Is it possible to take a photograph with surface ship?

flareo · 11-02-2008, 10:03 PM

i have to take a photo, but im using surface ship, so that means no periscope, so no picture, so i was just wondering if it is at all possible to take one.
Thank You in advance.

hmmm, possibly your watch crew can break out the polaroids on your ship?

as far as i know, no, no pictures, its not worth the 250 renown, so sail in and blow the living crap out of EVERYTHING!

Well the periscopes still work while surfaced so I took it to mean literally a 'surface ship' :hmm:

Periscope on a battleship!?!?

Is a "playable" ship essentially the sub innards surrounded by a ship "skin"?

tomhugill · 11-04-2008, 05:15 PM

Not really , they have fully working guns , aa and in some cases damage model

Actually you take an AI ship, add the subs dive planes, at least one torpedo tube, (they are hidden, they don't need to show) and in the submarine.sim file change ship to sub and then the game thinks it is a sub and you can play it.
There are a lot of file changes to make. Your conning tower view will need to be moved. The bridge crew needs to be moved. You have to "remap IDs" in the files so they won't conflict with the ones in game. Change the name so it won't conflict and change the deckgun to a turret if you want it playable and so on.........
The biggest problem when they first starting doing this was the damage model. It didn't work for the ship, but now some people have figured out how to fix that so it gets better each time they make a new ship.
There are no interiors YET, so they use a subs interior rooms.

@Tamok123: Look in the Mods forum here:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=140742

and there are probably some more that are not listed. There is a suface ship Mod in the works but it is not done yet.

Very interesting. Working guns too? I assume that the guns are actually "multiple" deck guns or do they actually have 12'' guns modded etc?
