[REL] Another U-boat skin pack

[Carotio]

I have made a skin pack for SH3, you could get it through my site,
but currently it's unavailable, but will be reworked for use with LSH3.

Well, I had to try it out - do a skin myself. I was inspired by a skin from STEED, though he has used straight lines seperating the colours, then I have used handdrawn round curves. Realistic/historical, I don't know, but I like it sofar, maybe I change it a little. I have used the stock TGAs for my work! I have been working with one for each type: IIa+d, VIIb+c, IXb+c+d2 and XXI.

When it's back up, look here:

No, not yet. WIP!
I make it for VIIb, but it should work for VIIc too, maybe by changing name of TGA depending of installed mods.
I intend to use same sort of colouring and pattern style for IX types too.

Bravo, bravo, C!!!!
As you say, if the VIIB and C have the same files , just changing the names should do the trick. About the IX versions, OMG!!!! I can imagine my u-boat with that skin... it will look very impressive. i hope we can have it available for all IX versions.
Congrats C, very nice.

Probably "Carotios all-round U-boat skin pack". All skins in one package.
When? - I don't know. But probably next week maybe.

I have packed all the TGA's into my DATs, because some early tests with just TGAs came up without my skins. Many of the TGAs are used in more than one DAT file: a Submarine DAT, an Objects DAT and a Library DAT.
But within the different DATs, several of the TGAs are reused, but under a different name, at least with my own installation, so I might pack all these TGAs in the Textures folder. Now it's 94 TGAs sizing to 178,6 mb

C:
Just an opinion:
I think it would be better to pack it in the Textures folder only, not in .DAT file, just to assure that no matter what Super mod each one uses, it will be compatible. But that just my opinion.
