any way to make the standard issue side emblems larger ( and in color-- green)?

To my knowledge, u-boat emblems can be no larger than 256x256 and the maximum color depth is 24bpp (16.7 million colors).

However, you can make your emblem as colorful as you want, even using photographs or other artwork you like such as anime, comics, etc. so long as you convert it to a 256x256 24bpp .tga file.

So boot up Photoshop, GIMP, or whatever and make some emblems. If you want to do something simple like making an emblem green or converting a picture into the proper format, IrfanView is a good choice. It has some basic editing tools and effects plus it can use .8bf plugins for more functionality. IrfanView can do many other things too numerous to mention here.

If all you want is just a green laughing swordfish to make you happy, then here...

Filename is Laughing Swordfish.TGA, only this is a new version.

Simply put this in your SH3 sub emblems folder, usually located at:
"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Emblems\SubEmbl ems"

I used the emblem from U-96, added a vivid green color and a black outline to make it stand out, then tweaked the details. It's all yours to do with as you wish.

Hope this helps.
