GWX Skin Pack

[LukeFF]

Excellent!

Does SH3 Commander only load the appropriate skins on patrol *start*? What if, while playing Sh3, you switch around campaigns - play a 1944 one for a bit, jump to a 1941 campaign, etc.

Can SH3 Commander handle that, or are the skins 'fixed' at launch time?

Someones been a busy little bee. This is an outstanding addition. I thank you for hard work on consolidating this as a package, I can see alot of long hours sitting in front of the screen to present this to the forum members

Much appreciated.

I've updated the GWX webpage with these links and will add more as they become known to me.

@XanderF: Boris is right. Pls consult the SH3Cmdr Help.html file for more information.

Ichy, great work mate!

Great! Can't wait to try it out!!

Most Excellent, Have downloaded (whew) and once I have finished this patrol I'll install, Thanks!

[poor sailor]

Great work! Thank You for this very nice addition! But only for now FileFront is problem, I'll try later to download!

Thanks for putting this together.

May I ask if there is likely to be the equivalent for the subs? When I first installed GWX I remember that if one uses SH3Cmdr then was not to install the skins add-on at that time.

Cheers.

There is a debate on the GWX Development and Beta Testing Teams about Sub Skins as well. The reason why they were not included is simple. GWX Devs wanted to have the skin pack relesed to the general public as soon as possible, and more Beta Testing for the sub skins would have caused delays. Hopefully very soon a sub skin pack add on would be made and released as well (depending on how the debate turns up obviously )

We have discussed creating a similar skin pack for sub skins but I am not sure how much interest there is in this. I know I prefer to choose which skin I use rather than have one assigned to me. However, if it looks like there is a lot of interest in this idea and I can convince Fubar to help me again, something like this is very possible. How do the rest of you feel about having historically accurate changes in sub skins through time?

You were instructed not to use the old skin pack because some of the ship names changed in GWX. This meant the old skin pack had the wrong folder and file names for some of the skins which would create problems. That is also why this new skin pack will only work with GWX. It would be possible for someone to port most of this new skin pack to stock SHIII or one of the other supermods or even your own custom mod simply by renaming folders and files to make it compatible. However, most of the capital ships are not multiskinned so you would have to replace the ship *.dat files or extract the skins from the dats and import them into your dats.

Yep, the skins are fixed at launch time, according to your next career patrol date. If you decide to go on to another year while still in game nothing will change. That's why it's best to launch with SH3 commander before every patrol.
