The emblems look great Akula, great job putting all these together.

EgoApocalypse · 12-06-09, 04:33 PM

Akula I dont mean to be a pain, But how the hell do ya get this to work???

I have photoshop and I can get the two TGA files open............the eblem and the hull. Im no too up to speed with photoshop and where to place the emblem on the Image for the hull is beyond me.

If you can help that would be great...........If not thanks anyways. I wil find a way.

Ego.

Akula4745 · 12-06-09, 06:55 PM

Ego,
Inside the downloaded kit are PSD templates - in the bottom left corner of the template FOR YOUR SUB (the one you are using in your current career) is an example emblem just place yours on a new layer over the top of it - then turn off the example emblem layer and save as DDS. You may need the Nvidia DDS plugin to save.

Then make sure the DDS file is located in the right folder, start up SHIV and you are good to go! Hope this little guide helps... if you have a specific issue or problem let me know.

EgoApocalypse · 12-06-09, 08:18 PM

Cheers.....Wil look into it and let ya know.

Your a gent.

EgoApocalypse · 12-07-09, 04:21 PM

Got it thanks...........Looks sweet.

Akula4745 · 12-07-09, 07:49 PM

Post a screen shot for me, Ego... let's see!

I got started thinking about all the tower emblems I have used in the game since I discovered SHIV...

EgoApocalypse · 12-08-09, 10:54 AM

Here you go Akula...............cant really seem to get it workin perfect without the image doubling up and had to resize the images down to a fifth of the original.

But it thought me a bit about skining..............Like I can make the exausts more burned and a few other little things which is nice to know too. Cheers.

Akula4745 · 12-08-09, 01:44 PM

Looks great Ego! Well done sir!
