[REL] Gato Interior overhaul and Salmon/sargo gauge fix

Ducimus · 01-12-08, 11:59 PM

Gato Interior Overhaul ver 1.0

Credits:
Anvart ( files used are anvarts post 1.4 patch fix on blacked out dials )
Ducimus ( grumpy with bloodshot eyes)
Oakgroove ( textures files )
Leovampire ( camera mod )
edit:
skwasjer ( for the awesome editor)

Permissions:
Do whatever you want with it so long as your not putting it in a commerical product for monitary gain.

What it does:
This mod retouches the Gato interior. Adjustments are many, which include
- all three gyrocompasses,
- forward battery
- after battery
- total battery
- all engine RPM gauges
- fuel gauges
- trim tanks
- retouching of various misc lights.
- etc etc

- Camera mod retouched to allow free movement in conning tower.

Known issues:
4 small dials to the left of the navagation station are stilll inoperable.
Electrical section in control room, dials lack a background texture. I really wish i could fix that, but don't know how.

Compatiblity:
-All files are derived from files found Trigger Maru ver 1.75, and will run without any problems.
- Camera mod included may produce a "camera out of sectors" error if used in any mod in a mod combination that does not have the ROW camera mod present.
- Do not remove the associated textures. Dat files have been altered so the gato uses its own specific texture files, and not shared with another submarine interior.

Xmas tree while surfaced.

Xmas tree submerged. Brighter lights.

If one battery gets wasted, you should be able to see which one still holds a charge.

Rear of the control room, the navagators table.

Unfortunatly the torpedo status indicators, don't do anything except look pretty. They are not tied to any functionality at all that i could so. So I changed it to function like a xmas tree in the conning tower. This is while on the surface.

And this is while submerged.
----------

These guages work, i have them tied to the battery, but they lack a background texture

It has the 600 ft depth gauge, and you shouldnt need anvarts conning tower gauge fix anymore.

Excellent work a usual Ducimus, looking forward to try this one!

About the torpedo panel in the conning tower, I'm gonna take a closer look to it an see If I can do something to make it more useful.:hmm: ..however it is already pretty looking enough..

I'll keep ypu informed If I discover something Interesting.

AVGWarhawk · 01-13-08, 08:19 AM

Any work being done on the other subs? This is just great!

ReallyDedPoet · 01-13-08, 09:54 AM

Nice to see you branching out to other stuff, well done Duci

I agree with AVG...If the mood hits you, I would certainly welcome any improvements you might make to the other boats.

This is truly stunning work! Thanks!

Glad you're still in a modding mood, skipper! Interesting mod, I'll give it a go when I'm back from the mandatory shore leave

Lagger123987 · 01-13-08, 12:53 PM

Good work! Will there be a Salmon-Sargo reworked interior?

Alex · 01-13-08, 01:10 PM

Nice work, and very pretty indeed.

M. Sarsfield · 01-13-08, 01:13 PM

Nice work.

Just FYI, the panels in the last photo that Duci posted are the Internal Communications (I.C.) Switch Board for 1MC, 7MC, alarms, engine telegraphs, rudder indicator, blah, blah, blah... and the one on the right operates the Gyro Compasses, mainly. Think of them as huge breaker panels, like in your house. If a circuit has a fault, a light will light up beside the corresponding circuit switch.

Ill try the sargo in another week or two. What you see here, prepresents alot of midnight oil by itself. Every gauge you see in the interior, represents at least one cycle of

1.loading the game.
2. trying to find the dial
3. exiting the game.
4. modding the file.
5 goto 1.

Once i found the dial, then i needed to calibrate it, which means more reloading.

Eventually i found the best way to find where dials were, was to switch the controller to a battery type, and then load the game, run the sub at flank speed submerged, and see which needle starts moving after a little TC. Once i got this method down, i just went down the controllers in the sim file, one at a time. Theres around 130 dial objects in the sim file.

Soooo.. im taking a break from that for a week or two. I cant say im looking forward to doing this again. :rotfl:

DrBeast · 01-13-08, 01:48 PM

Duci, while you're here. This has been bugging me for quite a while, but do the metric equivalents of these textures actually work? Oakgroove's textures had a metric counterpart, but in my game the imperial ones still showed up. Any clues? I'm not talking about your mod, but Oakgroove's, which you've been using as well. To Rockin Robbin's chagrin, I'm a metric thoroughbred! :rotfl:
