[Rel] Type II skin updated for GWX 2.1

[Kpt, Otto]

Ive now updated all my Type II camo skins for use with GWX 2.1 Also Ive added an update for use with Rubini's Brilliant Water Streams mod. I thought I would post them up in case anyone else wants them.

***************
IMPORTANT:
***************
These skins are NOT my own work.

Both Type II/A and Type II/D were created by Fubar and my sincere thanks and appreciation go out to him.

The Type II/A however was based on Fubars original skin but the camouflage was added by GRAF, and again my sincere thanks go out to him also.

***************

Here are the updated skins:


TYPE II/A BY FUBAR AND GRAF FOR GWX 2.1



The Type II dat file is the latest one from the GWX dev team in their 2.1 release.

I have tested it and all seems to work fine.

My thanks go out to all who originally designed and created this skin/mod including the GWX dev team and Rubini.

To install unzip them onto your desktop, read the readme file that comes with it. Then place into your JSGME mods folder and enable it using JSGME.


Hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

Good hunting!

Looks good!

What changes exactly had to be made for 2.1? I have old skins that seem to work fine.

Thank you for your comments.

From my understanding the type II has the skin contained within the dat file unlike the type VII.

So I updated this version to bring together my favorite camo skin for the type II with the latest 3d model in the 2.1 release.

I think the only U-boat that is affected in this way is the Type II. In theory all other U-boat skins, for example the type VII, should not be affected as they use just a .tga file and are not contained within a dat file . :hmm:

UPDATE: See post below!

[Kpt, Otto]

Just noticed,

Its the Type II D that has the updated anchor and NOT the Type II A which was obviously correct in the first place.


Still its updated anyway. !!

This means in theory all Type II skins should work without an update and only those of the Type II D need updating.

Got it. Thanks for the explanation.

[McHibbins]

Downloaded it...installed it....like it IIA-boats looking more dangerous now

Instant buy!

Thank you all for your comments, much appreciated!

Just had a look at Rubini's brillaint water stream mod. That adds so much more to the game.

The thing is this....

From my understanding the Type II has the Uboat skin packed into the dat file. So if I want this skin to work with Rubini's excellant mod (as at the moment it does not because it uses GWX standard dat file) then I will need to import the skin into Rubini's modified dat file.

I believe this is right....? :hmm:

I am going to do this for myself as I use this skin in late 1939/1940 and also I use his great mod... is anyone interested who uses Rubini's mod in me posting up a copy specificaly for use with his water stream mod?

If somebody wants it I will post it up.

Hello gord96,

No this is not for the Type II/D it is for the Type II/A.

Fubar did do a camo version of the Type II/D and I have it somewhere. I could post it up for you if you wish but if you are using GWX 2.1 then I must first reconfigure it because in GWX 2.1 the team updated the 3D model.

Im sure this will not be a problem however. Let me know if you want it and I will try it out and if it works ok then I will post it up for you.
