Conning Tower Art

Is there a post to help you make your own Conning Tower Art?

For SH3 if you just want a stock-style emblem I think all you need is to make it a square .tga file and make sure the background is transparent and then use whateve artwork you like for the actual emblem.

If you want really custom emblems including the freedom to put them in different places all around the turm, do a search for threads about Privateer's Turm Emblems Your Way mods (possibly found also under Turms Your Way). IIRC he hasn't done them for all the turm types so far but has at least one of each for the IIs, VIIs, and IXs.

Some (maybe all) of them are also worked into the more recent versions of Aces' Super Turms mods for GWX.

That reminds me..

I've been reading a lot on u-boat archives.com, and I've noticed that some reports mention that a few boats had camouflage schemes? Some where coloured dark grey/black, others had a green-ish camo..

Is there any of these camo's available for download? Or, is there a guide on how to make em?

Want you want are camo uboat skins, you can start in the Downloads sections here under Silent Hunter III>Graphics Mods>Skins. There are camo skins out there.

Also try Jimbuna's Filefront page

http://www.gamefront.com/files/user/JimbunaGWX2/

as I think he had zipped up downloads of all of Fubar's great skins, there may be some camo skins in there as well. (If not, you'll still have Fubar's skins, which are great).

I like Wolfehunter's skins, they've got great attention to detail and many are historically correct:

You can find more by doing an advanced search in the mods forum. Just look for posts started by Wolfehunter.
