[REL] A Fistful of Emblems

[Poacher886]

Is there an easy way to create and attach an emblem of my own to the boat with no special software or at least any i have to pay for, and study a course in college to complete?
I quite fancy seeing a little piece of my imagination slapped on the side of my boat!

Thanks

Yes it is.

1) Desable the mod ,, a fistfull of emblems''

2) Take a picture that you like and convert that in a dds file (with the exact size of 85.5 KB

3) go to C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\A Fistful of Emblems v1.51\Data\Textures\TNormal\tex

Pick a name of a dds file from this location (ex. 1st-Flotilla.dds)

4) rename your dds file that you just converted from your picture with this name

5)copy

6) go again at the same location C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\A Fistful of Emblems v1.51\Data\Textures\TNormal\tex

7) overwritte the file 1st-Flotilla.dds

Gee, that sounds easier than expected...alas i need some more detail on the following:

2) Take a picture that you like and convert that in a dds file (with the exact size of 85.5 KB

How do i convert a picture to a dds file? and how do i ensure the size of 85.5KB?

7) overwritte the file 1st-Flotilla.dds

Lets say i have my new dds file on my desktop, i go to where the original 1st-Flotilla.dds file is (for instance) and overwrite it?? do you mean remove it and replace with my file??

Thanks for your help, i can feel no end of fun watching my U-boat cruise the Atlantic with a huge butt slapped across the conning tower!

I use paint.net - about the size you will figure out playing with the program paint.net (i do not remember exactly the steps and i have not time now to look in paint.net - i am working some test) if you will not figure out the size we will speak tomorow

7) overwritte the file 1st-Flotilla.dds

Yes, thats corect!

Tested with patch 1.2.0

Description

The emblems that shipped with the game are still available. You can also use your own emblem by copying your DDS texture file to \Data\Textures\TNormal\tex\custom.dds and selecting the last entry in the emblem list.

You are free to include this in any other mods as you please.

I have commented Data\UPCDataGE\UPCUnitsData\equipment.upc and Data\UPCDataGE\UPCUnitsData\UpgradePacks.upc to show where my changes begin and end.

Hi mate,

I tryed just to add my new emblems to the mod but it did not worked - maybe i have made something wrong - or maybe i must to modify an extra file before enabling the mod- this is the only way that i managed to make things working.

Best regards!

Hi mate !

That means, that the .dds File from your own emblem must named in:

custom.dds

and then copy to \Data\Textures\TNormal\tex and after this you can choose it at last in the emblem list when you beeing in port !

And note: No other MOD don´t overwrite the two Files that comes with this MOD: Data\UPCDataGE\UPCUnitsData\equipment.upc and Data\UPCDataGE\UPCUnitsData\UpgradePacks.upc !!!!!!!

Best regards,
Magic

Depend of the type of your Uboat i think. It can be on a side also!

Salute!

[Poacher886]

Thanks guy's

I'll have a crack at this soon!!

[Poacher886]

Guys, im having some problems here!

I downloaded a painting from the net and opened it up in Paint.net. i downsized it to 84.4kb this was as close to 85.5kb as it would scale and made a few design adjustments.

Im totally happy with the job and converted it into a DDS. file. I then dropped it into Ubi/sh5/MODS/A fistfull of emblemsv1.51 / data/tex/Tnormal/tex.

It now sits below the "Custom.dds" file.

Yet i am now back at base and i does not appear in any of the emblem list???


Where have i gone wrong
Thanks

Edit: i've noticed something else...all the other dds emblems show to be 85.4kb yet mine is showing as 10.8kb?? this is strange as when i downsized it in paint.net "resize" it showed it as 84.4kb??

Im clearly needing some guidence here!!

I have not a clue where you are doing the mistake - the size must to be 84.4 kb after you save (and you must see this size all over the places where you move the dds)

How many emblems do you want? if not so many - upload the jpegs and i will upload after the dds files for you (i think when you resize you must choose 256x256)

Salute!
