Black hull skin error after attempted mod

DC SH4 TJH · 07-07-12, 09:31 AM

Hello everyone

I decided to make a test mod of the final war appearance skin of the Gato sub. The conning tower has come out the colour I want it but the hull has come out completely black when it is meant to be a similar colour as the conning tower. I can't seem to fix this problem/bug.

I'm using Gimp 2.8 with the Gimp dds plugin, on Windows 7 32 bit.

Thanks

Thomas

Just taking a guess here-because something similar happen to me. Is the texture listed in your GATO config file (like for example mine)

C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Roster\American\Submarine\
SSGato.cfg file

[UnitClass]
ClassName=SSGato
UnitType=200
AppearanceDate=19411101
DisappearanceDate=19721015
DisplayName=US Gato

[Texture 1]
TextureName=data/Submarine/NSS_Gato/NSS_Gato_T01.tga
LightmapTextureName=data/Submarine/NSS_Gato/NSS_Gato_O01.tga
StartDate=19411231
EndDate=19421231
Frequency=1

[Texture 2]

LightmapTextureName=data/Submarine/NSS_Gato/NSS_Gato_O01.tga

EndDate=19601231

Off the top of my head.

I've checked my Gato's config file and it is identical to yours:

[Texture 1]
TextureName=data/Submarine/NSS_Gato/NSS_Gato_T01.tga
LightmapTextureName=data/Submarine/NSS_Gato/NSS_Gato_O01.tga
StartDate=19411231
EndDate=19421231
Frequency=1

[Texture 2]
TextureName=data/Submarine/NSS_Gato/NSS_Gato_T02.tga
LightmapTextureName=data/Submarine/NSS_Gato/NSS_Gato_O01.tga
StartDate=19430101
EndDate=19601231
