull skins T01 (early war) and T02 (late war).
Did you change both ?

yeah i changed both in porpoise class and went on a career and training mission with porpoise but never saw my edits!

I'm gonna try more tomorrow but if someone knows the solution that would be nice


Or tell me how you guys do it?

The only thing that I can think of now is low and normal res skins.
In your folder there are also T0?lr.dds files..

Do you have "use normal maps" enabled in option menu ?

I use DXTBmp to convert DDS to BMP's.

i have set everything to the highest lvl so i think that is on

But i think that i only changed t01 and t01_lr but not t02.

But the training mission with porpoise class is early war and career starts in the beginning of the war so i should work?

khoop echt dat het gaat lukken, alvast merci e foo

The training missions play in 1943.
