Is there no response to the look of the new skin at all? Good, bad, ugly? Please, a few comments, second oppinions, would be great before I start working on more skins and finish this one, so that I don't waste time doing stuff noone thinks is good.

I tend not to run "Camo" paterns on my U-Boat.
BUT I am a HUGE sucker for Schlickgrau paint. I LOVE the high detail darker paint jobs and a little rusty look. I will be useing this as soon as it is finished. Or did I miss the link ? Where are the files at so I can give it a go. I got pretty good at it doing my ships in Sh4. Gotta love Gimp.

It's not out yet, I wanted to see if anyone was interested at all, before spending time making the new skins ready for all u-boats/conning towers etc. But great, if there's an interest, and people think the new look is better, I'll get them done ASAP.

Thanks a lot for your help Danevang ! The last silly question is : does this panel shows up only when the sub is at its base ? Been searching in the game and some forums and was not able to find it yet. Sorry for being a weight

The screen shows up in base when you talk to the upgrade/torpedo guy to the left of the guy in the fancy uniform giving you missions.
A little game u-boat info: -There are only type VII (type 7) in the game. -You start out with a variant "A" (Type VIIA) -You should later get a "B", but the game is buggy, and gives you a "C" instead. -You start with a standard conning tower on all new u-boats, and have to use renown to get the larger one at the upgrade guy in base. I hope this makes it clearer. Last edited by Danevang; 04-05-10 at 04:17 AM. |

They're in the data/Textures/TNormal/tex folder. There's a conning and a structure file for every skin. You can check my mod to see what the files in there are called. Last edited by Danevang; 04-05-10 at 04:17 AM. |

Ok, here's a little update. The skins are coming along, and I've almost got all of the Type VIIC skins ready. Now I have a question for you guys:
Should I release the whole skins pack when every u-boat is ready... or... should I release the mod as type packs, so that you can get the VIIC skins soon, and the rest when they are finished? The Type VIIC skins alone are about 150mb, so it might be nice with packs? Or? Last edited by Danevang; 04-05-10 at 04:17 AM. |

Ok, I'll release the skins as packs. As I said, I'm almost finished with the VIICs, so I'll release them as soon as they are ready. It shouln't be long.
In the first version the VIIC skins available (for both conning towers) will be: Hellgrau 50 Schlickgrau 58 Blaugrau 58/1 Blauschwartz 58/2 Camouflage with dots Camouflage with irregular shapes Camouflage with stripes Camouflage with waves Alberich coating U-404 U-552 Last edited by Danevang; 04-05-10 at 04:17 AM. |

Ok, here's a preview of the skins that will be in the first skin pack released, for the Type VIIC. Some colours may seem close to each other in apperance, but as the goal with this mod, and in future releases, is to make the u-boat colours available to the player as varied as was the case with the actual u-boats of WW2, several tones of gray are included. All skins will be available for both the standard and the upgraded conning tower (the Wintergarden).
The pack should be ready within a few days, if not before. |
