Don't think so

...a new deck only...

Choice of 1 deck only available at present.

Anyone know how to add this repaint to UP3 or DBW?

[crazyeddie]

Thank you very much. This'll do until someone puts an angle deck on the default Essex CV. Glad to see you included the "Mighty O". I served aboard her, 1965-'67.

I was thinking of doing that but the Essex deck is WW2 vintage and an angled flight deck would not fit well with the current shape and size, it would look pretty stupid.  If somebody could rebuild the model with the flight deck extensions on the port side then it could be done, and it would be pretty accurate too, but it would not change the characteristics of the flight paths which are built in to the current model I expect.  So all in all these skin mods are only ever going to be eye candy until the guys building the newer carriers have done their work.

Aa a matter of interest which of the Mighty O decks is correct, V1 or V2, I have seen models of V2 but no actual pictures of that deck paint job, hence the choice.

I Think, V1.

Lovely work on those decks, eddie. Thanks very much!

I fixed that bug by simply rewriting UP3 RC and/or RC2 .ini lines with these from this Mod, and threw this Mod in #UP# as well.
So just as you install a Mod ship, just "not adding new lines", but rewriting the old.

!!!Please read the Read Me of this Mod carefully, how to install, make a back-up before of your #UP#/STD. Keep it safe!!!

Have posted this Bug at UP site (Reply #482), how to fix as well (Reply #507), have no clue they'll fix it in Final. That's why I tried myself the old way.

People,
              for UP3 and DBW you only have to replace the wrong lines in Ships.ini. That's the problem in the RC of UP3, by some reason they have copied the corresponding to the Illustrious.

  The 3D objects are OK in UP3, so just replace the former Colossus lines by the ones in the original MOD (first page of this post) and you will see the angle deck carrier.

  Regards,
                        Pablo

Any ideas how to make the catapults working in DBW? They work fine with all other carriers, but on Colossus it doesn't work.

Getting rdy to download for the first time...

EDIT: Appearently the ship is in UP3 RC4 as a stock carrier, except that it shows up as a different carrier...

USS Valley Forge and USS Boxer have the same issue in UP3-RC4, i've tried to locate the problem, but still without luck

New flight decks for HMS Colossus, simple installation of a new deck only, everything you need to know is in the zip file.

Choice of 1 deck only available at present.  Choose and install.

It wont work for me, there were no files to overwrite in HMS_Colossus/3DO/Ships/Colossus.
I installed a repaint file and ran the game it was exactly the stock paint

If there are no files to overwrite then there must be something wrong with your download or you are trying to put the new files in the wrong place. 

In my .zip file there should be 4 folders for each of the ship versions. In those folders should be a file called Porta1D0o.tga, which is the new deck paint, and another called Porta3D0.tga, which is the new crane and tractor colour (if you want to use it).  Just pop the .tga file into your folder and it should overwrite the original.

Not sure how I can help, your Colossus must be installed in the right place for it to work in the game, and you appear to be installing the new decks in the right place, but I cannot understand why there is nothing to overwrite, if there is no original Porta1D0o.tga then your ship will not show in the game.
