[12.6] Wyvern's Historical Skin Workshop

[zFireWyvern]

I only have the stock hull for Bayern, as the other one is made up, but get the Kriegsmarine ensign.

I would think that the stock hull would get the Imperial Navy flag, while the upgraded hull, which supposedly is in the Kriegsmarine era, should get the Kriegsmarine ensign.

Dresden also only has the Kriegsmarine ensign, on both hulls..

How does this work, exactly?

 

I also tried to install the Dunkerque 1940 scheme, which looks great, but then I noticed that all my premium ships now no longer had their premium perma camo..

Can I have both, or do I have to choose one or the other?

It seems that the flags script isn't working properly, I've just been on and checked and the Dresden is flying the Kaiserliche Marine Ensign, are you sure you've installed the mod correctly?

 

As for the skins, all of my premium ship skins come with a modified camouflages file that disables the visual effect of camouflages ingame, they are still there, you just can't see them. It is possible to hide certain camouflages but not others, it'd just take too long for me to cover every combination, it's more effort than it's worth.

Harbour, because this is the UK and not the US of A.

Indeed

Not sure how I messed that up, but copied the script again and now it works, thanks!

Is the xml file included with the custom camouflages the same one each time, or unique for that particular camouflage?

I might be willing to give up on the default camouflages, if I decide to use several different custom ones..

Ok, glad you got that working 

The camouflages xml is the same every time, all I've done is comment out the information inside. You can install any skin and they will work fine, just remember that even if you can't see the camouflage it can still be applied to your ship for the bonuses.

Thanks, I liked several of the custom camouflages, but first time I tried installing, I didn't know what to do with with all the excess .xml files and just selected the Dunkerque in 1940, then noticed all default camouflages were gone as well, so thought something was off..

 

BTW, will there be a version of the Bismarck's camouflage in the Baltic?

The one with the black and white stripes on the side of the hull, including the superstructure?

Or one where she is painted grey overall, as during Rheinübung?

Those are sorely missing from the game..

I'll do some Bismarck skins at some point, yes, I'm just concentrating on RN cruisers for the time being

Cool on both accounts.

 

Keep up the good work!

[Fred3n]

Cool that you are making the British Cruiser line... even though the first six tiers are really bad . But still it is nice to have skins for all the ships in the game, keep up the good work mate

I've actually quite enjoyed the early tiers, particularly the Weymouth, obviously your mileage may vary but I quite like her 

[H41_Bismarck]

Yes, maybe. It is many pictures from old photos, where and when each skins used in british cruisers.....

 

I hope, you work well to skins for them, but I perfer waiting to new skin for my dear battleship. XD

[Comrad_StaIin]

I really want to do a skin for the Fiji, I have always liked the Crown Colony-class. I'll try and have one done asap. I've been collecting some reference material for the other ships of the line, it's just finding time to do the skins in, along with my uni work and Battlefield 1

zFireWtvern is it possible for you to make the necessary changes to files and make a zip file so the takao skins will work for ARP _takao ?? because i tried renaming them and it didnt work os if its for you to make a comlete zip file for the ship !!ty

Possibly though I'd have to extract the new files and upload the renamed ones. It's much easier for me if I tell you what to get and then you rename it really (I need to try and save space in my puush account for new skins!)

So that is the new premium ship that was just announced, not the regular Leander in the tech tree?

you should easily be able to tell them apart because Perth has 2 funnels Leander has 1

Cant really justify logging in to wows at work just to check the funnel caps ;) And im a curious mammal and could not wait untill i am home

[zFireWyvern]

Yeah, it's the Commonwealth Premium, not the RN tech tree ship. I should really add a little something to the preview images to denote what skins are for Premium ships and what are for regular ships

[Henotos]

I just came here to say thanks for the great work
