@Anvart....man! you need a new rig. Looking at your pics, your running the game at a painfully low graphic setting... :(
A modder of your caliber deserves to see this game at its best...I wish I could do something for you there...

Thanks Anvart. :up: :rock:

[Ducimus]

I just have to say, Excellent job anvart. I didnt think it could be done. From what i was told, the periscope animations were missing from the dat file, hence i didnt think it could be done. (how can you initiate what your told is not there?) I suppose that was partially correct since the periscope handles don't come down, but that really is a MINOR issue. The important thing is the periscopes go up and down, good work!

[CaptainCox]

@The Devs... you realize that U dont need a hot fix now!...WOOOT!

Many thanks for this work.

You should use 7z archiver and unpack R&L_int_Periscopes_1.3.7z file into Mods folder of JSGME program.

[leovampire]

But I do have a question! Does this cover all the subs and is there a way to animate the zoom arms again as well? I know I am a pest LOL!

Just realized :o . I can just right click on the scopes in the conning tower and go to scope view DOH!...never thought of that before :p

I wish we could do that for the TBT on the bridge as well, like in SH3

[elanaiba]

That is one of the things that I have no idea why it does not work. The controls are there, but programming never got the time to look into it :(

[Anvart]

Guys, Attention please... Important...
I have forgotten about animation of peri's handles... (Ducimus's tip) ... :oops: :damn:

[III/JG26_Freddy]

Is it posible to add the sound periscope_UpDown.wav in the conning tower 3 D view , when the periscope rise and low ?
I dont understand why this sound plays only in the periscope view , but not in the conning tower ( tried to see in the Sh.sdl file but it s not here ...)
I d like to hear the periscope in this view too ....

Question: does anyone hear the periscope being lowered/raised while in interior view?

I can hear it in periscope view, but not in the 3D interior.

[III/JG26_Freddy]

Question: does anyone hear the periscope being lowered/raised while in interior view?

I can hear it in periscope view, but not in the 3D interior.
No sound in the 3D interior , it s the problem !
I think it s not realistic to put your eye on the scope when it is not up .... In the real life you have to wait the periscope is up , and after you can look with it ... The best should be to remove the possibility to look with the periscope when it is not entirely up , we should have to wait it is rised in the 3D interior , and after look with it cliking with the mouse .... And hear the sound too ! ...
I ve tried to find what to change for this sound , but no chance ...

[CaptainCox]

This is not completely true. I have seen US NAVY films from the time, where the skipper is in shallow waters, he is literally on hes knees peering in to the scope as they can't extend it fully (due to the shallow water ;) )
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/9362/capture222jd4.jpg
So to say you have to wait the periscope is upis not totally true.

[Elder-Pirate]

So to say you have to wait the periscope is upis not totally true.

Your right. Also I think some people do not know that you can raise/lower the scopes gradually ( start/stop wherever ) via the "insert/delete" ( Observation scope ) or "page up/page down" ( Attack scope ) compared to all the way up/down via the attack/observation icons.

[Canonicus]

You can..if you want to, cursor over the periscope as it rises until the text appears
and then ride up with it at the periscope camera position.

[III/JG26_Freddy]

Yes it s right ...
But in the simulation , put your eye on the scope when it is totaly low is not realistic too ....

[Ducimus]

Havent looked in this thread in awhile.

Holy smokes Anvart has done it again, now with periscope handles!

I think the man needs to have his forum title changed from "commadore" to "Hex master". Awesome work Anvart, i see i need to d/l your mod again, thank you for the hard work you put into it! :up:

WHY did you put it into sub files??? Only goes to SH4 MOD, then click on JSGME icon. RnL_int_Periscopes_1.3.7z is now shown left side under "Available Mods". Highlight it with mouse, click on "right arrow and RnL_int_Periscopes_1.3.7z is now listed under "Activated Mods". ONLY do this while in port and while NOT playing the game, you can put the mod in the Mod folder anytime just don't activate it until your out of game. Anvart's animated periscope mod is now activated. :up: :rock:

I just have to say, Excellent job anvart. I didnt think it could be done. From what i was told, the periscope animations were missing from the dat file, hence i didnt think it could be done. (how can you initiate what your told is not there?) I suppose that was partially correct since the periscope handles don't come down, but that really is a MINOR issue. The important thing is the periscopes go up and down, good work!

Ah So

Good luck.:up:

[Geoff then]

Hi Guys, help me please!
I just started playing SH4 a bit more and finally patched the game to 1.4 (better late than never) and now i come across the missing gauges struggle. As far as i worked out, i need a file from this "modification" here to fix it, but none of the links are working anymore, so is there any hope left for me?
Greetings from Captain s0d0:salute:

[Anvart]

Hey, s0d0m1z3r.
IIRC, this mod was made to correct the error of devs, who forgot to insert the periscope animation into 1.3 release...
In 1.4, 1.5 releases - all OK.
Try to reinstall the game.

Best Regards, Alex

[propbeanie]

Agreed. I remember those days... ah yesh... I was almost young even... sigh...

Anyway, s0d0m1z3r (very strange moniker to choose, btw), you description of the problem with this leads me to ask you the questions:

1. What folder do you have the game installed in?
2. Do you have a DVD version?

[Geoff then]

I installed the game (dvd version) like this "C:\YOLO\silenthunter4"
I installed the game and played it for testing. When i wanted to play it a bit more i looked around and found the 1.4 patch. Installed it to. Yes it fixed the animation of the periscopes, but the conning tower dials in the submarines tambor gar gato balao are now all black, read here: http://subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=125826
through various links i managed to find out, that this mod here, or actually only on file of it, was used to fix this dial problem.

OK, found a work around. i downloaded the old RnL Periscope mod. the mod that fixes the periscope problem in prior patched versions. anyway, i downloaded it, and pulled the USS_Gato_CT DAT file out of the R&L_int_Periscope_1.3/Data/Interior/NSS_Gato folder, and placed the downloaded file in the SHIV/Data/Interior/NSS_Gato folder.

so far my dials are back in the gato, gar, balao, and tambor. will report problems if, well, i mean when i find them. hope this helps for some that may have this lil' bug.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=118978 is the link to the file.

And this led me to this thread here.

[Geoff then]

Will it be possible, if i reinstall the game, take that file out of the stock game (1.3), then update it to 1.4 and replace that file?

[propbeanie]

You are good on your install directory choice, and "Yes", you could copy the file out of v1.3, install the v1.4 patch, copy that version of the file for "just in case", then put the v1.3 copy version and see what you get.

Have you looked into running the SH4.exe as administrator, or any of the emulation settings, all found on the SH4.exe Properties page? It could also be that the game is needing more RAM to run in, so try the LAA (Large Address Aware) that CapnScurvy talks about in his thread Windows10; Large Address Aware; SH4 Install (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2452635#post2452635). These are all things you should do anyway, and might be "the cure" you need also.

You might also consider buying the UBoat Missions Add-on, which would bring you up to v1.5, which also allows you to use more / newer versions of mods. If you have a Steam version of the game, you have to buy the Steam version of the Add-on. The Steam version of the Add-on only works with the Steam game. Otherwise, you can buy anybody's version for any other downloaded version (usually), or for a DVD version. Both Steam and Amazon are having "sales" right now, with $5 US the asking price at both locations. Go to Amazon through the Store link here (http://www.subsim.com/store.html) and the site gets a percentage of the sale for the referral.

[Geoff then]

Thanks for the fast reply. I have not yet looked into this, but will do so very soon. And yes i'm highly considering buying the add-on, german campain looks pretty nice!

Funny thing that Ubisoft can produce such great games, and yet make such a mess with compatibility and reliability.
But IMO all great games have big mistakes. It's almost like driving old italian sportscars.:D

I will go through the compatibility options now and see what happens. Then i will do the reinstallation and report if that helped. :Kaleun_Salute:

Edit: So that fix did not help at all, replacing the file with the old one also causes the periscope animation to disappear again. I hoped, the animation is done by another file. :(
Ran through all compatibility options with no noticable difference. I guess i really need that file from this ancient fix posted here. If anyone still has it, please report to me. I would be really grateful. :)
If there is no help left, I guess I just have to buy the addon.

You've got a v1.3 DVD disk, updating it to v1.4 with the patch from either here or Ubi? ... and you did a fresh re-install of the v1.3 from the disk, with no mods in it?... Did you install the DirectX 9 with it? Did you get the licensing thingie after re-installing and starting it the first time?

[Geoff then]

Yes, v1.3 disc, patch downloaded from ubisoft website, fresh reinstall with no mods. I havent gone into the modlist for this game, i wanted to play it vanilla until i get bored of it (happened very quick with sh5, i guess this vanilla could keep me busy for a much bigger amount of time). I also installed the dx stuff due to a recommendation i've read in the thread you posted. Problem still occurs, as described in the other threads. So, i believe, it must be the file, in 1.3 the persicope animation is missing and in 1.4 the dials are missing.(nss_gato_ct dat). And this license problem did not occur to me either. I'm doomed. :wah:

[propbeanie]

I'm wondering if the dials disappearing isn't a function of the shtinking licensing... Let's do this, starting in post #27 of Let's Install Linux on Moonlight's Spare Computer (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2441856#post2441856), on Page 2 Rockin Robbins installs SH4 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2442773#post2442773) and does a Ubi update on it (Uboats Add-on) on Page 3. Even though it's Ubuntu Linux, it's still running the same install. If you're wondering about all those Photobucket "Tombstones" in there, they just changed their licensing agreement, and have disallowed postings on other sites. Not cool. Anyway, make sure you're activating the game correctly. Oh! Are you using a copy of the DVD to do your install?... Use the original!... I don't think there's issues with my v1.3 disk, but my original game on disk from 2007 was ~very~ picky about having the original disk for installation. Once you get v1.4 to working correctly, it eliminates the disk requirement.

Anvart, a Russian modder and expert hex editor fixed the missing v1.4 gauges in the CT back in 2007.

Looks like he did some repair work on the sim file in the CR too.

He told me that his entire filefront-page isn't up anymore, so i don't think the file is available anymore. You still have it? If yes, could you upload it here? ;)

[propbeanie]

So, aanker, I remember the issue from the "good ole days" (hah!), but never experienced this myself on my computer. Were there some commonalities that anyone ever figured out the "why" some people had it, and others didn't? I got the "no eyes" just recently for the first time in my SH4 10+ year "career", and it was because of a festering mod soup situation... "George just lucky, I guess"...

[Geoff then]

Ok, now i solved this particular problem for me. Now though, i have a new one. ;)

[propbeanie]

What did you do then? Get the file from aanker? Or something else?

[Geoff then]

I just bought the add-on. Walked right past it today, and it was cheap. ;)

[propbeanie]

ee-Yup, that would fix some of the issues in v1.3 alright :yeah:

You'll like the mod selection better anyway.

If I still remember (???) something... I edited the geometry... the position of the nodes relative to each other in 3D Editor (3ds Max) too.

You were fixing bugs in SH4 everywhere, from the very early days and I thank you!

Another big fix you did was the Raising & lowering of the Aircraft radar that people can still learn how to do from your post - of course using S3D nowadays is easier, and your mod makes it easier still : )

I have your 1.4 mod fix for that too:
SDantenna_UpDown.7z if any 1.4 players need that (I'm pretty sure it also works in 1.5, IIRC.

Geoff then and anyone else:
I do have the 1.4 file DialsGatoCT_Fix_14.7z if anyone still needs it uploaded here, sorry, I've been gone for a few days. My recommendation however is for people to buy the 1.5 expansion 'U boat missions' like Geoff then did, or buy the complete 'Gold' edition. v1.5 also improves many things wrong in 1.4 on the US side as well including those missing CT gauges.

Happy Hunting!
