[REL] 2D Interior(Captain's Bunk)

[wetwarev7]

Ok, I was able to scrape up some mod time and was able to use Capt Cox's Pull Down Pacific Map mod as a base to create a new "interior".

For all of you who enjoy lounging and relaxation during those long voyages, I proudly present to you the Captain's Cabin:

I did not resize it to fit the screen because the sides don't really stand out, yet your periphreal visions picks up on the swaying motion so you still feel like you are on board.

If you want to host this file, please do so.

I don't plan on doing a anything else with this, so if anyone else thinks they can do better, please do!

hi all thanks for doing the cabin!:up: but does it look like the real one?? and how do you get into it in the sim.:)

[wetwarev7]

It replaces the gramaphone image, so just open up the gramaphone. It'll pop up in the upper right corner, just drag it where you want it.

And it looks like the real captain's cabin from SH3, cause, well, it is! :P

Many thaks for job and effort ! :up:

Very nice idea...

But, please, can you explain it for me ?

What is that "watermark" ?

And why it call me for to register at www.fcoder.com ?

I will see this watermark into the game if not register ?

Thanks in advance ! :up:

Because I used the trial version of Image Converter Plus to convert the image to .dds, it places a watermark on the image.

You don't see that portion of the image in-game though. Look at the original post. :up:

Since you seem to have a copy of Adobe Photoshop, why don't you re-convert the original, resize the image in the Menu_1024_768.ini file, and repost the mod?

Edit: Bah! I'll have to email it to you if you want it. Imageshack changes the size and extension.

Do you want a free .dds converter ? With no need to register ? Send me a PM. Then the watermark will not disturb you in future works.... If i am not wrong that i am using do not need it.

If you want, send my the .tga file i will convert it to .dds with no watermark for you and you can repack the mod.. :up:

About to resize the image, i am not sure wich is the better way, may be only changing lines into 1024 ini is enough to extend the image....

Any way, just say me wich exact size you want and i can do it quickly ....



Many thanks for the job, it looks very nice !!!! :up::up::up:

[RICH12ACE]

i do hope some can make a us sub captains cabin with your mod :yep: .also does any one know what us cabin looked like? in any books etc...... and were about is it on the real sub.

This is the quarters for two Lieutenants, not the Captain's...but officer quarters all the same.

[wetwarev7]

Sweet!

Redwine, if you'll convert that to .dds and post it here, I'll punch it into the mod.

[RICH12ACE]

sweet!:rock:

I think so, i cant, i need the clear .tga with no watermark...

:up:

[wetwarev7]

Actually, Redwine, If you could convert this image to .dds, maybe increse the size to 1280x1024, I can put it into the mod.

Not posible, program gives me the alert size is not power of 2.

Sure for that you have the two bands at each side of the screen... :hmm:

It must be 1024x1024, 512x512....

[MONOLITH]

Here, a DDS and a JPG version, both 1280x1084. Just right click and save as on the links.

:up:

My converted program refuse to convert on non power of 2 sides ...

Why ? :hmm:

I was looking and there are .dds files with non power of 2 sides ... :hmm:

[MONOLITH]

I used the dxtbmpx tool listed in the "SH4 modding tools" here at the top of the forum. It didn't seem to care about the power of 2 thing.


EDIT: Corrected the name to dxtbmpx

[Redwine]

I used the BTXBmp tool listed in the "SH4 modding tools" here at the top of the forum. It didn't seem to care about the power of 2 thing.

Thanks, i was using "DDS Converter 2"

I will try that... :up:

Well i look on that... the DDS Converter 2 is the dds tool included into the"SH4 Modding Tools" and it refuse to convert non power of 2.

Wich is that BTXBmp Toll you mentioned ?

I cant found it into the pack.... :hmm:

Only the DDS Converter 2 and the .8bi plug in for Photoshop.... the others are nvidia tools...

Downloading now... many thanks. :up:

[Redwine]

Works !

But wich are the best settings for store or convert....?

DTX3textures, DTX5 Textures... ? DDS 32bits, DDS16 bits

Wich settings you use ? Or which settings are the correct way to save the .dds file ?

With the DDS Converter 2 and the Photoshop Plug in, i was aving into 32 bit and DTX3.... (both) but here there is only one choice... if you select DTX3 or DTX 5, you cant select 32 bits ..... is that needed or correct ?

Thanks in advance... :up:

:up:

Awesome! When I get home tonight, I'll integrate it and upload! :up:

[MONOLITH]

Redwine, I have to confess I'm not sure which settings are best or most appropriate. One of the other guys will surely know...maybe CaptainCox.

I know that I just left mine at the default settings, I didn't change anything. I just took a dds file, converted it to bitmap or jpeg, made the changes to it I wanted with Photoshop, then used the converter to resave it as a dds again, and it worked fine in-game.


I used it with CaptainCox's table map mod, I changed some of the pinup girls on the sub walls with it. Really easy to do, worked fine. :up:


Same with this captains quarters pic... I just saved the image from here, changed the size in photoshop to the 1280x1084, then saved it as a dds with the converter.

We'll see if it works when wetwarev7 reports back.

[RICH12ACE]

hi i put the 2d sh3 captain cabin pic in sh4 how do you put the new[ us] 2d cabin pic in the sim??

[wetwarev7]

hi i put the 2d sh3 captain cabin pic in sh4 how do you put the new[ us] 2d cabin pic in the sim??

Um...Convert it to .dds, rename it to gramaphone.dds, and hope for the best!

I'm kinda getting sidetracked - I just recieved my Destroyer Command and SH2 in the mail today.....

I'll get around to adding the new pic as soon as I can tear myself away from this, unless someone else wants to do it.

[wetwarev7]

Ok, I tried it out, and honestly, I just didn't think it looked good. Maybe I'm just used to the SH3 captains bunk, but for some reason, it just looks like a picture. I don't know if it's the drapes, or the sink, or the bed, or what. I even tried going to that site and getting a better angle, but no go.

I'm looking for other pictures of US sub bunks, if anyone finds anything, please post it here. I'm also looking for a decent radio pic to replace the radio.

[MONOLITH]

a decent radio pic to replace the radio.

You know, this gives me an idea.

I wonder how many things in game we could actually replace with real images.

I mean, since we can open the .dds files, it would seem like almost any aspect of the interior could be altered with a real image.

Hhmmmm......

Go, man, go!

[RICH12ACE]

please please get this mod done:up: :rock: some one must have a pic/s of us sub captain cabin! somewhere. :hmm: :hmm:

[Canonicus]

While I appreciate and find your effort to be good...I just don't want a U-boat Captains cabin in my Fleetboat....

[RICH12ACE]

you dont have to go in it! :smug: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[wetwarev7]

While I appreciate and find your effort to be good...I just don't want a U-boat Captains cabin in my Fleetboat....

I could just update it as is, and give the user the choice as to which cabin to use....I was kind of holding off to find a radio picture as well.

[hardermob]

Here's another... a Gato class Captain's stateroom:

[ViperU48]

good find hardermob!

Now can anyone convert that image to .dds? that'd be awesome!

[RICH12ACE]

hi is some one still working on this mod???:hmm:

[wetwarev7]

hi is some one still working on this mod???:hmm:

I might get around to bringing in that last pic at some point, but as I stated in the OP, I didn't really plan on working much with this, and it's up for grabs for anyone who wishes to make changes to it. :up:

It's really quite simple to do it. Just convert the image to .dds(look in the sticky thread for a converter) and replace the Gramaphone image file.

[wetwarev7]

Does anyone have a copy of this mod? I've had a hard drive crash and lost all the mods I made, and the download link doesn't work anymore. :cry:

(EDIT: NEVERMIND I FOUND A COPY :up: )
