[REL/WIP] US Battleflags/Conning Tower Emblems - Page 4

Torpedo · 06-04-21, 03:50 AM

Hi vickers03 you did an outstanding work!
I ask you three questions:
- killflags appear only at port side and not starboard? (the GATO_CONNING_emblem is on both sides)
- are sampans and tugsboats to be considered as sunken merchant ships to manually update killflags?
- the files "SHIP_SUNK ..." what are they and where can they be seen?
- Can the killflags be automatically updated in the future, I don't mean in the open sea, but at least when you return to the base?
My submarine is a Gatoclass - Gato and I don't see the number but I believe it is number 212 and the activated MOD is FOTRSU 1.46.

I ask you three questions: FIVE

- killflags appear only at port side and not starboard? (the GATO_CONNING_emblem is on both sides) YES

- are sampans and tugsboats to be considered as sunken merchant ships to manually update killflags? YOUR DECISION

- the files "SHIP_SUNK ..." what are they and where can they be seen? KILLFLAGS

- Can the killflags be automatically updated in the future, I don't mean in the open sea, but at least when you return to the base? NO

My submarine is a Gatoclass - Gato and I don't see the number but I believe it is number 212 and the activated MOD is FOTRSU 1.46.
USS GATO SS-212 IS IN THE FOLDER

I'm afraid I still need more detail. I don't know how to make the right example and left example rectify. I unzip the zips into the MOD folder, as usual, and I don't get what Torp gets when he activates his. What folder am I supposed to select? Am I supposed to be unzipping into that folder and not MODS?

first unzip everything in a complete different folder (not MODS). then go into the (select_folder) and copy the one you need into your MODS folder so that it looks like in the pic.

Ah, I'm learning. (He can be taught!)

So, I've got my BF displayed in the wardroom (happy dance).

Nothing displays on the port or starboard exterior. Guessing either I screwed that up, it's not yet available or historically this boat didn't display there.

Thank you, though. This is pretty damned cool.

[edit] P.S. did a little digging online. This is Tambor at her decommissioning:

that's a FOTRSU problem (they are working on it), the Tambor uses a Gato tower so you can't see the emblem. This can be fixed by using my FOTRSU subskins in 4k mod https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=249390 or
Flaminus' patch for FOTRSU 1.46 https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=249492

If I kept up better when it comes to monitoring the threads I woulda known that.

As it is, I'm thrilled my crew has a battle flag to keep score on. Does wonders for morale (they'll have 4 more merchants to tack on if I don't score any more on this patrol.)

Aug. 15, 1942 - Tambor returns to Brisbane from her 1st patrol. Sunk 1 destroyer, 6 merchants and 4 small craft (2 large Sampans, 1 fishing boat, 1 crab boat).

30,729 tons.

Awarded participation trophy.

I'm guessing because I'm playing at 80% game difficulty (no manual targeting and stabilize view not disabled).

I did take the liberty of modifying my battle flag screenshot (I added four smaller merchant flags for the small craft and a star denoting one patrol).

Yes, this does add an element for immersion.

Decided to give Flaminus' addition a try. Starting Lcdr. T.E.Sting's career over. Drew the 'Terrible T.'

This game just keeps getting better and better (thanks to the talented and dedicated members of this community).
