Turm writing and Turm images

[TheDarkWraith]

It's funny how ideas start. LordNeuro"Serbia" sends me a PM about this eagle ornament that can be attached to the front of the Turm and asks if I can add it to one of my mods. I add it for him and add it to my SHD_test VIIb and then the light bulb goes off - how about being able to add writing and images to the Turm? Yeah! We have Turm emblems via the game but how about being able to dynamically personalize the Turm?
Using Misfit3DModeller and Wings3D I extract a section of the front of the VIIb Turm and import it into a test sub. I make a texture for it saying 'U-505 Heading Home!" and test it.....I think it's pretty cool. The texture is transparent so what ever isn't written on in the texture will allow the Turm to show through. This can be expanded to all areas of the Turm, not just the front section.

Here's the section that I made 'writeable' currently. It is highlighted in red:


using my U-505 heading home texture gave this in-game:


This has some really cool possibilities
