[REL/WIP] TMO19 interior 3d overhaul

[vickers03]

TMO 1.9/2.0 Interior 3d Overhaul


all edgy brass gauges smoothed out to a much rounder shape.
machines with black holes and no gauges brought back to life.
maps clickable, 3d torpedo launcher clickable (open tubes), periscope
more interactive (click shaft/handles to raise/lower),
crew more interactive, click planesmen to dive/surface, emergency orders, click 2nd sonar operator to follow nearest contact (which was his
job anyways)

Very nice!

[Bubblehead1980]

very nice vickers....

enable JSGME? What order?

I know it says for Gato but does this cover the Balao as well? Since they have the same interior...

[vickers03]

enable JSGME? What order?

balao- yes
jsgme - yes
order - last

[silent killer]

super capt will be waiting for the rest thank you:yeah::yeah::yeah:

[SteveUK]

Constantly amazed by the skill of all you modders and tweakers here, looking forward to my promotion thanks a lot :salute:

[Sailor Steve]

WOW! Good job!

[Nbjackso]

I agree, you do very nice work. Aircraft reflections is still my favorite.

slightly enhanced christmas tree

[Ducimus]

Now that is a pretty sweet looking Xmas tree. Overall your doing one heck of a job. Im Jealous! :O: I have one question. Are you really using interiors from 1.9 as a base? I'm curious because the before screenshots don't look like it at all. I know what i did for the interiors wasn't the greatest but it looked better then those before pics! :rotfl2:

[AVGWarhawk]

vickers!!!!!!! :rock::rock::rock:

[vickers03]

I have one question. Are you really using interiors from 1.9 as a base? I'm curious because the before screenshots don't look like it at all. I know what i did for the interiors wasn't the greatest but it looked better then those before pics!ah yes, not all pics where directly 1.9 but only because
i had already built it in and had no more before backups.
i'm changing the pics out, your work on the lights deserve a better comparison!

the overhaul is meant to be a base for a future TMO 2.0, if you like:hmmm:

[vickers03]

just a question about flood&vent valves,
they shouldn't be open while surfaced??:D

[arnahud2]

What a nice job, many thanks for you !!! :DL:DL

[Ducimus]

Heck yeah i like. What is there not to like? Frankly im REALLY REALLY impressed. (did i mention i was jealous? :O: )


just a question about flood&vent valves,
they shouldn't be open while surfaced?

You mean the levers the crewman is supposed to pull under the xmas tree? The levers are all independant and not tied to the model. So they could be animated. I've thought of experimenting in trying to do that, but never got around to it. offhand i don't think they remain in an open or closed state. At least, altough im not entirely sure about that. I know the main induction valve handle would be either open or shut. The main ballast tank vents i don't know. Id suspect they are moved only long enough to let in so much water and then closed again. I really don't know.

[vickers03]

You mean the levers the crewman is supposed to pull under the xmas tree?...good idea with the animated levers but i forgot
to say that i meant the flood&vent valve lights
on the right panel (indicator for m.b.t.),
currently they indicate all open when on surface.

[JREX53]

Vent valve lights should indicate closed when on the surface and after the sub has reached its operating depth. They should only be open during the dive process.

[Hitman]

Fantastic job! Any chance it might be also compatible with RFB? :D

[GOZO]

This just goes on-and on........!!!!:DL

SHIV is maturing even more!

Fantastic work Duci/Vickers!!!!!!!!! <Salute> :salute:

/OB

[Ducimus]

good idea with the animated levers but i forgot
to say that i meant the flood&vent valve lights
on the right panel (indicator for m.b.t.),

We could be limited by the controller. I haven't looked at this in awhile, but as i recall the controller was limited in scope. If i remember correctly, its surfaced or submerged, with nothing in between. So it's either Open, or closed. Go go gadget boolean values eh?

I just want to say, thank you for working on this. I started mucking about with interiors trying to isloate the cause of the "black crew bug" and while i think i almost have it nailed down (i have an idea whats causing it, i just have to repoduce it), i think i'll push that off on a back burner. If your working on this stuff, that free's me to look at some other things ive been putting off.

[vickers03]

We could be limited by the controller.
it may work with the state machine, hide/show
a different set of lights under certain conditions

I started mucking about with interiors trying to isloate the cause of the "black crew bug"
just think of the crew getting spilled with oil:DL

[vickers03]

updated: 6.12.09
-christmas tree lights corrected
-addded bumpmap for letters

[Bubblehead1980]

very nice vickers.Does the christmas tree "patch" include the first interior fix also? or do need to install this one after the first one, ie seperately?

For example:

TMO 1.9
TMO 1.9 interior_overhaul
TMO 1.9 christmas tree

?

Also, just tried to download this at filefront and it says file is not available..crap

i have just redone the textures, sometimes .dds format gives me pixel distortions:hmmm:
(it's up in a sec.)

no patches, my mods are always the whole package

[LukeFF]

Fantastic job! Any chance it might be also compatible with RFB? :D

I want to know this as well. ;)

[Armistead]

Great.......amazing. Can't wait to finish my career and move to 1.9

[Lt commander lare]

is there anyway to dive the boat by clicking the diving alarm on the bridge

lt commander lare

[Lt commander lare]

there is a problem with the link it wont download

lt commander lare

[vickers03]

Great.......amazing. Can't wait to finish my career and move to 1.9 i think you can just activate the mod even
with earlier TMO's, should not break the game.

is there anyway to dive the boat by clicking the diving alarm on the bridgeif you mean on the conning deck that would be cool
but i can't find a way to make objects clickable
in exterior.

there is a problem with the link it wont downloadlink is ok,
it just doesn't come up sometimes in filefront

[Lt commander lare]

can you upload the files to the subsim download section becuase i still cant get the file to download on filefront


lt commander lare

[Bubblehead1980]

whers the link to the christmas tree mod? no longer showing up in this thread.:damn:

[vickers03]

whers the link to the christmas tree mod? no longer showing up in this threadit's part of the interior overhaul, check first post
for the link.

can you upload the files to the subsim download section becuase i still cant get the file to download on filefront
uploading..

[Bubblehead1980]

Thanks.Must say, very nice work vickers, really adds to the interior, great job.Working on any other classes?

[vickers03]

ah, so you molded the two into one mod?
each boat will get the 3d overhaul and can
be downloaded separately, there will be no
patches.

[Lt commander lare]

let me know when its up and i will download it i cant wait to try it it looks so cool

lt commander lare

[vickers03]

et me know when its up and i will download it i cant wait to try it it looks so cool
subsim link is up.
do you have problems with all filefront links?

[Bubblehead1980]

One more time, i really love the work youve done vickers, esp on the christmas tree.Look forward to your other overhauls:salute: You plan to address the S boats as well?

[Lt commander lare]

no other problems with filefront files that i have downloaded and i downloaded your mod from the subsim servers and its incredible great job this is really fun to use


lt commander lare

[Armistead]

vickers, you have delivered some of the best mods around here...i use several,....

[skwasjer]

Nice job on the interior!

it may work with the state machine, hide/show

just think of the crew getting spilled with oil:DL

It's possible ;)

A proof of concept I made a long time ago:

ah yes i remember..
but what would be the state commands for this?
maybe you still have the interior file from back then?

[TopcatWA]

Great work. The realism is getting better as the game progresses.

[cgjimeneza]

you guys did it again!!!

Now I have to bend over and pick my jaw from the floor

I just had it reinstalled when I got caught by a minefield in TMO 1.9

now to see those instrument panels really alive...

who needs SH V

excelente!!!! :salute:

kudos to Vickers and Ducimus

[castorp345]

outstanding.
many thanks!

[sergei]

Beautiful work Vickers.
Looking forward to earning a Gato so I can enjoy these fine interiors!

[arnahud2]

@ Vickers 03

As i said before in this thread, you made a really beautiful work for Gato class.:up:

So, can we expect such a "cosmetic" job for the S class ?



Ar Nahud II Le Redoutable

[vickers03]

So, can we expect such a "cosmetic" job for the S class ?
hell yea but i can't find any reference material for the
sclass xmas:DL

[arnahud2]

hell yea but i can't find any reference material for the
sclass xmas:DL

Understand.

Will try to find that kind of material to help you, e.g. on Hnsa.org, but as i'm a little poor frenchy subsimmer, it would need some customs searchs :D on various WWII american submarines websites. I love that anyway.

Ar Nahud II

[Hitman]

Not the best picture, but you can see it here, above-left of the left and farthermost diving plane wheel:

http://www.navsource.org/archives/08/0811917.jpg

BTW, what about my question, later also asked by LukeFF? Any chances this is compatible with RFB or there will be a compatible version??

[vickers03]

Any chances this is compatible with RFB
already working on it:yep:

[Armistead]

will this work with tmo 1.7

[Rockin Robbins]

you guys did it again!!!

:yeah:

[Kaleun]

Hi,

Cracking work!, been running it on TMO1.9. I'm in the process of installing Lurker's Subron50 which uses the Gato exclusively, any chance this will work with it? (i think he's using an RFB based Gato)

Regards

Kaleun

[vickers03]

I'm in the process of installing Lurker's Subron50 which uses the Gato exclusively, any chance this will work with it?
can't say much about it, just try it:hmmm:

[Kaleun]

Will do! i report back any major difficulties.

[WarlordATF]

I'm using it with the stock game and have not run into any issues yet. I'm really looking forward to the other boats, this is incredible work! :yeah:

So like Vickers said, try it.

[Kaleun]

Just a headsup - This doesn't work with Subron50, you get no textures on the dials. Shame that because the Gato interior is looking a little bland!!!

[vickers03]

Just a headsup - This doesn't work with Subron50, you get no textures on the dials. Shame that because the Gato interior is looking a little bland!!!
copy the following files from TMO

into ..Data\Textures\TNormal\tex
and ..Data\Textures\TLowRes\tex

Gato_Gauges_01.dds
Gato_Gauges_02.dds
Gato_Gauges_ct.dds

also applies to use with stock.

[Kaleun]

Awesome, i now just need to find the textures for the Conning tower alarm buttons that Ducimus added with TMO and they are not in the stock tower although they still work.

[vickers03]

updated 26.12.09
-conning tower overhaul
-now stock/GFO compatible

[Kaleun]

Great work on therupdate, although the .7z files will not uncompress, 7zip tells me it's an unsupported compression type!! any ideas??

Thanks in advnace

Kaleun

[vickers03]

sorry, i uploaded a 7zip which was done
with the latest 7zip beta and a compression
method which is not backwards compatible,
i didn't know.
new working file is up in few seconds..

[arnahud2]

Hi, folks !

@ Vickers : Approximatively 4 hours of "instensive" searchs about S-Class Xmas tree provides no results...I'm so astonished as S-Class "technolgy" couldn't be always classified today...So i found it's very curious that there are such poorly materials about S-Class Xmas tree. But I will try others searchs.
Maybe CIA prevents me to do such searchs, as i live near Paris, France... :O::O:

Also, many thanks for 12-26-09 updateded interior Gato !

Hope your guessed S-Class Xmas tree will be as nice as Gato's X-trees !

But i'm still in searchs for the real one, as i know it would be a great one in SH4, with your wonderful "cosmetic" jobs.

As you know (i guess, lol !), S-class is one of my favourites subs...as VIIC/41 and XXI ;);)

[cgjimeneza]

how do I get the camera to move in TMO1.9 control room (F2)

it moves freely in the conning tower but not in conn

ideas?

[vickers03]

how do I get the camera to move in TMO1.9 control room (F2)
are you using stock/GFO? i've not changed the cameras.

[Canonicus]

Thanks so much for the excellent work you've done...
Really adds just the right touches!

Look forward to more! :yep:

Cheers!

[cgjimeneza]

are you using stock/GFO? i've not changed the cameras.

my mistake, I installed on our campaing modified install of 1.7+beta.

mod works ok in tmo 1.9

now I must move my radio stations to TMO1.9

[Nbjackso]

With this latest version of the interior update, I feel like I'm playing "Guess the click-able items game". I found the fire extinguisher/damage control screen in the CT by accident. Now I'm afraid to click the fire hose for fear of getting soaked. :haha: Vickers, you are truly a master modder, and look forward to additional updates.

[Rip]

Vent valve lights should indicate closed when on the surface and after the sub has reached its operating depth. They should only be open during the dive process.

Unless you are on Dick O'Kanes boat who liked leaving them open. I've read that the Squadron Commander ordered them closed during a ride and O'Kane ordered them reopened and made it quite clear that Tang was his boat and he would choose how it operates.

That is the type of Captain I would like to be!

[vickers03]

@arnahud2
you have PM:03: and a special link

[vickers03]

got the porpoise ready.

includes all overhaul elements as seen in the gato and
added some black instrument panels modeled from
real life pics so it doesn't get boring.

Vickers - you have outdone yourself. That PORPOISE screenshot is amazing!

[Wilcke]

Happy New Years, well done and thanks! Superb work!

[keltos01]

cool !! dl now

[WarlordATF]

WOW! Thank You! The Uss Shark SS-174 (Porpoise/Shark Class depending on the source) is my weapon of choice, can't wait to try the new interior!

DLing now!

EDIT: Just took a quick tour, AMAZING JOB!!!! I Really like the black background at the dive station, Very accurate from the pics i've seen and the Radio and Maps will make my future war patrols alot more fun. THANK YOU AGAIN and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

[arnahud2]

@arnahud2
you have PM:03: and a special link

Yes, i read it yesterday, and send you a message in return.

Two days after downloded the file you linked me by PM, i don't notice something wrong yet.

Maybe, as i saw in a pre-WWII control room, periscope are raised or lowered by chains (as a bicycle, i don't know the proper american word). Later periscopes are moved by ropes. But as i said before, i'm not sure.:hmmm:

Very nice work you did for the Porpoise class !! Awesome:DL:DL

Many many thanks, Vickers03

Ar Nahud II

[arnahud2]

@Vickers 03

Here is the link for a US Navy picture from 1925. As you can see, periscopes are raised by chains : http://www.navsource.org/archives/08/0815606.jpg

Could it be difficult to put them in your futur project, for more accuracy ?:yep::yep:
Many details could be interesting ?

[sergei]

Beautiful work again Vickers.
Early war if I don't start in an S Boat I'll pick a porpoise. I like starting in the least capable boat then working my way up, so this mod is very much appreciated.
One question, if I have read this correctly the interior is for stock. Is there a TMO version planned?

EDIT. Sorry, I've just read the actual filename and realise this is for TMO. Good stuff. I'm off to try this out now. Good work

[jrescalante]

Great work on the Porpoise! I had been awaken several times during the night and couldn't go back to sleep, so I checked into the community to do some reading in hopes that it would help me get back to sleep. :zzz: Boy was that a mistake! I just had to D/L and install this to see for myself.

I originally bought SH4 (Gold Edition) as a xmas gift for a colleague at work & decided to get one for myself since it was only $6 at Big Lots. I enjoyed the game in its stock version, but this community & those of you whom I will refer to as "The Mod Squad", contribute to my current addiction of scouring the forums for the mods and tutorials that continously elevate this sim from one level to the next. Thanks for all of your efforts! :salute:

Since he had been away during the holiday break, my colleague had not yet loaded SH4. I informed him of the community and all of the great mods that you all have contributed and it was all I could do to keep him at work the entire day. He can't wait to immerse himself! :o

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!:yeah:

[vickers03]

thanks man, everytime i can't sleep i do mods like this:DL

[Armistead]

Vickers...you should be put in the hall of fame for your mods. You've made out game almost real with all your work...

So Thanks.....I know you've made me enjoy the game so much more.

[Bubblehead1980]

I just love the interior work you have done, esp the more realistic xmas tree.

BTW, any plans to make where the entire board is green once under water? Think I sent you a PM about it.Not a huge deal, just curious.

[vickers03]

BTW, any plans to make where the entire board is green once under water? Think I sent you a PM about it.Not a huge deal, just curious.check the porpoise;) it's not the perfect way, but it has
a green board when submerged.

you should be put in the hall of fame for your mods.
not enough contributions:cry::DL

[HMCS]

What's with the forward officer's mess and radio room? That was quite a pleasant surprise, even though it was all darkened. WIP?

Out-freakin'-standing, Vickers. Keep up the good work!

[vickers03]

What's with the forward officer's mess and radio room? That was quite a pleasant surprise, even though it was all darkened. WIP?
that's part of TMO1.9 and completely Ducimus' work.
it only works in TMO1.9 as it uses additional textures
done by Ducimus.

[Bubblehead1980]

does the porpoise overhaul include the Gato also? or do need to enable them both?

[vickers03]

does the porpoise overhaul include the Gato also? or do need to enable them both?
every boat is stand-alone

[Bubblehead1980]

just tested the porpoise out, very nice job vickers, esp like the new green board.Will you upgrade the Gato so it has an all green board? outstanding work.

[vickers03]

porpoise update:

Since you do such a marvelous job, i stopped playing "war" with my subs 'cause... i spent all my time walking through the boat, looking at many details, like in museum, lol :yeah::yeah:

These are more accurate than the reals ones :D !!!

thanks,

Ar Nahud II

[LukeFF]

Excellent work. :cool:

[WarlordATF]

I just tried the updated porpoise interior. Great Job! It just keeps getting better! Maybe its just me, but the little details really mean alot. The text on the dive station,the dive angle indicators and the animated coffee cup and clipboard blew me away. You are really improving this game for alot of people, Thank You! :salute:

i do have a few minor requests, could you work your magic on the captains cabin and radio room? I would like to see the captains logbook in the captains cabin actually bring up the log and in the radio room could you make it so when you click the gramophone it brings it up?

In any case, Thanks Again, can't wait to see what you come up with next!:rock:

Man, that is .. just.. impressive. I don't know what inspired this project, but man im impressed. Makes my past efforts in the interior look like a kids finger painting.

your hard work on the interactive boat controls are not
forgotten:yep:

[Bubblehead1980]

lol ducimus, do not discount your work sir, was impressive itself.
Vickers, love the new details on Gato and Porpoise.Plans to overhaul the other sub interiors as well?

[Ducimus]

vickers03,

I find myself contemplating putting a little bit more polish on TMO in the future. If and when i do (won't be for awhile.. were talking on the period of a few months from now), i'd like to include your interior overhauls if your ok with that?

[WarlordATF]

Just wanted to drop in and thank you again for these great mods! I have really been enjoying both interiors and thanks for fixing the captains cabin logbook and gramophone!

[vickers03]

I find myself contemplating putting a little bit more polish on TMO in the future. If and when i do (won't be for awhile.. were talking on the period of a few months from now), i'd like to include your interior overhauls if your ok with that?of course, feel free to add/change anything you like.

[Kaleun]

Vickers,

I think i can safely say "you rock!!!" and this is quality work, a small question though;

Is there any plans for an upgrade to the Salmon/Sargo Class interiors?

As i usually play campaigns (or at least start in one!)

Regards

Kaleun

[vickers03]

Is there any plans for an upgrade to the Salmon/Sargo Class interiors?
:yep:

[Ducimus]

of course, feel free to add/change anything you like.

Awesome, thank you! I'll wait until your done though. Gives me ample time to work on other minor immersion stuff that i didn't have time for in the past. BTW,, i started modding again. It's all your fault, you inspired me! Since you've gone into such great detail on the interior, ive started working on crew graphs again. Starting with the helmsman, so they properly repeat the order as they really would have in real life.

[vickers03]

ive started working on crew graphs again. Starting with the helmsman, so they properly repeat the order as they really would have in real life.LOL! check my download section, i did the same thing
a month ago:O: but nice (and hard) work:woot:
(i'm glad you volunteered for it)

[Ducimus]

(i'm glad you volunteered for it)

I did? How far along are you? Should i toss in the towel, or work on something other then the helmsman?

sclass and salmon is under construction

[Bubblehead1980]

Outstanding work Vickers, USS Drum is only about an hour from where I live, nice touch.

Something I have been wondering, is the placement of the ladder in the Gato control room incorrect in the game? I noticed on my visits and in the pictures that the ladder is not behind the chart/compass table as is in the game, but to the side.Was this true for all Gato boats or perhaps since the Drum had a Balao conning tower installed after a severe depth charging wrecked the other, its ladder is placed differently than other Gatos?

Just wondering if the devs decided to put the Gato's ladder in wrong place or if they were just following the historical plans.

Anyone?

[sergei]

sclass and salmon is under construction

Good news. Thanks for the quick answer :DL

[Q3ark]

This is beautiful work, realy adds to the immersion. I appear to be having a problem with the black textures for the panels and behind the dials on the dive station, they are still grey. All the other textures seem to be there, any thoughts?

Dunno Vickers for Neither 7z nor WinnRAR would open it up.

Below is a Readme for WinnRAR and if you will read four features down ( Read down four * ) and at the very end of this feature you will see that WinnRAR will open up 7Z packs. But I tried it your way and 7Z would not open it either. I ran an antivirus on it but all was clear.

So for the last three hours in about 20 minute intervals I've been trying to D/L and now FileFront ( or the net ) wants to screw up like this ( funny I never left the internet ):

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/oleman/Screwedupmess.jpg

I'm giving up on this one for awhile and forgetting FileFront before my blood pressure heads for the moon.

Since then I've D/L one of websters Mods and WinRAR opened it up perfect.
Up until awhile ago I've had no probs with 7Z packs opening up with WinRAR so go figure.

But one way or the other in the very near future I'll D/L your interior 3D Gato overhaul.

Some terrific work on your part.:up:

[vickers03]

maybe you could try a different browser

[Q3ark]

Filefront has been runing like crap this weekend, took me three attempts to download the porpoise update. It gives you a download complete message, even though you have only got 15MB downloaded. The Porpoise is 48.9MB in total. This may be what is happening to elder_pirate, as you cannot unzip a partially downloaded file.

[vickers03]

maybe a download manager could help
to resume if the download stops.

[Elder-Pirate]

D/L now but with a crappy 128KB sec., D/L box shows it to be 41.2MB at full D/L. We'll see in a few min.

AH take a good look at that sub on my desktop ( USS Gudgeon ) which is a GAR series and one I have now in Jan.1942.
Don't think mod will work on this beast. So I was thinking it had to be installed at port, but maybe not. Anyway I want it already installed in JSGME for when I do have the GATO series. Or do you have to install/uninstall at each type series providing you have the interior mods for each series that Vickers has made?

[Q3ark]

The mod will work fine with the Gar. All the big boats, by this I mean the boats with six tubes at the front, use the same controll room and conning tower sets. So if you enable this mod it will show up in your Tambor, Gar, Balao etc.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/oleman/worthy1.gif I humbly beg your pardon sir. I just thought that it being Vickers "TM019 interior3d GATO overhaul" everything in it was his. Again I apologize.:oops:
But ya gotta admit Vickers does a good overhaul on a Sub. :yeah:

I'm just running SHIV 1.5 again after a 8 month SHIV vacation ( was deleted off disc ). The boat I'm on now is the USS Gudgeon ( GAR series 1941 ). I have about 19 small mods aboard but on sea I'm running barefoot and will remain that way until I either shake the Admirals hand on or after Aug. 1945 or the Japanese say SAYANARA to me with one of their big grins.

But I promise you I will take note on TMO after I get my medals or someone pulls that bayonet out of my back. :D


BTW Vickers was this gauge in the vanilla SHIV ver? Anyway terrific job. :salute:

Nice work as always vickers, Sargo based on a gato class boat though? curious
since the gatos are the only ones still alive to get
good pics from, they're all fleetboats.

[aanker]

... they're all fleetboats.
Technically from my understanding they are all fleet boats even going back to the P-class. The P-class had a welded hull and even had AC. Certainly the SALMON / SARGO classes are fleetboats.

This interior work is outstanding Vickers.

Happy Hunting!

Art

[Q3ark]

Nice work Vickers, been waiting for this one. Sargo's are my favorite boats :arrgh!:

[Bubblehead1980]

Porpoise classes had riveted hulls actually.I learned this when I read the book "Luck of the Draw" by Captain Kenneth Ruiz.Ruiz served aboard the aging USS Pollack in 1943.Thinking Sargo and Salmons were prob riveted also because I believe Ruiz said the Gato's were the first fleetboats to have welded hulls, thus the reason their test depths were 300 feet instead of 250 feet like previous classes.

[vickers03]

I'm sure there were still some rivets however a quick Google search shows many sources to back up welded construction for the P-class - and at the top of my "personal list" is Hondo's "Valor At Sea" website that jumped out at me (who I consider a well researched and reliable source)

From: http://www.valoratsea.com/boats2.htm
.... The P-Class submarines, first commissioned in 1933, marked a tremendous improvement over the previous candidates. With a forward speed of 19 knots and a range of 10,000 miles. it was not nearly perfect, but it was very close. The technique of welded construction, first seen to a lesser degree in the C's, was now to be fully implemented in the P-Class.....

Happy Hunting!

Oop's - sorry Vickers, - I know this is an interiors topic but I have carefully looked at your detailed interiors and thought I saw a bead near one of the bulkheads.....

[LukeFF]

The thing to keep in mind with SH4's Porpoise class is that, in reality, there were three sort of sub-classes in this group:


SS-172 and SS-173, the 'literal' Porpoise class, were an enlargement of the Cachalot class and the last American submarines with a full double hull. Both boats were constructed by Portsmouth. These two were riveted.
SS-174 and SS-175 were the Shark class boats, built by Groton. These boats were all-welded and featured a partial double hull.
SS-176-181, the Perch class, were fiscal year 1935 boats (the above two classes were FY 1934). The three Groton-built boats were all welded, while the others (built by Portsmouth and Mare Island) were partly-riveted. They were also partial double-hulled boats.

Who said US submarine design couldn't be complicated? :D

BTW, the above info comes from Register of Ships of the U.S. Navy, 1775-1990.

[Bubblehead1980]

Well okay I was partially correct about the riveting.Ruiz said the pollack was riveted so figured he would know what he was talking about since he went on many war patrols.Yes sounds like sub construction was complicated.Pollack was SS -180 and built at Portsmouth I believe. Thanks for clearing it up though.

I THINK he was having trouble finding good pics for reference on the S Class. :06:

The Gato,Porpoise and Salmon are all amazing, the details are very well done. I couldn't imagine going back to stock, These are so much better! :yep:

They also work with almost any install, which is great. :up:

I hope once the S Class is complete, Vickers brings them all to the same level ( :ping: Phono and Captains Log in Porpoise Please!:salute: ) and releases them as a single megapack. Might be a bigger download, but once you see one of them you will want them all anyway. :rotfl2:

I don't know how much time it takes to do an interior upgrade, but i can tell the accuracy was well researched. The photos i have compaired have been dead on or as close as the game would allow. Alot of homework was done to make these interiors right. Nice Job and...

THANK YOU VICKERS! :rock:

[gdc3man]

Hello, All

I also have to say, great job! on these upgrades Vickers, I cant imagine having to go back to stock.....LOL, I was prepped to buy SH5 off of direct2drive, but from what I have read on the forums I will wait till the price comes down from 60.00 dollars for gold edition, and wait for a major
patch to come out...I am so glad I waited :yep: ubi should be :oops: enough said !! anyway, thanks for your hard work and dedication to SH4, with which I will be sticking with for a while..... :ping:

[GlobalExplorer]

VICKERS, I installed your new interiors and they look great.

There is however one issue I have. Your mod also adds a new compartment (interior aft, see 1st image), but it is almost completely dark inside, although there seem to be illumination sources (2nd image). Is this normal? Or what did I do wrong?

[ I ran this non SH4 UBM 1.5, NO other mods installed. ]

@GlobalExplorer
the additional room belongs to TMO and is all
Ducimus' work.
it only shows up when TMO is installed.

[ShadowWolf Kell]

Is there any actual difference between the Gato, Balao and the Tench?

I realize the game considers them all to use the same interior, but if they're different I could see having an interior we can toggle for each. ;)

Really been loving them thus far.

[aanker]

At one time I thought there was and thought it was important mostly because of the strength of the hull. I thought there should be a separate BALAO class interior with a 600' gauge keeping the 450' gauge for the TAMBOR, GAR, & GATO, classes. However since then I have seen RW pics of a BALAO with a 450' gauge and others with a 600' gauge - also vice-versa with the GATO and a 600' depth gauge.

So, whatever they decide to do - especially Vickers, is outstanding work and I sure do like it.

Happy Hunting!

More like a hack job. For someone with no 3D modeling skills, it half bad. I dare say, creative even. But.. it's a hack job none the less, i admit that willingly. Did the best i could with what skills and resources i have.

Not much is standard on fleet boats, is it? The more one reads up, the more one sees various non standard modifcations introduced on the part of the skipper, crew, or dock yard workers themselves.


edit:

BTW, vickers03,

How's the S boat interior coming? I figure it's quite noticable i put very little previous effort into it. So i imagine thats slowing you down. When working on interiors, i always started with the Gato and worked my way down. By the time i got to the S boat, i ran outta gas.

[vickers03]

sclass is slowly coming together with some added
instruments and details like the peri chain,

So far very impressed with these. Keep up the great work Vickers!

Patience Carlos, never, never rush an artist while they are at work!

Some people exercise their biceps, some their triceps, others jog. I exercise my patience..... lol. (this is intended as all in 'good humor' ;-)

The link on the front page says this is a SH5 interior overhaul

[Elder-Pirate]

OH Onkel Neal, we are the guys with the white hats remember. You know, the boats with USS on them. :DL

[WarlordATF]

I picked up a German prisoner the other night. I asked him why he was floating out in the middle of nowhere and he mumbled something about having to abandon ship because the server crashed, whatever that means. :har:

[Onkel Neal]

Ja ja, my mistake, sorry :)

[arnahud2]

The link on the front page says this is a SH5 interior overhaul

Yep, it is well known that Vickers03 use to work on US Subs Xmas trees for SH5 U-boat !!! :har:

I really expect that Vickers03 never saw this "fake" news on subsim frontpage...

Who is the responsible ? He might be "pendu haut et court" (high and short hang - gibbet - an old french navy sentence for outlaw sailors)

looks bloody good thanks m8:up::up:

Constantly amazed at the skill and more especially, the generosity of the folks who inhabit these boards.

Awesome work on the mod! :yeah: The interiors are amazing now!

A huge thank you to all the mod makers. You guys put your hearts into it and it really shows. Ya'll have taken a good sim and turned it into a great one! :D Again a big THANK YOU! :salute:

[Chuck Belov]

Thanks for the hard work, the interiors look really brilliant! :yeah:

Just one question, apologies if somebody has already asked this and I’ve missed it - Can multiple interiors be activated simultaneously in JSGME e.g.

TMO19_interior3d_PORPOISE_overhaul and TMO19_interior3d_SCLASS_overhaul,

When I try to do so I always receive to the following: ‘…dds has already been altered by the "TMO19_interior3d_PORPOISE_overhaul" mod.’ – so does activating another a second interior remove the gauges altered by the previous one?

[vickers03]

Can multiple interiors be activated simultaneously in JSGME e.g.
yes.
all interiors have the basic textures to work
as stand-alone, no problem with overwriting.

[Chuck Belov]

That's great - thanks again! :salute:

[ozgurak87]

I have not tried these new interiors with RFB 2.0 but i'm assuming they're not compatible. In that case is there going to be a RFB 2.0 compatible version to make us :rock::rock::rock:?

[vickers03]

In that case is there going to be a RFB 2.0 compatible version to make usnot really compatible, crew setup is different, maybe in the future.
the enhanced gato is already included in RFB2.

[asop81]

Thank you this mod is awesome!!!!!!!:D

[Lionfish298]

Question: Are you only supposed to enable one of the interiors at a time based on what class you're going to be playing, or can you enable all of them? I ask because I've had a Gato control room in an S-boat.

[vickers03]

that's not possible, maybe you had the s42 which has
a different interior than the s18.
enabling all should be no problem.

[Bubblehead1980]

do you know if ducimus included the S class interior in TMO 2.0 or need to load it up myself? Also, work with TMO 2.0? since it was made for 1.9

[vickers03]

do you know if ducimus included the S class interior in TMO 2.0 or need to load it up myself?
it's there but the switch from s18 to s42 interior is not in.
i forgot to tell ducimus about the latest versions.

Also, work with TMO 2.0? since it was made for 1.9
no, it was made for TMO 2.0:DL

[Bubblehead1980]

so i assume enable s class overhaul after TMO 2.0?

[ichso]

This is not really RFB compatible, is it ? It works just fine for an S-Class but when switching to the sonar station it is like standing in a very dark room. Wrong camera position or something.

[vickers03]

no but could it be that you accidentally clicked the officers quarters next to the sonar station?
that causes a black room in non-TMO setups.

[razark]

What are the chances of these interiors and the now resurrected Officers' Quarters project playing nicely together?

[vickers03]

What are the chances of these interiors and the now resurrected Officers' Quarters project playing nicely together? for stock/GFO - i think it will happen if the captain agrees.
TMO will be updated by the captain as i read recently.

[razark]

Excellent. I'm not sure I'd be able to decide between the two if I had to make a choice.

[vickers03]

thinking about it, there probably is no need
for an additional stock version as the TMO
would work too.

[nycoroner05]

Can't find that screen. Would appreciate any help on the gato class.

[Bubblehead1980]

what are the differences between S-18 and S-42 class interiors ?

[Bubblehead1980]

vickers, would you consider doing an overhaul for balao tench only so they differ from the Gato? Also, do you know anyone ever figure out how to move the ladder in gato to be behind the planesman instead of behind the diving officer? Every gato i've been on or see pics of has ladder behind the dive plan stations.Thanks in advances.

[vickers03]

vickers, would you consider doing an overhaul for balao tench only so they differ from the Gato?
download the uss drum version, it has different interiors for gato/balao.

[Bubblehead1980]

well i think ducimus used the uss drum version in TMO 2.0 for Gato(assume he used it for balao and tench as well) i used the drum version in 1.9 because.

[vickers03]

well i think ducimus used the uss drum version in TMO 2.0 for Gato(assume he used it for balao and tench as well) i used the drum version in 1.9 because.
i already said that the files in my download section are
newer than the ones that come with TMO 2.0

[Ducimus]

Yes i believe i used the USS drum. As vickers stated, he has a newer version. The version i was using, i had compiled into a build for TMO 2.0 for some time, and i simply didn't think to check for any new versions.

My impression was vickers was working on an Sboat interior, and that was it. Vickers PMed me that he had wrapped it up, So i D/Led it, looked it over really quick, sat there wondering why there was an extra cfg file, (like i said, i looked it over REALLY quick), ran the interiors without the cfg file cause i wasn't sure what it was doing, looked at the sboat interior in game, and it looked fine to me. So i added it to the update, tossed in some last minute patch changes, recompiled, and compressed all 2 Gigs of data, uploaded that puppy, and was damn happy to be rid of it too. :O:

[Bubblehead1980]

sorry vickers, mustve missed that:damn:

[Stary Wuj]

Wow! Looks really great!
Thank You very much Vickers!
