Default VII MED CAMO QUESTION

A few people have asked me if I can make a type VII with the med
camouflage I did on the type IXC, unfortunatley type VIIC is not possible because of the texture repeat problem on the conning towers however I should be able to make this camo for the type VIIB as the texture repeat problem is not so bad as theres not so many different conning towers.
I was thinking of baseing this skin on U83 of the 29th Flotilla I've
done a mockup hers a pic

Now does anyone want me to continue with this skin not forgetting
it will not work for the type VIIC, let me no
Fubar.

Considering I'm with the 29th flotilla, that looks damn sexy and provocative!

I bet those Brits' won't see what hit 'em!

Please, by all means, continue...

Could you post a screenshot of the problem? If you could, I'd still like to see a VIIC version. I rarely use the VIIB anymore.

The skin looks awesome, by the way!

I'd like to see a screenshot too. I'm thinking there has to be some way of getting around it.

If not though, I'm very interested in this skin for the VIIB.

Even though I use the VIIC, a lot of the u-boats in the Mediterranean were VIIB anyways... I think I'll just switch back

I always did like the wire cutters...

Hi Guys

Heres the pics so you can see the texture repeat problem

I could maybe make the position of the splotches abit better but
when you change the conning tower the splotches are repositioned in different places, heres the next pic

with the type VIIB theres only one tower so I should be able to get
something that looks ok.
speak soon Fubar.

That's not so bad at all. Could you send the texture to me at beery1@comcast.net? I'm pretty sure I can make it so that all the splotches appear without getting cut off or repeated in the wrong places.

If I know the inside mind of a modder, I'll bet that fubar wants to do all of the work himself... right?

Those misplaced splotches aren't half bad. In some sort of wierd way, I think they may actually look like they should be that way. I mean, it is splotches.

I agree with good ol' Syxx_Killer.

Some of the splotches may be a tad out of place, but mostly they look good... If you made no changes to it, I certainly would not mind it at all.
