[WIP] RUB is Back [Archive] - SUBSIM Radio Room Forums

LukeFF

03-11-10, 10:06 PM

Just an FYI: the Real U-boat (RUB) mod is back once again for SH5. Just like with RFB, this will be a mod focused on realism. It will be a while before the first iteration is released (because I want to see what the patches change), but the mod is definitely being worked on. The forum for the mod can be found at http://forum.kickinbak.com/index.php?sid=525796fec22eba69a99cbc1950f7b266 .

Luke...
where do you find the energy?

Oh, and.. umm.. now that you've made it official, better put on your poker face, cause your in for a bumpy ride! (but, then you already knew this). :salute:

CCIP

03-11-10, 10:29 PM

I knew you were gonna announce it sooner or later :)

Good news. I will honestly be happy to help contribute to this and other such mods once I have a little more free time... and a little more motivation. SHV needs a patch big time before a team effort such as RUB can have a proper go at it.

Awesome, always liked RUB in SHIII. Thanks for taking it up again :up:

Ah, the first supermod I downloaded for SH3.
Very good to hear RUB will be back :up:

Great to see Luke tackling the monster. I definitely like the way you do things and I want to help out this time around

03-12-10, 11:58 AM

Was the first major mod i used for a SH3 as well.
Look forward to seeing what you come up with.

03-12-10, 12:02 PM

Great, now I'm going to have to start saving my money so I can upgrade my computer so I can run the game and actually go out and buy the game now.

There's hope yet.

03-12-10, 01:00 PM

Great news. The game sounds like it needs all the help it can get.

Out of interest, is Beery still around? I haven't seen him in a very long time.

AVGWarhawk

03-12-10, 01:06 PM

LukeFF :yeah:

Beery drops in from time to time.

This is great, I've always used RFB for the US side so I know I can expect amazing quality :up:

Good news.

I'm using GWX for SH3 but SH4 without RFB would be a shelf crap for me. Great to hear the announcement and good luck!

Just the announcement I was waiting to hear! Great news!

03-13-10, 01:18 AM

I can't wait.

I've put a temporary hold on my SH5 playing so I don't become too disillusioned. Once the first release of RUB comes out I'll be able to bust it back out again.

Cheers Mate!

TopCat

03-13-10, 01:32 AM

Yessss! This is exactly what we need! So this game could be worth playing sooner or later. Thx a lot, mate!

Any news about how the mod is going? :D

Good news idd :)

LukeFF

03-22-10, 03:40 AM

Mod work is progressing well. We have (thanks in large part to Ducimus) conning towers and deck-mounted weapons exerting an appropriate amount of drag, dive rates adjusted for all subs, and some other stuff we're working on at the moment. A big project is going to be to get some semblance of realism with the special abilities.

Will-Rommel

Sgtmonkeynads

03-22-10, 04:10 AM

Thank God.
Maybe this game will have something called re-playability after all.

Juliano

03-23-10, 09:21 AM

And what about the campaign?
Are you guys thinking about adding some new stuff or different missions?

Cheapshot

03-23-10, 01:13 PM

This is the kind of announcement I've be waiting and hoping for.

As soon this (or any decent mega-mod) is released, I'll take the SHV plunge...so I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with. :)

Good luck!

Piggy

03-23-10, 01:49 PM

Yeah Baby!!! :up:

This annoucement means SH5 will not be collecting dust on my shelf... not that I didnt thing someone would save it, but its great news none the less!

So... when can we expect a release... hahaha... :har:

Sailor Steve

03-23-10, 02:01 PM

03-23-10, 04:22 PM

One thing i hope that will be adressed is the total lack of life in our own and enemy harbours. It affects my own harbour the most. Strangely enought there is not a single mod that adress this yet.

LiveGoat

Can't wait for this!

Happy to hear that ;)

A question hope not to be boring but also conning tower' weapons should cause drag ? aren't they big enough ?

Hmm....wasn´t it my first supermod for SH3 ? :hmmm:
Seems to be ages ago :03:

LukeFF

03-24-10, 02:33 AM

And what about the campaign?

I'd like to mod the campaign, but it's a massive effort.

LukeFF

03-24-10, 02:35 AM

A question hope not to be boring but also conning tower' weapons should cause drag ? aren't they big enough ?

Yes, all flak guns and the 88mm will cause drag. This will affect one's dive time, rate of depth change, acceleration, max speed submerged, and turning radius. It's one of the coolest realism features added to the game by the devs.

looney

03-24-10, 03:01 AM

Early war the 20mm AA guns needed to be stored inside the sub is that gonna be modelled also?

Crap I need to buy the game if I start thinking about mods for it...

Good luck and looking forward to this very much- just what SH5 needs, and hope you can address some of the weak areas of the stock game.
:yeah:

LukeFF

03-24-10, 03:27 AM

Early war the 20mm AA guns needed to be stored inside the sub is that gonna be modelled also?

Should be possible.

LukeFF

03-24-10, 03:28 AM

Are you planning to change the damege model of the sub.?I find this (and AI sinking mechanics) quite annoying. Got rammed by destroyer, black screen and the crew still responding to key commands. The damage mod in RFB was great - destruction because of flood and not som HP loss.

Not sure yet how I'm going to approach the damage modeling, as Observer (the mastermind behind the RFB damage model) hasn't been around lately.

Capt Jack Harkness

05-02-10, 08:25 PM

Are you guys also going to add more playable subs to the game? I've heard the Type IX and Type XXI appear in the game as non-playables, though I haven't seen them myself.

Granted, it would be a big project (especially modelling the parts of the interiors that weren't present in SH4 U-boat Missions, as well as bringing the parts that were up to SH5 graphic standards), but with crew abilities that affect O2 consumption, battery charging rates and endurance it seems like making a Type XXI with realistic submerged speed, range and endurance shouldn't be all that tough in SH5... Of course, it'd also be awesome to walk into the XXI's torpedo room and see the hydraulic loading system in action. :)

bigboywooly

05-02-10, 08:31 PM

Well you heard wrong
lol
The type 2 is in the files - unfinished and thats it
No IX or XXI

Krauter

05-03-10, 05:33 AM

The Type II is in the game files, with no interior, maybe make it playable and just plop the VII interior into it?

Also, while rummaging through files (forget where) I did find information labeled TypeIX A B C and D so...

bigboywooly

05-03-10, 06:10 AM

Also, while rummaging through files (forget where) I did find information labeled TypeIX A B C and D so...

Probably textures
All the fleet boats tetures are still there but dont mean the sub is
Many files contain references to subs not ingame cos they are left from previous game versions

Highbury

Maybe Tomi would be interested in putting his Type II interior into it?? :D

Capt Jack Harkness

05-03-10, 06:35 AM

Well the Type IX-D2 and Type XXI (I mean XVIII... :P) are in the u-boat missions pack. If they were ported over they would still require a lot of modeling and animating of compartments not present in SH4, but it'd be a pretty good start.

LukeFF

05-04-10, 03:36 AM

Are you guys also going to add more playable subs to the game?

No plans for that, no.

BTW, yes, the mod is still "on the table," but I'm not going to go further with it until the ever-elusive patch is released.

05-12-10, 03:35 PM

Never played the original RUB but enjoyed RFB very much!

I wish you the best of luck! When you have a release I'll get SH5 :)

LukeFF

05-12-10, 06:12 PM

It'll be a couple of weeks before I have anything to release, but I will have something for you all to try out.

Luke, thank you for working on RuB for this title. I haven't purchased SH5 yet, waiting for the patch sequence (which seems to be at a likely end, now) ... and wasn't convinced I would buy it anyway. However, if I can get back into an RuB mod, that is the key convincer for me!

Hey, no news lately on RUB, is it still in the works? O.o

Great news that RUB is underway for SH5.

Well yes, but all the latest posts from the crew both here and on their own website are months old...

Hope this isnt off the table now :06:

Are they busy working on something that is reducing their public forums posts?:06:

Nisgeis

06-27-10, 03:04 PM

I do hope the negative environment hasn't ground them down. Negativity spreads easily if you let it. I don't think there's any movement on the RFB (SH4 Fleet Boat) side of things either.

Capt Jack Harkness

06-27-10, 03:22 PM

No, RFB was closed down some time ago...

Nisgeis

06-27-10, 03:45 PM

Yeah, I thought that was so RUB could take shape. :hmmm:

Yah isnt RFB a different project from RUB?

Nisgeis

07-01-10, 01:51 PM

Yah isnt RFB a different project from RUB?

Yes, with the same team working on it. I thought they'd 'cleared the decks' from RFB to concentrate on RUB. Let's hope no news is good news.

Forensicman101

11-17-11, 02:55 PM

Great to hear that this is in progress. One plea: would it be possible to include a comprehensive document setting out what the megamod includes? The GWX megamod for SH3 was superb in that it included an excellent manual.
