[WIP] More Turms Your Way!

01-01-11, 03:22 PM

I never did finish the rest of the Turms for a very dumb reason.
I tried to rush something and for whatever reason?

I brain locked and could not figure out why nothing was working right!

I was asked by PM to add the Turms Your Way to a private setup for a member here.

So I did.
That's when the problem hit me again!
The background for the Emblems would not be rendered clear!

After WAY to many hours trying everything I could think of it still did not work!
Then the "DUHH!!" hit me!
I had started adding reflections of the emblems to the Dats!
Once I removed those?
The basic Mod worked as before.

A perfect example of "Modder Screw Up" by rushing things!
Do one step at a time.
ALWAYS!
Even if you THINK you know what your doing!

So stand by for some more Turms Your Way!!
Starting with the Type IIA.

Hi privateer !

That sounds very good

, BUT: I think this is not compatible with LSH / WAC, right ?

Best regards,
Magic

i'm not 100% familiar with terms in modding such as turms (i just loled), what does this mod do exactly?

Great job Jeff! I've never used it, mainly because I'm a luddite and afraid to try anything that involves more than just pasting it in. But with a Type II? Looks like this old dog is going to have to learn a new trick.

Turm is the German term for Turret, which is their word for the Conning Tower. This mod lets you add new and better emblems to the Tower, including those that go on the front rather than the sides, and it lets you make your own emblems, so you can have anything on your boat that you like!

Stuff like this.

This is the area you can use for your Custom Emblems.

As for LSH and WAC or other Mods?
I can make the base 3D parts needed,
and instructions on how to do it, available if someone wants them.

Frequently when a kaleun was awarded a RK the crew would paint a maltese cross on the front of the tower. When he got the leaves they would add several large leaves on both sides. Some ships would also put their tonnage on the tower too if it was over 100,000. I've got a photo of a type I that on its tower its got the open sharks mouth with all the teeth. Some crews got very creative in decorating the tower.
