Aces' St. Nazaire Numbered Sub Pens.

Hi chaps,

Please let me know what you think. Thanks to Hansolo for his magnificent animated sub-pens mod.

Download Link:

http://www.filefront.com/16862261/Aces_St.%20Nazaire%20Numbered%20Sub%20Pens%20v1.0. rar

Readme:

Greetings,

This mod add numbering to the u-boat pens at St.Nazaire. It includes an edited harbor_kit.dat file from HanSolo's most excellent WAC animated sub-pens with the following additions.

1. Each Pen has external numbering on the front eg. "B 12 A" on the front as did the St. Nazaire pens.

2. Each Pen has numbering above one of the doorways leading to the next pen.

3. The mod includes a new "center" pen model (pens 2-13) which enables each pen to be inter-connected.

4. I have included a new ceiling texture for the pens based on wartime photographs.

Please enable the mod using JSGME.

You will require HanSolo's Animated Sub Pen / WAC4.1 SubPen_animated_18.02.2010 (link below) and my mod should be enabled AFTER the animated sub-pens mod.

Download link for animated sub-pens :

http://www.filefront.com/15615751/WAC4.1-SubPen_animated_18.02.2010.7z/

Please note this mod requires the same attention as the animated sub pens mod, it is a large mod and may require the /3GB patch.

Credits:

Thanks to HanSolo for his fantastic animated sub-pen mod.
Thanks to aergistal for his help and inspiration with the sub pen ceiling texture.

Hi, Aces, this is looking absolutely fantastic :)
I am downloading it now and will give you feedback....
Thanks for all your work

Amicalement
PS: just one question what is the " the /3GB patch" ?

Fubar2Niner

06-25-10, 01:03 PM

@Borgneface

"Recent versions of Windows support a switch option in BOOT.INI called the /3GB switch, which adjusts the way memory is allocated between the user and the operating system. By default, the split is fifty-fifty -- up to two gigabytes for the user and two for the operating system. The /3GB switch option sets those limits at three gigs maximum for the user and one gig for the operating system. As the name implies, /3GB was originally meant to be used in systems that have 3 GB or more of RAM -- something that is no longer quite as rare as it used to be!"

Hope this helps as an explanation shipmate.

Best regards.

Thanks chaps,

I've been working on a new version. I've been battling with flickering textures but got them better. I've also been customising the pens with different vehicles and added numberplates to them and redone the "Mannschaft" so that there are more crew on deck and three officers. I've also added gangplanks and some men in the control rooms is some pens, so each pen is different.
I've still got quite a bit that I'd like to do before release.

Some pictures:

I redid the pen models again to try and get the roof to look something like the Fangrost bomb-proof roof structure of the St. Nazire pens:

Hi chaps,

Nearly finished, got some more testing and slight tweaking tomorrow before I upload. I re-did the pen 3d models (yet again!) to include the large steel blast doors at either end of the pens as it looked stupid to have vehicles in the pens and no doors as well as the railway track ending at a wall! :). I also redid the ceiling texture again!.

Hi the readme advises that this can be used with GWX also without the sound files. Does that mean omitting the entiser sounds folder?
Any chance of getting a fully compatible version with GWX.

This looks just amazing! :yeah:

Aces

07-19-10, 02:43 AM

Hi,

I guess you mean the readme that comes with HanSolo's animated sub pens mod not my readme although that mod most certainly can be used with GWX and so can my mod. You enable Hansolo's mod first and then my mod after it.

You will then get the sounds from Hansolo's mods and my new pens.

Hi chaps,

Just to let you know that I've been working on this round the clock (regular work allowing) and it is looking pretty good. It includes many new textures, object etc. etc. as well as new 3d models for the pens.

I have one more very nasty problem to iron out and then we're good to go.

I have a node that I added which I want to delete and which doesn't appear in the dat file when viewed in S3D so that deletion is impossible. I have searched the dat file and can't find it and the same with a hex editor. Any thoughts much appreciated. My only though it ot delete bloack of nodes from the dat and test and repeat and test and then narrow it down, potentially a long and tedious process.

Best Regards

Best of luck mate, wish I could help, but alas, I lack the skills. I know you'll track the bugger down eventually. History shows that your mods are always worth the wait mate :up:

Hi Aces!
The idea!
Can you build a soldier in two rows?
And so the soldiers did not clapping hands?
This can add to your mod?

He is right, the crew is saluting with the wrong hand.:yep:

Aces

07-23-10, 09:03 AM

Hi chaps,

All fixed, I have edited the 3d model to change the saluting hand and also changed the headwear to the sidecap for ORs and the Officers wear the officers cap.

Please excuse the crappy screen captures from S3D, I'll post a better ones from in-game this evening.
