I'm using this at the moment for my current career in U-55, my Type VIIB in May 1940 (before they decided not to put the numbers on the boats):

There are some threads from back somewhere that explain it better than I can remember how, but until you find them you can try this:

The emblems I've made have been 256x256 pixels, 72 pixels per inch, 16/24 million color .tga files - if you have a picture that isn't the whole square and you don't want a square background to show up, if you flood fill the surrounding background with a color that is R:9, G:13 and B:31 it will make the surrounding part of the square transparent so only the part you want will show up on your sub.

You can use any good image editing program that can save .tga files this way - I use JASC Paint Shop Pro (Version 7 or so IIRC).

There may be something about layers that I've left off - I never really fully understood that part even when I did mine, and it was a long time since I've messed with them.

Good luck and good hunting!

FREE WILLYYYYYYY!

This is just a recommendation to anyone who wants to do their own emblems, or their own artwork of any sort.

The GIMP
http://gimp.org/

It's free, and plenty powerful. It's a little overwhelming at first, but just look for tutorials online and you'll figure it out in no time. I've never used Paintshop, so I don't know how it compares, but I know that it is pretty comparable.

I have since upgraded from GIMP to photoshop, but GIMP is also a great program. GIMP gives you more "bang for the buck," so to speak. Photoshop is over 300mb, while GIMP is less than 40mb. And even with the big size difference, performance is comparable between the two...

And not to mention, GIMP is FREE!!! That is the #1 reason to use it.

Trav_R · 11-17-05, 05:20 PM

Since you have used them both, is Photoshop really that much better? I've always wondered :hmm:
