[REL] Type 7 Super Turms v2 - (With Lightmaps)

[Aces]

Hi chaps,

Thanks to the genius of Flakmonkey I have uploaded a new version of my Type 7 Super Turms mod which now includes new Type 7c1 Exterior Lightmaps very kindly produced by Flakmonkey,

Readme:

Greetings,

This mod combines entries from three mods into one so that you can have Flakmonkey's Twisty Periscope, Privateer's Turm emblems Your Way and Anvart's Flag and Pennants and DF Antenna all at the same time as well as Tarjak's Historic Emblem Pack and a big bonus courtsey of Flakmonkey who has very kindly produced new Type 7c1 Exterior Lightmaps.

When enabled the Type 7b1, 7b2, 7c1 (with lightmaps) and 7c8 Turms (conning towers) will display the above. Please see the enclosed documentation for the Turm Emblems Your Way and Historic Emblems mods for more details of how to customise your own emblems.

The mod should be enabled in JSGME after Anvart's Flag and Pennants and DF Antenna (GWX_DFa-Flag&Pens_2010).

Note: This mod is also compatible with the Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.3 for GWX3 mod which should be installed first.

If you are using my "Aces' Multimod compatability fix release v1.1" simply activatel the Type 7 Super Turms v2 mod AFTER the above mod.

Thanks to:

Flakmonkey for his permission to incorporate his Twisty Periscope mod and for producing the custom Exterior Lightmaps for the Type 7c1.

Anvart for his permission to include parts of his Flags, Pennants and DF antenna mod.

Privateer for his permission to incorporate his Turm Emblems Your Way mods.

Tarjak for his permission to incorporate his Historic Emblems Pack,

Hi Aces !

[Aces]

Thanks mate but it is really Flakmonkey that should get the thanks for this one as he very kindly produced the new type 7c1 lightmaps to go with Privateer's Turm Emblems Your way3D models.

I did sink a nice freighter :DL, just got to love those Urfisch effects.

I've now got the all-in-one Turm that I've been wishing for for ages.

Cheers chaps

I'm trying to make the most of my free 30 day trial with Maya, it's fa\r to expensive for me to buy.

As you might notice, apart from the new lightmaps for the twisty perscope, the DF antenna and the rod antenna I've managed to port over Testpilots new UZO (not lightmapped yet, I'll be doing that tomorrow) and would like to include it subject to his permission. Magic mate, maybe ou could ask him on my behalf on the German forum.

Best Regards

Aces

[Aces]

Hi chaps, I've finished lightmapping the UZO and doing some neccessary things yo the type 7c turm8 as well as a few other experiments and I will be testing v3 tonight, all being well I'll probably upload on Saturday. I will post a few more screenshots here later.

cheers

Aces

[sabretwo]

Fantastic work, Aces! :up:

Looking forward to V3!

[BUKER]

I agree fantastic!!
We look forward to continued ...:rock::rock:

[flakmonkey]

This is indeed looking superb, its great to have all these mods together and compatible, i think mod conflicts are the one of the biggest modding headaches, so its nice to see everything working without conflicts :up:

[Fubar2Niner]

OMG superb work Aces, can I ask a question mate ? What screen res and or AA setting are you running ? The radio antenna looks almost circular rather than an old threepenny bit. Keep up the amazing work ( I know I'm kinda showing my age there ;) ). YAAAAAAARRRR ! Just noticed something spookey, we are both from london with almost the same post tally :arrgh!:

Best regards.

[Aces]

Thanks chaps,

Looks like everything is working as intended need to test more in capaigns but both SMs and campaigns are looking good. Had the usual issues with duplicate ID in the turm 7c8 but sorted them out, takes about 30 minutes a go to test and bug fix every campaign mission start so slow work.

Here's a couple of the latest screnies withh Testpilot's UZO, the DF antenna, Rod Antenna and Twisty Peris all lightmapped.

Hi mate,

I run at 1024x768 and I am using an NVidia GTX260 with N-Hancer. I'm a bit tired tonight so will post my N-Hancedr settings tomorrow when I get in from work.

looking really nice, aces! Im thinking of making some more conning tower textures to go with this work!:salute:

[Aces]

Hi chaps,

All sorted, I will be doing final testing this evening and uploading v3 tomorrow.

I've changed the DF Antenna model to Testpilot's one. I'm trying to contact him as I would like to include his UZO and DF Antenna.

A few new pics:

Edit:

Hi Brett I really like the idea of those towr textures, your conning tower textures are superb mate.

[Fubar2Niner]

@Aces

Thanks for the settings update mate. Puter had thrown a hissy fit so been a few days since I last perused the posts. Many thanks again shipmate, soon as I'm up and running I'll post a screen. BTB most impressed with your works :yeah:

Best regards.

Hi everybody!

:-? After installing this MOD, new Sub Emblems appear tiny and all of them on the starboard (right) side of the turret (old Emblems appear as usual, though). Any ideas?
Regards,
JC

[Aces]

Hi mate,

Please check that the Emblem/Sub Emblems folder had installed correctly. Are you using any other emblem mods?.

Best Regards

Aces

Edit:

Also please post your mods list, it might help.

[piri_reis]

Great work combining all these awesome mods, Ace :up:
thank you mate!

[Aces]

Thanks mate, glad you're enjoyhing it.

Of course all i've done to date is merge them together but I'm really excited about version 4 when it comes out as it'll have some new stuff in it as well thanks to all the help and advice from some of the most talented individuals to grace this forum.

Best Regards

Hi Aces:
Thanks foor your answer. These are the MODS I have currently installed:

http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab298/jc_alonso/JGSME.jpg

I have tried your MOD with no MOD's installed (only GWX) with the same results. And the Emblems folder appears to have all the files in it (your MOD's and the original ones).
Best regards,
JC

[Aces]

Hi mate,

Just a thought, what model of boat and turm are you using?, the Turm Your Way emblems works with type 7b1, 7b2 and 7c1 turms only.

Best Regards

Aces

[jcalonso]

Hi Aces,

Currently I am using a 7c2 turret.
Regards,
JC

[Aces]

Hi mate,

Then that's the issue, the "turms your way mod"/emblems were designed to work with 7b1, 7b 2 and 7c1 turms only (actually there's three mods there). I have incorporated these mods into these turms with Privateer's kind permission. Try one of these turms (especially the 7c1 as it is lightmapped as well) :03:.

Best wishes

Aces

[Oldbucket]

Your mod looks really nice, i like the new texture and the flags but i have a question, forgive my ignorance but what`s a lightmap when its at home?? What does it do??

Also do i need an nVidia card to run it or will it run on ati cards aswell??

Thankyou.

[Aces]

Hi mate,

See this thread for more info on lightmaps http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=161617&highlight=lightmaps

These are the lightmaps (for the type 7c) that i am using in my mod plus a few new one I have produced.

I should think that you'll be okay with your graphics card.

Best Regards

Ahh, thanks, now i get it:up:

[Fubar2Niner]

@Aces.
Hi mate, at last got my puter back up so I've a question for you. I'm already half way through a campaign using various mods, so I would rather use your excellent looking work on a vanilla+1.4b+GWX 3 install. Now heres the thing. Is it safe do you think to use the MUlti Install gizmo (sorry name escapes me), without having to start the whole shebang afresh, i.e fresh installs of 2 versions SH3? I really would rather keep my current campaign alive if possible. Thanks for any help mate.

Nearly forgot, what version of nhancer are you running? Your screens appear markedly different to mine :yep:

Best regards.

Fubar2Niner

[Aces]

Hi mate,

I'm not really sure, I guess if you backup your career for safety sake and make sure you are in port but I'd rather an expert on such things comment.

Cheers

Aces

[Fubar2Niner]

OK skipper thanks for the input, which version Nhancer you use mate?

Re: MultiSH3

Question is thrown open to any experts, thanks for any input in advance kaleuns.

Best regards.

Fubar2Niner

[Fubar2Niner]

@Aces

Is it possible to use BBW's 'New Wilhelmshaven plus locks for GWX3' with your mod ? If so what order should I enable in JSGME ? Also I have downloade your Multimod compat v1.2 and the associated mods listed in that post, do these also have to be enabled as in said post before Type 7 Superturms v2 ? Thanks for your patience mate.

Best regards.
