Q about this skin...

CapZap1970 · 07-14-07, 08:49 PM

I would like to know if any of my fellow kaleuns could do this skin for the IXD2 sub.
I don't know who created it, but it's wonderful.
Thanks for your help with this one, i hope it can be done.

Thanks a lot for the info Boris...

I will check that, but if it was made based on an historical boat, then not very likely I will find this skin for the IXD2.
Anyway, I hope someone here could do it.

no news about this?

Hi CapZap,

I just looked into the tga files for a VIIC and a IXB skin. In the files that refer mostly to the side view of a sub. As they are both high res skins the files for both sub types are 2048x2048 in size.

All the sub's parts in that view are at the same position in both files. So at first it would be just a copy&paste job to port the main textures. Then one would have to recreate the IX specific details over the former U-991 textures.

Should be not that hard to do all in all. If there isn't anyone with experience in sub skin creation that finishes it before me, I will upload it and post the link here

.

Greetings, i.

Thanks a lot ichso....!!

Le tme know if you decide to move in with this skin... After reading your explanation, I will give it a try too, but more likely I will die in the attempt. I will let you know how my progress is.

Hm, I just wanted to start with the real skin and realized that it isn't on fubar's FF page and I don't have the VIIC version of it either.

Could you upload it somewhere or tell me where to get it ?

CapZap1970 · 07-16-07, 01:05 PM

Sure, but I will do that as soon as I get home. Right now i am at the office. I will send you a PM when done. Thanks again

Looks like th right one

I just would prefer the high res versions of skins I use. There is a real difference in the game. Has to be as for example the NSS_*_.tga is 4 times bigger in high res and when watched in some graphics program you can see much clearer details either.
