[REL] Kill Flags Mod

[Digital_Trucker]

No problem, Bosn. If the previous fix isn't working, then we need to come up with something new.
I can't see any reason why the earlier fix wouldn't have taken care of the problem. Just to double check to make sure we're on the same page, open up that conning tower file in the game folder (instead of the mod folder) with S3D and make sure that the texture specified is the T02, please.

When I go into the game folder, should I have TMO and the skin enabled or disabled in JSGME?
The previous fix wanted them disabled, and I just wanted to double check before I wander into the unknown

DT,
Scratch that last post. Problem solved. I ran S3ditor with TMO and the skin ENABLED and the problem seems to have gone away. Edit was on the game file and not the mod, as you mentioned.
If I encounter this issue with any of my other hulls, should it be a similar fix? And will it always read T02 at the end?

Thanks for the assist.

Glad you got it sorted, Bosn. I can't definitively answer the last question because I'm not totally aware of all the changes that TM (or any other mod) might make to the towers. I seem to remember, a ways back, that one of the towers was skinned with the texture from a different sub. I don't know if that's still the case or not, but whenever you run into a problem with a conning tower and a killflag skin, you can look up which tower is being used in the appropriate file in the mods Data\UPCData\UPCUnitsData (look at the beginning of each UnitPart chapter). Then, once you've identified the tower being used, you can open up the .dat file for that tower and see which texture it's using. Which tower uses which textures is based on different things for different subs (like the number of different towers used on the sub, etc), but if your emblem doesn't show up and a late war tower points to an early war texture, that's probably going to be the problem. If one sub's tower points to another sub's texture, that will also cause the problem.

Don't know if this MOD is still active

but I have registrated my boat as the USS Seawolf SS-197. I hope I didn't screw up anything! :hmm:

[Digital_Trucker]

Welcome to subsim and killflags, KOSYep, we're still active.

When you say you registered your boat as Seawolf, do you mean you filed a patrol report? We haven't received one from you. If you've sent one, then something must have gone wrong. Go to http://battleflags.net/report/report.php and file your report again, please. In the meantime, you can download the skin for that boat in the submarine section at battleflags.net ( http://battleflags.net/submarines/index.php ).

Thanks,but can you teach me how to make this mod?

like this:

[Digital_Trucker]

Welcome to subsim, zzaj19855 The easiest way to learn how to make this mod is to look at one of the submarine skins that's been done already. Go to battleflags.net and download any of the boats in the submarine section. Then look at the textures in the ....\Data\Textures\TNormal\tex folder (the ones that end in T01 and T02). You will see what the conning tower skin looks like with the emblems on it. If you want to see how the killflags are done, go to battleflags.net in the killflags section and download the files in any one of the skippers folders (especially the zip files ending in _PSD). After extracting the PSD files, open them with Photoshop (or Paint.net) and you will see how the flags are added.

If you really want to make these flags and skins, we can give you the templates that we use for the flags. You'll need a good graphics editing program (We use Photoshop and Fireworks), though.

Hope that helps and feel free to ask any other questions you might have

You don't have to wait to file that first patrol report. You could file a patrol report with no info (other than name and what sub you are using) and we'd make you flags. You can download the sub skin now, so that the emblem will be on your sub while you're on patrol. Sorry if I didn't communicate that very well


@KOS Got your report this time and have you in line for your flags
