Cool effect! You learn something new every day!

I've notested that the GUNS_SUB.dat file has the same size as the one I had before! So maybe it is the same.

So can anyone send me the correct file for the modern type 21 mod?

Thanks in advance,

I've manage to unpack guns_sub.dat and verify that textures of guns are black.

So, don't understand why it is not switching guns texture in game!!!

I'm using RUB 1.45 and harbour traffic 1.47 for RUB.

The gun texture cannot simply be placed into the Texture\TNormal\tex folder. It must be located within the GUNS_SUB.DAT file, so if you unpack it, you must re-pack it into your own GUNS_SUB.DAT file.

[Pirate]

Sorry! don't follow you!
If I did unpack and verified that the black textures are there in the guns_sub.dat, and this file is in the right place in the game folder... shouldn't those black textures appear in game?

[Marhkimov]

They should be appearing then.

Have you tried removing the backup file from the Library folder? Sometimes, that will cause problems by overriding the "true" file.

[Pirate]

Hummm... What's the name of the backup file?

[Marhkimov]

It could be named anything, but be on the lookout for this: "Copy of GUNS_SUB.DAT"

[Pirate]

There is no backup file!

Anyway, I have made a clean install and installed this skin before first run.
It worked

So I then restaured backup data to see what happens and....

For my surprise now i had the type 21 with original skin and black guns!
My conclusion is that this game has some kind of cache system for some elements...

So only solution to this problem is to make it right from the start with a clear install.

Thanks for all the answers.

Actually, SH3 has some sort of hidden cache, but changes should take place if you close the game and start it up again. Were you replacing files with SH3 still running? That could have been it.

Anyways, glad you solved it.

Nope, was replacing files with game closed.
Anyway the only replace that wouldn't take effect was the guns texture.

Subs skin replacement always took effect.

I'd like to put in a request for you to release your other Type XXI skins. Hope you don't mind.

Any idea were we can get these skins now. Since U-Boat's website download files are almost all corrupt since his downtime a week or so ago.
