Problem with submarine emblems

[Pixilus]

I'm having an annoying problem with submarine emblems.
When you go into the UBoat options in the Career menu, usually if you click the specials tab at the right you'd at least get one option that said emblems, which you could choose to place on the side of your Uboat in-game. But after a fresh re-install (Steam Version) there is now no option at all, it's just completely blank.

See here -


I noticed that when I installed the mod NYGM Tonnage war mod the choice reappeared, but if I uninstall it it goes away.

Anyone have any ideas?
Or is it something pretty simple and I'm just an idiot?

Welcome to SUBSIM Pixilus

It's been so long since I have played stock SH3 I don't know if it even comes with emblems. I know GWX does, also there are a number of mods that add them. I have used TarJak's, it is well done.

Here is a link to a mod:Here

Stock/vanilla SH3 doesn't come with that option.

Yeah, that is what I thought.

Do you have a link to TarJaks Jim? I have it home, but have not seen it here at SUBSIM, including Maik's Archives.

Perfect, thanks

Thanks for the welcome reallydeadpoet!

Thanks for the link too, I'll give it a try and hope it works, I've tried adding some before (just the raw picture files) with no success.

It is fairly easy to make a JSGME ( mod enabler ) compatible mod:

So create a new folder and name it, let's say PixilusEmblems to make it simple. Create another folder and call it data. Put that folder inside the Emblems one you made earlier. Next name another folder emblems, put that inside the data one you made. Next create another folder and name it subemblems, put that in the emblems one. Almost done

Finally take all of those raw picture files you mention above, which are in .tga format, and copy them to that last folder you made, subemblems. Now take the mod you just created and copy it to your JSGME mods folder. Activate ( I usually do this while docked and not at sea to be safe ) and you are good to go.

Your folder-file structure for your mod should look like this: ( of note, all the below are folders as I mentioned above, the only files are the ones you copied and pasted to the last folder ).

PixilusEmblems\data\emblems\subemblems <------ that very last folder is where you put the images.

It's a little bit of work doing this yourself, but well worth it when you see the results in game

Strange... because my stock/vanilla SH3 does have the emblem option as far as I know with lots of choice
I believe I started with only the snorting bull emblem, but later on, when I looked again, there were a lot more.

Here is an emblem collection Tarjak put together several years ago, containing every emblem he could find at that time. Many of them are very unhistorical, including logos from modern American football teams. If you don't like certain ones they're easy enough to remove or just not use. They include the emblem packs created by CapZap, Church, and EvilJester.

It might be a Steam thing. Did a search and found this thread, see the second post:http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=208012

Sorry to hear that. This is a bit of a tough one for sure.

[Pixilus]

I've got a way around it for now anyways.
I just enable NYGM mod, go into game, choose an emblem, save, back out, disable mod, go back into the game and the Emblem stays on the Sub. So at least that works

A bit of a shame but at least your workaround allows you to play.
