Venatore's Drive Through

[Barbac]

Morning all, Venatore,

First I would like to congratulate you for making such wonderful mods that bring
much realism to this incredible game and allow us to enjoy something very special in playing SH3. This game as it goes actually would not be the same without things that both the GWX Team and you modders have accomplished. For this and once again, thank you so much guys.
I am using a few mods, most of them created by you Venatore and I must say that each time I am leaving the port for a new patrol, I feel like I am in a great adventure. Graphic and details improvments are so important !
By the way, I have recently installed your "Extreme Wet Weather Gear" but unfortunenately, looks like this mod does not work for me probably because of another one that might prevent rain drops to be seen on my WO and his men.
I also use your "U-boat map night filters" and the "Compulsory U-boat Headdress". Guess I cannot use any one of those with the Extreme
Wet Weather Gear mod at the same time ... ?
All the mods I use are enhanced with JSGME and I am running GWX 2.0

Thanks a lot for your reply Ven
Barbac

Barbac,

Hello & welcome to SubSim. I thank you so much for publicly speaking about the use of my mods, I really get excited to know that they make the players enjoyment just that little bit better.

As for the Extreme Wet Weather Gear mod I'm surprised that it doesn't work. This mod is only a TGA colour change so if its not working the only thing that comes to mind is that it has been over-ridden by something else. If you are using a Uniform mod of mine make sure that the Extreme Wet Weather Gear mod gets activated after and not before, I say this because the majority of my Elite Uniforms also come with wet weather gear and if this is activated after then that will be the one you see.

I hope this post will help resolve the problem....if not let me know ok :hmm:

Once again Barbac welcome aboard the best forum on the planet

Thx Ven for your quick reply
I am almost sure you get the point with "make sure that the Extreme Wet Weather Gear mod gets activated after and not before". I have probably enhanced another mod after this one.
By the way, MERCI for the warm welcome. I have been navigating around this forum for quite a long time before register so I do agree with all the Kaleuns here, it is definitely a great and very helpful forum dedicated to a "masterpiece" as you once said and where nice and people do share
I decided to practice as much as possible before leaving the port for my first patrol. Means I have been training all over at the Naval Academy for weeks so that I feel ok with the Manual Targeting, bearings, speed and AoB etc ... not easy at the beginning but as they say in my coutry: "the game is worth the candle"
I did it in a chronological way as I say. I have just started my first patrol a few days ago and I enjoy the game much more everytime.
Regarding to the high quality of your mods and your skills, I was just wondering:
are you working in video games graphics as a professional or is it just a skill you have in modding ?

Anyway, thx Ven

Barbac,

I've have no university degrees in video games graphics and I've never worked for any gaming organisation. I'm married have two awesome daughters, own an Alaskan Malamute wolf, I'm in the Australian Army [Infantry] and I'm just an average guy who loves to enhance games. My other love is paranormal [hauntings] I love to dabble as an investigator, going it alone in a massive building house etc just me and the unknown

I first started skinning aircraft skins in the IL2 game, then moved onto here. All of my mods have been created by trial and error [many errors ]

VIIC Atlantic Workhorse Skin IV
[Non-Historical]

• This mod replaces the skin for type VIIB & VIIC U-Boat variants. Note that this skin is better suited for the type VIIC.

• This U-boat displays a fictional paint scheme.

• I used "Konrad Krum" VIIC Skin as my skin template, (I was unable to contact this forum member to ask permission, he/her has not been to the forum for sometime. I sent a forum PM & ICQ message asking permission, I never received a reply).

• I also incorporated/merged some U-Boat files from "Fubar" skins which I sought permission a while back.

• I have re-textured/re-coloured the entire U-Boat upper/lower body.

• I have merged internal dials to the conning tower dial compartments.

• I have retextured/re-coloured the antenna, radar and snorkel.

• I have re-coloured/re-textured the AA guns and the 88mm deck gun.

• I have re-textured the compartment lids on the deck.

• This file mod is compatible with GWX 2.0

• This mod has the correct file structure pathway & is compatible with JSGME.

• This mod is zipped with WinRAR.

• This U-boat was skinned by Venatore.

Thank you Ven Cool camo for cool VIIC :p
I'm making something similar...

[NealT]

Very kewl...obviously fictional...as this type of camo I do not think would appear until the early 50's by the style...but still a remarkable piece of work...

Hence my friend I wrote in large green writing Non-Historical and l backed it up by typing in point two of the information "This U-boat displays a fictional paint scheme"
