Were are the submarines skins located?

They are in the unity assets bundles.

Unity asset bundle extractor works, or at least the version I have does. It's a little tricky to use, but you can export - then change - and re-import textures into the resources asset bundle.

Here's the skin for Tango class.

What I haven't been able to do yet is get textures to work in the override folder, so you are limited to a modded bundle which is pretty inconvenient for distributing any skins, and when patches arrive etc... till someone figures it out.

I might try something else, I may have got the directories wrong or messed up the file format/name etc when I tried the override folder.

jace, have what type of material textures doe the game use, is it just rgb normal maps and greyscale speculars or is it one of those combined maps?

[Jace11]

Separate diffuse, specular and normal.

Each of those also has an alpha channel too.

Format seems to be .dds DXT5 in the bundle, but I can only extract it as a .tga or .png cause of the extractor plugin.

[MekStark]

format is tga and png, usually tga being diffuse and normal or specular being in png, all with alpha ofc as for example specular has glossiness in png's alpha

thanks. i might like to increase specular contrast to give subs a wetter look

As a person new to modding, how do I know where each part of the texture file goes?

Let's say I would want to draw a name or smiley or whatever on the side of the sub. How do I know where on the PNG I should draw that?

Thanks!

Just keep in mind that they will be more glossy underwater too.

I think you'll just have to guess.

Now that 1.08 has fixed access to the textures, could you PM me on where I can buy the Unity Asset Bundle Extractor? What software would I need to purchase? I am interested in doing some custom textures for the various boats I served with. Especially now that the textures can simply be put in an override folder, instead of having to export/re-import.

Would like to see the format for the texture files to see if I can create my own. I know they have a particular format/layout to transfer from a 2D file to the correct area of the 3D models...

That is assuming Killerfish doesn't mind us doing this? Their input would be appreciated on this subject as well.

Thanks!

Ditto, I wanna put sharkmouths on the bow and "nose art" on the sail of my boat.

Edit: I need this for the CW textures. (Minecraft used as an example because it's the easiest to find.)
