VIIC ATLANTIC WORKHORSE SKIN III
Winter Camouflage Scheme (11th Bergen Flotillia)

• Please Note: I have not tried to create snow/ice on this skin, but instead I tried to develop a winter camouflage which better suites the game, what I mean to say is; it would look stupid coming back to port on a hot day covered in snow. There were U-boats who conducted operations against the enemy with a winter scheme.

• This mod replaces the skin for type VIIC U-Boat varient.
  

• This U-boat displays a fictional Atlantic Winter Camouflage scheme.

• I used Konrad Krum VIIC Skin as my skin template, (I was unable to contact this forum member to ask permission, he/her has not been to the forum for sometime. I sent a forum PM & ICQ message asking permission, I nevered recieved a reply).

• I also incorperated/merged some U-Boat files from Fubar skins which I sought permission a while back.

• I have re-textured/re-coloured the entire U-Boat upper/lower body.

• I have merged internal dials to the conning tower dial compartments.

• I have retextured/re-coloured the antanna, radar and snorkel.

• I have re-coloured/re-textured the AA guns and the 88mm deck gun.

• I have re-textured the compartment lids on the deck.

• This file mod is compatible with GWX Expansion mod and GWX patch upgrades.

• This mod has the correct file structure pathway & is compatible with JSGME.

• This mod is zipped with WinRAR.

• This skin is dedicated to a Subsim member; callsign Lutzow (for being very patient with the paint dock workers at the 11th Flotilla Bergen U-boat Painting Facility)

Which conning tower is giving you the trouble? I can send you a UV Map showing the location of the hatch texture location.

IIRC, the IXB/1 tower is skinned from the Hull.tga but the IXB/2 tower is skinned from the turm_9c.tga. Don't forget the IXB & IXC share the textures. Either way, I have managed to skin them in the past, so let me know.

Thats the problem Danlisa, I'm not sure; I tested it from 1939 to 1945 and the hatch is the same all the way through(not skinning). Do I have to include all trum files for the IXB/IXC to enuse I nail the suspect hatch ?

The problem is the hatch shown on the turm.tga/hull.tga does not match the UV Mapping location. So you can skin the hatch on the tga as much as you like and it won't take. What I propose to do for you is give you a screenshot showing the actual location that you actually need to paint.

These are the only files you need for the IXB:
NSSUboat9b
Turm9c
Turm9c_1
mask_type9
deck_9b
Typ21_20mm_UFlak
UFlak_High
conning_stuff

Just make sure that you don't have an IXC skin enabled at the same time as they share files.

Dang you Venatore, I just moved out of my VIIC. Looks like I'll have to start another career just so I can use this skin Great work. Love both this and the new IXB skin.

That would be great Danlisa. I try so damn hard to give the members good quality mods and something like this just eats away at you.

If I can you can show me where that hatch is hiding I will cut and pate a hatch to its location on my master skin template (IXB).

waiting out

Ven.

IXB Skin 1 Amended !
Just letting everyone know that I've withdrawn the IXB skin 1 and I will reload with amended skin.

I would like to thank Danlisa for helping me rectify/identify a skinning problem with the IXB (conning tower hatch).

Give me about 2 hours to get the skin reloaded at FF & Megaupload web sites with the amended hatch.

I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused, I with ensure all complaints are taken to the highest level at BDU.

Ven.
