Hi guys,
I start this new post to give content details and download links for my my FDS texture MOD for SH4
The FDS Mod will bring a major update to the textures of surface ships of the SH4 Stock installation.
All the basic SH4 fleet are concerned by this project. The plan is to update the texture of each ship by making something more accurate in term of fitting, color and camo scheme, using historical references for color and fitting and trying to reproduce (when it’s possible regarding the mapping system of each ship) the camo scheme or making something in the spirit of the historical scheme.
The mod will be released in several pack. DD / CA / CL /CV and BB types
- The project is to make something global, to make a big change in term of render of the surface ships during mission and campaign. So I work with always the same elements and the same range of colors. All the colors are elaborated following plastic model color chart to have something the most accurate possible.
- There is no change on the structure of the files, it's just a repaint of the source file, so it will be compatible with all the mods that are using stock SH4 installation as a base.
- Ready for JSGME installation
- Some Roster files has been updated with right ship name for the class and right range of date for start and end of each unit.
- The Roster file need to be set up with date of start and end of each skin if you want to have a particular camo scheme in a built mission
- First packs of skins will be for the IJN and the USN, RN and others fleet will follow.
