[REQ] help change torpedo color

Sgtmonkeynads · 11-03-09, 08:11 AM

I have changed the .tga files in Data/library/Torpedo.dat but the new paint will not show up in game. What am I missing?

You mean you imported a new embedded texture in the .dat file?

If so all I can tell you is that if that texture file also exist in the \data\textures folders it will have precedence over the embedded one. Also if there if there's a dds file with the same name it will have precedence over the tga.

I don't know anything specifically about torpedoes, sorry.

Yup that is what I did. I did not know about the textures file though. Looks like I missed it. Thanks, I'll Look for that one tonight.

Well I looked and could not find the right file. I'm stuck.

I just want different colored fish, it can not be that hard.

Got the Ones in game to switch, but can not get the ones on the load out menu. Any Ideas where that File is? All I want are Black torpedoes with diferent war head color.

I think it's US_torpedoes512.dds and/or US_torpedoes512_sel.dds under \Data\Menu\Gui\Layout.

Son of a b....... should have known that Das FatherLand buys their torpedos from the Americans. Huh....explains the duds....
Thanks, I'll try that when I get off work.

Worked. Thanks man! I was kinda gitt'n bugged about it. Sleepless nights, thoughts of .dat fiiles and .tga's running though my head.
