I like to thank Gino den Ridder of the USS Cod Memorial for kindly providing reference material and his expertise.

The USS Cod is the only un-altered Gato class submarine in the world.
There are no holes cut out of the pressure hull for easy tourist-access, all the other museum boats in existance have this. Visitors have to climb down the same way as the crew did some 60 years ago. That makes Cod unique. What is also unique is that the boats inner spaces are 'open', no acrylic walls hindering the view. So one can actually sit in the wardroom, where sixty years ago the officers would sit. If you want to have a look and feel .... www.usscod.org (http://www.usscod.org/)

You can redistribute and/ or modify Submarine Instruments after your liking, just include some credit if you intend to include it in your project. Submarine Instruments was made in the hope that it will enhance the SH4 experience, but WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.

[FooFighters]

Hi-res is what will make this game superb :p

Fantastic mod !!!! :up:

p.s. Will this mod work with TM ?

[Bando]

Hi Oakgrooves,

Been buzy to import this wonderfull stuff to the "supermod" I've been making for myself. During this proces I noticed something odd.
The SI Interior kit installs to: data\textures\tnormal

I think it should be in : data\textures\tnormal\tex

Also, in the recognition mod, the sea folder should (imho) be in the data folder

Can you confirm??

[ae4rv]

Looks great - will be installing this weekend.

[OakGroove]

TY fellow Kaleun's - hope you enjoy it! :yep:

@ Bando,

Bummer..:oops: thanks for pointing out! I'm in the process of re-uploading the package. Unless confident with manual installation, i'd suggest everyone waiting for an updated link.

@ FooFighters
I'm not familiar with the latest Trigger Maru build (1.3?). No .cfg or .dat files were altered in SI - just textures. AFAIK TM incoorporates graphical mods, so there is a chance it will conflict.

@Captain Cox,
you probably noticed that i went for the Torpedo Room panel - I couldn't get the CT panel to look and work as intended. Did you have some success in the meantime?

[tater]

Is the recognition manual the same 512x256 that I am working with, or is it higher res? I'm having some issues with the graphics and higher res would make it easier (using real ONI graphics)

tater

[Jace11]

Superb work, though I knew it was coming ages ago....:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[OakGroove]

tater,
i'm using stock sized for recognitionmanual.dds (1024x1024) and *sil.dds (512x256). Just the rec manual flags are slightly larger than default (168x84 vs. 128x64).

[Sailor Steve]

Awesome Oakgroove, just awesome.:up: :up:

Been using your hudgauges since the moment you released it, this will find it's way into my must have folder.:up:

No doubt about it,........AWESOME:up: :up: :up:
His BordeInstrumente mod for SH3 is a legend. Every interior fix for that game is based on his fine work.

[tater]

Thanks. Cannot wait to get this installed. Woot!

tater

[Bando]

Well, Steve, I gotta tell you, I never played SH3. I did play SH1 however, long time ago. :cool:
Nowadays, I am not sailing the seas anymore, got a deskjob, there's more time for this kind of stuff. :yep:

What I want to say is this; The way most of you people talk about SH3 gives me the feeling I really missed something, to the point I want to purchase it. Maybe I eventually will. :know:

SH4 is a great sim in my view, despite the moaning and bitching of people around the forum. Playing this sim with the mods people make is even more so, so..........:)

.......Kudoos to all modders, and in this thread especially to Oakgrooves.....:up:

[WernerSobe]

outstanding. very nice mod. I love the periscope view optics.

[CaptainCox]

@Captain Cox,
you probably noticed that i went for the Torpedo Room panel - I couldn't get the CT panel to look and work as intended. Did you have some success in the meantime?Nope its a BEATCH! I tell ya. I just came home now and will check this beauty out ;) what I have seen on the pics this is as good as to what i was doing :p. I might fiddle with it a bit more, but its one of them where you do something one end and something else pops out the other.

Again respect for this mod man. King of the INSTRUMETS! I think we should call you from now on.

[Bando]

Kudoos to the king of the instruments:up: :up:

[mookiemookie]

This looks outstanding. Thanks for your work on this...will be installing when I finish my current patrol :up:

[NefariousKoel]

Outf$%*ingstanding!

This is goin' in when I get home.

[EAGLE_01]

Thank You for your work! Awesome mod. You mod guys ROCK!:rock:

[wetwarev7]

Great job! :up:

[Bear]

It really looks like you put a lot of work into it and it looks great. But, the download site was so slow, I couldn't get it downloaded. I felt like I was on the old phone line again (15 kps). If it can't be uploaded to some place faster. I will try again when I have more time. Looks Really Good From the Screenies..

Man - you're right about that - mine is crawling along at a whopping 19 Kbps (on a 6-meg connection) - I guess they want to give you plenty of time to look at all the naughty pictures :lol:

[AVGWarhawk]

These are very nice! Thanks for hard effort on this!

[WilhelmTell]

Sooooooo great ! :rock:
Really nice work. How long did that whole project take ?

[Von Manteuffel]

I think the term I'm searching for is "awe-inspiring"

Thank you for all your hard work.

[Rujoco]

@panthercules (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=217510) What naughty Pictures? That site must be using some type of activity based advertising, when I went to download my advertisements were all about cute and fluffy bunnies....oh wait!! you mean to tell me those weren't rabbits???? You right though the data rates are very slow here in the states.

@OakGroove Thanks for the mod. Wunderbar!

[Jmack]

i need help with this

im trying to install all off the mods in the zip file but they conflict with each others as well as with others i had before like krillers harbor and stuff and also with oaks gauges ...

should i ignore this ?

Great job!

Thanks.

Awesome job! :yep:

[EAGLE_01]

Ok, not trying to offend anyone, and I know I already posted what a sweet mod this is, but.....

Is that download site on a Dial-Up connection? Or, are there 76,320 people trying to d/l this mod at the same time?

If it would be alright with the mod's author, could someone please post it where it's accessible?

[longam]

Putting up on my site but will be a few, I am getting about 22kb. I think I’ll need to run some spyware program after that DL area, wow.

I’ll post back when ready.

[LukeFF]

OakGroove, this mod is a thing of beauty! I'd love to see you take this further by cleaning up all of the bridge watch and deck and AA gun textures. Have you thought about anything like this?

[cdrsubron7]

Bravo Zulu, OakGroove. I will be installing your mod tonight and look forward to using it. Again well done. :yep:

[ming]

Great mod! I think the intangible void that SHIV has had is starting to fill in well thanks to the mods that are coming out like this one! This really adds to the games atmosphere!

[Gino]

Great Job!

Thanks for letting me help you out, it was definitely worth the effort.

groetjes,

[fenian]

Great Work ! Just loaded it and the visuals are uh uhm sweet lord I want to have your child....!:rotfl: :o

[AVGWarhawk]

I download this mod and installed.......WOW:o what a HUGE difference. This mod is absolutely beautiful. Fantastic job and many thanks. All stations have taken on a new realistic life! Must have mod as far as I'm concerned.

Outstanding !!! :rock::up::up::up:
Many thanks for your work !!!

I've been waiting for this one. I really like the black menu bar. Outstanding work! :up:

Thanks

Patrolling with your instruments right now:rock:

[Q3ark]

Awsome mod. It adds so much to the immersion. Just one problem, if i change views (eg move to the periscope or bridge etc) this happens:

http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/9830/sh4img217200702136891cp6.jpg

Looks like they got some 60s era hippy types to do the interior decor:o. Not sure if this is directly related to this mod as all textures seem to become corrupted in this manner, even the sky. Don't think it's a hardware problem as it dosent happen in any other games. Runing SH4 v1.3 but it happens in all versions. My specs are:
Intel core 2 cpu @ 1.8ghz
2 gb ram
Nvidea geforce 7600gt with 256 mb ram and latest drivers
OS is windows vista fully updated.

[OakGroove]

I might fiddle with it a bit more, but its one of them where you do something one end and something else pops out the other.


:p
As per Gino's suggestion i tried giving the dive and rudder plane wheels a brass appearance ... problem is the according texture portion gets mapped throughout half the interior ... in this regard not much has changed since SH3. Using the same texture over and over might be economic, but disadvantageous to detail and realism.

Regardless, there's hope that one day we can launch our fish using a visually realistic and working representation of the CT panel, thanks to the efforts of many talented people here. ;)

Jmack,
if you installed a previous version of the orders bar gauges, it would be wise to deactivate it, as SI contains updated versions of these files. If installing the SI Sonar (Metric scale) after installing the SI Interior kit, you will also be notified. You can acknowledge the dialog. Why it conflicts with Kriller's mods is atm beyond my knowledge.

[OakGroove]

OakGroove, this mod is a thing of beauty! I'd love to see you take this further by cleaning up all of the bridge watch and deck and AA gun textures. Have you thought about anything like this?

Ty Luke,
currently i'm working on textures for MTW2, F4AF, a Flagpack and Sound Replacement for SH4 - so it's going to take a while, providing i get the reference material to start working from.

Did you try out different drivers? I'm not firm with Vista-SH4 compatibility, maybe it's an OS/Game issue?!

hi oak !

the specific file is noisestatic.dds but it doenst affect behaviour of game ... it just warns in jsgme

also are you considering adding the search pattern buttons to your mod ?

[CaptainCox]

I got the ok to add this to my Pulldown map mod/search pattern mod from OakGroove, but tonight I am JUST PLAYING this game (1.3) big time. I will up it in the morn. Cheers OakGroove, bloody fracking cool mod this, love it!, a true classic!

Excellent job, Oak Groove!!!
As always.
My gratitude and respect to you!

[RickC Sniper]

Thanks for this very detailed, good looking mod.

I'm having a conflict with the smaller chronometer mod when using this.

The 1.3 stock chronometer is ugly, especially how it contrasts with these vintage periscope and tbt instruments panels.

Can anyone please tell me how to shrink the stopwatch to 75% or recommend a modded stopwatch that works with this textures mod?

.....thanks in advance

Thanks OakGroove man, will try some older vid drivers when i get home tonight. Hope it works cos i am all out of ideas.

Good hunting:arrgh!:

[Alemap]

Hi

I tried to download the RAR ile this morning but the site kept saying that the file was not there...any suggestions ?

[Tofke]

WHAOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU great mod!!! :rock:

[flyingdane]

All I can say is WOW!! :rock:

[Bill Nichols]

Most excellent mod. I give it 9 out of 10. I would have given it 10 but the mod interferes with another favorite of mine, the hi-resolution map table. If the two could be combined, I would be in pigboat heaven!

:up:

[PULSEOX]

I love the mod-one thing I miss though is the different options in the menubar from TM. Like range and distance to end, weather, etc.
Is there a way to keep those settings but retain the black/red colors?

[kv29]

Oakgrove, tested your mod and it ROCKS beyond words, great work.

BUT there is a little mistake, both metric and imperial sonar textures are REVERSED. Imperial shows the correct range for metric, and metric for imperial.

[Probex]

If I may request and suggest that this mod be rehosted somewhere else, like Filefront.


The current transfer rate is simply less than pathetic.



S!

I posted an issue with this because I'm using the same card w/vista and still trying to find a combo that will stop this as far as settings go. If you find any answer let me know. A quickie fix is minimize and bring back up.

And this Mod is Just the polish on the graphics we needed, yea man!

Excellent Work!

This Mod Rocks:rock:

Thank you

[Fearless]

Sure does and is now integrated into my own personal mod. Saves having to enable all those multitude of great mods available out there already :cool:

thank you oak groove for your mods,you do awesome work,but im expierencing some CTD since i added this mod and anvarts interior periscope,i have additional mods im using as well.does any one know how i can target this problem of CTD im currently in my single player campaign and this can be very frusterating with these CTDs happening.

May want to host this at another site, tried to get this since it came out, really slow d\l, it locks up at about 9% completed.

Sorry for the complaint, but I want this one :yep:


RDP

[WWSandMan]

Is that download site on a Dial-Up connection? Or, are there 76,320 people trying to d/l this mod at the same time? ?

The slow downlaod speed probably has something to do with the soft core European porn pop-ups the "uploaded.to" site is tacking onto the files there. Which come up quite quickly and completely, while the download struggles along at something less than a 1989 2400 baud modem's speed.

However... through the efforts of the fans there are alternate download sites available sans "girls looking for dates". See links in the posts above for a proper download experience. Thank you folks!

And of course, a big thank you to Oak. This is a wonderful looking enhancement to the game!

[Mav87th]

An awesome mod you have made here.

Allthough i found a tinywiny bug... :)

The Repeter Compass in the big round table in the control room - its showing wrong bearings. fx. when heading 265°True the repeter shows 275° as your heading.... I think the outer band should be reciprocal - or turn the other way.

[melin71]

No, my pop us blocker wasn't effecting it. When I clicked download, a pop up for some sort of dating site came up. Oh well, I found another link to download it from in another post. Thanks. :)

it is a tarnished Copper color which was a common thing to see on a sub unless it got polished.

[Hawk_345]

I had downloaded this befor, but never tried it because i had to reformat the comp, does the mod decrease fps?

[leovampire]

like any high end texture work will. Hope you can run it as it does look fantastic.

[Hawk_345]

any idea how much it will drop?
i average about 37 fps and lower inside and 27fps outside, thats when in the open sea.

[leovampire]

for lower end PC's from what I tested slowing my own PC down to simulate lower end PC's

[Hawk_345]

thats too much for my pc, especially during combat, oh well i cant afford to loose that much, this makes me sad,:cry:

[leovampire]

if you are using T.M. 1.6 it already has it in the files.

[Hawk_345]

no im not, im using your ROW, or rather all of you who had a hand in making it.

[leovampire]

Just add our ROW mod on top of it after you install Duciums mod

[ATR-42]

This mod is unbelievable, i wish i started using it sooner. the orders bar is great and the torpedo interface was very nicely done.

where did you come up with the designs for the torpedo panel? is that what was on the gato that you visited?

nice job:up:

Has anyone found a way to change the "pink" colors on this mod?

specifically the area around the "quantity indicators"?

Uhm, do it yourself with a graphics editing program?

[ATR-42]

uhm, sounds simple enough, where can i find the file to edit? all the files in the mod are .dds files. I dont believe they can be simply edited with a graphics program....

Does anyone have an issue with missing dial faces and pointers at the conn tower helm station? Furthermore, any ideas how to fix it?

[Capt Jack Harkness]

Another thing I was wondering about: Is there is a way to make the attack scope image dimmer? The attack scopes naturally had smaller objective lenses that let in less light (and consequently reduced nighttime usability)...

Its a 1.4 bug there is a fix for it somewhere on this forum.

Ah, thanks!

[Fish40]

Could the fix be used with Oakgrooves instrument mod?

I believe the fix you see in the link is for the missing dial faces in some of the submarines. In the conning tower the dial faces are missing....apparently introduced with the new patch(1.4). This fix here has nothing to do with Oakgrooves mod.

Thanks AVG. Just so I got it right, if I use Oakgrooves mod, The CT dials should render OK?:-?

Got a fix for this if anyone is interested, thank Foo for it cause i got it from him :)

Thanks Foo!! :arrgh!:

This file will replace the command bar (bottom of screen) with one that doesnt have the "pink" background on the quantity indicators.

Just installed - the new look is fantastic

[SuperCavitation]

How do I "free look" in the interior of the sub?

[basilio]

Sorry if I resurrect this old post, but have a question.
Is this mod 1.5 compatible?

[AVGWarhawk]

It should work.

[fred8615]

Shift+F2 key.

....unfortunately NO; Oak Grooves excellent hud,optics,interior etc. do not work in V1.5 - I have tried everything short of directly asking for assistance here. Using his mods are the only way I can stand to play SH4 as the stock dials & order bar colors annoy me greatly. I started using Trigger Maru Overhaul so I could have Oak Grooves dials,optics,hud etc. but TMO changes too much in the gameplay area for my tastes so now I'm stuck hoping Oak Groove will whip out some mods for V1.5 thaty will give us the TMO LOOK w/o all the other changes so I can load up NSM4 & have the same gaming exp. I had with V1.4


But you know what they say, hope(wish) in one hand & *bleep* in the other & see which one fills up first! :rotfl:

[clayton]

That's why I stuck with 1.4...

[Brenjen]

That's why I stuck with 1.4...

I think the NSM4 / ROW PE / RFB / RSRD combo I've got installed right now is going to be great in V1.5 - you should give it a shot....I really like it & in a few days once I get used to it I think I may like it better than my V1.4 set-up that I was so comfortable with.:yep:

[clayton]

Let me know how it works out for you...
