Kind of a "We regret to inform you" thing?

And since I don't know the files involved,
Posthumous Awards?

Great idea. That reminds me of my days playing "Sub Battle" on my 486 as a kid. My parents tended to receive quite a few consolation messages from the Kriegsmarine...

486.

I remember when I thought a CoCo 128K was wicked!

First thing I wrote for that was a version of Risk!

I collect Risk Board games.

If you're still looking for old German fonts, I would like to lead your attention to the Fraktur fonts. You can get some for free here:

EDIT:
Some info about German language and font use:

This is where I found the link for the Fraktur fonts

I was conversing with Laufen zum Ziel last night and decided to resurrect this initiative, which kinda just fell by the wayside.

Here is an example of something I threw together in the wee hours this morning. It's a jpg file that is generated completely by code within SH3Cmdr.



Ignore size, typos etc, it's just a proof of concept.

So going back to my initial request, what I need from people/someone are raw templates in bmp format of the array of certificates that U-boat Kaleuns could receive (as they apply to the awards offered by the game).

Now I have tons of examples; I know what the documents look like, what they say and such, but what I am after is someone with graphical skills to dummy up correct size bmp templates where I can just use code to add the personalised details.

The certificates would then appear as links from the Personnel Files page.

Pls post here if you can help, or if you seek further clarification.

Nice, I look foward to this.

It will only materialise though with the support and assistance of this community.

Well, you have my full support. What a amazing little program SH3Commander has turned out to be, I can't even imagine not having it.

SH3 needs it and wants more of it !!

My graphic skills are even worse than my Kaleun skills, so if I get involved I could sink the whole project; but I volunteer to do any alpha or beta testing on CMDR or JSGME.

[Laufen zum Ziel]

I am in for what ever I can do. I am not a super graphics person but I do have plenty of time to give it a shot.

JS,

Is this the type you want?

It's the real thing but minipulated to be blank.

Beautiful work, and a touching tribute to our lost commanders. When I start playing again, hopefully I won't ever get the chance to see it. :rotfl:

Yes. Nice. Thanks.

Just need to replace the seal and Commandant details with Kriegsmarine details, and size it to real size (what size were they anyway?) and it will be sweet.

Here's an example of a U-boat one...



Replace the 2 with 1 and you have the Class 1 covered as well.

And one for the war badge...



These in "real size" (which they might be), cleaned up and sans recipient details, would be perfect.

I found a Wehrmacht issued Death Certificate...



Maybe it's better to use it rather than the newspaper announcement?

Nice looking. I will clean them up tomorrow (Monday 4/13)
