Hokay it's now uploaded....

You can now get

The VII
The IX
The XXI

I have also made up another file which contains ALL three boats in the one file for those that wish it (This will solve the problem with trying to install the single boats due to them using the same files sometimes.

Can't you just put a white border around the edges of your icon or summfin??

That's the idea

I did't think about it

I've finally docked and started a new patrol with my gorgeous new rubber! :P It looks great, so thank you once again.

But, it appears there is no reflection in the water when I'm using this. Any ideas?

Some shots. Note that the landscape reflects in the water, but not my XXI:

And these last two show a visual I spotted and the XXI, taken about the same time from about the same angle relative to the sun. No reflection from the XXI:

Maybe this is related to the special problems you encountered with the XXI?

Or is it just that the Alberich is so effective that even the sun can't see it? :P

Anyway the skin itself looked awesome, so I hope there is an easy fix for this so I can keep using it.

General info:

- I installed the complete package (all three skins) using the mod enabler, but I haven't tried any of the other boats yet.

- Graphics card is ATI X800 Pro 256MB AGP.

- Also using RUb 1.43 and some other mods (including SH3 Commander), but I don't know if that is relevant.

- [Edit:] I also use a water mod that overrides the water in RUb 1.43 here, but since it didn't 'fix' the murky water in RUb I'll go back to RUb water when I return. Don't know if this is relevant either, but thought I'd mention it.

Regards,

Nopileo

You are right.. - I just checked all boats..

The VII and IX do have reflections, but the XXI doesn't for some reason...

I am guessing it has something to do with the fact that I was forced to turn the TGA's back into DAT files.

Unfortunatly I have no clue on how to fix this problem

If I can't figure it out (and I very much doubt that I can) I'm going to go with your suggestion above and just make like the Alberich is so effective that even the sun can't see it.. :rotfl: :rotfl:

I wish there was something I could do to bring it back, but I know next to nothing about how the DAT files are made up and what other files are effected...

I just downloaded this pack to tryout...and when i go underwater my sub looks like default sh3 sub color and brass screws. When I go on top of the water it is black including screws as it should be for this mod......does anyone have this issue? is it supposed to be like that? most other skins whatever i see on top is same for underwater....I just thought this behavior was strange. Maybe I picked up an early version of it I dunno. Please let me know if this is what this particular skin does. I reallly like it though as far as how it looks on surface.

I'm currently using the VIIb maybe this mod only does the VIIC let me know if that is the case.

Hmmm I don't remember that happening...
Unfortunatly I can't check at the moment as I don't currently have Silent Hunter installed...
Might make another boot partition and reinstall it to see if I get the same thing....

Update: - I checked it out and I dunno....
It definetly doesn't look like default skins cause on the later boats that have the rust etc this is just not there...
It "may" have something to do with the water reflections etc, but I am just guessing...
