[REL] Drifter's Damage Control Screen

[Drifter]

Drifter's Damage Control Screen v1.02 for SH5 v1.1


v1.02 changes:

- Added orange highlights to the various compartments on the Type VII cut-away U-boat artwork, showing which compartment is presently selected

- Added selected compartment names for easier identification. Text is at the top left on each screen

- Corrected artwork misalignment on Torpedo screen



v1.01 changes:

- Added Type VII cut-away U-boat artwork to the torpedo screen

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I decided to create this mod because I wasn't really satisfied with the original Star Trek, high-tech look of the originals. :doh:

This mod changes the damage control screens and the torpedo screen in-game to the older-style SH3 background, showing highlighted compartments on the Type VII cut-away U-boat artwork. Plus, adds compartment names at the top left of each selected compartment screen for easier identification. Also changed are the equipment information boxes on the damage control screens. I moved these closer together to make reading them quicker and easier.

This mod may or may not work with other mods that change menu or GUI settings. Please use at your own risk.

I see a little bit of a misalignment issue on the torpedo screen. I will try to fix it in the next version.

[Decoman]

I don't understand why the devs made the torpedos looking this cartoony. I suppose it can be modded and provided in some kind of 'basic-must have' mod including other stuff.

[Paco]

Very nice, thank you :up:


Cheers,

They made it easy to understand for the casual gamer, knowing full well we'd change it to suit us.

Iam not quite sure if this game is for a casual or new gamer to this serie.
The tutorial was not much of tutorial.
if i was complete new to this game and never been playing sh3 or 4 i would have hard time to get into this game.

For me sh5 is not aimed to new crowd, just the old Bernard fans :)

Hi. I was using TheDarkWraith's first release UI. I have now switched over to his latest release. The controls are on the bottom left now.

Ah I see
Thanx for that :up:
Just enabled that UI myself but yet to see in game as doing something for SH3 :damn:

[etheberge]

Very nice Drifter, thanks!

[Drifter]

Updated to version 1.02 - please see first post.

[UberMatz]

Awesome!!! Thanx!!!

[Oscarkeeper]

This looks awesome. Thanks for the great mod!

[Shigawire]

Brilliant mod! Finally the good old damage display giving me a better overview.

[ironkross]

I've been using this for awhile, at first I just thought "ok looks good;" but the closer you look at this the more you appreciate what a great freakin mod this is. It really does add a lot to the game. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. This mod has already hit about 600 downloads. Due to it's popularity, I suppose I could try to improve on it in a future release. :hmmm:

I know this would be a big ask for anyone to undertake but you were talking about the Startrekky look of the damage control scheme and it just got me thinking that even the Cutaway image of Silent Hunter III is a little bit to futuristic.

Would it be possible to instead replace the 2D cutaway with blueprints instead like these ? http://www.costaricabeach-house.com/uboat7c1.jpg

I think it would add to the atmosphere of the damage control a bit, felling like your actually at damage control desperately studying the plans to find a way to plug an inaccesible leak or re-wire the batteries to give yourself just a couple more minutes of power like Das Boot.

Edit found the blue prints at http://www.seajunk.com/nautical-antiques.htm listed there as being about $35 if anyone is interested in buying.

Also found some blueprints for a type XXI at http://centroeu.com/uboote/typexxi.html

conus00 already did something like that. Take a look at his mod here:

I should have known.

Silent Hunter mods are like Rule 34: If you've thought about it someone has made it:O:. I shall name it 'Rule 35' in honour of Captain Lothar von Arnauld de la Periere of U-35 in the First world War.

Great mod by the way, just in case I haven't mentioned it, see you in port sometime:salute:.

Is the bottom supposed to be so transparent? Is there a way I can change this so I can read the words on it better?

[Black77]

Download link isn't working Drifter, it says the file has been removed or deleted,
can we get it uploaded to subsim.com?

[Akula]

Nice Mod! Does this dynamically change when adding new upgrades to your U-Boat? For example a Wintergarden for example?

[MCM]

I like this mod, but the file is unavailable. Plz reup :yeah:

Drifter's Damage Control Screen v1.02 for SH5 v1.1

This is not criticism, but only proposal.
Look, this navy-blue as uboat's background looks... not interesting and do not fix with rest of menu colors.

SH5 allows to do different images for different section, maybe the best image than whole uboat are uboat plans?
I saw something like uboat schemats with colors at SH4 (main room) but unfortunatelly can't find screenshot...

There is someone who could say to me where it is possible to unload this mod, in mediafire is void and finally someone knows if flood the compartments as in sh3 serious amazing thank you:nope::hmmm::sunny:

[DarthVrooks]

Is there any chance someone could re-upload this mod somewhere? I just blew a whole $8 on the game and this looks useful. In return, the majestic wonderment of the dolphin, truly nature's most graceful creature
