Added more weathered FX and working on Bump Maps but making progress.


I think I may be saving changes the wrong way because the weathered FX dont show well when overcast. Manybe adding bump maps for weathered fx would help.

EDIT: I was saving wrong. I wast saving the DDS in DXT1 and should have been DXT5.. Looks much better when saving the DDS in DXT5.

I will save the template(s) to the download to make it easy for people to adjust the FX they want or they can use the templates for making their own new skin.
I used PainDotNet because it supports layers and it is freeware, so anyone can get it.

Damn nice, can't wait for it.

Here is my boat with this skin on.. I sooo love it !



So there is no way to alter a skin in time? Would be awesome to get out from the dock with a freshly painted sub, few weeks later it gets more and more rusty

I don't think the mechanics to evolve the skin over time exist in the game. From many of the reads I've done, It is something that has been desired for a very long time. First post about it I found was in the SH3 Forums. I don't understand why Ubi has never follow up on things like this.

There may be a way to do it by linkiing weathered effects to the fuel levels. The lower you get on fuel the more weathered your boat gets. Not really sure how it would be implemented...

Sounds logical, I suppose you will have to create multiple skins starting from the fresh paint up to the rusty one, than link it to the fuel level so it will change at every 10/20%. Heh.. now this would be an absolutely awesome mod
