Better looking Instruments, and new Features inside!

[UPDATE]: New Interior Lights Version developed by Viper:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=163250

[English]

I present you now my new Work.
I have worked hard to get everything as realistic as we seen in "Das Boot"
and I hope you like it.

====================================
[U]Instructions:

Enable via JSGME, and edit the Menu.ini / Tweak Files, like described it in the 2 Text Files.

In the Alternate Folder you find a darker Version of the "Bordinstrumente 1.0" Mod,
with 5 new Dials.

====================================
Credits:

Big thanks goes to the Creator of the SH3 Mini Tweaker.
At DivingDuck who give's us the Chance to change the Lights, and ofcourse for his
fantastic OpenHatch Mod's.
At the Creator of the Fantastic Dials (25m, Um/min, depth rudder.)
whose name I unfortunately do not remember.
And of course to Commander Gizmo who tells me the Code for the Blue Redmask,
for the Attack Periscope.
And atleast to all Subsim member for the greatest sub Community on the Internet.

[Deutsch]

Ich präsentiere euch nun mein neuestes Werk.
Ich habe hart daran gearbeitet alles so nahe an "Das Boot" zu bekommen wie nur
möglich, und ich hoffe es gefällt euch.

====================================
Anweisung:

Die Mod mit JSGME aktivieren, und die Menu.ini / Tweak Files so editieren wie ich es in den
2 beiligenden Text Dateien beschrieben habe.

Im Alternate Order findet ihr noch eine Dunklere Version der "Bordinstrumente 1.0" Mod,
mit 5 neuen Anzeigen.

====================================

JSGME Ready!
It will probably also work with the upcoming OpenHatch Version, first install, than Tweaking. But I will carry out a detailed test and if necessary publish a new Version for the OpenHatch V.3.
Enjoy, any Questions, or Problems contact me. :arrgh!:

Looks good. Is it neccessary to install this mod only in port? I'm on patrol now and don't know if it's safe or not.

Rapt0r56

10-05-09, 11:41 AM

It is better you install them when you're back in the harbor. Since Tga. Files are included, I have at least one Graphic Error when I want change a Tga. File during a patrol. Better don't risk anything. :shucks:
What about the lighting, I do not know, but better not.

I have a dumb question.

Doe's this mod work with GWX3.0 ?

Rapt0r56

10-05-09, 03:10 PM

Yes probably with every Super Mod that supported the OpenHatch Mod, but i tested it with GWX 3.0

Some virus that act like checking you opening folders or archive's, maybe you get therefore a message from your virus program. On the mod, it should not lie.:know:

Nice work well done any chance we can host it on SHMF for you :salute:Of course SeaWolf, you can publish my Mods on your side. If you are planning to incorporate it in another Mod, only mention my name in the Credits. :shucks:

10-05-09, 07:55 PM

I can't get it to work. I followed the instructions as per the menu.ini and the SH3 Mini Tweaker files, but my boat's interior is still the same. And, I mean I followed all instructions. The lights, the halo's, and the bulbs were all changed. I have the open hatch mod v2 for all types. What gives?It should work. Does you using GWX or some other Super Mod? In some Super Mod's the lighting was changed, here now the best example: GWX OH V.2 Orange / Yellow Bulps are present. There your seen of course immediately the Variety. In Stock SH3 1.4 the lamps were nearly already looks like in my mod,
there you will notice not much different. Best you ever try to make Screenshots from before / after. Otherwise, everything is correct, the instructions should be clearly formulated.;)

By the way. Where did you get that square periscope? I think this is what your'e looking for:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=404
It's the Version 2.0

[Edit]: What you've seen in my Screen is my specially adapted Periscope view, with new Dials / Buttons and a slideout mod which I do believe is in the "Aces of the Deep Modpack" included.

Tomas23

10-05-09, 08:05 PM

I'm using GWX 3.0. Even the CT is red.

Thanks for the link.

Rapt0r56

10-06-09, 11:09 AM

sry, I have no idea what it should be otherwise, it works 100% with GWX if you stick to the instructions.

Thanks for the link.

Np. :salute:

Tomas23

10-06-09, 05:54 PM

Ok. In one of the folders that came with your mod, was the mini tweak. I ran setup and it installed to it's own folder. I then put the tweak files folder in the SH3 Mini Tweaker folder. Ran MT and opened the files mentioned in the read me file, (DD typeVII interior lights Oh v2 CR) blah, blah. won't work. Once before, I had just the interior lights w/o the OH mod and had it working. But, with the OH and the files that go with it, nada.

It's not the end of the world, I would just like to get it to work.

Once again, thanks for the link to the periscope. I like it. :up:

Rapt0r56

10-06-09, 06:57 PM

I'm really sorry, normally I will help until all problems solved, but here I do not really know further more, I have the mod extensively tested before release. I'm sorry.
(I hope you like the textures attached and you get to run the blue redmask.)
:cry::arrgh!:

Tomas23

10-06-09, 08:45 PM

I hope you like the textures attached and you get to run the blue redmask.

Well, I changed the menu.ini and at least my attack scope is blue in color.

Thanks for all your help.

11-15-09, 12:45 AM

Please Check out the first Post! I made an Update for the Low Contrast Instruments, with much more realistic look and new features inside the Sub. :up:

Weiss Pinguin

11-15-09, 03:21 AM

Looks fantastic, I always felt the interiors were kind of bright.

Edit: Nevermind, the bottom link worked after clicking 10 times :smug: Downloading now!

Edit again: Downloaded it, working on the Tweak parts now... Is it normal to get a 'Run-time error 380' when I try to load any of the ParticleGenerator N...Color IR_Halo_xx files?

Rapt0r56

11-15-09, 01:57 PM

Is it normal to get a 'Run-time error 380' when I try to load any of the ParticleGenerator N...Color IR_Halo_xx files?I'm getting this sometimes too, simply new loading, and it should be ok. You have to wait a few seconds till all entrys are up. :ping:

[Edit]: Edit: Nevermind, the bottom link worked after clicking 10 times :smug: Downloading now!Yes... Mediafire make's much more problems than i thought. :shucks: after endless hours of reuploading i was successful to upload part 4. of the DBSM Addon... I have been looking for a new Hoster, so I can offer my Mods on 2 Pages if one Page strikes. 1. the SilentHunter Mods-Forum from Carotio, and then...maybe Filefront. :salute:

Weiss Pinguin

11-15-09, 03:16 PM

Do I need to adjust the 'IR_Halo_x' settings as well? Because no matter how many times I try opening them SH3 Tweaker comes up with the run-time error and closes. I've gotten the rest of the files tweaked, it's just those particular ones that don't open.

Edit: I guess I might as well mention that sometimes when I open up one of the tweak files I get pop-ups saying "Unable to find IR_Halo_xx [there are pop-ups for each IR_Halo file], Bypassed but continuing..." followed by 'Check line xxx'

As they usually are related to the IR_halo files, and I can't access those, I'm guessing those are connected in some way?

Edit: Something else for you :doh: When I change the 'Locate alternator game folder' from my stock SH3 install (\SilenthunterIII) to to my GWX install (\Grey Wolves eXpansion), opening any of the ParticleGenerator categories from any of the tweak files produces the Run-time error. (Dunno if I'm supposed to change that setting or not, but oh well)

This is madness!

Anyways, sorry for all the trouble mate. :rotfl2:

First start the Tweaker and open the CR file of your boat you wish to change.
http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu301/Rapt0r56/1-1.jpg

Important!:Wait 1-2 minutes until it is complete loaded, maybe it sounds a bit silly, but from this youve got the Error.

You see it that it is fully charged when you can move the Mouse through the list without being stuck on the Selection!

http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu301/Rapt0r56/2.jpg
When you wait 'till its fully loaded without stucking, you should can open the IR files without any Errors.

When its not fully charged youve got an Error, or this:
(Entrys missing.)
http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu301/Rapt0r56/3.jpg

I hope i can help you with this. :ping:

Edit: Something else for you :doh: When I change the 'Locate alternator game folder' from my stock SH3 install (\SilenthunterIII) to to my GWX install (\Grey Wolves eXpansion), opening any of the ParticleGenerator categories from any of the tweak files produces the Run-time error. (Dunno if I'm supposed to change that setting or not, but oh well)I didn't have this problem, 'cause im useing GWX Install only, but i think you have to make an new Folder with Tweakfiles, and change the "Locate alternate game folder" also.
I hope it helps you, i do not have this problem, so i can not say much about this. :hmmm:

This is madness!
http://tanakamusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/this-is-madness.jpg
Anyways, sorry for all the trouble mate. :rotfl2:Right, this is MADNESS!!!:arrgh!: no problem Pinguin.

[Edit]: You also can see if it's fully charged when you minimize the Tweaker, and after... 1-2 minutes the Tweaker blinking in your Taskbar.

11-15-09, 05:18 PM

Ok, I decided to use Filefront as 2nd Hoster, just getting everything in order to upload. Soon a Filefront link added in my Signature :salute:

Weiss Pinguin

11-15-09, 06:55 PM

Bleh, still crashes, even after 5-10 minutes of loading. :hmmm: Would it be possible for me to use your tweak files if you sent them? Or how exactly does this all work?

After doing a quick test ingame with Stock, I found that the control room lights were adjusted (Looks awesome by the way!), but the radioroom is still just as bright. This is on the Type XXI, I haven't checked the rest.

Man, this'll look killer on my boats when I get to work out!

Rapt0r56

11-15-09, 07:05 PM

Sure, i'm now uploading my "Atmospheric Sound Package" on Filefront, so i'll have to upload it on Mediafire. Check out the link under my Signature, in a few minutes would it be aviable. :up:

[Edit]: here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?zmczkyduqon
(I don't know what Version you useing, so i packed all Versions in it, Settings not made!)

If it still not works, i can make all settings for you, and upload it again

Weiss Pinguin

11-15-09, 07:30 PM

Thanks, downloading these now. If I still can't get it working I'll let you know.

Edit: Looking at the little guide included inside DD_InteriorLights_Color_Tweakfiles, it says to copy the files into the TweakFiles folder... Does this mean I need to move the files out of the Interior_Lights_OH_V2 folder in order to adjust them properly? Or does it not matter?

Rapt0r56

11-15-09, 07:50 PM

This doesn't matter, you can copy the whole Folder

Weiss Pinguin

11-15-09, 08:08 PM

No go on the new files, still crashes when I try to look at the IR_Halo categories... Don't suppose I could get those adjusted files?

(I wonder if I'm the only here having these problems lol)

Rapt0r56

11-15-09, 08:19 PM

Ok, i will make the settings, and upload it later. :yep:

ähm... what version of these you useing?

StarLion45

11-15-09, 08:39 PM

:) Hi there Raptor :)

I have dowloaded and installed your mod :

" C:\\ Programfiles\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\Mods "

I copyed my active modlist and installed your mod here :

GWX 3 St Naz and Schluese
GWX - 16km Atmosphere
GWX - Captain America's Officer Icons
Low Contrast Instruments
GWX - Lite Harbor Traffic
CapZapEmblemsPack_Final
GWX3.0 Additional_Ammo
LifeBoats&Debris_v4
Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.3 for GWX3
BBWarspite
Community units
Visible U-Marker
IXD2 Spiker Skin

Will your mod work properly in this way :salute:

Weiss Pinguin

11-15-09, 08:49 PM

Ok, i will make the settings, and upload it later. :yep:

ähm... what version of these you useing?
If you mean version as in mod, then I'm using GWX 3.0 and Stock on 2 separate installs.

Otherwise I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean by version...

Rapt0r56

11-15-09, 09:21 PM

I mean if you useing the Open Hatch then i have to make another version, and on wich uboat you wanna have those lights?

[Edit]: i'm seeing, that it would not go when i send you the Tweak txt. files, i have to send my Interior files from the boat you wish, that makes it easier for you. So you need the GWX Interior files without OpenHatch, or with OH? :hmmm:
Oh, and when you useing the new OHv3.8 or below, there i have to wait till D realeased it final, it's still beta.

When DD released the final version of OH, and my knowledge of S3D is better then, i release a new Mod with the Interiorfiles that were already customize, so none work must done anymore.:shucks:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/images/icons/icon1.gif Will this work ?
:) Hi there Raptor :)

I have dowloaded and installed your mod :

" C:\\ Programfiles\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\Mods "

I copyed my active modlist and installed your mod here :Yes it should be, no other files were overwritten the tga's, but! make sure you d/l the Update for the "Low Contrast Instruments" Much more realistic looking and new features, you can overwrite the old Instruments, or delete the old folder, all files are included.
You can find the Update on the first Post of this Thread or at my Mod Pages under my Signature.:salute:

Weiss Pinguin

11-15-09, 11:09 PM

Ah, I see now. No, I'm not using Open hatch. And I'd love to get files for all the boats, but if not then the Type VII & IX would be totally excellent.

Thanks again mate, and again, sorry for the troubling you :)

Edit: Actually... If I'm not using OpenHatch, should I be tweaking files from the DD_Interior_Lights, and NOT from the DD_Interior_lights_OH_V2?

Rapt0r56

11-16-09, 12:03 AM

Edit: Actually... If I'm not using OpenHatch, should I be tweaking files from the DD_Interior_Lights, and NOT from the DD_Interior_lights_OH_V2? Right! :|\\

[Edit]: LOL, there you've got your Error. You get this Error 'cause the IR Files are from OH, the RR and CR fit together in one by the OH Versions, thats why you have to Mod 2 entrys. When you open the "DD_Interior_Lights" you have to mod the CR, RR, CT then you shouldn't get an error. :yeah:

Weiss Pinguin

11-16-09, 12:08 AM

lol, I feel so ridiculous now... :oops:

Although I notice the non-OH files don't have all the settings that the OH versions do... Guess I'll adjust them and see what pops out :88)

Rapt0r56

11-16-09, 12:09 AM

Although I notice the non-OH files don't have all the settings that the OH versions do... Guess I'll adjust them and see what pops out :88)Give me a moment, and i tell you what you have to mod...

[Edit]: Ok, choose the: DD_Interior_Lights_V2
So 'cause you not have activate the Open Hatch Mod, Choose your Sub.
For example: Type VII
You have to mod these Entrys:
- DD_TypeVII_Lights_CR_V2 - For Command Room
- DD_TypeVII_Lights_CT_V2 - For Conning Tower
- DD_TypeVII_Lights_RR_V2 - For Radio Room

Then you have to made the same Settings as in the Open Hatch Version explained in the readme, but only those who are in the list, so when the readme says Color IR halo (in the CR)
YOU have to do this in the RR section of the Tweak Files, because the IR halos are not in the CR section 'cause the Rooms are not connected. :doh::DL

In the "DD_Interior_Lights" you don't have to do the txt. files where OH v2 stands on the end.

Whoo it works! (On the Type VII atleast, haven't checked the rest yet) Thanks again for the help, I think from here I can sort out any problems that might pop up.

Looks great by the way, having a lot of dark places in the command room really adds to the claustrophobia. :yeah:

11-16-09, 05:33 PM

I don`t understand it anymore. I have also the same matter.
I also doesn`t use the oh mod.

Where can i find the DD_Interior_Lights_V2 ?

Rapt0r56

11-16-09, 06:10 PM

As I said this before Rapt0r, Your dials are very realistic and I noticed great job here.:rock: To be honest I dont' use VII at this time [XXI actually], but I like your dials and I will use them on my VII as soon as I finish current career.
Some of them also shall look's good in my XXI.:arrgh!:I can make a version for every Boat, this not the problem, not many work check out my hosts this evening. :up:
[Edit]: I will upload an Version for every Boat when i upload all my files on another Host. I'll check this later.:shucks:

Looks great by the way, having a lot of dark places in the command room really adds to the claustrophobia. :yeah:I am glad that you did it. :salute:

I still can't get the elusive Rapt0r's DBSM Addon.part4.rar - from either locationMh i can't get an connect to Filefront, and read that they close the Host on the 30. March... than i have to search another Host. You're right, i can't d/l the Part.4 from Mediafire no longer too. :nope: I will fix that as soon.

I don`t understand it anymore. I have also the same matter.
I also doesn`t use the oh mod.

Where can i find the DD_Interior_Lights_V2 ?Go to this site: http://www.divingduck.de/modsshiii.htm
than you search the List for "Tweak Files for all Types", there you click on "Interior Light Color" it brings you down to the d/l location, where you click on the File in the middle: "InteriorLights_Color_V2_Tweakfiles" this should work for you. :ping:

11-16-09, 07:56 PM

Thanks :salute:Mh, it's alreaday says some posts before, try to follow these Instructions, with the Screens and the Readme, and you should get your result. (make sure you have the right Version!)(V2 without OH, or with OH). But since more people asking bout an explain, i decided to make a Tutorial Video in near future. :up:

[Edit]: The new Instruments are done, i'm uploading and creating an new Thread for it, since i decided to make this as an own Mod.

12-11-09, 07:49 AM

@Raptor

I'm a bit confused between this thread and your instrument thread....are they the same mod ? Also, will you be releasing a version compatible with the latest Open Hatch mod as stated in first post....perhapps it already is compatible but i'm deep in building a new install so haven't tested yet.

Thanks, UG

Rapt0r56

12-11-09, 08:24 AM

Hey Uber Gruber,

I'm a bit confused between this thread and your instrument thread....are they the same mod ?No, first they were in the same Folder, but i decided to work on the Instruments as a seperate Mod, although i orientated myself by the Instruments and the inside visuality by the film 'Das Boot'.
The Point in the Interior Mod are the lightning and some smoke atmospheric.
The Instruments Mod based on Textures, Tga's.

Also, will you be releasing a version compatible with the latest Open Hatch mod as stated in first post....perhapps it already is compatible but i'm deep in building a new install so haven't tested yet.Yes, i will release an new Version of my 'Das Boot Interior Mod' but for the new version you don't have to use the MiniTweaker. Then she will be aviable in a Vanilla and and an OpenHatch version, that means i will mod the Interior files with S3D of every Boat so you only have to enable the Mod by JSGME. But that depends on the Final Version release of DD's OpenHatch Mod, it's still in progress.

Hope i solve all youre questions.:shucks:

two quick questions raptor:

1) once we have tweaked the files, what do we do with it? dont they have to it go into the data folder somewhere?

2) im getting this error when i attempt to open "DD_TypeVII_Interior_Lights_OH_V2_CR.txt" "out of string space"

thanks

Ah, my old Das Boot Interior, my Instruments Mod is now the unofficial newest of this here.:shucks: But sometime I wanted to do once again a new Version with tweaked Lights.

However, now to your Questions.
1) once we have tweaked the files, what do we do with it? dont they have to it go into the data folder somewhere?Nope, you don't have to give them a location, it is automatically taken over.

2) im getting this error when i attempt to open "DD_TypeVII_Interior_Lights_OH_V2_CR.txt" "out of string space"out of string space? never head of this Error, have you typed all correctly in?
Sometimes you've get an Error when you click too fast from Part to Part, you have to wait 1-2minutes until the program have loaded all compartments.
You also have to choose the right Version, the OH Tweaks are for the OH Mod, the 1.4 Tweaks are for...
:salute:

haha, lol, sorry to revive this thread but these lights look so cool! thanks for your reply:

yeah i did see the backup copy placed in the correct directory of the game data, thanks

but yeah i still get the out of string space when loading the CR file for type VII. Could you possibly send another version of that txt file? everything else is ready to go

im getting a blue periscope (from the menu.ini tweak) which is cool, but no other blue lightng

thanks

PS update: im almost certain that the error is because I cannot write anything to the type VII CR.dat file (out of string space) most likely because of the FM interior mod which replaced this CR.dat file with alot of new data. what do you think? that means that this das boot interior mod is incompatible with flakmonkeys new interior mod

:stare:
There you've got your Error, it is unfortunately not compatible with the new OH Versions higher then 2.0 or Flakmonkey Interiors, i dream to make a new Version, but at the moment there come's one Great Mod after another, and i don't want to make an Update based on a Beta...
Hope you understood.:O:

Hi !

I totally agree this ! :up::ping::up:

And I hope in a forthcoming Version of this MOD I don´t need the MiniTweaker to activate the MOD in my game, only activated with JSGME !

Is it so ?

Best regards,
Magic

Yep, i tweak the regular halos with S3D and you simply have to activate it via JSGME.

hi raptor, quick question: i did those tweaks to my conning tower lights and ambient, now i have blue bulbs and bluish lighting around the bulbs, but there still is the red overall ambient light in the conning tower like the rest of the boat. do you know what string is responsible for the red lighting in the conning tower? thanks alot Hey,

(I'ts taken out of the CT File, every Part of the Boat has it's own!)
Ambient Lights Color: <--- This is the Ambient Lightning you must change.

Ambient light Color DAY = 3D3F43 - Day/Night must be correctly Type in, i think they were ASCII Codes.
Ambient light Color NIGHT = 6A1500
Fog NearDistance = -2
Fog FarDistande = 20
Fog Color = 3C3C3C

CT_Bulb_01: <--- This is for every Bulb that you already changed.

Intensity Outer Rim = 0,2
Intensity Inner Rim = 1,5
Intensity Center = 15
Color Outer Rim = E6E6E6
Color Inner Rim = F0F0F0
Color Center = EBF7EF

Good old Times with the ASCII Codes, today there are new that i've never seen.
I known some of them while i programming some things with WINMX. :hmmm:

[Edit]: I search something in Wiki, and it's not a ASCII Code, (A)merican (S)tandard (C)ode for (I)nformation (I)nterchange, is written like 0x03... like the problem i had with my Dials.Cfg
Sorry for too many Input, i must clear this right now!

thanks alot for your reply. I tried all your settings, as well as trying much bluer colors for the ambient and bulbs, but I still get a red interior lighting, although the bulbs are bluish. It seems that the night red is coming from another file or something. no big deal
Hey,
The Red Ambient Light comes from the 'Ambient Lights Color'
in every part of the Boat, except when you've installed the OH Mod, then you just have to change the CR and CT.
Please Check every 'Ambient Lights Color'
Theres no Other Controll for the Ambient Light.

ah, thanks, it was the ambient setting in the CR file. Do you know when they used blue interior lights and when the red ones? In Das boot they seem to switch between red and blue. to bad we cannot switch the lights in game
Yup unfortunately it's not makeable even with mods.
They used the Blue lights mostly while Silent running, everything has to be quite, but sometimes they were switched on when they have to kill all lights, only necessary should be on. So i choose the Conning Tower, it's not shining out, but it is bright enough to see.
Red light was mostly switched on in CR at Night so that the Eyes could adjust to the Darkness outside.:shucks:

Do i need something else to add first before this mod works? I loaded it with LSH3 mod, adding your mod last but when im ingame there's no changes.

Edit: okay my bad i just read here i have to edit the menu file first and grab the open hatch mod.

Could someone make a tweak file for FM and DD's new Interior mod? Or does anyone know how to edit the bulb colors with S3D because I am having a bit of trouble with this.

Rapt0r- I also have some ambient night and bulb lighting/color values that worked well with each other if you'd like to see them. I can PM you the SH3tweaker values if you'd like.

You must open in S3D interior dat file of the submarine. Now, You must find halo of the bulb [on the 3d model this is that transparent square]
http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/3014/screenshot001hy.jpg
Now you must open particle generator sub node:

and click on the BitmabParticles:yep:
http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/3280/screenshot003hq.jpg
Now You must open first BitmapParticle[0]:
http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/8752/screenshot004ju.jpg
This is the color of the bulb. You must adjust also bitmap particle [1], and [2]:

Particle [2] - color of the bulb in the center.

Thanks. This is not so difficult as it look. S3D is a very usefull program, and don't need exterior tweak files. :salute:
And this is day and night color for the compartment, also in the Interior dat file of the submarine:

evan and raptor, do you think it would be possible in sh3 to make the red light "on" state bind-able to a remapped keyboard short cut. So, when going to battle station regardless of day or night we could switch to red lights like in real life? what is driving the lights to switch over at "night" maybe its possible to use this function?
Well, this probably will be very complicated, I don't think this is eaven possible.
Light changes day/night are hardcoded from what I know. I said this before.
Ability to switch beetween white, red and - blue light is perfect idea, but I don't think this is possible. Maybe You should ask super modders, like DD, Anvart, or Racerboy.:hmmm:

Many tried it with none success, i think it's now madeable.
