[REL] FooBor's High-res skins (clean & weathered)

[LukeFF]

Foo, any chance of you releasing updated skins for all the boats in the late-war scheme? Currently the radar masts and the horizontal section of the bridge that holds the TBT, compass, and engine telegraph (plus those individual objects) still retain the older black scheme. From the USS Batfish:



Plus, there's also those deck guns, flack guns, and radar sets that could use a touch up as well... :hmm:

Hi Luke,

I will have to see in to that someday.
But for now I have a lot of other stuff to do.

One of the big problems is that a part of the texture is used on several parts of the ship.
This also happens with the conning tower.
I know that the horizontal part that holds the TBT is a larger scale then on other section.
This means that is always a lower resolution then other parts.

I am working on new versions of the recognition manual.
Further I am also still trying to get the clipping distance of the camera better.
I want to get rid of the disapearing smoke when you look upwards.

I thought this was fixed, hadn't noticed it in game. Need to look more closely I guess.

It's better, but still there.
Especially with smoke from the smokestack.

Just look at the boat from your conningtower.
Then look up. After a short time you will see that the smoke dissapears.

Not a problem, thanks for replying. All of your work is top-notch stuff.

Foo,

I really like the skins you made here. I had originally gotten the porpoise class that is excellent. Currently I'm testing a mod for RFB. I have to use either the Gato or Balao class for the mod. There was no way I was leaving port in the rust bucket stock skins. I loaded up the Gato and Balao skins. Quite nice! I imagine this is how they looked because these were new boats straight out of the yards. Fresh paint and looking smart Great job!

Here is a website that you may find interesting regarding USN camo schemes for WWII - the link is for the submarines but it covers the entire USN including correct FS Numbers, who had what when.

I am sorry . The download link is not available.

How long will the Killflag.net be back?

I have say.. for me these skins change the game entirely!

simply the single best mod I have downloaded.

I tried out the Tambor "a bit weathered" skin, and I swear it looks JUST like the old navy photo you posted!

well done indeed.

looks especially nice in 1080p.

you probably no longer follow this thread, but you have my thanks for a job well done.

oh, here is a another link that has all these skins, and I think maybe every mod that has ever been made for both sh3 and sh4:

@Onkel Neal;

Could we get this venerable treasure trove of Mods saved on the forum, as it would be a shame to loose them.
