[REL] Gato skin with / without sub number

no other numbers can be done yet because of mirror images

You can use 181

That's the number of USS Pompano, Perch class, and it is with that sub and number how the "Pacific Aces" mod for SH2 started already a long time ago

In SH2 we also had the same "mirroing" problem and were initially limited also to the only two US sub models in SH2/DC, Perch and Tambor. Given the hull numbers available, Pompano was obviously spot on.

Oh, and I almost forgot: Boats were painted light grey only in late war. But your skin is very nice!

LOL.. I am now making a skin for Balao. And I wanted to add 181 to that sub until other numbers can be used.

About the light grey. Those are the only color pictures I can find as example for the boat..

I someone has a nice picture or drawing in color, I can try changing the skin color.

Great job, downloading now.

As for the hull numbers, I guess I wasn't the only one hoping and praying that we'd get the correct hull number automatically printed on the boat like in Destroyer Command. Oh well, perhaps someday...

That is what I am going to work on next.. In SHIII there was a posibility to add decal on your boat. I am going to try to use those decals in SHIV for numbers.
I won't be automatic. But it would be glad if we can use more than 101 and 181.

After that the Purpoise class is next.

I love this skin... I just wish I could get numbers on more boats...

I have this mod installed and don't see the 101 on the Gato when I select a Quick Single Mission using the Gato. I copied both NSS_Gato_T01.dss & NSS_Gato_T02.dss to the Data\Submarine\NSS_Gato folder; and also the 2 NSS_GatoTower_T01.dds & NSS_GatoTower_T02.dds to the Data\Textures\TNormal\tex folder... Does it only show up for the model 200? Not sure what I could have done wrong...
