Sub Skin/color Mods

Timetraveller, the other evening, before I saw this tutorial (doh!), I had a go at an RN White Ensign flag. What I did was import the default LFN flag into DXTbmp and then, in MS Paint, cut and pasted it into the flag I wanted (except for the blue, which I painted myself). Then back into DXTbmp, then to Enigma ripper and into the game. It seems to work fine and I think looks good, but: I did absolutely nothing with the alpha channel. Is this a problem? Anyway from now on, I will follow this tute.

You did just right Androo.

In most cases, the alpha channel never needs to be modified. It is saved automatically when resaving the file through dxtBMP.

TT

Yes! That was what I wanted to hear! It took me about 5 hours to do that flag, just because the learning curve (for me) was about vertical. The next one should definitely take less than an hour.

skinning ..did some one say skinning ..were ,what ,who.....?????

Hi there, knowledgable folks!

So... I just downloaded the ripper, and reloaded dtxBMP (hadn't used it since creating some new textures for a truck sim I was playing at the time.

I'm working on a version of a sub that kind of takes enough creative license to allow for the kind of custom art bomber crews did during WWII... And while I'm unpacking stuff, I notice that there is a file for models... in .IGB format.

So... Does anyone know of a way to translate those IGB files into OBJ files or something that could be played with a bit in Maya? Even if one couldn't bring the modified models back into the game, she could aply much higher resolution texture maps and make some really killer fan art XD

Nice skins especially the first one.

Kind of takes me back to those days when i played WoS, great game for wasting time

Thank yew! Eveyrone seems to like the green one better, but I still like the historical feel of the other one, for some reason.

Yeah... A great waste of time made even more effecient by the addition of the ability to change all the gas stations, trucks, cars, etc... My S.O. asked once what I was "playing"... My explanation (including the "object of the game"... drive the truck, pick up the load, drive the truck, drop off the load, etc.) earned me the dead-panned response "...You're kidding, right...?"
