U-21 is in a dry dock for some fixes (I totally screwed up the start of campaign with OHII so the campaign was generating in some funny way so I had to start completely new one). So here's U-43 leaving Kiel heading to the Baltic Sea. 3rd of September 1939.

Nice picture there misha:salute:
I've installed sober's best ever waves v2....well what can I say? Thank you sober and please stop fiddling with it already because I can not really get anywhere because I'm on external camera all the time taking screenshots.

Thanks, Swat! Yours ain't too shabby either. I'm going to have to add the sparkling waves myself now because that really is something that I remember from years on the ocean. :DL

I can also relate to the "quit making this damn thing better so I can start playing it instead of taking screenshots all the time!" :03: I've long since stopped using anything but SH5 screenies for desktop backgrounds and my kids are forever going "wow, dad! Is that a real picture?" :DL

The screenie I took in the post above was with my new settings and much trial and error. I can now turn everything up to "awesome" and, even on my rig, still stay above 20FPS even in "heavy" areas. I also noticed, other than upgrading to nVidia's latest drivers instead of sticking with what works, that part of my problem other than the aging CPU is a lack of system memory. I'm still chugging along with only 4Gb of it (64-bit system so it IS using it) and it's never been a problem before. Even with my old 260 I could run BFBC2 with 60 FPS and everything turned up to "wow", but SH5 is a different animal, particularly if you use the mods that make it worth playing. It's not only CPU heavy, it's also very much MEM heavy. I noticed that by looking at my HDD LED when I was in port with low frame rates. It was on constantly, shuffling data between the HDD and the mem. And I know that it's not my HDD transfer rates, I built this rig far better than it needed to be when I built it, it's just that it hasn't enough mem to store it in with "only" 4Gb.

So I've got another 4Gb on the way to get me up to 8Gb. I'm fairly confident that that'll help. And if it doesn't, it's only $60.

But at least everything is stable as a rock now, even when I turn it up to "wow". :DL

Swat

03-29-12, 05:45 PM

Indeed this game is system hungry, but at least it can justify itself by its appearance. And it is definitely worth of investments for the new hardware to run it smoothly. The reason making it worth are definitely modders. Without the mods I wouldn't be bothered to even look at SH5 in the shop.

Heyho,

havent been here in a (long) while. But in my last week of Holyday a thought came to my mind.
Gotta do a SH5 Video ... again.
I havent had the chance in the past 2 years for any project of this kind and the one I'm preparing right now will be a small project so I can finish it in time.
And I think this might be the only community who can appreciate the ammount of work that goes into that stuff.

If you like you can watch my previous SH5 movie here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA4bascDwvE&list=UUoCO6w6VIwI6pxuBtkatFtA&index=4&feature=plcp

Also, there are two 2-part movies I made in SH4, visit my channel if you havent already seen them, I postet them back in the days^^.

Just wanted to say thanks, since this forum is the only reason i ever started making this vids and I always learned alot by doing it :)

I had asked about SH5 historical accuracy & Scap Flow a couple weeks ago ... I had no idea OHII and all the great mods by sober and TDW existed ... a couple weeks later (fresh install, new soup, and a some appreciated help getting going), and it was wicked fun ...

I finally took the time to reupload my old "U-797" movie. Some people requested a higher quality version, since alot of stuff was hard to see and back when I uploaded the movie, Youtube didnt yet support HD.

Here it is:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgBZvbg9MPE&feature=youtu.be

My new movie has been through alot of shooting, reshooting, editing, reediting, and rereediting, but its finally coming together and I think I'll upload it tommorow, or maybe this night (night in Germany that is).
But i can say this much: I'ver never spend that much time in post production or even scene shooting for just 2 min^^

Took me a few days, but i hope it was worth it.
The movie shows a sub thats ascending and preparing for an attack.
Hope you like it.

I also uploaded a few images taken from the movie, If you want any picture from the movie in a specific resolution PM me (with timecode), otherwise i might not see the request.

Prefer the old one (Curse of the Deep Silent Hunter 5 movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA4bascDwvE )

better movie-shots,
better graphical interpretation of the main theme,
but the first 24 seconds are not that good - more a reminescent to a remote-controlled mini-sub.

I was checking out your shots and loved the graphics. Your setup is great. I love the way the ship looks in the shot with the flag. I'm almost there, I've got the graphics almost perfect (as can be anyway). I took a close look at my TDC yesterday and really hadn't noticed when it happened but it looked so real I could feel the metal and salt rust on it. Anyway, your game looks great Herr Kaleun.

Hello :DL :sunny:TheDarkWraith :sunny:, if I increase the resolution of the dynamic shadows (decrease the horrible SH5 blurred shadows) automatically the range of the shadows decrease, therefore apparently I am not able (at the moment) to increase the resolution of the shadows and at the same time keep the wide range of the dynamic shadows, may be the only way is to tweak the code/algorithm of the SH5 shadows, below are the mods I use plus the modified shadows parameters, thank you for your Big help to improve SH5 :yeah:

If you increase the FarPlane parameter of the [Bridge] from (150.0) to (300) the range of the dynamic shadows increase but the resolution decrease, and I have no idea how to avoid this inconvenient :damn:

Hello :DL Dogfish40, I dont understand you, I think the "deck" is a normal stock SH5, I cant see any detail improvement :hmmm:

I may have been used to looking at the deck from the bridge too much. It seems when I'm on the bridge, the view of the deck to the water seems almost two dimensional. However, after posting my question to you, I went back into the game and took a little walk on the deck during daylight hrs. The deck up close has a wonderful amount of detail (like what I saw in your pics, except my deck is lighter in color) it looks extremly real, but the further away I get, say back up on the bridge again, and it's back to that flat look.
Anyway, there's something that I can work on. It's not a real big deal, I just noticed the deck and features in your pictures and loved that look they have.

Thanks guys, I'm always here, just not as active as I'd like to be.

The depth of field effect is the same effect that is currently used under water, but hacked to be seen above the water :)
It makes the sub look like a toy and only works for static shots, but it's an interesting effect nonetheless.

Hello Magic :salute:, apparently the hard code for the SH5 dynamic shadows have bugs and therefore probably such hard code is partially borked, doesn't work correctly or misbehaves, tweaking the dynamic shadows settings can help to some extent but cannot fully fix the SH5 blurred shadows problem, if I increase the shadows resolution by tweaking only the shadows settings, the range of the shadows decrease proportionally to the increase in resolution, if I increase just the "HighResolution" value above 4600, the frame per seconds decrease exponentially. The path to the SH5 shadows settings is ; Silent Hunter 5/data/Cfg/Shadows/

Below I show you my currently shadows settings, keep in mind that the final solution for the SH5 blurred shadows problem is to fix the SH5 shadows hard code

Sober, here's a screenshot I took with your DOF V2 SH5 installed. It's from the Infiltration mission north of Londondeery and with decks awash to sneak in, and back out after the drop. My guess is it's probably lighter because of the time of year in the northerm latitudes. But I do believe your mod helped out too.

Yep, I've found that out the hard way. LOL Best for the crew to take a nap at night now in August of 1940.... can't see a darn thing at night. Very hard to know what you're shooting at, especially the farther away they are. But it's still a good mod just the same.

After getting everything sorted with my reinstall and mods back in I restarted "Happy Times". This is my first patrol out on 6/15/40 from Wiihelmshaven to drop off an Infiltrator north of Londondeery. I've only made to the south side entrance for the passage thru the straight below Scapa Flow. Heading up the coast I first encountered and sank 2 A Class destroyers. Upon rounding the point I have 2 escort contacts. I pop out to the external view to take a look as they aren't moving and don't act like destroyers. What do I find but this.......

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/GT182/PTBoatsBurning.jpg

All well and good but I head north submerged towards the island south of Scapa Flow. Then I get contact report of a Task Force on the move out of Scapa Flow. Time to check it out. After finally getting into visual range I see a Nelson Class Battleship heading out to sea with it's escorts. Bingo! Three torpedos into it's side and down it went. [Screenshot didn't take but it went down as the icon shows in the next screenshot.] After looking around I spotted an Illustrious Fleet Carrier. After moving in within range for over an hour I take a shot at the carrier. 1st torp hits but 2 others blow up before they can reach it. They must have hit mines. Funny thing was that the first torpedo wiped out everything on deck, and she was completely on fire but not shown as sunk. . 3 more shots and they all hit. Down it goes. :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/GT182/IllustriousFleetCarrierSunk1.jpg

Total tonnage thus far...... 61376. Everyone gets a shot of rum once we hit the open N. Atlantic.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/GT182/IllustriousFleetCarrierSunk2.jpg

Now the weird thing. None of the escorts even made a move to find us. Everyone of them sat perfectly still. I could have racked up on hell of a tonnage total but decided to get out and play it safe. On to the drop off point.......

Casey, do a Google search for screenshot programs. There's a lot of them out there that work very well and also those that are not so easy to use. Make sure you get one that will save your screenshot via PrintScreen and save it in Jpeg format..... not as Bmps. BMPs can be over 1Mb in size where Jpegs are usually 20 to 40 Kbs.

Torpedos wouldn't touch it, but the deck gun did with 12 AP & HE rounds. :D That and sinking an HMS Nelson Class Battleship made it a memorable patrol.

Some shots of sub interior using a combo of Naights Submarine Textures (interior) and silentmichals interior mod which together does a really good job of getting that darker more cramped feeling. Really like these two combined.

Most credit has to go to Sober's Mod list and each and every one of the talented modders involved in it here at Subsim. No filters were used and no visual editing, all is in-game.

Thankyou Sober! The font was a mistake, it should have been the same as the smaller writing, but hey, just testing so we'll call it a.... placeholder. :yep:

Besides replacing the font, as suggested by sober, I would also reuduce U-boat's and camera speeds. Everything looks like it was accelerated, and imoho spoils the feeling of quietness before the battle. :hmm2:

Not one of the SH games has fixed the fact that the purpose of a harbor is to protect ships from the weather. So the Panzerschiffe is rocking back and forth like it's in a storm and your poor u-boat is bouncing up and down like a cork in what we English-speakers call "safe harbor".

None of which is your fault, of course, and I apologize for going off on a tangent, but it was so obvious to me that it hurt. I'll try not to do it again.

On the contrary, this is actually a good remark Steve.
I am sure that the issue can be addressed by creating some ne weather zones with reduced wind speeds (and since we are at it, cloudy water color to simulate harbors pollution). The only drawback to this workaround, is that looking for the right pixels of ClimateZones.tga were to place the windless zones, would take a lot of time :yep:

Thanks! First video was Lisa Gerrard - Lament, from Schindlers List I believe, and the second was Brand X Music - Legends. Both great pieces, and both making it into the film.

Beautiful videos, Damo! :rock:

They really highlight the best parts of SH5. Unfortunately they also highlight one of the worst parts, at least for me. Not one of the SH games has fixed the fact that the purpose of a harbor is to protect ships from the weather. So the Panzerschiffe is rocking back and forth like it's in a storm and your poor u-boat is bouncing up and down like a cork in what we English-speakers call "safe harbor".

None of which is your fault, of course, and I apologize for going off on a tangent, but it was so obvious to me that it hurt. I'll try not to do it again.

Oh, I saw that wake! The speed limit in harbor is 5 knots! :stare: :O: :sunny:

I totally understand your sentiments, when you're scrapping more shots than you actually think are useable I have to admit the SH5 'quirks' are a tad annoying. I'm committed to hide these unrealistic flaws from the camera as best I can in the final film but I could sure do with some more ballast to weigh that boote down, I'm guessing there's no modding solution to it as I'm sure it'd be fixed by now. And I saw Bernard in the engine room in port, so ermm, yeh.

Besides replacing the font, as suggested by sober, I would also reuduce U-boat's and camera speeds. Everything looks like it was accelerated, and imoho spoils the feeling of quietness before the battle.

Thanks for the input, as they were a test I didn't play with any speeds or effects in Vegas, this will of course not be the case in the full film.

I was also playing with Dynamic Environment 'Darker Nights, NO murky waters' which I may change for the harbour shots to get that murkiness back in the water. Neither of the test videos will be used in the final cut.
