[REL] Kill Flags Mod - Page 51

rebel5555 · 03-12-08, 10:45 PM

I see that there is no Black skins for USS Drum. So, I modified FooFighters Hi-Res Black Gato with USS Drums Patch. Here's a Picture during Night for you (Note:The kill flags have been removed & I included the Photoshop files). I have a reference pic for the SS Number, I might add that and if anyone could point me to a pic where the draft numbers are displayed I might add that as well.

Credits go out to FooFighters for creating an awesome skin and the Kill Flags mod team.

Feel free to use this skin with the Kill Flag mod, Happy Sailing!

On another note I've found a cool Patch for USS Drum.

Thanks, Rebel

Nice work on the early war Drum.

I'll put that one up on the sqk's site so it'll be there as a choice for anyone assigned the Drum. Maybe merge it with the weathered skin so there's a combo (black early, silver late) choice for that skin, too.

As far as putting the SS numbers on the conning tower or the hull, if you put them on the T textures, it will get reversed on one side or the other (the port, I think). The only way I've found to get numbers on the side of the hull or the conning tower is to put them on the O textures (...\Data\Submarine\NSS_Balao\NSS_Balao_O01.dds for the Balao hull, ...\Data\Textures\TNormal\tex\NSS_BalaoTower_O01.d ds & O02.dds for the Balao conning tower). Doing it this way, you can avoid the mirrored effect, but the only colors that will show are non-white (further from white, the better they show), so you can't get anything to show very well on black. I believe that the draft numbers are in the alpha channel of the O01 texture for the hull.

Nice find on the patch, too

Thanks for the really great work Sir. I didn't even notice any drop in Frame Rate....but I sure did notice the improved paint job on my boat. And the flags are a real moral booster. Great mod. But I suppose everyone knows that..

..it's just that, now, I also know....tks.

Happy hunting and enjoy!

Now what fun would that be?

I happened to be in almost the same exact situation in my new game. Luckily I came out a little better (I still have my boat and all my crew). Here's a little screen shot from before my kill flag update. I'll be sending in another patrol update with the one CV I was able to send to the bottom. Thanks a ton for this awesome mod.

Yeah, they do get a bit testy at times

Glad you are enjoying Kill Flags.

This is a forced upgrade, because the motherboard on our current rig is living on borrowed time. So I only ordered the bare essentials (motherboard, CPU, RAM, graphics card, hard disk...the price you pay when a four-year-old PC needs to be replaced). Placed the order on Friday, I'll hear from the guys tomorrow hopefully about the availability of the CPU I ordered (brand new Wolfdale, the E8200!).
A UPS will certainly be our next target, once we can afford it; brownouts over here are a freaking plague. Don't know about that specific model, but APC is a well-known brand.

Hi DrBeast,

Sounds like quite the overhaul in dry dock. Did you add a new power supply (ps) along with the other upgrades? You want to be careful that the old PS can handle all the new goodies. I spent a stretch in Los Angeles and a UPS came most in handy during all those Enron related rolling blackouts.

I got a new PSU before ordering all those parts, because I thought the high-pitched sound came from the old PSU. When I discovered it didn't, my next thought was "crud, this rig needs a total rehaul". It's a fairly cheap 420W PSU, my only concern with it is the 16A output of the +12V rail (for the GPU), but the graphics card I ordered isn't all that power-hungry, so it should make do.
All the parts except the CPU have arrived already, we still don't have an ETA for the CPU (the caveats of newly released hardware), but in the meantime I added another 1 GB stick to the above list, since RAM is dirt cheap. I mean, it's either two pizzas, or 1 more GB. I could live with two less pizzas this month! :rotfl:
Oh, and I also decided than enough is enough with Greek Windoze, so in the new rig I'll install English (definitely less prone to stupid errors than Greek).

Welcome to the crew, Rebel

Thanks for welcome, I'm happy to be aboard!

rebel5555 · 03-17-08, 02:15 AM

I've added a new sub SS-211 USS Gudgeon a GAR Class Submarine. Here's her Insignia

The skin uses Foobor's Black skin for the Early war and the Weathered Skin for the Late War. So, if your a Captain of USS Gudgeon head over to http://battleflags.net/ and download it.

Happy Hunting!

UPDATE: If you have download the USS Gudgeon Skin, Please re-download it as I added the Ship's ID number ontothe bow. Sorry for the inconvience.

Signature link : http://battleflags.net/miniflags/Bat...CaptBC_sig.jpg

Rebel will let you know when he's done and uploaded your sub skin update

Fly 'em proudly and enjoy

rebel5555 · 03-19-08, 04:27 PM

Captain CaptBC,

Sir, your boat is ready. Please follow this link http://battleflags.net/killflags/index.php ,find your forum name in the directory and download your new boat. I hope you have fun and don't forget to post your kill updates so we can get your Battle-Flag and Boat updated.

God Speed,
Rebel5555

Digital_Trucker · 03-20-08, 12:33 PM

OK, so it's not a real sub, but it's been used as a name for a sub in a movie ("Below") and it's even been a GI Joe toy

. Besides that it was requested by Captain Mordon.

Had to do the emblem and patch almost totally from scratch (shark clip-art + stripes + torpedo) but it turned out pretty well. It's available in the Balao section of the submarines at Battleflags.net.

Cap'n Mordon, your flags and updated skin are coming up shortly. 'Till then, enjoy the sneak peek. Click the thumbnails for a full size view.

Many thanks to Foo for all the wonderful skins to work on and Captain Cox for the shark mouth.
