much better performance by simplifying models without losing quality.

New lighting system for brass and metal objects so they dont need a lightmap anymore and freeing up ressources.

Main Features:

(as for now, there is no shortcut to the conning tower, you have
to go up there manually)


- custom pictures: (just edit with free getpaint.net)

use my Battleflags mod for the wardroom battleflags

Cpt.Room desk picture: CPT_PICTURE.dds

SHO Re: Fleetboat Interior: Officers Quarters...

Just to be clear, your saying the plate for the Capt.'s quarters, changes to the name you go by when you start a career & are assigned to a Gato class sub...

If that is the case, then....

Sweeeeettttt....

Will see of downloading & adding this to my SH4-UBM FotRS-U-EN mod line up...





Edit: Downloaded...

Sigh.
Now it looks like I might have to finally move on from my customized TMO install. (Learning a new control layout is going to be a pain...)





This is looking great! Thanks for putting in the effort!

Just to clarify, is that the .dds texture or is that meant to be the .dsd texture file.?

Looked for .dds & did not see any, yet noticed .dsd

Again, just wish to make sure am looking at the right file to look at modifying...




Edit: After doing some more digging through the folders, found it... only question now is... what to use to edit the name plate..???

Nice work. Still surprised to see this after all these years.


Are you planning on doing releases for TMO by any chance, or just FOTRSU?
And based on the name, do you plan on doing the S-boat, as well?
