One thing guys: I practically finished the sound mod for WotK, but I'm not able to properly test it (I'm on a windows 11 pc and the compatibility mode doesn't work ) and I don't know know how to make appear some new sounds (it should be used SEDeditor, but I have no clue how to use it), so if someone would like to help me, it would be very nice

Last thing. Based on what I read on facebook IABL: is true than we could have an alpha version of WotK by the end of the month?

Unfortunately no - I ran into massive problems with the interior texturing/materials. However, things are getting back on track and I have a plan to solve the issues.

Thank you for the sound assistance, and ErdiFerenc thanks for that photograph, it is quite helpful.

A new update will be posted no later than Sunday evening.

Do you use Wings3d? If so ... I badly need this plugin to work so I can create pipes for the interior of the U-Boat; however it is not working for me.

If, in fact, you can get it to work on your Wings3d install and tell me how, it would be very helpful.

Alternatively, if you know of a method to extrude realistic-looking pipes in Wings3d I would love to know!

Thanks.

it should work in 2.3, installed it with no problems.
did you see the tutorial on the wings forum?

Have you actually tried to create "curves" or other shapes with it?

I should have clarified - I can install it fine, but it doesn't work when I actually try to select the function in wings3d.

Anyway, thank you for your help, I will try it again.

[vickers03]

yes it works just like in the tutorial. i select tools/curve, another window
opens where i can right click and select the curve i want to draw.
i have not figured out every detail but i was able to draw a curve
and make a pipe object out of it

Latest progress as promised; the most important thing is probably the engine room, with animated rocking arms, vibration, and working engine room telegraphs.

engine room is looking great how did you do the animations? any fps drop?

Yes unfortunately, FPS drop to about 30FPS. No stuttering but I would rather have a higher value.

Also there is only one speed right now for the rocking arms (again - unfortunately!) I admit I am not familiar with how to use state machine controllers or how to tie the rocking arm speed to the sub's speed. The engine telegraphs, however, work fine.

I would be happy to send the engine files to you or Jeff Groves - or another experienced modder, you will be credited in the final product.

i managed to get smooth fps with my s-class engine using particle (object)
effects for the moving parts. it's also possible to control the animation speed
this way. i could take a look and try to adapt my library to your engine

Thanks I have it ready for you to look at! Just pm me your email or preferred sharing method.

It will be the interior for the American S-class, so just start any mission with S-18 class or S-44 class and enter interior free cam to look at it.
