Venatore's Drive Through

[Venatore]

PLEASE READ

Hello,

• This is where you will find all mods that were either created by me and the alternative mods that were created by other modders to which I've either combined or altered in someway (permission given of course). You will not find the big mods like GWX here, but the more smaller eye candy & sound candy mods.

• If the mod was not created by me, I will always inform you of this, and give as much credit to the original creator/s as they so deserve. I will inform you if I have used someone else's creation in two ways so as I can not be accused of stealing someone's mod and claiming it as solely mine alone. The 1st method will be via this thread. If I place a mod on here I will always give information in the form of "notes" just prior to the pictures or download link. the 2nd will be the read-me file attached within the download.

• I've decided to combine my mods and the alternate mods that I use in my game so you can try out what I use just to see if it's to your liking.

Happy gaming !

ELITE U-BOAT UNIFORM - BLACK

• I made this mod so that the U-boat crews in the Silent Hunter III PC game would look elite & professional. The items contained within this mod; are in my opinion, the best looking & most realistic.

• A large majority of items contained in the mod were created by Fubar. I sought permission from him to alter & re-mod his uniforms. Fubar granted permission & Full credit goes to him for being the originator of the uniforms contained within this mod. I also tried to gain permission to use Knorad Krumm's white cap. I utilised PM, ICQ & email methods, but was unable to make contact with him to secure his permission. In his readme documentation it stated to give him credit if his cap was to be used in another mod.

• I used Fubar’s uniforms as a base template (starting point); to create the Elite U-boat Uniform series. By incorporating this mod into your game, your crew will be wearing the best officers caps, schiffchen cap, deck gun & AA helmets, leather jackets, shirts, wet weather gear, boots, belts, belt buckles, buttons, German eagles, gloves, trousers, trouser clips, that BDU has to offer the Kriegsmarine U-boat service. Also included in this mod are the best faces, for both officers & enlisted sailors that I could find to merge into this mod

• An additional uniform has been included in this mod; it is your own personnel U-boat commander uniform, complete with Konrad Krumm's white cap. Please remember that if you use the white cap, all officers posted to your U-boat will also wear the same coloured headdress.

• This mod is 100% compatible with the GWX Expansion mod & all GWX patch upgrades.

• This mod should be used in conjunction with JScones Generic Mod Enabler (JSGME).

• This mod has the correct file structured pathway to be utilised with the above mentioned JScones software product.

• This mod is zipped with WinRAR.

• For best results, consider using my "Compulsory U-boat Headdress" mod. This can be located in my modding thread at Subsim.

• Once again I would like to thank the following Subsim members for granting permission, creating the files contained in this mod or for sending me files that I so desperately need to complete this mod; they are as follows;

Fubar
Konrad Krumm
HW3
Lutzow

THE OFFICER ICON

• The mod replaces thoses officers who wear hats only. The officers will be universal in appearence, similiar to the universal subordinate crew members. Those officers that do not wear hats will remain the same.
  

• This mod is compatible with CWX mod & has the correct file path structure to be used in conjunction with JSGME.

Very nice Ven.

One question. can the Officer icons show a different face for eacn one? All the same makes it hard to tell them apart. And some poor woman has 5 identical sons in one U-boat as officers. I'd hate to see her lose all 5 at once.

[Evil Jester '76]

Thank you very much Venatore. These black shirt uniforms look so elegant, I just had to get them.

I downloaded them all looked at each file and combined the ones that I like. But for the main uniform I have done a little tinkering in the form of cutting/merging/re-colouring and re-texturing. I have not altered the helmet/wet weather gear/heads/caps/hats & hands because i think these are the best of all. This mod contains everything you need for you crew to look like the photo's below.

• Evil jester 76, saw this crew and asked to have a look at it so here it is. Remeber this mod is not new, but its what I use in my game.

• This mod is compatible with GWX mod.

You can enable anything with JSGME, as long as it has the correct folder structure. Like "Crew Mod/Data/Crew ..."

Tuddley3 is correct, I will never put a mod on here that does not have direct folder structure. All modders must cater both for the experienced and not so experienced members with regards to using mods. All mods that I put here I use with the JSGME and GWX, so if it works for me then I would be very surprised if it wasen't the same for you.

Gt182,
I agree with your comments, however it was impossible to find the same type of officer icon which would look the same. So I decided to keep the tradition of universal appearence. I would have prefered to have different faces and not have five officer sons, but when you look at the subordinates well, I now think there all related.

[Tuddley3]

It would be easy to alter the icon faces. \SilentHunterIII\data\Menu\Data\ofaces

This is not an example of the faces, I just wanted to show-off my barracks screen(File Cabinet in office)
