Repainting U-Boat Deck Color

Scorcher2 · 05-09-11, 02:29 PM

Greetings!

Having never modified anything personally in SH5 I wanted to try something simple and alter the coloring of the VIIC deck.

My question is what file should I alter and where exactly should I look in the games directory.

Thank you for any assistance you can give.

For start try 2 mod files like U_Type7_deck_01.dds found in data\texture\TNormal\tex

Same location for the con tower and sub body.

Many thanks. I will try that. I noticed that there are 2 of most of the files the difference being the capital N after the deck_01. I am guessing I should not touch that? And my last question is what is the difference between the deck_01 and deck_02??

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help.

N is for normal map, google it. And if you mod the texture, you will also need to create a new N map. It can be done also with a nvidia plugin.
