However if you plan to expand this project to other uboats then there would be a requirement for changes over the original .dat files

Here it is, with emblem selection enabled for OMEGU.

Boats with little square area on their conning towers are troublesome. I will deal with that by either using a part of the tower's mesh (laborious) or make emblems for those boats smaller.

Hey Othr,
With this latest version I can't get the custom emblem to show up on any of the boats. The flotilla emblems work fine. It's possible it could be just my install. Also there's this issue with some of the boats, looks like the placement just needs to be tweaked a little bit.

Your mod is a big breakthrough Othr, congrats! Also check your pm's.

Yes that is a rather odd paint job

As I mentioned before, this boat is one of the ones with little flat area on the conning tower too. But yes that definitely is not placed well, thanks.

Was just doing a code review of your latest work. Your need to download OMEGU_v210_Hotfix3 and use the "Equipment.upc" in this mod. Your current "Equipment.upc" is stepping on a "high priority" fix.

Ah, ok I get what you're saying now, you can't "bend" the object on a round surface, it has to be flat. Roger that.

It would be possible to 'bend' it, but that would complicate things somewhat. Except using just one flat model for the emblem you would have to have multiple models that would match conning tower curvature for each tower. Unfortunately it is not possible with S3D to bend the model itself (or maybe?).

That means a fixed area where the model goes, the flat model is more flexible because you can move it around provided there is enough flat surface for it to stick well.

To lurker:

Found the issue and fixed it, I'll upload the new version in a few.
