[REL] Kill Flags Mod - Page 108

neilbyrne · 11-01-13, 04:57 PM

I have been trying for a week or so to figure out how to do this myself. I've watched the YouTube video which doesn't work for TMO 2.5.

I've got all the conning tower files copied and saved. Also I've got the kill flags saved both for merchants and warships in bars of one thru four flags. These are all in xcf format from GIMP. Problem now is I can't find any where how to convert the flags from xcf to dds format so I can stick them on the conning tower. Let me rephrase, so I can attempt to stick them on. Not much in this has gone smoothly so far.

Thanks for any help. If I can get it to work, I'll post a step by step in baby talk thereafter.

Get the DDS plug-in for Gimp then save them as dds.

neilbyrne · 11-01-13, 06:45 PM

Privateer, thanks for the come back.

The GIMP DDS plug in on the web is for GIMP 2.5. I've got GIMP 2.8 so you'd think if they put out a plug in for 2.5, it'd be incorporated in 2.8, but whenever I try to save-as, it won't offer me a dds option.

Sorry to be obtuse here

, but should I just get the plug-in for 2.5 & hope it works w/ 2.8?

Here you go.

OK; Privateer, we're getting there. I got the download and can now convert the GIMP images to dds and I've pasted the flags onto the P Class conning tower, NSS.PclassTower T01. Then reloaded the modified sub w/ JSGME. At first, I thought I'd failed again, but then noticed that there were two copies of the kill flag sheet pasted side by side inside the port side of the conning tower. This is progress of a sort, now all I need to do is figure out how to paste one of them on both sides of the outside of the tower.

I think I'm going to give up on this while I still have some hair left

. Over the past few weeks I've tried everything written since DT retired his paint brush. Nothing has worked. The closest I can get is flags fragmented on the inside of the conning tower.

Ahoy Capn's!!!

Some poacher has the BattleFlags.net site held hostage in DryDock.

So I have re-upped the site with ALL the original files on Battleflags.US

Enjoy!

Thanks so much for putting this up !!

Indeed!

Thought you'd like to know, you need to update your flash code, it still points to files under the old .net address.

sqk7744 · 02-28-14, 06:45 PM

Thanks Skipper! This server move (6 years on ) is a real pain

I'm working on an html 5 version.

Cheers!]

Sorry to say that he isn't them anymore. Which is sad, because they are pretty cool.

I was able to get my hands on the DIY kit for battleflags thanks to s7rikeback's collection on mediafire, can someone give me a big red circle and an arrow pointing at where the flags go on my tower.dds? I've tried 3 putting them in 3 places now and can't seem to get it right.

o7 cheers and run silent run deep my friends

EDIT: nvm i was able to find an old skin from rockin robbin and see an example for the balao class, im sure the tambor isn't that far off from this, gonna do some playing around to get it in just the right spot.

Have someone some link for the skins of the diverse subs? I´m searching the USS Silversides (SS-236) skin. I had from the old Kill Flags page it but I lost it between my files....Not found yet....

Many thanks.
