German flag in the Zentrale

VONHARRIS · 04-21-11, 03:39 AM

In the movies "U-571" and "In enemy hands" there are some scenes where a German flag is hanged in the Zentrale of an Uboot.

I would like to do the same in my IXC but my modding skills are not enough to perform such a job.

I am not using any interior mods in my game.

Any help please?

Hi mate, do you mean in the control room?.

Kind regards

Control room = Zentrale

Hi mate,

That's what I thought, I wonder where they hang it?.

I think a flag in control room is not realistic.
It's a cliché since 'In Enemy Hands' and 'U-571' are US movies...

I agree , but there is no harm in doing so , in my game.

@Aces ,
If I remember well it was placed in the area left of the hatch leading towards the stern.

Okay mate,

I'll think on this, any screen shots would be handy, was it hanging on he wall somehow?.

@Aces

Check this part from the movie "In enemy hands"

The scene I am reffernig to is at 0:21/2:19

Sorry that I can not make a screenshot.
I hope that ypu got the idea.

Thanks so much.

EDIT: I hope this is more helpful , it is what I was trying to do.

Moin,

Regardless of historical correctness, it is possible of course. But I don´t reckon you´d get away with just changing a texture file as is because the bulkheads use the same base texture over and over again. Therefore you´d encounter multiple (distorted) occurrences of your flag.

You´d have to introduce a new 3d model to the CR.dat + it´s needed texture maps. You´d have to render the needed ligthmaps as well. Quite some work for just a flag. Besides the CR.dat is, depending on the mod setup you use, a rather big file.

Regards,
DD

RE historical correctness, I think that eventually on certain celebrations they hanged a flag there, but of course never as usual thing during patrol. I know in turn for sure that on Xmas they frequently had tree and lights

this placement seems, to me to me to be the directors choice. its seems like the director here, feels the need to make sure you know "these guys are the bad guys" (hense the swastika), in case you didnt notice they are in a uboat
