[REL] Icebergs!

[The General]

Icebergs v2.3

It's alive!!

TheDarkWraith's sterling work has allowed this Mod to live again. It's a work in progress, needs testing and feedback. That's where you come in dear Community :up:

Icebergs have been added to the Campaign in appropriate parts of the ocean during the appropriate times of year. Included in the Mod are also corrections made to a couple of small mistakes made by the Devs (Waypoint loops not being set for some Port Traffic).

PLEASE NOTE: This Mod does work on its own, but for best results should be installed over TheDarkWraith's Magnum Opus until such time that he's ready to incorporate it. Obviously a Campaign restart is required for changes to take effect.

[bigboywooly]

First off, watch this:

Pretty cool huh? Since seeing this video, I have always wanted to play Cat & Mouse with a Destroyer amongst Icebergs. In the 'Sea' folder for SH5 there are 5 items dedicated to Icebergs. Does anybody know if they are implemented in the Campaign? Is it possible have them spawn randomly above a certain Latitude i.e. in the Artic Circle? What about a Mod that creates Pack-Ice (possibly using the Terrain Generator)? :hmmm:


How cool would it be to finally go under the icepack, avoiding pressure-ridges and maybe even breaking through and surfacing where possible? :DL

Not seen any Icebergs in the campaign files but not looked at them all
In SH3 they never moved despite being supposed to till IIRC Rubini sorted that
Tis a fairly simple job to put them in
IF they work
Mines dont work in the ME but are in the files
Subnets dont either
:roll:

:roll:A fairly simple job huh? I just opened up the Mission Editor for the first time and quickly got a Migraine :-? It's clear that I simply lack the talent to take this on:03:. There are 5 different types of Icebergs in the 'Sea' folder, is it a case of moving them to the 'Roster' folder and then adding them to the Campaign with the Mission Editor or something? It should be clear that I have no idea what I'm talking about:oops: If you could give me a few pointers, I'd be happy and try to do this myself :o.

[killzoiker]

i have run into one, didnt see much as i was going at x1024 , but it was big , i was heading far north to the top of greenland. see if you can find any

Did your Watch-crew say anything when they spotted it?

[piri_reis]

That SH3 video was awesome, watched it before the release and got completely hooked on :arrgh!:

Here's a SH5 single mission I quickly made up, very similar to the situation in the video. But for some reason, after about 30 seconds of game play, the external camera goes haywire, "out of sectors", the screen goes blue but the action continues in the background :hmmm:

See if you can get it to play properly.

Drop into data\SingleMissions:

The icebergs are in there, no need to add anything to the roster.
Haven't checked the campaign files, don't know if they're scripted in or not..
Could be added through the ME if needed..

This'll be the first time I've seen Icebergs in SH4 or 5 and they look spectacular!!:rock:

Edit: It crashed for me too after 30 secs. What I did see looked fantastic! I didn't get the chance to dive underneath them and se what they look like under water. I had the presence of mind to take this one screenshot:

http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/1561/icebergs.jpg (http://img153.imageshack.us/i/icebergs.jpg/)

God I'd love to see these things pop up in the Campaign!

[bigboywooly]

Just answered your message General
Indeed are already in the roster folder under enviromental
Doubt your crew will spot them as ignore anything not at war - as SH4 did which is seriously wrong as now you know anything your crew spots is the enemy
Takes away half the fun

Anywho
Cant find any icebergs on the campaign but doesnt mean they arent there
Just that I dont see them
:har:

[The General]

I PM'ed Pintea (Our resident Guardian Angel here in MOD World it seems :03:) with the question above and here was his reply:

Hello,

It IS possible, by using the icebergs that are already in-game (or new ones for that matter, if you want other shapes, like the pack-ice you mentioned).

Icerbergs are treated in game just like ships :) , so you can make icebergs move by waypoints, randomly generate (by random grp generator) or any other behaviour that ships have.
From the editor, you can find them in Sea/Roster/Environmental, just set the veterancy level to POOR, or otherwise they will engage you :)

You can also edit the terrain, but it won't move ...

[captainprid]

This is very very cool:up:

[Ablemaster]

Made a mission in sh5 with several icebergs in it, the crew did spot em and they showed up on the map, but my pc ctd when i went to look at em, my first ctd in sh5, i had 5 icebergs in a small cluster, so guess it was too much, one or two works fine though. Ps you can give em course and speed or have em just sit there.

[lorka42]

Due south, Extreme speed ahead! (emergency water resupply)
or, emergency temporary aircraft carriers.

Finally, I have some stable results:

Now, I'm gonna get to work on hopefully creating and uploading my very first Mod that'll put icebergs (and maybe even icefloes :) in the Campaign! :shucks:

[SubV]

I've managed to add icebergs into a single mission, too:

That has to be one of the most annoying features in SH5
Testing anything late war is a freakin nightmare

Nice on General
Look forward to release

[piri_reis]

So the graphics engine doesn't go haywire after a while, w/ icebergs around? SubV can you share that single mission for testing purposes?

The icebergs look magnificent, keep at it The General :up:

[SubV]

Of course. I simply modified the existing single mission from BARF mod using Mission editor 2.

Thanks! I didn't get any game anomalies this time, guess I had done something wrong before.

Absolutely beautiful things these icebergs, and with no apparent FPS hit :arrgh!:

Yes, they are. :)

We absolutely need to include them into the main campaign.

[piri_reis]

I wonder how the AI reacts to icebergs on collision course?

Single ships probably would try to avoid (how successfully? They're big..)
but convoys?! :doh:

Also, please enlighten us how to add the subnets and minefields to the game. We've tried to add them, but to no avail:

Pintea, would you kindly add these great looking icebergs to the main campaign? In the next patch, maybe, please?Um, hello? That's what I'm working on. The Devs would've added them by now if they were gonna. Atleast they gave us the tools and the resources, for that I am very grateful :up:

I have successfully got about 30 Icebergs in the Campaign, but you'll have to restart the Campaign to see them. I was gonna wait until the release of Patch 1.2 before I Posted any Mod, because I have a feeling most people would restart a Campaign then anyway.

If the devs have altered the traffic on ports - crashing into harbours etc - then ppl will have to start a new career to make use of those changes.

Makes sense to release your mod then :yeah:

[The General]

Makes sense to release your mod then :yeah:I hope you're right. I wouldn't want The Devs holding back on any improvements because they're worried about asking people to restart a Campaign. The Devs may feel that asking us to do that is kinda like admitting they made a mistake and they haven't exactly been keen to do in the past :hmmm:

By the way, I set the Icebergs as High Priority Contacts. I assumed that this would force a drop out of T.C. when the Watch-Crew detected them, so as to avoid ploughing into one Titanic style. Hasn't worked so far. Still testing...

[bigboywooly]

Its possible they dont even realise you have to start a new career to see any campaign changes
Nothing surprises me any more

Not sure how the high priority works as was an improvement for SH4 and didnt really get to do anything much in the ME on that one :oops:

[kylania]

Also keep in mind that the campaign files themselves are changing, so adding icebergs to the current campaign files will just need to be redone all over again since the files will be changing.

Unless you're keeping them all as a separate layer mission you can just drop in, than you're golden. :)

As for the time compression thingy and avoiding collisions with contacts I've noticed that collisions don't happen at high time compressions. I've sailed through many ships at 2048. Or at least it looked like it.

Thats because you are probably travelling in "Travel mode" .Yeah, this is probably correct. Neal posted a video of DD's going straight through the land. Problem with the 'Travel Mode' feature maybe? When I set-up a lone Iceberg to travel on a Southerly course at 0.5 knots, it went straight through the appropriately named Iceland :o

As it stands, I have 30+ 'Bergs in the Artic Circle area, that are stationary, but Spawn randomly within a 20 KM radius. There seems little point going to the trouble of setting-up looping Waypoints for each one because, if you encounter one it'd moving too slowly to notice anyway. Instead of Waypoints I am toying with the idea of having the 'Bergs only appear during the Winter months. I can put them in different postions each year, so that it doesn't be come too predictable :DL

[Sgtmonkeynads]

Yeah, I can't wait either.
Got that darn begining Riff from Ice Ice Baby in my head.



Or "Under Pressure" if you beleive the courts.:har:

[The General]

Imagine the money you'd get from the Tooth Fairy if she found this sucker under your pillow :o!

Here is one of the problems I'm trying to deal with. Placing a large 'Berg like the one seen below into a shallow area means that it will hover like this for a short while before slowly sinking into position. It's quite cool to see, but kind of an immersion killer ;)

http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/1365/godstooth.png (http://img31.imageshack.us/i/godstooth.png/)

Sunken vessels also sink into the earth after a while, to keep Poly-counts to a minimum I guess. The Devs building-in this feature isn't a bad idea I suppose, but it was kind of cool to have the possiblity of crashing into a sunken wreck when trying to avoid DD's :hmmm:

[The General]

To hell with the Patch being delayed, this Baby won't wait any longer! :D

[t0maz]

Nice work - thx :up:

[BigBANGtheory]

It looks really interesting, what is the quickest way to locate an iceberg when starting a new career?

[The General]

Let's just say, you'd better have your best Watch-crew on deck when entering the Ffjord into Narvik, Norway ;). They show up on Sonar by-the-way, as a Merchant contact. So if your Sonar man calls out a Merchant contact, be sure to check it out.

Please post screenshots. Depending on feedback, I may add alot more to the game.

Happy hunting!

Thanks for the mod!

Great work here.

But may I ask a question ?
Why haven't anyone posted underwater shots already ?

Pleeeeaaaaassseeee !

:DL

[The General]

Thank you.

Why not give the Mod a try?

The thing is that these icebergs mainly appear in the Winter months, in the Northern areas and so the sun hardly rises above the horizon. It means that visibility underwater ain't all that good. I can assure you that what you do see, looks spectacular. All we need now are Sea-lions and Killer Whales swimming around :up:

[kylania]

I fell victim to the camera bug with this test mission (not using the mod) so I only have scope pictures. :) I was able to pass through these icebergs as if they weren't there. And they were reported as ships moving fast by my sonar guy and "smoke on the horizon" by my Watch Officer. heh

Camera going out of sector is a stock issue
Game works ok on a reload but not the point

Maybe thats why they ( devs ) left them out :hmmm:

A minor inconvenience though for having them ingame
Maybe fixable by someone who knows the camera files

Hope the devs sort this, ive had the crash also and the weird camera behaviour when icebergs around.

While it's not out yet, DarkWraith's MultiUI 1.2 includes a new teleport to station option which can fix the camera out of bounds issue caused by ice bergs. :)

[Deutschland]

Good work, -The General-
now the game is more 'complete'..

[TheBeast]

For me, this MOD greatly adds to the realism emersion. I have even added other environemtal aspects such as Dolphins and Sharks and would love to see Whales and "The Kraken" giant squid as well. 3D Models for Whales and Squid exist. People with 3DS and the know how could import them into the game.
How awesum would it be when on patrol having a giant squid (Almost the size of your Type VII) latch on and attempt to drag you down.

Do you plan on making a Icebergs version campatible with Light Campaign MOD or visa versa?

[LeBabouin]

I have even added other environemtal aspects such as Dolphins and Sharks

:o Yet downloadable ?

:o Yet downloadable ?
Yes, look here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=167426), 1st post for more info.
I installed Shark v1.0 in SH5 and I could view it in the Muesium because it was part of the US Merchant Fleet. Version 1.1 puts the shark in the Environemtal group and improves the textures but I have not seen the Shark or Dolphins in a Campaign yet. They may need to be added to the Capmpain's just like Icebergs. Maybe TheGeneral (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=226803) can adds the Dolphins and Sharks into his MOD.

Currently not ruuning this MOD because I havent heard if it is compatible with the 1.2 patch.Not compatible with 1.2, sorry :down:

The Briefings were written before The Devs realised that they wouldn't have time to implement things like Icebergs, Subnets and Mines into the game. I wish I knew how to fix these things. The Iceberg models don't have any collision detection, they just pass right through land and ships, it doesn't make for a very realistic environment and adding them was supposed to be an improvement :-?. There is also a problem with the Camera going 'Out of Sectors', when near an Iceberg. It's things like this that put you off trying. I suspect this is why we have seen a lull in interest from the Modding Community.

You can probably tell I am a bit disgruntled with SH5 at the moment. I keep encountering bugs while playing the Campaign and it's spoiling my enjoyment. I have heard that there will be no more Patches and probably not another Silent Hunter (with this Dev Team anyway). Perhaps it's time to take a break from Subsims for a while? Besides, the sun is shining :sunny:

[BigBANGtheory]

Adding Icebergs was a really neat idea, I also understand how one can get frustrated in modding when it feels the game design is against you.

If you've hit a brick wall or lost interest can you explain where you are at and what the pain is so that it can be re-visited either by yourself or others?

[303_Michcich]

Hi General, I`m in tutroial mission, sailing to Narvik but can`t see any icebergs...can I just skip tutorial and go to another mission to see icebergs ?

[303_Michcich]

just to clarify - I also have Environmental mod 2.3 + Abyssal Depths by astradeus installed.

Did you load the Iceberg's MOD prior to starting your current Career?:06:

[303_Michcich]

yes, it`s been on a new career...

[TheBeast]

When you enter the bay leading to Narvik just before entering the river there will be Icebergs. I think that 3 of them are there. Sonar wil display a green target indicator when the Sonarman detects one.

[303_Michcich]

are the icebergs visible in the tutrial mission only or in all of the Total Germany campaigns ?

They are there during the entire campaign

[303_Michcich]

should I look for them submerged so that they are visible on hydropohne ? Also, can you point on map exactly where thjose icebergs are ? I`ve gone whole way to Narvik and couldn`t spot them...?

Read Post #1 of this Forum Topic. It points exactly where the Iceberg's are up near Narvik.
THe Iceberg's will remain there during the Total Germany and Acrtic Convoy's Campaigns.

[The General]

Because SH5 is unfinished and has a few problems I cannot guarantee that you can see the Icebergs, there is a weird 'camera-out-of-sectors' problem for example, also, your watch crew may not always alert you to their presense under TC. I'm sorry it's all very hit & miss, but if The Devs had been given enough time to finish SH5 then things'd be alot easier :03:

I did put them in all the Total Germany and Artic Convoy missions, these are the only missions in the Campaign that occur during the Winter months and take you to areas where you're likely to encouter Icebergs. Happy hunting :up:

EDIT: I just went looking for them and had that 'Camera-out-of-Sectors' thing happen when switching to External view, so I'm pretty sure the Icebergs are there somewhere. If you have this happen save the game and reload and the Iceberg should appear. Sorry it's not more predictable, it's just SH5 is not what you'd call a 'polished product'.

::EDIT:: You may want to check if you are using a old Cameras.dat that hast the problem.

Didnt Ubi release a cameras.dat update in the 1.2 patch?:06:

You may want to check your Cameras.dat to ensure you are not using a old one.

[303_Michcich]

LOL I was blaming recent changes in TDW UI 3.06 mod for the `camera out of sector` all of a sudden starting to appear for me - are you saying this is caused by the iceberg mod ? :haha:

So, whenever I`m close to icberg the camera out of sectors pops up and I should then save and load the mission again and the iceberg will be out there ?

[The General]

You may want to check your Cameras.dat to ensure you are not using a old one.I am using a FreeCam Tweak v1.1 but that uses a Cameras.cam file not the .dat file. How do I check if I have an up-to-date Cameras.dat file? Where is it?

[303_Michcich]

I used to use FreeCam Tweak 1.1 as well, but had to give up when starting TDW UI mod as these two are conflicting

[The General]

I've just tried to go to where the icebergs should be and my computer crashed! Not just CTD but fully Crashed :down: I'm sorry but I don't think it's gonna work, I'm gonna delete this Mod from the Forum and recommend everybody uninstall it. Sorry to've wasted everybody's time :cry:

[The General]

Regrettably, the Iceberg Mod has been deleted. It was just too unstable. I apologise for not being good enough to make this work.

That is sad to hear. Don't feel too bad though man, it was a pretty big accomplishment that you got it to work at all.

[Sepp von Ch.]

Any progress in this mod please?

[Krauter]

/facepalm..

Go up TWO Posts and you'll see..

Sheesh..

My question to you General is how is it unstable? I haven't had any problems so far (that I know of..)

Cheers,

Krauter

[charognard]

can someone share this mod ? I d like test it...

[TheDarkWraith]

Decided to look into adding these. Fixed the incorrect class and adjusted their damage model. Did a little test to see if hitting one of these would cause damage:

Last message in messagebox says hull damaged so yes, hitting one of these is not good :D

[Rongel]

W_Clear completed its work, so...:oops:

[TheBeast]

If changing Campaign,:ping:

What about adding Hump Back Whale, Dolphin and Haifs(Shark)?:06:

I did some enhanced sound mods for the Whale and Dolphin for SH4. I also added actual Humpback Whale Whale-Song and actual Dolphin sonar and squeak sounds.
You can hear the whale-song inside your boat if the whale is less then 6,000 meters away.
You can hear the doplhin sonar clicking if the dolphin is less then 1,000 meters away.
Both can be tracked on Sonar but Sonarman does not report them as contacts.

The same can be done for the Iceberg sound as well. The cracking of ice is very loud underwater. that and a wave splash would make for good effect.

@Tomi_99
W O W ! ! !

Looking forward to see what you release.


@TheGeneral
Love the new release of Icebergs!:up:

I did notice one issue. The Icebergs are no longer reported by the Deck Watch and do not display on Navigation Chart when clearly within visual range.
In your original release the Icebergs were displayed on Navigation Chart and reported/tracked by Sonarman. Did something change in the Iceberg CFG or NAMES.CFG that is preventing this now?
