[WIP] Combat Flag

Hau rein, Alter

an idea struck me today as I was pounding away at this combat flag mod. When I was in the Navy our ship flew the US flag (our country's flag) and it also flew it's own flag (the ship's flag). Why not do this in our beloved SH3? This second flag could be your ship's flag, your flag, no flag at all, or whatever you want it to be. What's the concensus??

Here's a little screenie showing the idea. The second flag can be smaller, bigger, same size as first, ??? I made this real quick to show the possibility:



oh and BTW, we should be able to have pennants also.....could be attached to rear scope and if you raised the scope fully the pennants could be attached to the cables running fore and aft. Concensus on this is ?? Mind you that if you raised the scope partway on the surface then the pennants would be floating out of place because they would rely on the scope being fully raised to be in the correct position.

How did you get it to work?
It still won't work for me.

Excellent work Racerboy Already downloaded

Can this flag mod work for Type VIIC's?

And, having pennants would be even cooler

How are you installing the BETA mod? Are you using JSGME?

I've wrote this mod for all subs but won't release for all until I'm satisfied with it. Curently I have a BETA out only for the VIIb for GWX and SH3 1.4b. Shouldn't be too much longer until the mod is where I want it to be. There's only so much you can do with the SH3 game engine without an SDK.
I'm working on the 3D model for the pennant flags and their animations. Pennant flags should be triangular no? I'm under the assumption that they shouldn't look like the regular flags.

Are you just dropping the unzipped file in the JSGME mods folder or, are you opening the unzipped folder and selecting the appropiate mod folder (GWX, Stock) and putting the correct one for your version of the sim into the JSGME mods folder?

I changed the tga files to read type 7c_1_flag and 7c_2 _flag.put them manually in the texture TNormal/Tex and LowRes/Tex files.it works fine!

I now have flag for type VIIC

When I download the file I do not get a zip folder, just an indecipherable file that opens with Microsoft Office Word.

you need to download 7-zip or software that can uncompress a 7-zip file.
