[REL]OpenHatch_V3_RH released

[DivingDuck]

Moin Reece,

the lamps aren´t pure white. The red a yellow parts of the particle generator cause this most probably when interferring with the blue ambient light. I´ll see whether I can make my new tweakfile user friendly. Thus you could adjust the lamps´ lights as well.
But there´s a rub in it though. The adjusted lamps are the same for night and day.

Regards,
DD

[Reece]

That's wierd as stock the lamp is red only at night, your posted screen shows blue lamps, I assume you have changed the particles for this? Does yours have Dual lights?
Could you show me where to make the changes there please (assuming this will give dual color lights).
Thanks.:yep:

For those who use a blue night light will find that the NavMap still uses a Red filter, here is a blue one:

Cheers & thanks again DD!:up:

[DivingDuck]

Hey Reece,

yeah, I´ve changed particles. My screenshots where made from my NYGM installation. Maybe GWX/NYGM changed the color of those lights already. In fact the lamps´ color doesn´t change to red at night. It´s just the ambient light layered on top, serving as a filter. Kick me if I´m wrong.
I´ll rework the tweakfile and release it the next days.

Regards,
DD

[Reece]

A Big Thanks DD.:yep:

[Chisum]

Reece, this pretty blue map is an update or a light rendering ?

I try to get a natural old electric light, something between pale white and light yellow(covered with filth and oil…), but it's very hard due de reflections and the light intensity.

For the red, I only put some in the CT by night. It seems more realistic but I would like nevertheless to know how it was really…

[wildchild]

hi top work have been using your mod but iv noteis that your can still see your lights and just thinking. What about doing one to open the coning hatch's but they would have to close soon as you hit your dive butten :hmm:

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

@wildchild:
first pic - through a curtain. I´ll leave it that way.
second pic - it´s the hatch itself, I´ll check whether it´s my fault or a SH3 bug. The raytracing controller used by the SH engine isn´t the most accurate one, you know.
But thanks for the advice anyway.


Regards,
DD

[wildchild]

have you thort about the coning tower hatch think that would be top
what do you no about making a node :hmm:

[Steel_Tomb]

Inside the sub the light from the bulbs is still visible through poles and through the hatch like in the pic. Is this just SHIII, because the lighthouse light passes through my watch crews heads lol.

Yes, but before he had to leave for a 2 week vacation to Norway. ;)
He should be back soon.

DD. im sorry to ask this question again.
is it possible to open the hatch from the zentrale to the cunningtower ?
couse. you can shift + F2 trough it (like the zentrale -> radio room)


would be nice to have it.
i would try it myselve if i knew how to do. and wich programs to use

basically no problem. But actually it is lower priority on my to do list. First I have to rework the buoy mod. Then ...

any chance you can learn me how to do ? :hmm:

[DivingDuck]

Moin Kaleu Mohr,

basically it would be no problem to teach you. I´m not withholding any information. But don´t get this wrong. It would be the same amount of work than doing it myself, even if you have some modding experience already. It would mean to introduce you to 3d modelling and 3d models hex structure as well as to hex editing. So it´s a matter of time I don´t have atm. I will consider adding this open hatch to CT asap. I keep you advised. Besides, I don´t know how many would be interested in an addition like this. Consider that the hatch could not be closed, at least I don´t have a clue how to do atm. Maybe there is a clue waiting to be found. Time will tell.

Hey Kaleu Mohr,

thanks for pointing out this thread. I must have missed that one. Seems as if there are some guys around who would be interested. And to be honest, you´re not the first one to approach me for this matter. Over in the German UBI forum I was asked about this as well. I don´t promise anything, but I can tell you, it is still on my list.

[silentwayIII]

Diving Duck:

Many of us play SHIII with the XXI using reconfigured basic and flotilla configs. So, I was wondering if your mod could be adapted for the XXI. Its a great mod and adds much to the immersion factor...can it be done and...would you do it at some time?

SilentwayIII

[K Gunz]

Genedige Urfisch,

What a great mod:D. Downloaded it last night and tried the mod in Kiel prior to setting off on patrol. One thing (you did say that you wanted to be informed of any observations), when I went to the radio and sonar rooms both of the crewmen were not at their posts (cleared off, AWOL - disciplinary matter I'm sure). Is this meant to happen (I was stationary in the dock) as normally the sonar and radioman are at their posts awaiting orders etc?

Bis dann,
K Gunz

[Jhereg]

Hi DD, great work on this amazing mod!:rock:

I can not seem to find your interiors for the type II on your filefront page, FF might have nerfed them.:damn:

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

@silentwayIII:
it can be adapted. There have been others asking for this already. Sorry, I didn´t do til now. Never played the XXI so far. Last time I saved a mission was in June 2006. It´s on my to do list. Hope you can live with that.

@K Gunn:
which version do you use? They should be in position after installation.

@Jhereg:
thanks for the info. I´ll have to check all my links. Seems as if FileFront deleted some files of mine without prior info that they have been qeued for deletion. I´ll re-upload the file in question.

Regards,
DD

[K Gunz]

Genedige DivingDuck,

Thanks for the response. I am running the VII (JSGME compatible ver) with Peri Correct and I am running the GWX mod. If I look at the crew icon (where you can see where all the crew are in the different compartments), positions are filled. When I then click on the radio/sonar icon and am actually looking at where the guys should be at their stations there are just the empty seats - the posts are unoccupied. If I look through the hatch into the command room, I can see the nav officer and weapons officers at their posts. Hope this helps because I have disabled the mod as I needed to get out on patrol. I will have to wait until U-83 hopefully returns safely to try this fabulous mod again.

Bis dann mein freund

Thanks for your reply. Looking forward to when your XXI mod is available.

Moin K Gunn,
Genedige DivingDuck,

Thanks for the response. I am running the VII (JSGME compatible ver) with Peri Correct ...
K Gunz
make sure to use the following versions and enable following this order:
TypeVII_OpenHatch_V1.01
TypeVII_OpenHatch_HiRes, if needed
TypeVII_OpenHatch_Peri_Stock OR TypeVII_OpenHatch_Peri_CorrectThe problem you reported occured with V1.0 only, IIRC. The actual version is linked directly from my sig. Try this one and report back if you don´t succeed.


Regards,
DD

[K Gunz]

Genedige DD,

Many thanks for your response. I have checked the files that I downloaded and I did download the v1.01 and followed the instructions from earlier in this thread. You mention HIRes if needed (what is the difference between the HIRes and the other one - I am running a 32bit system, is the HIRes for use with a 64 bit?)- I ask that question because I don't think I used the HIRes version. Anyway, I will probably try deleting and then re-downloading and see if this helps (I am mid patrol at the moment and so will have to wait until (hopefully) U-83 makes it back).

Bis dann mein freund
K Gunz

[DivingDuck]

Hey K Gunn,

the mod was based on my NYGM installation. That´s why GWX users lost their HiRes gauges and interior textures. Therefore I released the HiRes addition. Other major mods than GWX and Stock may be affected as well. I don´t remember atm. If you didn´t recognize a loss of detail, you don´t need to enable HiRes. Check the installation instruction, it gives two screenshots regarding this matter.

Regarding your problem:
which other mods are you running?
what is the size of your NSS_UBoat7_RR.dat? (should be 0KB after installation)
Regards,
DD

[K Gunz]

Genedige DD,

Thanks for the reply. I do not seem to have lost any detail in my command room graphics - except that my radio operator and sonar operator have deserted their posts :D. I am running a multitude of mods (obviously GWX) and others such as the Elite U-boat Uniform Mod, Improved Das Boot Icons Mod, Twisty Periscope Mod, Viib Skin Mod, Sea Floor bottom Mod, Extended Wakes Mod, Peri UZO Mod, Contact Colour Mod, Torpedo Damage Mod and loads of others. Does this help?

Thanks for looking into this for me.

Kind regards
K Gunz

[DivingDuck]

Moin K Gunn,

the easiest way would be to make a screenshot with JSGME open. And please check the size of the NSS_UBoat7_RR.dat after installation of OpenHatch.

Regards,
DD

[K Gunz]

Genedige DD,

Thanks for your patience on this one. I couldn't figure out how to put a screen shot on here (I know there's just no hope for me is there?:oops:). I have taken a screen capture (snagit) of the JSGME open, is there any way I can attach that to these replies or forward it to you? Regarding the size of NSS_UBoat7_RR.dat after installation of OpenHatch - have just got back to Kiel after the most successful patrol I have completed and tried reloading the open hatch mod. The NSS_UBoat7_RR.dat shows as 0 bytes - could this be what the problem is?:cool:

Bis dann Karleun
K Gunz

[DivingDuck]

Moin K Gunn,

if the file is 0KB in size everything should be fine.
I´ve heard about snagit, but never seen it. Which file format does it use? If it is a common image file format (jpg, bmp, gif, ...) I would recommend to use imageshack.us or photobucket.com to upload your screenshot. Both are free to use.

SnagIt saves images in most common formats. You get to choose the format you want to use. It can also do vidcaps. Only drawback is that it's payware but worth it if you need some of the features it has.

[Kpt, Otto]

Hello DivingDuck, first can I say I think this is a great Mod and to thank you for all the time you must have spent on it. :up:

I have it installed and it works great, but I was just wondering if the elements bleeding over in other compartments got solved in an update? :hmm:

The version I have is type VII 1.01.



if not then ah well ! Its still a brilliant Mod! :up:

Kind regards,

[DivingDuck]

Moin Kpt.Otto,

the problem is fixed already with version V1.01. Make sure you have V1.01 installed. If so try to disable and re-enable the mod.
But there are still fragments intersecting the bulkhead to the command room. They are on my to do list for further updates.

Regards,
DD

[K Gunz]

Genedige Karleun DD,

Just got back from the patrol mentioned above and now upgraded to a VIIC. I have several other problems with the graphics (trying to get my exhaust smoke working is one). I will try and get these basics working first and see how I get on - then with your kind permission will try open hatch again. Thanks again for your patience on this.

Kind regards and respect

Yesterday was the first tim I installed open Hatch and sailed around. This is great stuff. The feeling is great. Needed a few minutes to adjust to the new open room, but i will never sail without it ever again.

I'm also very fond of the Peri_fix for the Type II since this is my work Horse over at W@W III.

Bloody show off DD. :o totally outstanding.

[XanderF]

One more question on the 'open hatch' mods...

In the mod 'DD_TypeII_Peri_Correct_V1r.rar', 'TypeII_Peri_Correct_HiRes' directory, you make use of a texture 'periscop_2.tga'. In the lower left of this file is the texture for the periscope shaft from inside the boat, and I REALLY like this effect. However, it only seems to be used on the Type II U-Boats. The periscope shaft in the Type VIIs is just a flat gold-brown color, no apparent texture at all. And when using the 'peri_correct' version of the mod, the 'scope is pretty much right in the middle of the room, so gets seen quite a bit!

Oh, and one more thing...

:D

A number of pages back, there was some discussion surrounding adding the periscope 'wells' into the control rooms for the second 'scopes. Per below. Did anything come of this?

MOST looking forward to some developments on this!

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

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

@XanderF:
as everybody has installed MiniTweaker to another (non-standardised) path, I can´t make it JSGME ready. But it´s only a matter of copy&paste. Copy all files to ...\SH3_MiniTweaker\TweakFiles\... and run MiniTweaker. That´s it.
As for the periscope´s skin. I didn´t change anything about the uvw mapping or the textures themselves. That would be a job for a guy more talented in skinning than me.
The persicope well is not abandoned yet. Still investigating TMAP.

@All:
had no chance to test the files with other than my OpenHatch installation. So I would need some feedback on the non-OH typeVII and typeIX.

Regardless of what mod you use, the CT lights have to be modified separately. OpenHatch users don´t need to / must not load the RR tweakfiles for types VII + IX. All others have to tweak RR lights as well separately.

DD

1. Right, but what I was getting at is that a JSGME-ready version wouldn't use the mini-tweaker. Once a configuration is finished up as 'good', you could just export the changed files as a JSGME-ready mod. It wouldn't be a "tweakable" mod, just one you import directly.
2. Ah, right. I'll have to dig into that some, it's definitely a cool effect.
3. Looks great!

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

...Once a configuration is finished up as 'good', you could just export the changed files as a JSGME-ready mod. It wouldn't be a "tweakable" mod, just one you import directly. Ok, I´ve got it. Dimmed/adjusted lights will be part of the next update.


GOOD NEWS about TMAP

@All:
And here´s good news guys. I was able to create a TMAP section and attached it to FlakMonkey´s periscope well. As you can see on the screenie, there´s way to go. A new light map matching the mapping coords is needed. But it´s a start to begin with.

I read that the open hatch mods are very hard on the cpu, can I reposition the periscopes alone to? Or do I have to cope with the current position??
Well i don't thing that. Sure if you GC had already slowdown problems with the interior of the sub then it will still be there and even a bit worser.

As for me i did not notice any changes since the Open H. mod. And i don't even ovn a a strong PC!:hmm:
Sure they expand the loading time as the newer sub interior is a bit larger than the old one. But not that bad you nay not even notice any of this. Depends on your PC.

Don't worry try it out. If it doesn't go well just remove it with JSGME!

I managed to get to the file by going to the Type VII link and tracking back from there. as the thread was started by Urfish he has access to the #1 post only. I always recommend to visit my site (www.divingduck.de (http://www.divingduck.de)) every now and then for any news, version information and download links.



...can I reposition the periscopes alone to? Or do I have to cope with the current position?? I could, so everybody else can. It´s quite easy to move the periscope itself. But the periscope´s floor housing is tricky and needs hex editing.

TypeVII_OH_V1.01
TypeVII_Peri_CorrectAs TypeVII_Peri_Correct is an update only, it is necessary to enable on top.

Regards,
DD

Thats what I did. I just wanted to be sure its the right way of doing it. Thanks DD again:rock:

[Capt. Shark Bait]

:hmm: , if the forward hatch can be opened, why not the aft?

[Shepelly]

Bump ???????? How goes it ????????:hmm:

[Reece]

Oh I'm fine how are you!:lol:

[EZeemering]

Ill be fine if I get an answer? :)
Do you need to be in port to install this mod?

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

thanks, I´m fine as well. Actually I have some other modding issues to care about. So no news for today. There will be, but later. ;)

Ill be fine if I get an answer? :)
Do you need to be in port to install this mod? As this mod is an eyecatcher only, there is no need to be in port when installing.

Stay tuned,
DD

[nikbear]

This is exactly the same problem I'm having,could anyone please help with a solution;)

[jimmie]

That's truly impressive if it can be done but it must be really really difficult.

But for the back compartment, putting a paint of inside may be an idea. Yes, static picture will not change according to your eye movment. But the hatch is small, the inside of the command room is dark, and you won't see back compartment close with various default camera position, just a picture of inside of compartment may be well workable for "open feeling." And it'll be friendly to system req etc, too. If some artist can such picture!

[jimmie]

Yes, it's probably too luxurious to use an image from 3D model ;), but since incorporating the 3D model into the game has been a real hard task, that 3D work can be appreciated even as a 2D image. Just change the color to current control room and integrate it... (default camera sets at stand-up eye position so the picture of the model needs to be taken from much higher angle tho)

[rascal101]

Was wondering about this as it mead headlines when it first was released, can any one tell us if its GWX2 compatable?

[Woof1701]

No it's not. they're working on making it compatible. You CAN install it, and it will work, but it will delte all the changes the GWX crew made to the periscope housing etc. So just take your time. Open hatches will be coming soon.

[XanderF]

What changes did the GWX team make to the periscope housing in 2.0?

Nothing like this (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=116934&page=5), right?

[DivingDuck]

Moin XanderF,

the link you posted has the answer inside already. ;) We´ve added the typeVII attack scope housing to the command room, re-arranged and re-modelled the observers periscope. New OpenHatch versions (GWX2/NYGM/Stock) for the typeVII will be released soon. Stay patient.

Regards,
DD

[Myxale]

The periscome housing blew me away...such a piece of art! And the whole sub-interior is mindbending! The details are crazy. Kudos to that!:rock:

I really don't wanna sound needy...but haven't you mentioned something like adding ladders to the type II way back. Wadda ya say! Is this still planed!:hmm:

[Jochem]

Outstanding, I'm very impatient to definitively enjoy the authentic type VII compartments. Thank you very very much for the hard work ! :rock:

[tommyk]

What a great work! Thank you very much for putting such effort into it. :up:

I never understood the SH4-PR-yadda-yadda about less interaction is better and all other is 'only' eyecandy.

Then comes your type VII compartment and all the other great mods and although I own the sh4CE, I only play sh3(gwx) because of all the detail and the immersion created by this and other mods.

Thank you & Cheers :up:

[Jimbuna]

Where's The Milkman ? :hmm:

[RICH12ACE]

please keep working on this mod! it will be great:rock: :rock: :rock:

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

thanks for your appreciation, gentlemen. But, please, bear in mind that the attack scope housing 3d model was made by FlakMonkey. My task was just to incorporate it into the CR, and I got much help by Ref.

As for the typeII ladder, don´t remember any plans about adding it, but would be no problem to do so. It´s on my ToDo list now.

Regards,
DD

[tommyk]

Of course cheers go out for FlakMonkey :yep: I can only salute to such skills! :up:

[XanderF]

Wow. Quite an embarrassment of riches, then, if we can get all these things in! Amazing work!!

[Jochem]

yep, I hope sincerely we could enjoy it ! Keepin' the good work !

[Mikey_Wolf]

All I can say is don't muck with the duck!

[Sniper_Fox]

lookin good, if this can be implemented completely that means you can change the whole interior of a ship, and change it into anything you want? like add and delete cells and put ones in different locations and what not?

that would mean interiors for surface ships could be done :D

I have a bit of a problem with this mod. I have installed the normal, hires and the correct periscope version. And.. When i try to use the F9 key to enter the radioroom, i cant access the captains bed and my men in the radio + sonar room is missing.. It gets worse. When i try to enter the sonar room, i just get the notepad from the sonarroom. No dials or anything. Likewise when i try to enter the radioroom. Its like all the possitions have shifted a bit..

I have installed the 1.4 patch.

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.

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

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

The whole Type VII interior, including correct periscope, is included in GWX 2.1. They say the Type IX is waiting in the wings.

colors/textures may differ from actual look ingame



Moin,

I decided to rework the open hatch mod for typeIX and make a new one for typeXXI. All the interiors are based on GWX files now as I did typeVII and typeIX from scratch again. It took me so long because I had severe HDD troubles in the beginning of this year, my appologies.

The mod should run with all SHIII installations and contains the typeII + VII interiors as you know them from GWX2, except the lights. TypeIX is almost the same as before but got some small improvements regarding graphical glitches, though there are still some remaining. As it is based on GWX files now, the Bordinstrumente mod is not needed anymore to have HiRes graphics for the CR. The typeXXI was a bit tricky as CR and RR do not fit together actually. I hope you don´t recognize. LOL

Question - since I haven't tried the new one yet, but...how on EARTH do you get the sub's interior so nice and dark?

The stock models seems to have all surfaces self-lit, looks like they painted the sub in drab grey day-glo or something.

Those photos - MUCH BETTER.

Is this part of the mod, or something else you did?

[Sailor Steve]

There has been a lot of work improving all aspects of the game over the last three years. The original redo of the interiors was the Bordinstrument mod by OakGroove, who recently did some similar work on SH4.

I don't know if his work was incorporated into GWX or if they did there own version, but it doesn't matter. Diving Duck said that the pictures are from GWX, and that's where you'll find that interior.

[Marko_Ramius]

:o

This is just amazing, DD :up:

I have no words enough to thank you :sunny:

[wdq4587]

I deleted the .dat files in "correct interior diving angles" MOD and use JSGME install it. Then I got correct interior diving angles with this MOD or not. The dat files in that MOD is a better interior than sotck game. But with this MOD you don't need that.

[Wildhawke11]

Am i correct in thinking that with this new patch or mod that i can now remove the old open hatch mod ?

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

@XanderF:
I´ve done some work on the overall ligthing as well. So, it´s part of the mod.

@SailorSteve:
The new OH_V2 doesn´t need the Bordinstrumente Mod any longer to have HiRes Graphics. It uses whatever you have in your texture folders. In case you´re using Stock, with no additional graphics in the respective folders, you´ll come up with GWX interior graphics, that´s right. But I can´t tell who´s work the interior repaint was, as this was before I joined the team.

@wdq4587:
I´ve not checked the "Correct Interior Diving Angles" Mod until now. But from what I´ve read so far it changes the *.dat file. Thus you can not use both mods together. One mod will overwrite the changes of the other. Give me some time to investigate this issue.

@Wildhawke11:
You´re right. This new version is a stand alone mod. The old OH mod is not necessary any more.

Regards,
DD

S'all cool. I was just giving a brief history of how it came to look better than stock. I still have CCIP's "Doctor's Tale" video - it's still one of my favorites, but MAN the graphics have come a long way since then!:rock:

[DivingDuck]

No offence taken, Sailor! :D I was just explaining for those who are not that familiar with the game´s file/folder structure as you are.

Hi DD,

Nice to see you around again! :D

Thanks for rev 2 of your mod. The work you put into it is tremendous and many,many thanks for the ladders in the Type 2. Thought I'd never get to see them.:up:

Have tried rev.2 on GWX, Stock and WAC3. Works well, except for a colouration problem on WAC. The CR Hatch shows a bright yellow ring around the circumference from 2 o'clock, through 6, round to 8 o'clock approx. When I go into the bulkhead using shift +F2 , the underlying self illumination colour is that bright yellow colour. With Stock and GWX it is whiteish grey.

Don't know what you can do - I'd try fix it myself if I only knew which node was involved. I did look, but trying to compare two versions of that CR dat with S3d made my head hurt!!

Can you post a screenie, please. I´ve got a slight idea of what may cause this "ring". But I need a pic to confirm.

Will do, as soon as possible. They are at home on my games computer though and getting them posted may take a little while.

Hi DD
Herewith screenies as requested. Apologies if they are a bit scruffy. First time I've tried to do this sort of thing.

First pic is washed out and doesn't truly show the effect as it appears in game. The second ( inside bulkhead) shot does illustrate the violence of the yellow. Bit scary isn't it!

Moin,

does this problem occur with the typeVII only?
I´ve checked the *.dat files briefly and noticed that the typeVII bulkhead has no *.tga attached to it. The *.tga node is missing. So, the mapping ID may point to a texture map within another *.dat file. The only way to solve the problem would be to add this node. Have you installed my wooden speedboat by chance? IIRC the ID for the light´s map was the same once.

DD

Have checked the TypII and there are no graphical anomalies there. Not sure about the TypIXs. Will have a look at them too!

And yes, I do have your speedboat....HanSolo included in the WAC3 package.

He also found another use for one of the occupants (see:-

Sorry DivingDuck... sure it is due to my bad english.

I was out of the SH III forum for a time, tweaking my SH IV installation, then i had lossed some mods.

I was looking for to open my Type XXI Hatch, because i installed UWAC 3.0, customizing UWAC i seen this hatch closed, then i arrive to the topic.

I found your files and installed them (V2), i have the yellow light now... works fine on UWAC.


I am working to change some of your textures now, but some interior files resist to repack the textures into them, the size of the textures you used are diferent of that size i obtain in 24bits. :hmm::hmm::hmm:

I put the files into tex folder then.

But about the yellow lights....

All OK !!!

:up: many thanks !!!!

I know this program, i do not use it often because when you use it over a file, later, TimeTraveller's MiniTweaker become unable to manage that file any more.

Hi Red, welcome back, long time no see here in Sh3 section!:up:

S3D adds info to the start of each file that totally destroys

:nope: Yes that's the only draw back, I like using a file compare program & when ever I come across a file tweaked with S3d the compare is useless, I then have to load & save to be able to do the comparison, the only problem is that I end up with more and more files with Skwas copyright in it (no offense Skwas), it's a great program, just a shame the copyright has to be there!:cry:

[Madox58]

I'm writing a program to strip all the added stuff.
No offence, but I hate overhead.

[SquareSteelBar]

Hey, mates

Don't annoy Skwasjer! ;) http://img103.exs.cx/img103/6541/biggrin.gif

[Madox58]

Oh No!!
I'm not putting S3D down at all.
In fact?
With a few small lines of code?
Skwasjer could have it spitting out tweak files!!
It already gathers all the information.

I know TT planned on a version of File Analyzer that would create tweak files.
S3D is in the perfect position to do that now.

A lot of people still use Mini tweaker when able.
If S3D did tweak files?
That would really go over big.

Almost as good as a Pink Floyd Concert!
:rock:

[Redwine]

Well... that was the problem...

It seems the files managed by Silent 3Ditor can not be managed or tweked any more, not only by MiniTweaker, SH 3 Unpaker is unable to repack textures on files tweaked by S 3Ditor.

And... may be the same happens with SH 3 Crush Depth V2, becuase i was having some crash using it. :hmm:

I was able to repack textures using S 3Ditor on those files.

Very sad these programs are not compatibles. :hmm:

[Reece]

I wonder if putting his copyright at the end of the files would work!:-?:yep:

Hi Reece !

Can you explain that... ?

I am adapting now some mods to my personal installation, but sadly those mods have lot of files "hijacked" :lol: by Silent 3Ditor.

Some files DO NOT permit the sim to pick up personalized textures into the "tex" folder, then when i attempt to repack the personalized textures into them, with SH3 Unpacker, i have an error message.

If i do it with Silent 3Ditor, then there are no problem and the texture can be repacked normally.

The main problem is with files where you need to change data values, if i do it with TimeTraveller's MiniTweaker, i obtain a crash... i suspect for the same reason, the files was managed by Silent 3Ditor.

Do you know how to fix the files to be able to manage them with MiniTweaker another time ?

Thanks in advance. :up:

[Reece]

I think what happens is that Minitweaker using the txt files just works on locations starting from the beginning of the stock SH3 file, but when the file has been altered by S3D that has Skwas copyright version at the beginning of the file minitweaker is now out of whak, the beginning bytes are now longer and the addresses are no longer the same!:-? Gee there must have been an easier way to explain that but then it wouldn't be so much fun!:lol: If Skwas placed his copyright & version data at the EOF then minitweaker would still work & doing a compare the difference would only show at the end of the file, all fixed.:up:

[SquareSteelBar]

When I stepped into that prob for the first time, I replaced the Skwasjer file header by the original one before editing in MiniTweaker.

But to be honest: since S3D there is no need anymore for editing values by MiniTweaker... [Sorry, Timetraveller ;)]

People, you shouldn't be mixing MT and S3D even if I had put the copyright at the back. S3D is a far more advanced program than anything available, and allows full manipulation of any file (insertion/removal of data, like labels/strings/textures/chunks) and thus pretty much ANY file saved by S3D can't be trusted with MT (regardless of where I save the signature). This is why I save it in front, so I am sure people can't mix it, but also so I can keep track of versions used by everyone, and it helps a little getting more exposure too (to those still unaware of it's existance, and alot of modders even forget to mention me).

I respect all the work that has been done in the past on other free tools, but don't ask me to support them too. Making S3D is hard enough as it is. And it is designed as a program that is usable for both new and experienced modders, but sometimes you just can't please everyone. I'm getting a bit sick of the whole 'programs of old age' and 'hex' vs S3D thing by now. If you want to stick with those tools, fine, but don't complain at me or my work. Remember how it was 'before' S3D...

Respect my descision (and reasoning) and leave the signature in when you release a mod. You may not realise it but it has saved me, you and hundreds of other modders a whole lot of trouble already.

Thanks.

PS: No, I won't be generating tweakfiles from S3D. There's more interesting features to work on.
PS2: I have no problem doing binary compares. Maybe try different programs?

Your Program is great Skwasjer.. :up:

The matter is another program like Crush Depth Mod, wich allows to easy change crush depth, range on surface, range submerged, draft, do not works any more.

The most rare problem is, those files wich cant be managed any more by TimeTraveller's Programs, assumed tweaked by your Program, because they can be managed by S 3Ditor successful, somo times, in some rare cases, do not pick up the personalized textures into the "tex" folder, enforcing a repack of the new texture into the .dat file... here Sh 3 Unpacker is usseless too, enforcing the use of Silent 3Ditor.

The matter is... some textures for some of the files, into "tex" folder become usseless

Happened to me in this days with some sub camos from a mega mod.

Any idea about it ?

Reece, I use HexCmp and it works a treat. You can even align the data in both views, by providing an offset if you want to (in which case you'd provide the length of S3D's signature + 1). I've seen other software that does the same.

If authors of other programs are still around I encourage them to contact me so I can provide them info on how to work around the signature. It's fairly easy. If not, then I can't do much about it. As stated, use of hardcoded file offsets is a big no, and one should keep as far away as possible from such programs (to minimize headaches, CTD's and whatnot).

As far as texture problems, I am not aware of any problem that S3D introduces regarding this, other then errors on the modders part. If you suspect something is wrong, you can file in a bugreport (in the S3D thread) with sample material for me to check. I'll be happy to check it out...

Please use the S3D thread for further queries. This is about DD's fine Open Hatch mod ;)

Moin Redwine,

thanks for your report. You are the first to report the interior objects disappearing.
The yellow ring and some other issues have been brought to my attention by Cheapskate already. I´ve made a fix for them, that was tested by Cheapskate successfully. Maybe this will fix your problem too. Grab it here: http://files.filefront.com/DD+OH+V2101+TVII+WACrar/;11540762;/fileinfo.html (only needed for WAC users)
FYI, the yellow ring appears only, if my wooden speed boat is installed. As it is part of WAC, you´ll see the ring, because the bulkhead (incorporated to block the lights and prevent them from shining through the walls) calls a texture using the same id than the speed boat´s position lights. This issue is definitely fixed. The included *.sim files fix some equipment node related problems and may possibly get you rid of that strange bug too.

DD

Many thanks for quick response... DivingDuck !! :up:

I will try that fix as soon i was able to download, fileFront seems to be busy.

About this strange issue, i found it on a type VIIC, but if not remember bad, i seen it on a type IX too, i was on job over the tyep IX files, changing them for others, and editing them manually, because seems to be a conflict between editing programs, seems to woirks fine now... i cant repeat almost up to today the problem on a type IX.

The issue over type VII, goes out using the WAC files... wich contains the hatch opened, but not the yellow interior lights and the dark ambient illumination.

I was reading to edit them manually, but now, i will try your fix first.

Many thanks for job ! :up:

[Redwine]

Well two quick single missions played... the same where i found the issue... Gibraltar stock mission with type VIIC 1941 asigned by stock mission by default.

Fix for WAC 3.0 users seems to works fine... !

I will report any new... :up::up::up:

Thousand of thanks ! :up:

Hi Redwine :D
I am glad to hear everything seems to be working properly for you!
As DD said, I did some testing on OH_V2 with WAC 3.0.
The patches worked perfectly with most subs but there were seven variants that I could not get to load.
However, I'm confident that DD's patches were not at fault here. These files would not run with only WAC3.0 loaded!
As these difficulties are concerned with WAC3.0 only and in case you may be interested, I'll post a more detailed report over on the WAC3.0 sticky thread.

The fix seems to works fine... no more problems up to right now.

There are two ways to fix it on WAC 3.0 .... almost is how it worked fine for me...

The use of the fix, wich includes V2 files with the new 3D interior for type VII, the yellow lights and dark ambient/enviroment... no yeloow ring.

Or... the use of the V1 files, wich DO NOT includes the new 3D interior for type VII, the yellow lights and dark ambient/enviroment... and having the yellow ring.

Many thanks for help... :up:

Hello DivingDuck,

I'm not using WAC but GWX 2.1 with the open hatch JSGME'd in. But I did add your docked speed boat to my data sea & roster folders then scripted some docked speed boats into my harbor traffic. Currently in the IIA w/ no probs but I'm assuming since I added the speed boat I'll have the same issues as the Wac users when I progress to the VII? Will the patch you posted above work with GWX or is it WAC exclusive?


PS: Short off topic----been gone awhile---did you ever finish your floating Marina project (interlocking wooden piers for the harbours)? I might have overlooked it on your site or has it become a wash?

Regards,
Snafu

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

@Redwine:
glad it worked.

@Chepskate:
thanks again for your help.

@U-snafu:
the patch will work with all other installations too.
Regarding the floating marina, it was suspended again and again. The work for GWX was pretty time consuming. I can´t tell about it´s future. I´ve not made any plans so far.

Regards,
DD

[U-snafu]

Thanks DD,

With the patch I can keep the speed boat in now.

Ref the marinas --hopefully you will pick it up again someday--would love to populate the outer banks near the Graveyard of the atlantic with historic fishing villages---but understand the efoort that GWX has taken plus the upcoming SH4 GWX.

Hi,

I was adding your openhatch mod v2 into my GWX2.1 install, and as you said it works but the lights are somewhat different. Although I like them in general I would like to adjust them myself because I don't like too much the red ones or I would like to fix some "problem": I have found some differences between colors/brightness of several bulbs, and even one pure white bulb in type IX CR when the rest in the same CR are yellow.

In fact, I have tried to modify them using SH3 mini tweaker and your profiles posted some pages away of this topic (the v2 ones), but I have found that TT's mini tweaker gives me a Run-Time error and exits in most of the tweak files.

For example I installed the openhatch mod v2 and then opened the file 'DD_TypeIX_Lights_CR_OH_V2.txt', when trying to access any bulb it gives me the error telling 'Invalid property value'.

Maybe the minitweaker files are not up to date with the mod? How could I tweak the lights?

I would thank any help. Tx

I don´t recall to have put any tweakfile into the mod´s archive. So, any tweakfile you use is probably not up to date. But you should be able to change the values anyway (used relative addressing). One light in RR is missing in the OH_V2, that´s why the respective lines in the tweakfile cause some error message prompts. They can all be confirmed by clicking 'OK'. Afterwards MiniTweaker will work as expected. But I´ll have a look into the files and post a new set of tweakfiles when time permits.

I´ve been asked for updated interior lights tweak files for OH_V2 several times. Here they are: http://files.filefront.com/DD+Int+Lights+OH+V2+TweakFiles/;11774086;/fileinfo.html
I didn´t include an installation instruction nor a tutorial on how to use them. I guess you already know. Have fun.

For all who have installed my wooden speedboat and all WAC users, here´s a little patch to get you rid off the yellow ring around the hatch. http://files.filefront.com/DD+OH+V2101+TVII+WACrar/;11540762;/fileinfo.html. This patch can be used with any other installation as well. But it´s a patch only. OH_V2 must be installed/enabled before using it.

What an incredible work this is, DivingDuck you are indeed an artist. I have read this entire thread with great interest and gratitude for the work that went in to this. I had dl many of the earlier versions and had posted a question about what to use, but now i see that there is a combined one on the first page. Thank you so much. This looks indeed very true to what I have seen long ago. You have brought the past to the present. thank you.

Moin,

ever wondered whether OH has come to it´s final stage yet? It has not!

Everybody was always stating and bemoaning that it would never be possible to have the SHIII hatch revolving, including myself. The time has come to prove them all wrong. I have finally done it for good old SHIII too. And it is my pleasure to show you a short preview:

:o this mod with more rooms could be really amazing, good work

could be possible it for the conning tower and the bridge ?? :hmmm:

[joegrundman]

wow connecting to the conning tower and bridge would be cool

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

Terrific!!! :oPlease DD, finish this ASAP!! :up:

Sorry, Rubini. But this will take quite some time as GWX4 has the higher priority.

Technically no problem to put together CR and CT, but no way for CT and bridge as CT belongs to the interiors files while the bridge belongs to the exteriors. The explanation would be rather technical, but is available on request. ;)

Hello DD,

thanks very much for OH V2. Is there an easy way to remove the periscope for the Type VII ? It might be placed realistically, but the camera view sometimes collides with that periscope. For OH V1 you had a little mod to remove the peri, but is there also such a mod for OH V2?

By the way: I'm halfway familiar with S3D.

Thanks again!

DD is on holiday atm but I'm confident he'll get back to you on his return.

Moin,

ever wondered whether OH has come to it´s final stage yet? It has not!

Everybody was always stating and bemoaning that it would never be possible to have the SHIII hatch revolving, including myself. The time has come to prove them all wrong. I have finally done it for good old SHIII too. And it is my pleasure to show you a short preview:

See a short preview HD video here: YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-_JcPkV7cQ)



Before you get too overexcited, ... the release is not imminent. All my power´s going into GWX4 actually. So, don´t expect a release soon. I just wanted to show off a little, before anybody else does. ;)

Enjoy,
DD

This is wonderfull:rock:. I will be waiting for this.
Also I dream about a moving Obs periscope [up and down] in CR, but I don't know this can be done.:hmmm:

the little mod to relocate the obs scope to stock position was in fact some kind of a second version, but stripped down to include the CR.dat only. Quite a lot of people had asked for it. That´s why it came as an 'update'. But if you´re familiar with S3D, you can relocate it yourself. First you´ll have to remove the attack scope well. Then adjust the Z value for the obs scope. IIRC I´ve made the scope node parent to all belonging installations. So, they should move along with the scope.

Good luck,
DD
