They both look great in the game but it is down to personal choice which one you use...I personally prefer No1.

No1

No2

I'll go ahead and do a bit more necro-threading.

Where in the blazes has this been hiding, and why has it taken me so long to find it? Downloading the instant I get home, won't even stop to kiss the wife first!

You neglect the wife and you may well end up being the damaged mod

SH4, has it's own damage models... which, if it were... feasible to translate/transfer the damage images from this, clearly SH3 mod, to SH4... would take a whole lotta work to do so.... just so you know.

Since much more TMAPping is involved in SH4?
Perhaps that's part of it?

You could try converting the tga to dds and check the results.
But I suspect it won't work.
Check the original file in SH4 for Alpha channels also.
And the original ships skins for Alphas also.

In case someone wants to use this with Silent Hunter 4, I've found out a way to do it.

I only use it with SH3 ships ported to SH4 and things like that, as I consider the SH4 system to look better, but it takes a lot of time to make new 3D models for the damage. This a fast way to get decent-looking holes in the ships in a very short time.

A) You have to rename the files into something different, so they don't overwrite the original SH4 files, which have the same name but are way different. In my ships, I simply exchanged the last _a of the .TGA files for a _b.

B) Then you need to edit the .val file of the ship with S3D and add a VisualDamage controller, just like in a SH3 ship. Set the Parent ID of this controller to the main node of the ship in the .dat file.

C) Then set the controller properties. I use the same ones as in the SH3 ships, changing only the name of the textures to the ones renamed previously.

And that's it. You have to repeat those steps with every ship, but the copy/paste of S3D can speed up the process, as you don't need to make any changes between ships (only the parent ID). A bit of work when you have a ton of extra ships in your installs, but I think it's worth the effort.
