Grey and camouflaged wolf on hunt [first impression].

Hi Lutzow,

With regards to the end product of the skins; I'll always try to achieve a Mat finish. I try not to have the colours looking separate from the item; may it be sub skins or uniforms.

You will see other modders producing skins that have a very dark colour that looks separate form the item or high gloss appearance, this is not wrong at all but its just different styles.

I always have the colour trying to blend in with the item so you can see the texture of what ever it is that I'm skinning behind the colour.

There are many software utilities that you can use; as you are in not doubt aware, another technique is to vary the "opacity" setting so the colour fades with different percentage settings 0 to 100 %.

I will always try to achieve a MAT finish to the item and stay away from a style that makes the paint process look in short "fake"

As for any mods tomorrow, I will be preparing to going back to work after having time off Army since the 3 Dec 07. New Job and new surprises so I don't know what I'm getting myself into on Monday morning.

I've had several requests to have a index list of mods on page one of this Drive Through for easy of finding mods.

I have now competed this index.

Through this process I noticed that I haven't uploaded the Elite Green Uniform so when I have a little spare downtime I'll get it to you.

I hope this helps with the process of finding your mods.

Cheers Ven

PS; Nearing 60 mods

Another beautiful looking skinI've noticed though Ven that there is a omission in your lineup of subs and its a personal favourite of mine.....the TypeVIIB,I don't like to make requests of modders but I must say that I've always wanted you to do a dedicated TypeVIIB similar to your TypeVIIC Atlantic workhorse3 skin,another of my favourite skins you've made,this would of course be for GWX2.0,My career in it is in the early stages of 1940 so the TypeVIIB with the turm1 is my current boat:hmm:

Hi, Venatore, am running GWX 1.3 at the moment & have you mod installed in SH3 Commander 2.7, have copied the files to overwrite the existing, am on my 4th patrol in 1939 (VIIb) & the crew still do not show any headdress, when should I expect them to show up?
I like your uniforms but there not complete ofcource.
Many thanks.

Hi Reece,

With regards to SHIII Commander 2.7 and the headdress it will depend if you have rolled back SHIII Commander.

To ensure that you have it all working correctly I would imagine that you will have to wait till you start a new patrol :hmm:

[Reece]

I haven't actually rolled back, I thought that was only if modding SH3, this is the 3rd patrol I think with your mod in, I just started a new patrol So I might go in SH3 load mission at end of last patrol then exit, roll back SH3 Commander, then launch again.
Cheers.

Poo!! still the same, I did notice that one of your files has a date stamp of 2006 (crew_config_VII_1.cfg) and all of the crew members [CREW_MEMBER_XX] have HasHelmet=No, is this correct?
