The Complete Idiots Guide to Goblin Editor(large image warning)

[ddrgn]

Still greyed out for me...

You can change them?

Scratch that, can change the drop down menus option but cannot save it. Any thoughts?

Can you open the OBS SCOPE gr2 and merge the .sim? I get a memory error than crash of program.

gr2 is in submarine/common/parts

You can load the GR2 and see that the default is for the scope to rise. Problem for me is the Goblin crashes when I merge the .sim.

Would love to set its default to stay and the start of the game

You can keep the Observation Scope lowered with python scripting. DarkWraith did that with his UI mod.

As part of the def InitializeScript(): block in data\Scripts\Menu\Page Default Hud.py, add the line in green as shown (make sure it's indented like the lines above it) below. It would be line 2816 of the default script.

    SetDepthScaleType( DepthScaleTypes.Shallow )
    InitializeMapTools( True )
    Game.SubmarineCommands.ExecuteCommand( "Lower_whole_obs_periscope" )

def UnloadScript():
    Menu["DisplayPlayerGuidanceButtonByName"] = None

Is it possible to keep the Scope from raising every time you go to the Periscope View? I have been spotted because I left periscope view and didnt lower scope and when I returned to periscope view the periscope raised to full height. DOH!

Also, I was searching for a usable GR2 editor. I found Granny Editor but it costs $12,000.00 US. Does a GR2 editor exist that actually lets you do something to the model that doesn't cost a small fortune?

Use the attack scope, that one doesn't auto raise when you go back to it like the obs scope does. Or just quickly slam PageDown when you get to the obs scope screen and hope for the best!

Lets say i want to add a search light to the kiel lighthouse .
I open goblin and open the kiel.sim file found in
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Terrain\Locations\CustomAreas\kiel
then i merge the kiel.gr2 file . Why do i do it this way , because if i open the gr2 file first and merge the sim then goblin will crash .
Ok so i have merged the gr2 file witht he sim file . It says lost controllers , who cares . I know that the lost controllers #12 is the harborcontroll object @ far which is the light house . I know this because i opened the gr2 file first and then merged the sim file and checked . Then i opened the sim first and merged the gr2 file . No idea where the origin point is on the light house . I notice in shcontrollers there is searchlighteffect controller . I add this to lost controller 12 and save . I then open the correct way to check and merge the sim file after opening the gr2 file . It has
harborobjectcontroll@far
searchlighteffect@far

The lighthouse at kiel still doesnt have a light

If you look at my FX_Update mod you'll see how I gave the lighthouse a rotating light (though not the type of rotating light you are trying to do). The searchlighteffect controller isn't going to work as you expected either. It would more than likely remain stationary. You'd have to get creative to make it turn.

ungh, controllers have always driven me batship.

When I try opening a sub GR2 file I get the following error message:
"You do not have the actor DLLs for the following controller types: Sapiens. Please get the appropriate actor DLLs."

When I try merging the submarine sim file I get this longer list of missing actor DLL files: "Gun Station Controller Properties, Ship Damage State, Interior Effects Manager, Special Abilities Ctrl, Water Reflection, cmdr_AI Human Sub, Obj_Turret, Unit_submarine, & wpn_SubTorpedo Sys."

Has anyone any idea why these are missing and how I can get hold of the files?

Post #1 of this thread tells you what you need to do

[THE_MASK]

How did Reboot get the drips from the bunker to inside the sub ? Did he use goblin ? I want to pack the sub with provisions/ boxes etc .

[THE_MASK]

What does this mean ?

[Bilge_Rat]

I hope someone can help me with this. I followed the instructions and loaded the torpedo sim file to check out the parameters, but I get an error message and every file has the notation "lost controllers" and I cant seem to open any file.

[elanaiba]

did you load the torpedo gr2 file before the sim file?
