README BELOW

CHANGES FROM v1.2
-----------------

-Changed the design of the Rec Manual to one based on Chrall's original Dark Reconnaissance Manual mod (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=109455).
-Made the red filter better and darker to match new Red Lighting for OM mod.

CHANGES FROM v1.1
-----------------

Added support for new ships included in OMv720 Patch 5 (F01B_, F02B_, F03B_ and F04B_)
Added Red Filter to RecManual to preserve night vision
Added historically accurate South African flag to RecManual and to South African ships.
Modified Readme location to be JSGME compliant
Added JSGME Tooltip.

CHANGES FROM v1.0
-----------------

Added support for new ships included in OMv720

DESCRIPTION
-----------

This mod add or modifies 134 ship silhouettes, adds some cosmetic changes to the reconnaissance manual cover, changes the Canadian/German/Merchant/South African flags on the reconnaissance manual and adds a Red Filter to the RecManual to preserve night vision.

KNOWN ISSUES
------------

The warship silhouettes I included in this mod DO NOT show any weapons (turrets, AA guns, etc). This is because of the method I used to get the screenshots of the models. I originally wanted to redo all the warships of all nations but because of this issue I decided against it. Consequently, I only included the silhouettes for those warships that I felt where necessary, i.e those with old SH3 style silhouettes or those that were missing silhouettes altogether.

I personally don't care since I rarely manually ID ships but I assume lots of people rely on the turrets/guns to ID contacts.
If you'd rather keep the old style silhouettes, simply delete my new DDS files for the warship types you want to restore. I included a list of the ones I changed at the bottom of this file. Otherwise you can do like I do and just "pretend" that those ships were still under construction when the pictures where taken :-)

I may end up re-doing all the warships anyway as an option for people like me who care more about looks than substance :-)

There are no issues with the merchants.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------

Install with JSGME.

If you have the previous version of this mod, you may remove the old version first, or simply overwrite it with the latest version. It doesn't matter as long as it's installed after OMv720.

Tested only with SH4 1.5 and Operation Monsun with OMEGU but would probably work with other mods.

SUPPORT
-------

If you find any errors with those silhouettes other than the one described above, mention it the subsim thread and I may do an update.

TERMS OF USE
------------

You are free to do whatever you want with this mod. Modify it, re-release it, include it in other mods, whatever. Just mention my name somewhere in the credits if you do. No need to contact me beforehand.

Having downloaded your excellent mod i was looking through it and noticed that you've got the post 1994 south african flag displayed,it should be the orange,white and blue flag with the three small flags in the centre.

etheberge · 10-30-09, 01:31 PM

Markdenny,

The only flags I changed were the Canadian, German and blank merchant flag. but I didn't know about the South African flag being incorrect.

I'm not sure where it comes from, I think it might be default. I'll change it in the next update.

Thanks for letting me know and for using the mod.
