just do it yourself BH

you been here long enough to know there are lots of people here who will help you with it every step of the way.

use Paint.NET to do the image files and the rest is fairly simple putting the right files together so it replaces the stock images.
you really will be surprised how easy modding is once you get started. this is your baby so make it happen.

there is nothing hard about modding, it just takes time and patience and the desire to do it.

how will we ever have new mods unless people are willing to make them instead of asking for them? the modders that created all the mods we use have all but retired and moved on so if anyone wants a new mod they aren't the ones who are going to create it just because someone asks for it.

we need new modders and its easy to see you have a desire to make the game better so why not be one of them?

Actually I am (and have been for a while) in the middle of a major add on for RSRD. Adding some traffic in missing areas, some major convoys missing etc. A lot of working to get times and dates just right.This includes Sea of Okhotsk and Kuriles which is missing a lot, thus the request for the cold weather clothing.Also added some ships to certain groups that were missing such as Nagato battleship etc I have looked over the files for the clothing and just draw a blank and was hoping someone who knows what they are doing would make it simple. I have the summer off and it's rained quite a bit so a lot of time to do it.However, I have a trip coming up soon then classes resume so if want my mod out sometime this year, would be nice.I asked the creato rof the S boat winter clothing mod for help because the mod for s boats i perfect, exactly what looking for, except need it for fleetboats.

I suppose if no one is willing to do it, I will have to take the time but it keeps pushing things back.

well AFAIK changing clothes is just taking the image files used for the crew and changing what they look like.

no one bothered with it because it can only be put into the game "wehen called for" and not just left like that.

as we joked about doing pearl in parkas sure looks silly

I don't remember where it is but IIRC its in the textures files but you have to dig to find them since there are a lot of files in there. you can even do the fishermen and hula dancers

Well I think it looks even more silly to be in the Sea of Okhotsk , northern japan in winter etc wearing what crews would have on when the boat is off borneo etc. Like so many things with SH 4, its either or.

look here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Textures\TLowRes\tex\asian fisherman_7

and that's the clothes one of the fishermen wear, it will take a little searching and time to find them all (fishermen, ship crews, warship crews, sub crews) but with patience you will have the mod your wanting
