NEW PERISCOPE By Kapt.Klaus

[Kapt.Klaus]

You may not sell or try and or take credit for making this. However you are more than welcome to post this any where for download. I made this because I liked the feel/looks of a real periscope when I played SSI Silent Hunter. So I took a screen shot inside the command room on the ship in SH4 and used that for the back ground. Copy this file to your Silent Hunter 4 directory \Data\Menu\Gui\Layout
You may want to make a back up of your: Periscope_Mask_1024.dds first.

You will have to unzip it first.

Please let me know what you think here!

That is an awesome piece of work, and im itching to try it out. If i like how it plays out in game, would you mind if i included it in Tmaru 1.3a? (modpack). Credit for the scope cited to you of course.

No problem, I would be honored.
You would have to send me then link to download the mod pack.

You can move your message bar and change lighting of it.

very :cool: mod. one thing i'ld like to see, tho. the background shifting as the scope rotates. as it is now it doesn't seem quite right. also, not sure if this mod did it or not, but when i press the raise scope keyboard button it doesn't rise when in the conning tower. the interface button seems fine, in that it rises normally. i'll disable it later and see

[CaptainKobuk]

There's another periscope MOD out there ("better periscopes mod"???) that has really easy to see compass headings. Super large in the top of the periscope view. Lights up at night as well. I can't play without that MOD anymore. Some things relieve so much eye-strain it's no fun without them.

In the standard stock perscope i can barely read the numbers without making a considerable effort. And my eyesight is fairly good.

I'm willing to sacrifice some asthetic realism for playability however. I understand the historical purist's mindset. Sometime though it results in tough to see things on a 19" monitor.

Very Nice, indeed.

I also think Cpt.Sharkbait's idea of a shifting background would be awesome..can it be done? It would be a first in any subsim, would it not?

[Jmack]

its very nice really
... but did you need to put your name on it ... and all the rest for all that matters ?

are you considering a diferent version ?

[Kapt.Klaus]

Shifting background is in possible, because the periscope image is an over lay of the exterior position of the sub. There for it is out side. If I was to make so then you would have a periscope rotating in air with sea all around it. Yes it would rotate but all you would see is water and sky on either side.


I put my name in the mod so some one could not re post it some where and claim it as theirs. I spent a lot of time on it.


I would be willing to remake one with out my name in it. Provided SubSim would post it on their main download page and give me credit.

What is JSGME?

[Jmack]

mod enabler ... very usefull tool

make a readme file add it to your mod saying its yours

JMack, I like you, your alright.

But that would not stop someone from downloading it. Unzipping it adding their own text doc in there or just deleting mine and then re distributing it. It would take more work for them to convert the image edit my name out of there and recompress with the settings inorder for it to work.

It is sad, but I have created other mods for games and had some of my work so called stolen. This way it is like an artist signing his painting.

This is how I feel when a person steals credit for another man's work >:damn:

by shifting background, i'm referring to inside the conning tower so you're not seeing the same gauges as you rotate. i think you migh've missed what i was getting at, but no worries. it's still the :cool:est

No-one is stealing your credit K K. The file was created for ease of installing but if it bothers you that much that it's available for download on someone else's location then consider it removed. I also suggest that you remove the quotation in your post above that shows the link to the download. The file cannot be removed as yet because of site maintenance.

Fearless: Your the one that post the RAR link? I have no problem with that, by the way thanks for doing it. I was talking about removing my name off the scope. This was in NO WAY DIRECTED TOWARDS YOU..... So please put it back up. If you want... sorry you took it the wrong way. I was talking about people that steal mods and put their own name in the mod in a text file and upload to filefont or some where and others think they created it. I know that is not the case with you.

Also, I have not heard any complaints regarding the scope it self other than people want a move able back ground. That would be near impossible because the coding move the image up to just above the water line. There for you can not see the inside of the sub. If I were to create a scope that is visable full screen all you would see is the sky and the sea and the boats. I don't understand why know one understands that. Do you really think only the viewable portion of the scope is rising??:rotfl:

Any how those that want to use it... cool and thanks for the congrats, those that don't want to, but want to complain... please..... try this you may like it >:damn:

[Kapt.Klaus]

I was wondering if there was a way to enable a vote on this post to ask yea or na on how the captains who used my scope like it overall?

[Capt. Shark Bait]

i find it far superior to stock:rock:
