Simply dropping the new emblem in the tex folder, is not enough for the game to recognize it. You should either enable A Fistful of Emblems and follow its instructions on how to use custom emblems with it (beware mod incompatibilities though), or follow my instructions on how to add new emblems in game

should the other methods I have suggested yesterday not be viable for you, you can always overwrite one of the stock emblems with the new one.

I know uboataces.com. It is one of the most complete on-line resources when it comes to u-boat emblems, and I often use it as reference. On the other hand, its emblems (which, I think, are scans taken from Hogel's Embleme, Wappen, Malings) are quite small, and I only use them as templates for my own work when I haven't anything better.

My other on-line general resources include also:

http://uboat.net/special/emblems/
http://www.u-historia.com/uhistoria/...oots/ubxub.htm
http://www.uboatnet.de/Artikel/Artik...tenstaedte.htm
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...05#post1073905
http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtop...aac511f9f9d299

Excellent emblem pictures and drawings can also be found in the magazines of the U-Boot im Focus series

Sorry for the late reply Lindley. Somehow I had overlooked your post

The probable reason is that you tried to "activate" the new emblem in an old campaign. Any change to u-boat upgrade files requires a campaign restart. I should have mentioned it from the beginning...

Nice screenie by the way, but I can't clearly see emblem's transparency from it. Is the horizontal welding visible through the emblem itself? Does their blending look natural enough?
