[REL] Kill Flags Mod

[MrSargyano]

Fantastic!

This has to be my favorite mod! A great big thanks to the whole kill flags team! We all apreciate your hard work.

Regards,
Mr. Sargyano

DT,
Finally liberated my rig from the moving truck and had a chance to go in and check out your work on PICUDA. Boat looks beautiful. This is the first one I have run with the MS-32 paint scheme, and I noticed the hull numbers on the bow, which look great.
Here is a question I haven't had the chance to figure out yet. If the conning tower upgrades, does the artwork transfer or does it have to be redone?
Great work. Thanks again, can't say it enough!

@ MrSargyano It be our pleasure, matey

@ Bosn Glad to hear the liberation of your rig went wellAs far as the conning tower updates, the answer is, well, it kinda depends :rotfl:. We built the skins so that a tower change shouldn't cause any problems, but some mods use different conning towers or different textures than the stock game does. If, when you get a new tower, the graphics don't show up, just let us know (along with any mods you run) and we'll get it straightened out.

Thankyou so much Digital_Trucker!

I'd forgotten about this and then I remembered when I saw the thread :rotfl:


Thanks for your time and effort

Our pleasure, GrandAdmiral. This brings up a point, too, about how this mod works. When a new boat is finished or an update is done, I try to send a personal message either with the update in it (for old boats and repeat skippers) or directing you to the update in this thread (new boats and/or new skippers), so keep an eye on your personal messages. You can set your profile up so that new messages are displayed when you log in or to get an email when you get a new PM. It doesn't apply in Grand_Admirals case because he gave me his correct user name, but if I don't get a correct user name, I can't send that PM.

Enjoy!

P.S. Your user name is still not showing up in the list of cap'ns here at subsim. Please use your subsim user name when you send in your update/new boat requests. Thanks.

I think I may have jinxed myself asking about this a few posts ago...
Having an issue with the artwork transferring on ALBACORE (Gato). Everything is fine on the "beginner" tower, but it doesn't seem to transfer over to the next tower in '43.
Ran a test with some single missions, and the artwork is there from Dec '41-summer '43, then disappears until early '44, where it comes back through all of '45.
I am running the latest versions of TMO and RSRDC, and I know Ducimus did some modifcations from stock on when the tower upgrades come available. I imagine that something didn't line up quite right in the works.
It isn't all that big a priority to repair, I can certainly live without the artwork for 6 months of game time. If you happen to find yourself with a bit of downtime to check on this, it would be much appreciated.

Hi Bosn,

This is a case of "been there, done that"!

Digital_Trucker, being the Master of all Towers™, has identified the cause and provided a solution.

Please see his reply to my earlier post concerning this same situation:

Enjoy!

Much appreciated.
Guess I should have done a little more research before posting. Thanks for the link to the solution!

[Digital_Trucker]

Thanks for the cover, Scott, and the new moniker (trademarked and all). Glad you have a good memory, 'cause I'd have had to go look at the files again and "reinvented the wheel".:rotfl:

Hmmm...
Tried that fix, everything saved properly, but still no tower artwork during the fall of '43.
Unfortunately, I am not too in tune with how the textures work. Might it be one of the other Conning_Gato_XX.dat files that needs to be adjusted?

I don't think so, but I'm not positive I have the latest TM, either, I'm downloading it now and I'll "dive into it" (so to speak) and see if I can't determine what the problem is. Will get back to you ASAP.

DT,
Like I mentioned before, no huge rush. Appreciate you looking into it.
