Uboat skin resolution

Dowly · 09-13-07, 04:23 PM

Is there anyway to go around the restriction it has for the resolution? Or would that be hardcoded? I really want to make myself a very high resolution skin (2048 x 2048). :hmm:

Thanks for the help!

re-UV map the 3D model with a higher resolution. When you go to create texture choose the higher resolution you want to use.

Bud, do you still have the original GW? All the skins were 2048 x 2048.

I might have copies of the TGAs from GW if you need them.

I think, the player boats are fully scaleable, you could make a 4096 x 4096 if you wanted, just need to make a new TGA.

Danlisa if you still have original GW may I have a copy too.

4096x4096 hmmm sound good.

Do I have to image size it before I save the file or will SH3 accept the 4096 tga file as is?:hmm:

Well, the thing is, if you want to create a 4096 skin, you will need to double the size/rez of the 2048 and then repaint the TGA as the enlarging process will blur the details but it could be used as a template. If you just resize the TGA files, you will not get a higher rez, it needs repainting.

As for the 2048 skins from GW, I have those as a separate pack (VIIB/C & IXB/C/D2), the Type 2 & 21 will require repackng of their DAT files and as such I never bothered, partly due to the fact I never use them but can certainly extract and upload them. You will, however, need to pack them into the respective DAT for your version of the game.

VII Textures (2048) - HERE

IX Textures (2048) - HERE

These are packed into JSGME ready folders, just enable & go.

Thanks & Credit go to Fubar who originally created these for GW.

Top work.

Ow... I remembered that the limit was 1024x1024... oh well.. glad I was wrong!

Thanks for the files Dan! Tho, I was more of a looking a type II. But no worries, I can reskin the boat from scratch.
