[REL]OpenHatch_V3_RH released

[DivingDuck]

Moin,
Thanks DD,

When I downloaded your update for the scope it was just a dat file and not in the JSGME format. So I just dropped it into the apprropiate folder. Is that correct/data/internal/type7 sub... Thanks for the advice. I´ll upload a corrected JSGME version asap.

It´s in JSGME format now. Just uploaded it.

Regards,
DD

[Flybywire]

Thanks again, I have installed all and am going to see if I still get the CTD.

Kindly,

Flyby

TypeVII_OH_Peri_Correct or TypeVII_OH_Peri_Stock I haven't followed this topic for a while...is this what I need to download and install?
I'm asking because of the 21 pages to read, lol. :oops:

I'm running GWX+Dec.23rd corrections...so NOT the latest GWX.

[Paajtor]

Great, DD....much appreaciated.

[Matyas]

Great work, DD! :up: Many thanks!

BTW I have also noticed the hazy patches in the RR when looking at the CR, but I suppose it's only due to the changing of casted shadows as the boat rolls.

[Paajtor]

DivingDuck, TypeVII_OpenHatch_V1.01 in your sig leads to DD_MBoat_V09.rar...thought you had to know.

[Ducimus]

Hi flybywire,

I´ve posted in Ducimus´ thread asking him to provide the rusty looking texture files for download to copy them to the tex folder. Let´s see what he thinks about it.


I havent been by the mod forum lately. You just want the texure files? I suppose i could extract them all out of your CR dat and toss them up for D/L somewhere if you want. Unless theres a reason not to, id recommend repacking them into the dat though. Ive done that, and havent had any problems at all.

[raymond6751]

I vote DivingDuck as the Forum Man of the Year for his work on
the Open Hatch mod.

All those in favor, Hip Hip!


SH3 will NOT be removed from my system when SH4 comes along because of mods
like this.

Now...we need to close hatches when under DC attack, right?

[Paajtor]

:damn: omg lol:hmm:

Wait, I have the solution!

Return to port.
Save game, exit SH3.
Rollback SH3Commander
disable OH through JSGME
load SH3
return to where you were being attacked
Bingo...hatches closed!:rotfl:

[Ducimus]

Now...we need to close hatches when under DC attack, right?

I don't think they did that except maybe if they were expecting a collision. Closing the hatch's impedes communcation in the boat, and communication between compartments is crucial.

[Kumando]

This should be voted mod of the year.

[canadian_wolf]

truly beautiful but i have one question. since the IXD and VIIC use the same radioroom. is there anyway to add the room to the IX class or no? could be a second mod? if not then i shall settle for the VIIC :up::up:

Vielen Dank! Alles geht wie auf Räder.

Even installed in mid-patrol, and no issues...great job.

[Letum]

Since I installed this mod (and hi-res patch) I have lost the hi-res dial on the hydrophone. Is there a fix? Have I done something wrong?
Thankyou.

[Reece]

The hi rez dials including the Hydraphone are supplied with the mod but you have to patch the earlier versions and then install the one you prefer (2 mods & 2 patches). If there is still a problem you will have to check (if using JSGME) where the files actually ended up! Hope this helps.:yep:

[Ducimus]

i have one question. since the IXD and VIIC use the same radioroom. is there anyway to add the room to the IX class or no? could be a second mod? if not then i shall settle for the VIIC :up::up:

Im pretty sure the answer is no. By outward apperances the new VIIC CR functions similar to the type II control room. In essence the CR and RR have been combined into one single module. I suggest just using the VII control room with the type 9 uboats. Not hard to do, just edit the subs config file to use the type 7 interior and there you go.

[alexoscar]

This is more than a mod. Its incredible. The best stand alone mod for me in the SH3 history. None of us believed this kind of work could be made several months ago.

Like other mate said above, this game will stay on my HDD because this and other wonderful mods.

Thank you. I love it.

[canadian_wolf]

mmm well i dont think i want that but because this is so kick ass XD i shall wait until 41to swtich to an IX class, the VIIC was always the look of the UBOAT war for me anyway.

[Filax]

@Urfisch / DD

I really like this mod.
May we expect a IX-Open Hatch mod? PLEASE!

Filax

[Alex]

@ DD : Filax just had a great idea.... But I'm pretty sure we'll never know the amount of work you put into creating this awesome mod. :huh:
I just have a question for you : you've created the VII open hatch.... But in order to create this mod for the other subs (in case you're thinking about making this mod available for other subs versions in the future), does your work on the VII open hatch can't be took as a base, to reduce the amount of work, or is it a complete new job ? :huh:

That's a weird question, I know.... But I don't know the process of creating this mod. :-?

[Captain Strangelove]

Hi there.

I have another question.
Is it technically possible to add the conning tower interior to the model as well? And open the the hatch there as well? Or is there an internal modelling difference between the forward hatch and the tower hatch?

Cheers

Kai

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

Is it technically possible to add the conning tower interior to the model as well? And open the the hatch there as well? Or is there an internal modelling difference between the forward hatch and the tower hatch?
@Captain Strangelove: (really like this name. :p)
Technically it should be no problem. Maybe there is a limitation in *.dat file size. I don´t know. Anyway the *.dat would reach a size of about 60MB. That, for sure, would make many GPU´s burn. So I´m not sure there´s enough guys out there willing to download and install an addition like this. Kick me if I´m wrong.

Downloading while writing. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH. And sorry for being impatient starting a poll to pursuade you to do it. As I´m not that happy with SHIV this mod is one more reason to stay with SHIII. Awesome work.

[Rubini]

Moin,


...Your feedback is welcome.

Regards,
DD

So here a feedback!
First of all many thanks again DD!

I'm using the Type VIIC with stock peri location...
Two small problems (I said small lol):
1. The lights are really too shine on all the uboat. At least on GWX interiors (I guess that also on stock) they are "better", a bit less shine.
2. Ok about the periscope...but the player default camera position and that Officer aren't on stock position. They are in truth in the same "pericope fix mod" position.


That is it!
Thanks again mate!:up:

[P_Funk]

Wow. What luck! I just started a new IXC career 3 hours ago.

But maybe you should edit the first post in the thread to reflect ALL of the files and updates and installation instructions and what not. I just skimmed through 27 pages of posts to get here.:o I think those ignorant to this mod would appreciate 1st page release notes.

[Maraz]

Great job! :up: :up: :up:

Now let's go to other hatches !!! :D :D :D :D

Maraz

[supposedtobeworking]

That is awesome divingduck thanks for your work. Is there any chance of getting the hatch in the aft section of the control room open so we can see that mess room yet?

[Sailor Steve]

It keeps getting better!

When will you do the type II? No, wait...:rotfl:

[Jimbuna]

AWESOME!! :rock: :up: :arrgh!:

[JCWolf]

Yesss----

Ve

ry cool..awesome add...:rock:

[Whirlwind]

Wow DD, this mod is simply incredible. It brings so much more life on board an u-boot. If you and urfisch manage to expand this mod to every compartment in the u-boot, you truly deserve to be called gods in the modding community. :rock:


Thank you for your work and effort you put in this mod.:up:

[EmeAzul]

DD, thank you for this terrific contribution to SH3. This is truly a great enhancement to the game. I've really enjoyed all of your work in the past, but this particular effort really stands out!

I'm thinking of combining both TypeVII and TypeIX Openhatch mods into one single modification on my system. I was wondering if you think this would or could create a problem. There are 10 .tga files that are common across both mods: 7cic_Brk_Glass, 7cic_druck, 7cic_tbd_1, 7cic_tif, Blueprint, Brk_Glass, druck_7, Haloi, Placute, and Torpedo.

In a few cases, the size of the files are different from one Mod to the other. I guess I would have to decide which version to use (the larger one, perhaps?). But since they will all end up going into the same place once implemented (Textures/TNormal/Tex), I wondered if combining them from the outset might not be more efficient. Thx EmeAzul

[CaptainNemo12]

Is it me or is that IX hatch WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY to high to crawl in? It's almost like you have to jump through it in order to get to the other side!!:lol:

P.S: I'm not criticizing your work DD, it's awesome!:up:

[Paajtor]

No, it's meant to be that high...it means, that your legs are stretched, when you put one through. And that's nice, when travelling inside a rolling Uboat.;)

[Tigrone]

Moin,
TypeIX_OpenHatch_V1.0 is now available for download. Your feedback is welcome. Regards, DD

Oh my God: Atlantic, no Pacific, but the IX looks so cool now, but I just got a new Gato and need to catch some rays (and the Atlantic is so cold), but this is just too cool! :rock:

[Zinmar]

I do have a slight problem that maybe ya'll can help me fix. I like all others had the ob scope in the wrong place when I installed this wonderful mod via JS. I have tried both the correct and other add-on and neither have moved the scope to the proper area. I have been opening the VII folder in JS than copying the corrected file over the old one, am I doing something wrong here?

You´re right. There are some files that come with both mods. I´ts hard to keep the complete picture. It will cause no problem. If you use the larger one, your texture´s quality will be increased ingame. It´s on my ToDo-list for upcoming updates now. Thanks for the advice.

2. Ok about the periscope...but the player default camera position and that Officer aren't on stock position. They are in truth in the same "pericope fix mod" position. I didn´t change anything about the lights. But I´ll see if I can dim them.
I´ll have to dig a little for the camera and officer´s position. They obviousely have been altered by NYGM. As I didn´t play a single mission since I started modding in summer last year, I didn´t realize there is a difference between these matters in stock and NYGM.

TypeVII and TypeIX Open Hatch Mods

To prevent all who are interested from browsing all the postings to find what´s new, where to download and how to install here is an overview.

These mods attach fully functional radio rooms to the command rooms of TypeVII and TypeIX boats. They are fully JSGME compatible.

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/905/hatchopenlight001gj6.jpg

History:

TypeVII_OpenHatch_Beta

NYGM NSS_Uboat7_CR.dat was used as basis for this mod
HiRes gauges missing with GWX
extracted GWX textures files (Bordinstrumente Mod by OakGroove)

TypeVII_OpenHatch_V1.01

TypeVII_OpenHatch_HiRes is included, may be enabled separately
obs periscope was moved to technically correct position by NYGM, floor housing remained in "old" position

TypeVII_OpenHatch_Peri_Stock

as the obs periscope in correct position was disturbing the view at the open hatch many asked me to re-relocate it to stock position
just an update, no stand alone, enable on top of V1.01

TypeVII_OpenHatch_Peri_Correct

moved the periscope and it´s floor housing to the correct position
just an update, no stand alone, enable on top of V1.01

does this mod "opens" main conning tower hatch?
while on watch i'd love to see subs interior under.

[P_Funk]

does this mod "opens" main conning tower hatch?

No. This is a reality based mod. In real u-boats the inner bulkhead doors were open during the voyage. See Das Boot for an example as crew members run from one end of the ship to another through the already open hatches.

Also in reality the hatch on the conning tower was generally closed depending on the situation; definitely during a storm.

[Kpt Lothar]

[quote=Kpt Lothar]

besides that, it would not be a problem for modders?

[P_Funk]

[quote=Kpt Lothar]

Actually it might. The doors on the bulkheads are stationary. You can't open or close the doors. This isn't an issue since they never close them anyway.

However the conning tower hatch needs to be closed and opened. I don't think that you can have that hatch open when you're underwater and if you could it wouldn't look very good. The bulkheads being edited by this mod are inside the boat. The conning hatch is attached to the exterior hull. There might be issues there.

[Kpt Lothar]

nevermind. still great mod! gonna try it though.
as always im supposed to rollback sh3cmdr before applying that mod (with JSGME)?

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

@Kpt Lothar:
I´m didn´t mean to open the hatch to CT so far. It would probably bust the CR.dat in size. My GPU is already burning when rendering the combined CR+RR. ;) Technically spoken it would be the same as combining CR and RR, it´s possible. But there´s no way to open/close the hatch depending on the situation, at least not for me.


I´ve checked the periscope´s position for typeIX and typeII.
TypeIX is as it should be.
TypeII needs some rework. Does anyone have a screenie showing stock position? There´s a shadow on the floor where the obs periscope housing should be. But after disabling any mods the periscope and its housing stayed where they have been before, in the wrong place. I´ve moved them (scope+housing) to the position where the shadow is, shortly in front of the CT hatch. According to my sources this is the technically correct position:http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/4324/t2peri003dh1.jpg http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/8743/t2peri004pd6.jpg
http://img506.imageshack.us/img506/672/t2peri001yr4.jpg http://img482.imageshack.us/img482/7605/t2peri002lz1.jpg


I´d like to lower the obs periscope. What do you think, UP or DOWN???

Regards,
DD

[Kumando]

Maybe down would be more realistic:up:

[Alex]

I agree. :yep:

[Capt.Crackerjack]

Down please.

[tiger_tim_34]

I.Love.This.Mod.

I had a thrilling escape from the East Coast of England last night, watching the sub getting rocked by depth charges from inside the control room, as the crew held grimly to their posts... something about that extend view through to the other compartment just transported me so much further into the scene.

Is it realistic to expect the other hatch being opened sometime? I wish we were allowed to give you some donation for your time to make it more worthwhile. Can we? Would this help?

For now, please accept the profound thanks of another reinvigorated SH3 fan.

[GT182]

Urfisch and DivingDuck, you both get my vote for the "Kaptains of the Month" club. Fantastic work guys. ~S!~ :up:

Haven't seen the finished product till now.... computer crash last week and just getting going again.

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

@tt34:

No comment about other hatches at this time.
BTW, I wouldn´t accept any donations. I´m just glad that the mod calls this much of attention and so many like it.



now that I have lowered the typeII obs periscope I´m not sure about how low it should be.

obs periscope handles have been rotated (pic#1)

Very cool stuff as usual...:up:

[Alex]

:huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:
I love the 3 positions. I vote for a release of a open hatch pack for all subs, that could let us choose the position of the obs periscope. Amazing job one more time, DD.................................... http://www.crypticmadness.com/Forum/images/Smiles/droolinganim.gif

[Captain Strangelove]

I'd say that #1 looks best, although #2 is probably most realistic.

[Trefoil]

My vote is either #2 or #3 - As stated, a lowered periscope is more realistic.

I' ll take the opportunity to say many thanks for all the hard (unpaid) work.

[Jimbuna]

Lowered .... for realism :D

[Cheapskate]

Like Alex I would love to have the choice of all three.

However, if this is not a realistic option, I would go with either 2 ( more realistic) or 3 ( prettier).

Have a slight preference for 3 but will be happy to accept whatever you decide to do.

Great stuff DD ( as is everything you produce for us!! ) :yep: :rock:

[supposedtobeworking]

#2 looks the most convincing IMO.

[Alex]

Nobody likes the first one ? :o
Even if it does not look realistic, I just want to say that #1 is PURE EYE CANDY. AND I DEFINITELY LOVE IT ! :p :up: :D

[Capt.Crackerjack]

Position #2 please.

[tommyk]

> Which position do you prefer?

In fact I like all the views! All look fine. I like #1 very much but vote for #2 because its more realistic...

[Captain Strangelove]

Slightly OT: this is what using the periscope looked like in a type II. At least I think that this is a type II. Looks very similar to me, small diameter and all that. But I'm open for corrections!
Caption on backside says 'Fifth anniversary of the U-Boat arm 1940'. In German, of course. Although the photo was probably taken before, when having to guess from the jacket.

Sorry for the bad quality, had to take a photo of it as I don't have a scanner.

Cheers

[Alex]

At least I think that this is a type II. Looks very similar to me, small diameter and all that.

I wonder if it's possible to reduce the diameter of the command room just for the type II. :p
Hmm.... No, DD's going to have too much work. :rotfl:

[Shepelly]

Mate, I'll go for No1. Although 2is more realistic and 3 looks great, I like the idea of being able to approach it like the Attack periscope, since we can't lower or raise it.:up:

[Steel_Tomb]

Is it possible to animate it to go up and down like in SHIV?

[Cheapskate]

since we can't lower or raise it.:up:

:o :o :o reckon you've you've been sabotaged matey! Both the scopes go up and down OK !!!!

[GT182]

DD, all three look great. :up:

:hmm: My preference would be between 1 and 3. With 1 on top of the list. As Alex said...."Pure eyecandy". :yep:

[Shepelly]

since we can't lower or raise it.:up:
:o :o :o reckon you've you've been sabotaged matey! Both the scopes go up and down OK !!!!

I know that once in that view the scopes go up and down, however to be in the command room and order the Weapons officer to raise Obs scope it does'nt actually move visually:down:.............................or does it:hmm:

[Cheapskate]

Oh, I see what you mean :oops:

No. it doesn't actually move in control room view but then none of the others do either.......except in SH4 it seems :cry:

[Shepelly]

Oh, I see what you mean :oops:

No. it doesn't actually move in control room view but then none of the others do either.......except in SH4 it seems :cry:

Would be good to see, but Pic 1 would do to substitute as I stated before, for the approach factor.:up:

[Paajtor]

I would vote for #1 too....it just looks much more immersive. Certainly, if it's clickable (ie, click it and you're on it).

[alexoscar]

Pic 2 here. And mate, let me say you THANK YOU for all this work. Your ability is awesome.

Regards.

[tiger_tim_34]

No.1, clickable if possible. :sunny:

Alternatively, a choice of all 3 please. :up:

[Txema]

I would go for #2, since it seems the most realistic one.

And thank you very much for all this excellent work !!!

I just downloaded the open Hatch mod. It says to copy it to the SHIII Mod File. Cannot find such a file. Whassup?

[flakmonkey]

the shiii mod file probably means the MODS folder created by JGME, just a guess.

Yes, unzip that file there:yep:

I´ve included two versions
periscope down ca 90% (NSS_Uboat2_CR_001.dat)
periscope down ca 100% (NSS_Uboat2_CR_002.dat)You have to choose which one to use. That´s why you have to copy and rename the corresponding file BEFORE enabling with JSGME.


go to SHIII\MODS\TypeII_Peri_Correct\data\Interior\NSS_U boat2\save_dat\...
copy *.dat file of your choice to the folder above
rename file to NSS_Uboat2_CR.dat
enable with JSGME


I´m still testing whether it is possible to make the periscope move up and down by key command.

ATTENTION: TypeIX_OpenHatch_V1.01 update

it has been brought to my attention that the 0KB file (NSS_Uboat9_RR.dat), I´m talking about in the installation instructions, is missing. Damn, how come???

I´ve uploaded TypeIX_OpenHatch_V1.01 to my FileFront Site (http://hosted.filefront.com/DivingDuck). (ca 45.80MB)


All of you who have downloaded V1.0 already don´t need to download the new version.
Just create a 0KB file and
name it NSS_Uboat9_RR.dat.
Copy this file to SH3\data\interior\NSS_Uboat9\...

This should fix any problem with part time closed hatch when in the radio room.


OpenHatch Overview:

TypeVII_OpenHatch_V1.01

TypeVII_OpenHatch_Peri_Stock
TypeVII_OpenHatch_Peri_Correct

TypeIX_OpenHatch_V1.01
TypeII_Peri_Correct_V1.0

Hey DD, What happend to the other room?

[Captain Strangelove]

I don't want to believe that this thread has ended up on page 2 of the mods workshop! :dead:?

DivingDuck, are there any news? Is it still reasonable to hope that some miracle will happen and we will have a third room? Or is it just not possible without an SDK?

Thanks!

Kai

[DivingDuck]

Hi CSL,

there´s room for hope. This mod isn´t dead yet. As I have several queries about the captains position on conning tower I´m a little sidetracked at the moment. Didn´t use the MiniTweaker till now. But I´m thinking about writing a tweakfile for this issue. (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=487558#post487558) If I succeed, these files will be provided together with OH. But before I start another approach at the next compartment I have to dig deep to get the obs periscope moving up and down by key command.


Regards,
DD


PS: From time to time I have to fresh up my mind modding one or another little thing that doesn´t directly belong to u-boat interior.

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

as announced above I´ve written some tweak files to change the captain´s viewpoint position. You may download them here (http://files.filefront.com/DD_CapPos_View_TweakFilesrar/;7227671;/fileinfo.html).

The following towers are included:
Turm2A_1_hd
Turm2D_1_hd
Turm2D_2_hd
Turm7b_1_hd
Turm7b_2_hd
Turm7b_3_hd
Turm7b_4_hd
Turm9c_1_hd
Turm9c_2_hd
Turm9c_3_hd
Download, extract and copy to ...MiniTweaker\Tweakfiles. Launch MiniTweaker an load the file needed. UseInitialLocalPos must be set to "1" to make SHIII use your values.

Just dlaoded the IX Open Hatch 1.01. Does this version make all the interior lights brighter than in 1.0? I noticed that the hair on my Navigator was shining like he'd been using too much Pomade.

LOL, no it doesn´t. V1.0 was lacking of the 0KB file (NSS_Uboat9_RR.dat) that is necessary for JSGME to install properly. Allthough V1.0 was working, some guys encountered visual problems when in the radio room, as the old one interferred with the new command room.
About the lights; I was told they are to shiny. Didn´t take a look at them, till now. But it´s on my ToDo-list.

Regards,
DD

[P_Funk]

Thanks DD. I dunno, I seem to have just noticed them. Though I've been tweaking lately so I might have inadvertantly done something.:roll:

[WhiteW0lf]

HOLY S#$&, I just started playing SH3 again as well as ordered SH4 and came in here to see if anything has changed in the modding world, we talked about having that hatch open more then two years ago but no one could do it, this is amazing work. :up:

I may have to leave work early today just to install this.

[Jimbuna]

Careful matey...I hear your boss is an avid fan of SH3 too :lol:

[Archive1]

A superb job of redesign. I have noticed one problem (using GWX) - the base of the scope on the deck seems to be in the original, aft position and is not under the scope which is now moved forward. I installed DD_TypeVII_OpenHatch_V1.01 and then DD_TypeVII_OH_Peri _Correct (along with the hi res files). I am probably at fault, but don't know how? Any suggestions?
Certainly await any future interior mods of this excellent character.

[DivingDuck]

Hi Archive1,

if you´ve enabled TypeVII_OH_Peri_Correct on top of TypeVII_OH_V1.01 the obs periscope housing should be in correct position underneath the obs periscope.

Regards,
DD

[Umfuld]

Any chance of finding this for download somewhere other than FileFront? I've tried many times but just can't download from there.

I'm using a IX

[bert8for3]

Ditto. I got the Type VII main file from FileFront this morning, as well as the stock Periscope file, but can't get the Periscope/Correct file. I searched for the file, but it doesn't show.

If somebody could put these up somewhere else, that would be great.

Tks.

[Archive1]

DD:
I appreciate the prompt answer. As I review my MODS listing, I do have the "TypeVII_OH_Peri_Correct" mod sitting "higher" or above the the "TypeVII_OH_V1.01" mod. I think what I will do is a JGSME.. JSGME...(can never remember those letters correctly...you know what I mean) uninstall, then reinstall each mod separately in separate stages in the proper order you advise.
Thanks.
Again, DD, a great job of creativity.

[fastfed]

Oh, wow, that would be a BIG immersion boost in the bridge!

(Actually, as an aside - looking at the Type VII bridge after installing the 'periscope correct' mod...well, now the 'front' of the control room certainly seems more crowded. Much more like I'd expect of a U-Boat, actually. What to do with all that room in the BACK of the room, now?? Any way to add a few extra crewmen back there or something?)

Been away from home for a while now and i have a big chunk of months ahead of me, so i|ll have to wait for this mega cool mod to install once i make it back.
I just wanted to brop by and see how things go. And to say my kudos to the maker!

Keep rockin our Boot mates.:rock:

[XanderF]

Hmmm...looks like almost none of the files are continuing to exist on Filefront.

DD - I did have another question. In addition to the "Open Hatch" mods, I'd seen (past tense, missing now) on your Filefront page the "Type II periscope correct" mod.

First off, of course, I REALLY like the correct location of it. MUCH better. And the re-texture of it is a huge improvement, as well.

Only thing is...the 'gauges' in the conning tower seem to get goofed up by it. They drop down to the 'low res' versions (even with the 'high res' mod installed - it seems to work fine for the main U-Boat rooms - the control room gauges are fine, as are the gauges in the sonar room...all high resolution, there. But the conning tower is very definitely the low-res gauges now).

[johnm]

I'm probably showing my ignorance here but when I tried to download the files, I obtained TypeVII_OpenHatch_V1.01 no problem but
TypeIX_OpenHatch_V1.0 and TypeVII_OH_Peri_Correct both dropped into Filefront's home page!

I've had this happen with other SHIII files as well.

What am I doing wrong?

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

my fault. I´ve forgotten to include the *.tga files for the conning tower in the HiRes Package. This issue will be fixed with the next update.

@johnm:
TypeIX_OpenHatch_V1.0 has been replaced by V1.01. TypeVII_OH_Peri_Correct was corrupted and has been replaced<br>
That´s why the links don´t work.

@all:
I´m building a site where all my mods are linked and described. Just click the pic in my signature. It´s not completed yet. But I try to keep it up to date. The number of postings in this thread makes it a little hard to follow the mod´s development.

Being able to go into the quaters/engine room would be awesome!

One of my favorite improvements graphically speaking.

[Hellraiser]

Yeah, hey I'd be up for contributing to a project that would devote some time to opening/creating new compartments.

As great as this game is, the major thing it lacks is the feeling that you are living inside a steel tube for weeks/months on end ...simply because you can't go there and live it!

Not a knock at all, because I believe this is by far the best sim of any kind ever created.


If a first person shooter like ...say...Medal of Honor Frontline can have a Uboat interior with multiple compartments (albeit not accurate) Why on earth didn't they do it with this game???

[XanderF]

I do have a question, since this appears to be the only success I've seen really modding the interior of the U-Boats...

...any possibility of adding the "well" for the attack periscope in the control room? IE., the tube that runs through the middle of the room, near the obs scope, where the attack periscope (currently modelled as elevated to the conning town) sits when not in use?

[Alex]

Great idea, mate...

But before I start another approach at the next compartment I have to dig deep to get the obs periscope moving up and down by key command.

It may be possible when DD will find how to move it by key command : cause it would be weird to be in the conning tower and to click on an attack periscope down. :-?
I have to admit I like it like it looks like in game. ;)
But it sure would be better to be able to move it.

I've asked for this many times; but you do have one small mistake: the attack scope housing is right behind the conning tower ladder, but it's near where the observation scope is in the game, not in real life. There is a mod which moves the observation scope to its true position in front of the ladder, and it is used in the open hatch mod. I agree, the attack scope housing is important, as it is very large and takes up a big portion of the control room.

Well, I did mean "near" in the VERY most abstract sense, but, yeah, you are absolutely right. Those periscope tubes are REALLY long, and penetrate deep into the hull. Missing the housing for them running through the control room...definitely feels more 'empty' than it should.

I've just realised that there quite a bit of protuding rod coming out into the control room with the open hatch mod(both 1.01 type VII and IX). Am i seeing what everybody else is seeing or am i being dellusioned:shifty:. Kinda bug me after i noticed them

DD issued a correction which resolved this on the type VII

http://www.a7700.de/sh/modsshiii.htm

Scroll down and download Type VII Periscope Position Corrected file.

Not sure about the IX though....haven't looked at this one yet!!

Edit: Just had a look at the Radio Room in IX and I can't find any artifacts ( pipework coming through bulkheads etc) with the Open Hatch mod applied. Took me ages to find the obs scope ...never been in one of these before :oops: :lol:

[Pascal]

How to obtain the "stock' captain position ? (when using the stock periscope position, of course). I found the actual captain position is too close the man at right. Than kyou

Am i seeing what everybody else is seeing or am i being dellusioned:shifty:. Kinda bug me after i noticed them you´re right. I did adjust the artefacts intersecting the bulkhead to the radio room only. I never thought anybody ever would recognize them in CR.


BTW, I´ve been asked to do. So I wrote a tweakfile to change the gunners viewpoint position.

http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/894/gunview003yf1.jpg http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/732/gunview001iz4.jpg

All available guns cameras may be tweaked with this file. As always detailed installation instructions are included. The archive contains a tweaked Guns_SUB.cam file. Use on own risk.

Use the following values to change the viewpoint as shown above right.
UseInitialLocalPos = 1
X = 0,04081
Y = 0,045
Z = 0

[Chisum]

Hello all,


Sorry if you are already talking about it, but I have not time to read everything.
I get a problem with the Open-Hatch.
As you can see on the pic joined, the level is different on the control panel and in the U-Boat: 130 m inside and 20 m on the CP witch is the right mesurement.

In same time I can't use the Hydrophone manuelly.
In fact, all indicator are standing right and never moving...
Also I must say that at the beginning, everything was running correctly.

Any solution please ?

Thanks in advance.

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

proofing that this mod isn´t dead I´m investigating how to make my own light- and shadowmaps. The issue lies with the TMAP. It is needed to attach these maps to the object. If this TMAP section is missing, the textures are pretty dark (see first pic below).

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/3017/tviiperi05jr0.jpg
periscope well without TMAP

below is the same well with TMAP
http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/7946/tviiperi03gg6.jpg http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/7858/tviiperi02hi0.jpg
This is what I´ve got so far. Some objects belonging to the periscope housing are still missing. Besides this typeIX well is looking strange in a typeVII. FlakMonkey modelled a correct typeVII well. But unfortunately he´s got no TMAP. As a result the texture remains dark. See this thread (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=116934).

DD

[urfisch]

this is fantastic! nice success in progress, dude! maybe a new compartment is not that far away any longer...

:up:

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

here are some tweakfiles to change the color of the ambient light.
copy them to ..\SH3 Mini Tweaker\Tweakfiles\...
run mini tweaker and load the respective tweakfile for:
CR = command room
RR = radio room
CT = conning tower
choose whether to change daytime or nighttime color
alter values for Red / Green / Blue
You may not alter the light´s color for silent running. Still lacking of a trigger to switch it on.

http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/1084/turquoiseviisonar02ic9.jpg http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/4359/cr002ev7.jpg

Attention:

For each but typeII I´ve written 3 tweakfiles (CR, RR and CT).

Make sure to change the values for all three compartments (CR, RR, CT)!!!

If you´re using open hatch you have to change the typeVII and typeIX values in CR and CT only as there is no or only a 0KB RR.dat present. You´ll get an error message if trying to load the respective tweakfile.

I have a question regarding glare in the light bulb. Is there anyway to change the brightness of the actual light bulbs? I've always found them a little too bright for me. If there was a graphic file I could adjust that.

(oooh...one quick question. Your pictures seem so much more realistically lit than mine. My control room seems so...washed out in comparison. Are you running any mods or anything that make the contrast greater, or rooms darker, or something?)

Regards,

Very cool!

Hmmm...I would not have thought it possible (usually, items of the same 'type' use the same shader/textures), but your 'party sub' pic indicates that different lights ARE possible, so...

...for a touch of detail, why not use some 'brighter' and 'dimmer' lights (for example, mix some of your new lights with the stock lights...or, anyway, some lights halfway between yours and the stock) to indicate a more aged boat with a set of bulbs not quite all factory-freshly-installed?

Anyone who has been through a warehouse or machine shop that has been running any significant length of time will note the variety of grunge on the light bulbs based on time since last replacement. I would expect that the U-Boats would see a similar effect on their lights.

[Alex]

@ DD : Do you will release the new lights separately ? Cause the open hatch is a mod, and all SH3 players haven't necessarily a computer able to run SH3 with the open hatch mod enabled, but separately, the new lights could be taken into the expansion update we are all waiting for... :up:
I'm just wondering ! http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/1235/invisionboardfrance540tq0.gif

Exactly, you´ve got the point. That´s why I´ve posted these "party sub" pics.

I thought about it. But the tweakfile I´ve written for that matter is a little complicated. But in case the guys you don´t name ;) ask for it, I wouldn´t withhold the needed information. But I think they know how to change them as well.

I like very mutch your Christmass atmosphère !
Very nice !
Great job.

Anyway I get an other problem.
After having bought the RADAR and the SONAR, I lost all graphics (hydrophone room and RADAR room) in my IXb. But I have just seen that one needed a special mode for the IX ? Is this the reason of my problem ?

Edit:

It's ok Iget the green !

Fantastic !
Many thanks.

I've an other question: in the pdf I read this:


"The ambient light´s color for silent running may not be changed using them".


Does that want to say that when we shift to the silent running mod the lights become again red ?
Because I never yet saw any automatic change of color...

[Hartmann]

In the normal game, the light changes from white to red at night, could be possible make the day light in blue that change to red at night hours ??:hmm:

[Alex]

Yes ! :up:
It's possible via minitweaker

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=579237&postcount=725

Download this mod, and set the values yourself to have a blue light at daytime. :yep:

ps : you can change the colours for night and day separately, and you can even change the colour of the light for CR (command room), RR (radio room) and CN (conning tower) separately. :p

There is no trigger to have a blue light when silent running though :(... It's a hardcoded thing, unfortunately.

[Chisum]

Of course I've installed this mod with SH3 mini Tweaker, but I don't understand, why this "The ambient light´s color for silent running may not be changed using them" if the light still always the same ?

You lost all graphics? Do you mean the radio room just vanished or did the textures vanish?

When ordering to run silent, nothing will change. The ambient light stays at the same color you choosed for day/night. If we want to switch to blue when running silent, we need a triggerering byte. But there is none in the *.dat.


@Hartmann:
use my tweakfiles to change the daytime ambient light to blue.

http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/9600/radaraj7.th.jpg (http://img299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=radaraj7.jpg)

As you can see, I lost everything except some buttons.
I turn off OpenHatch and OpenHatch HiRes, all was ok.
It was onboard a IX.

Other question, historical this time.
How was the real lighting onboard U-Boat ?
How was it really the day and the night ?

I think the red was only before exit by night or before using the periscope, but i'm not sure because never see picture or movie in color onboard a real U-boat.

[3Jane]

I have the 'TypeVII_OpenHatch_V1.01' with the 'Hi-res' activated and the 'TypeVII_OpenHatch_Peri_Correct' activated, however although the periscope has move dto it's correct position. The floor fixture remains at the rear of the compartment. The 'type VII_OpenHatch_Peri_Corect' extracts on my machine just as a file named 'Data', not sure if this is this the way this file should look. Have I got a wonky download of that file or should I just repack the file structure so it is like the rest of the JSGME mod files. Otherwise the mod looks great.

[R48]

I´ve made the lights a little warmer adding some red to them. Even if you don´t see it on the screens above, the lights are dimmed. The halo and the source aren´t as bright as in stock. Tell me what you think!

Great! I'm glad you dimmed the lights. Are they available for download yet?

Moin,

@Chisum:
this sounds very strange to me. Never heard of a problem like that. Is your RR.dat 0KB in size?

@3Jane:
if the periscope´s floor housing is not underneath, then OH_Peri_Correct is not installed properly. Check your downloaded file. It should extract a folder "data", that´s correct. Copy this folder to your mods folder. Then enable via JSGME. Make sure to enable OH_V1.01 first, thereafter OH_Peri_Correct !!!

It's possible to change it ?
