I'm currently working on changing the art pinups and the two soldier photos inside the subs in SH4. I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting tired of looking at the same thing all the time, especially because making matters worse is that all the subs except the S class use the same three interior files (the S boats have their own file, but no pinup or pics are visible inside).
I'm modifying my randomizer program so you can have a set chosen for a specific sub type before playing. But there's one catch. Which files that are used depends on if you're using high resolution or not. The high res files are twice the dimensions of the low res ones. My program is a converted .bat file, and there's no way to resize the high res images down to the proper size in it without using a third party program. So if anyone is using low res for whatever reason, I'd either have to include both versions in any sets I create, or they would have to do without.
So the first question is, do I need to include low and high res versions, or can I just concentrate on the high res?
The second question is not as important, but I do want to know what ya'll prefer. On the subs, they use one art pinup, viewable in various locations depending on the sub, and the two soldier photos, which are only visible in the control room (on boats using the Porpoise interior, only one photo is used. In the Salmon interior, both are used, but one is partially obstructed).
I intend to use both types from my Captain's Desk Photos mods as well as a possible new set, but the question is, should I keep the original setup of one art image and two photos (which I personally prefer, if it makes any difference), or go with just art and just photos?
I'm going to leave this poll open ended. I'm also going to post this poll on the UBISoft forum and on Subsim.com, so if you're also a member on one or both of those, please only vote once.
Feel free to discuss, suggest, or ask questions if you want.
