Naights Submarine Internal Textures V1.0

All my Textures and designs are FREELY to share, you only have to credit and explain in your post and documentation (clearly) what you have modified or used, no more, screenshots of my advancements posted in this post are not shreable until they are released.

Important:

- Internal Submarine colors are not real, some new designs too, so they are adapted to my taste, so if you are looking for realism ... :down:

- Lighting inside the sub has been adjusted with new values (very dark sub) so most of the textures are designed to work with that lighting !! if you use other values, probably the textures will take different tones and effects !!

- The mod changes most of the Internal submarine textures, I worked most of them adding highly detailed completely new textures with new maps, trying to avoid that horrible mapping and designing "tileable" textures (some are 1204px textures so maybe performance in some computer drops ?¿, me no problems)

- Pipes, floor, walls, tubes, dials, food.... Better some screenshots :06:

Optional Underwater MOD

UNDERWATER MOD BY NAIGHTS

http://i45.tinypic.com/2q3nnd1.jpg

This is my underwater mod that attempts to match better my interior mod with Dynamic Environment (you need to install first that mod)

NOTE: With this mod installed you could barely see your sub, except when the sea is very calm and when there is lot of light (sun rays help with visibility).

- Underwater visibility is VERY reduced.
- Underwater is MUCH darker.
- Underwater is MUCH blurry.
- Underwater movement effect is little bigger.
- Added more impurities.
- Replaced water streak with custom ones.

Because the reduced visibility (if you go very deep with the external camera) this mod have Underwater 3d cloud issue:

The reason this is happening is because the only way the reduce visibility underwater is to reduce the actual draw distance, by reducing the draw distance you get the unfortunate result of being able to see a little bit of the cloud that is being rendered beyond the now reduced clipping plane underwater. The only sure fix atm is to increase underwater draw distance close to vanilla levels or disabling 3D clouds.

MONITOR

-This step is optional, but highly recommended. ADJUST YOUR MONITOR BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST. An uncalibrated monitor can cause images to be washed out, or unusually dark. Lagom.nl has a very nice suite of test patterns to aid calibration. Browse to http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php then open http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/white.php in a new tab. Fiddle with your monitor's brightness/contrast levels until all black and white patterns are distinctly visible. You may also try adjusting your video card's brightness/contrast/gamma settings as well. NOTE: Your monitor may not be capable of displaying both the darkest darks and the whitest whites at the same time (or at all). In this case, try to find an acceptable middle-ground.

Hope you like it, BYE !!

I noticed the Minute had missing from clock. if you look very close the minute hand is there but it is clear. Maybe Alpha Channel needs some work. This issue existed in stock texture...
Same problem with Radioman Room clock.

Look at the Targa Alpha Channel. Clock hands can come form black background of any image but will show up in the Alpha Channel as small white clock hands. Minute hand white image missing from alpha somewhere.
What is the DDS file name for the clock in the radio and sonar room in SH4 v1.5 U-Boat Add-on
If you look at Data\Menu\Skins\German\Gui\Clock.dds as example. Some clock hands not on image but the hands are on image mask(Alpha Channel)

I think clock hands are on Dials.dds

No, all the gui related clocks that I know of do have a texture somewhere that they get the hands from. For example data/Menu/Gui/Chrono.dds.

Edit: I know a good deal about all the GUI textures thanks to working with reaper7 on his mod.

Yes but data/Menu/Gui/Chrono.dds doesn't have a hour hand that looks like the clocks with the missing minute hands.

Have you seen the Hour hand like on the clocks on any images you have worked on?

I've been searching for the Hour Hand in the images and Alpha and haven't found it yet. If you find that image, I will fix the missing minute hand and maybe even the seconds hand.

Also, is it possible the controller is missing from a GR2 file?

I know that the file I mentioned does not have the missing clock hands, I was just saying that there should be a discernible clock hand somewhere since they are used for the Gui's clock.

No, I have not seen them anywhere, that is what I am saying. Me and BIGREG cannot find any dial/gauge/clock needles/hands anywhere.

Nice clock by the way naights. I have not done anything with the clocks yet in my interior mod. But, you are inspiring me to do so.:up:

Here is a thought. The clock in the Control Room and the Clock in the Conning Tower both work. Those two clocks face to Port and to Starbord.
The clock face for the Sonar Room faces Aft (Missing Minute Hand) and the Clock in the Radio Room face Foreward (Missing Hour Hand).
All four clocks use the same hands.
Could the orientation of the clock have anything to do with it?:06: In other words, are the clock hand images single sided?

If it was just a texture alpha channel, I would say that orientation would not make a difference at all. But, I think you may be on to something with the orientation, as that would point to the GR2 files I believe.

I bet that the texture for the clock hands(where ever they are) are low opacity images. The clocks that are working correctly have the shaders set for the low opacity, and the clocks that are not working are set up for full opacity. That would explain why you can still see a ghost of the hand there.

I agree, the problem most likely exists in the GR2 Model. I checked the GRS/SIM files for the room. Controls in question are:
Sonar Room: QR1_Needles_Minute1
Radar Room: QR1_Needles_Hour2

The hand are ghosted in GR2 and I have not been able to track down when the Textures are actually configured as yet.

02-17-11, 02:40 PM

is there a way to dim the interior sub lights? not only the light output but the lights themselves?

Paris_England

02-17-11, 04:47 PM

@mobucks -- yes. The ambient light is broadly controlled by lights.cfg (data/cfg/...) and then fine tuned with data/filters/colorCorrection/hdr_interior_submarine.cfg

There is also a light controller on the GR2 file but it's difficult to access this (or at least it is for me :) )

The bulbs themselves are controlled by two textures: bec_submarine.dds and reflectcube.dds found in the textures folder plus a texture renderer in the GR2 file of the compartment that the light is in. The renderer has what amounts to a specularity or brightness option for the reflectcube.dds texture and a mixer for the underlying texture (bec_submarine.dds) which you can think of as the colour of the bulb's housing.

Here's the result of mixing it up a bit -- using Steel Viking's interior + darker interiors + custom HDR config + custom light textures+ custom GR2 mix + ENB series. Look after the underwatershots and look at the bulbs -- they're no longer bright balls of white :)

02-17-11, 05:01 PM

thanks for the info:much appreciated!

Walkin through the sub in that vid reminds me of NYC nightlife. All the bars are like a submarine; thin, long, and packed with dudes.

Although, to critique your setup, I think ENB or any type of HDR strengtheners kinda goes against the look of darker interiors, or the general "DasBoot" asthetic. The brights are too bright. Again, this is just my oppinion, maybe you arent going for the same look I am.

If i get around to it I will try redoing my sub lights, right now everything looks cramped and dark and dasbooty, except for the 200watt bulbs inside the sub.

Paris_England

02-17-11, 08:21 PM

@mobucks -- enb is an aquired taste for SH5 but I just wanted to disclose everything -- the main point being no 200w balls of pure white :)

@naights -- great textures :) All of them. Thanks for the hard work :)

anything close to the one on the right would be awesome. Maybe not the filiment is possible but a less bright, somewhat amber color for the bulb.

The other thing is the actual interior sub lighting, like what is on the crews faces, could use some slight darkening/less bloom.

Hi:

Yup, I've also got something similar editing the bec_submarine.dds (darker) but the bulbs look like plastic (with no interior light "turned off")

02-18-11, 11:49 AM

You can also change the colour/texture of reflectcube.dds but this is a cubemap 1 bit explicit alpha.

It's this texture which gives the glow. It's mixed with bec_submarine

To reduce the glow you need to open up a compartment GR2 & sim file (ie room_CR.gr2 and room_CR.sim) look for the bulb entries (This could be one of many things eg bulb-housing, sticla etc) and then edit the controller.

Render-EnvMappingController will give you access to what you need to dim the bulbs -- and to add new textures, if you like, to the reflection.

I think the only way to change the alpha of the bulbs is within the 3d model itself which is not accessible.

Before/After: Before is Naichts screenshot from the beginning of the thread -- no work on the bulbs. After is not exactly an apples to apples comparison as it uses Darker Interiors which effects the ambient lighting and a small mod by myself which effects the textures of the bulbs and edits the gr2 files.

The bulbs still glow, but they're not so harsh and they're yellow.

I'm sure this can be done better -- I'm just trying to share the info I have :)

Hi:

What is the exact file format for bec_submarine? im getting different bulb with the stock file but saved by me manually in photoshop.
64-bit-A16B16G16R16, size 4x4, mipMap 1/3 , mem 0.1kb

this is after was alterate by MO - but i think that tdw keeped the same format as vanilla one

Paris_England

02-18-11, 01:54 PM

bec_submarine is altered by steelviking's interior mod which is part of MO -- so unless TDW didn't include that bit, it is changed from the original.

in steel vikings mod it appears to be DXT1 no alpha, 2d texture. Size is 4x4 px.

The size can be upped and an alpha channel introduced. Mapping can also be changed from sphere to cube in the GR2, so painted textures can be made a little differently.

Don't forget reflectcube.dds -- if you don't save this down as a dds cubemap it won't show in game.

This is the best I've been able to do.

bec-submarine is a flat yellow FFE757 dds -- no alpha.
http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff164/RAiDER_COCKPIT/sh5/bec_submarine.jpg

This is reflectcube2.dds -- a new texture. This needs reworked a lot, but the trick at the moment seems to be to take some of the underlying bec_submarine colour and some of the nightlight colour so at least it looks like it might go with either type of ambient light. It's a real fudge, but until the night light controller is exposed I'm at a loss as to what else to do.

http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff164/RAiDER_COCKPIT/sh5/ReflectCube2.jpg

It is saved as a DTX1 cubemap <---important

Then the sim file has been edited in goblin.

In this case merge (data/submarine/common/rooms/...) Room_DER.gr2 and Room_DER.sim

Once it's open click on GLASSDOMES in the scene tree and edit the behaviours. In the example here EnvMappingCtrl has been edited:

Type: changed to 'Cube' (originally Sphere)
Teture Path: data\Textures\TNormal\tex\ReflectCube2.dds (was ReflectCube.dds)
Reflection Multiplier: 3 (was 9.9)
Fresnel Factor: 0 (was 0)

This is all affected to some degree by the HDR_interior_submarine.cfg

Very nice done interiors. Highly unrealistic, too. Boats were painted lighter colours. Life on the boat was depressing enough already. And the crew would like to find gears and stuff without flashlights, too.
I understand this dark interior is designed for those who would like to deveope this certain Das Boot's claustrophobia effect :)
Nice work nevertheless :salute:

yes it was painted in lighter colors, but got dark and dirty over time... also the lightning inside a sub wasnt to strong or everywhere... no light no color ;)

this sounds pretty reasonable. I must confess I havent thought about the wear and dirt taking its part in final look of the interior.

Remember that the author of this project clarified that the colors are not real, that suits your taste.

:yep:It is clear that this work is aimed at creating that claustrophobic atmosphere like in the movie Das Boot.

It is difficult to obtain as they were the real colors of the interior of this boat, SteelVikings and his collaborators made extensive research in their work SteelViking's Interior Mod, the problem is the arrangement of the textures within the file. GR2, creates an obstacle for the relocation of the colors inside the submarine. To make handling these files, which I believe will soon be, thanks to the people involved in this project, we will see a breakthrough in this type of work ...

:up:naights congratulate again for your great work ...

The textures used have great quality, nicely done but the feeling is like being in a burnt down wreck. Is like the boat suffered a major catastrophic damage, all lights are off and the boat is completely burned down.. I can almost smell the smoke and I have the urge to abandon ship. If this was intended, nothing more to comment, really great work.

I mean if in your interior you will have only these parts of the sub darker... if yes i do not think will be a problem ... i never used the radio station in game... you have nothing to folow there (no dials and no tools that you can control... as far as i know:hmmm:)... so if some parts of the radio station are darker i think it is not big deal

Fixed on my latest test version, at least in my monitor are readable.

Heh.. would be awesome if one day we could link the interior lights to the damage, so the light could switch off or blink in the damaged compartments and then give the player a flashlight .. now that would be something truly awesome.

Realistic to!! On the sh2 disc there was a personal account of a u-boat ace that they lost the lights to damage and they needed a flash-light to see what the depth was.

Hi:

Im doing a little underwater mod that attempts to match better my interior mod (With Dynamic Environment)

- Underwater visibility reduced.
- Underwater is much darker.
- Underwater movement effect is little bigger.
- Added more impurities.

Here some screenshots:

Realistic underwater visibility, Baltic sea.

Look also at 5:09minute -> 5:30minute =>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV5VDyBfIbA

In the photos the underwater-visibility is ca. 3 - 6 m and not 3 - 6 km as in other mods.

So reduced visibility under water is more claustrophobic and ... also more realistic.

Hi:

SCOPE SKIN

I want to share a skin that I did some time ago, its for periscope and only covers the external appearance, the problem is that have some problems that need to be fixed (test it and if you are familiar with the game periscope you will notice them easy)

The skin is "playable" but if anyone really likes it and wants to spend some time fixing my work, is freely to do and share. :know:

The skin looks like this with manos scope and TDW interface.

UNDERWATER MOD

This is my underwater mod that attempts to match better my interior mod with Dynamic Environment (you need to install first that mod)

- Underwater visibility is VERY reduced.
- Underwater is MUCH darker.
- Underwater is MUCH blurry.
- Underwater movement effect is little bigger.
- Added more impurities.
- Replaced water streak with custom ones.

Because the reduced visibility (if you go very deep with the external camera) this mod have Underwater 3d cloud issue:

The reason this is happening is because the only way the reduce visibility underwater is to reduce the actual draw distance.

By reducing the draw distance you get the unfortunate result of being able to see a little bit of the cloud that is being rendered beyond the now reduced clipping plane underwater. The only sure fix atm is to increase underwater draw distance close to vanilla levels or disabling 3D clouds.

It's solid mod. I love the way the crew looks. They have this glossy-pale skins that just looks like they rarely see the light of the day.:rock:

Oh, and I dig the Black and White movie filter. I wish we had this for SH3.

Great work. Keep it up#!

I am so glad that someone finally reworked "light and bright" underwater in SH5:up:

... but I am afraid that this is too much:hmmm:

Game is game... so balance between fun (gameply) and realism should always be preserved.

I hope to see some "moderate" version of your underwater mod...:o

Hello Naights, thank you very much, do you think is possible to enable your "Naights Submarine Textures" Mod after the Steel Viking interior Mod to make the Sub interior more grey ? because the Steel Viking Mod in my opinion has a bit too much red (here and there), thank you for your help :salute:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=171415

Yes, you can enable with no problems, simply delete from my mod the submarine folder, then install last and replace all the files with JSGME.

Good Hunting.

Hi:

Just 2 questions:

- what is Optional BW version?

- to be compatible with SteelViking interior mod, we just have to delete "submarine" folder from your mod?

Thanks

1: BW version is black and white (old movie style)

2: This mod is not 100% compatible with SteelVikings interior but if you want that mod interior fixes, you still can use it with some minor interior changes, if you want to install V1.2 (puv) yes, you need to detelete submarine folder, if you are using the new version 1.2g (puv) you dont need to do nothing.

06-17-13, 06:06 PM

This is very good alternative to SteelViking interior mod :yep:
