I need your wisdom Vets

Ok I haven't modded textures in a long time, actually since DOW came out. I'm a little rusty. This is still work in progress. I want to know what you guys think. I used Fubars IXB Schlickgrau 58 file Turm9c file to experiment with.

I don't want to infringe on Fubars personal work. So if there is a way to extract these file directly. who knows and what program do I need to do it with? Please I'm all ears
Never mind the program to extract the TGA files I figured it out.

Fubar I only used you file as a texture base. I broke down each part into a layer. The file is now my base template. Then I changed the textures with other pics only using your original as a faded layer to add highlight or shadow. Now I see that all files are 8bit. I'm using 32 bit when working on it and then save the picture to 16bit tga file. Why 8bit or 16bit? does it make a diffrence? I get no issues with 16bit file.

Heres what I've done so far.

I like details. I wanted to add age to the bridge. Also I want it to feel wet damp slicky. Plus with bad weather and salt water adds some wear and tear to each part. I love the metal flooring but it looks unused. I might have to damage it abit.

I don't know why the UZO isn't textured? Any clues? Fubar it shows when I use your textures only for U-Boats IIV's and IX's? Even with mine it shows as well. I think I read a post somewhere stating about this issue yet it slipped my mind.

I like the age in the wood. Also the texture shows it nicely. Metal shows a little wet depending on the angle of the sun.

Here you can see a rough texture. Weather and age has added rust and chipped paint. I don't feel happy with the exterior. I like it but doesn't feel right? Its cool but looks too old like someone raised the U-boat from the sea after 20 years. :hmm:

Fubar Camo IXD works nicly with my texture.

Any Ideas to change or improve it I'm all ears. Fubar since this is your base file I'm not posting it yet till I get your approval. The con tower is ready as a beta if you give the ok.

Now that I can extract the Dat files I will change it. I think I figured out why the UZO is white. Another thing to fix.
