[REL] Better Torpedo Graphics

sergei · 03-13-10, 02:27 PM

Tested with SH5 v1.1.5

Replaces the ugly stock torp graphics.
I used the stock SH3 torp icons as a base, as I think they are much nicer.
Then applied some colour variations to them, to tell at a glance what torps you have loaded.
Not entirely happy with what I've got to be honest.
I'm receptive to feedback and can easily change the colours if needed.

Yes, you have right - stock torpedoes are awfull. Thanks for better one

Decoman · 03-13-10, 02:42 PM

Thanks. Good to see there is nice a contrast between the G7a's and the G7e's.

Shadows are abit dark, but it sort of matches the dark'ish GUI.

Edit: There is one texture that is missing sort of. Probably insignificant. One can click the torpedo, and then a black outline texture will appear.

They look great - except some of the LuT's and whatnot look a little rainbow-ish. Maybe if you just changed the color of the band on the back instead of the warhead color?

sergei · 03-13-10, 03:01 PM

Yeah, there are a few too many colours going on there.
As you have said, maybe keep all the warhead colours the same (I like the gold one) and just change the body and band colour?
I'll definitely be changing this.
But I'll wait for a little more feedback first.

Very nice. Thank you.

jlederer · 03-13-10, 03:54 PM

Much better than originals, thanks!

Decoman · 03-13-10, 04:35 PM

I had in mind to create some icons anyway, so I want to ask, is there a chart or something somewhere that show how the torpedoes are marked? (how they look like, compared to each other)

I also wonder, if the torpedoes was realistically given distinct markings or paint schemes, or if the distinct markings is something tailored for the SH series.

Decoman · 03-13-10, 05:30 PM

Not to show off but I'd be more than happy to provide some rendered images with a nice alpha and such.

I quickly modeled a torpedo, propellers are missing atm.

I would only need some colors to get started.

sergei · 03-13-10, 05:35 PM

Very nice!
I got no idea what colour all the different WW2 German torpedoes were, though

The cartoony torpedoes in SH4 and 5 have bugged me big time. Thanks for your mod
