Super Turms & Super Pens W.I.P (Big images)

[Aces]

Hi folks,

A few things I've been working on for the next Super Turms 5 and Super Pens 5 GWX releases.

First off Super Turms 5 additions:

In the Type 7c-1 Conning Tower when submerged "Now you see 'em":

and when you surface and they appear on the bridge, "Now You don't":

Thanks to Diving Duck and Anvart for the great help with the dials method of hiding/showing objects. The UZO and MG34s appear/dissapear at 7 Mtrs thus:

For Super Pens 5, I've added (subject to permission) Hans Witmann's great torpedoes as well as Privateer's magnificent MG34s:

Hi Aces,

Fantastic work mate and you have full permission to use torpedo HAHD it is already indicated in read me if i remember well:up:

Best regards Hans

[Aces]

Thanks Hans mate,

The dials method works very well, I'm very pleased with the results.

I removed the detonators from the torps, thought that'd be safer :)

Kind regards

@Aces

Top notch me 'ol mate, really looking forward to the rls (as usual :yep:)

Don't burn yourself out again tho mate :salute:

[Rhodes]

Sorry Aces, only saw your question now. I have only 3gb so no 4gb patch. :cry:

But in a near future I will improve the ram and the I will use you great mods! :up:

[Borgneface]

Hello Aces,

This is absolutely great...I think you really have been on board an submarine! :DL Otherwise how could you think about all these little, but very realistic details??? :yeah:

Amitiés

[Madox58]

Nicely done Mate!
:salute:

And it goes without saying, your free to do as you wish with the MG34.
:yep:

[Aces]

Thanks kindly chaps,

I've afew more ideas I'm working on and I thin k that it'll be Super Turms 5 released before Super Pens 5.

@Fubar2Niner:

I'll try and pace myself mate thanks.

@Borgneface:

I'd love to go on boards a sub my friend. It always looked really odd when the UZO and MGs were still in the conning tower when surfaced.

@Privateer:

Thanks mate, your MGs are superb, a fantastic addition to the game.

@Rhodes,

I see mate, hope you can add another meg soon.

Kind regards to all

Aces

[Myxale]

Great to hear mate. Will they fit easy with your compatibility packs?

[reaper7]

Lovely work Aces, look forward to seeing them ingame :up:

[Aces]

Hi chaps,

Yes Myxale mate, I will release a Superturms 5 which will contain all the required Super turms files and also release an add on for The multimod compat fix mod with just the new files.

Additionally, the Super pens mod will be a new version (5) release with all the required super pens files.

Kind regards

Aces

[Myxale]

You rock mate. You Packs made SH3 really cool.
:salute:
I love the tiny additions in the conning Tower and in the Control room. It makes the sub feel lived in and homey!

@Aces

Looking forward to this mate, as always :up:

[fitzcarraldo]

Great work, Aces!!! :yeah:

I like, if it´s possible, a Super Turms for Type IX...Is this a future project?

Many thanks!

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

[nemo7]

Beautiful matey, just beautiful..:DL

[Aces]

Hi chaps,

Yes, I will inlude the type IX at a future date when Privateer has added Turm Emblems Your Way.

Now for some new stuff for Super Turms v5:

I've added my updated Mannschaft model/texture as featured in Super Pens as a crew on deck on the type 7C1. It uses Anvart's Statemachine method and functions exactly the same as his flag/pennants/DF antenna mod, eg. the crew only appear within a certain radious of port when the Watch Officer is on deck and only above the water as the get very damp otherwise :)

Very nice, thanks for sharing the latest screens...

Too bad the crew is too delicate to get wet, ;) but other than that - very nice work.

Coming along nicely http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

Thanks chaps,

Back to Super Pens 5, it's amazing what you find when you poke around in DAT files isn't it. Found this super Alsation dog, movie camera and tripod and cameraman. I did an Alsation dog texture to go with it.

Great find...

I don't mean to be picky, but can we call him a German Shepherd? Seems only fair seeings how he's standing in Germany. :haha:

Just joking, call him whatever you like. I only mention it because I was discussing this with some English friends the other day. As a result, I looked into the background (of how the different names came about) and found it interesting.

Anyway, back on topic... Great job, keep up the good work! :sunny:

What 8x10 camera and film is he using?:D Possibly kodak panatomic-x isn't?

Great details? :up:

[Aces]

Hi chaps,


Glad you like the new additions of the Alsation/German Shepherd Dog/Canine and the camerman :)

The camera really should be an Arriflex but this one will have to do but maybe I'll add the Arriflex logo later this evening.

As I've already got the Old Man and Werner in so I thought the cameraman really ought to be Wolfgang Petersen so I made a few changes to both the camera and cameraman textures, a sort of cameo apperance by him to complete my "homage" to Das boot :).

I love attention to small details, they all add up to greater immersion in my book.

Cheers

Aces

http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/1449/petersoncameraman.jpg

[Aces]

And now he has a proper Arriflex film camera :)

Wow, so cool! Never thought I'll see a crew on deck!:salute:

And, are you saying, that the Cameraman and the Dog were already in vanilla?? Cool!

Hi folks,

Just a quick update.

I think I've done just about all that I'm going to do for the new Super Pens v5 GWX mod. There was one new feature which I would have dearly loved to include but as this now look to be impossible at least for the time being so I just about ready to release and should do so this coming weekend.

All being well that'll leave me time this week to finish off Super Turms v5 for GWX and it might be possible to release this also this coming weekend or sometime next week otherwise.

A small note on installation for these mods.

Super Pens 5 GWX should replace Super Pens 4 GWX so simply remove Super Pens 4 in JSGME and activate Super Pens 5 in it's place.

Super Turms 5 can either be activated on its own using JSGME or, if you are running v1.3 of my Multi-Mod Compatability Mod, then Super Turms 5 should be activated AFTER the multi-mod comp fix mod using JSGME and let it overwrite any files hat it requests.

Please see the documentation supplied with both mods for information on other required mods etc., however, please note that these requirements haven't changed from the previous version and only need to be heeded if you are activating for the first time, also please see my news link in my sig for other install-related information.

Kind regards to all

Aces

Will you create a version for LSH3-players, too?

Maybe you could get in touch with the LSH3-team for an integration.

Would appreciate this a lot! :)

[reaper7]

Looking forward to your release Aces, can't wait to see the crew on deck :salute:

As stated previously, the crew on deck look awesome - really looking forward to this! Thanks Aces!! :salute:

Nice work Aces...looking forward to a link.

[Borgneface]

Bonjour;

Yessssss I am also looking forward to install your mod....It just so happen that because of unknow error or mistake I made adding mods to my game...which I have been running since GW3 was released, I had to completely delete & reinstall Sh3 & GWX3...so Now I am reselcecting all the mods & GUi I like and reinstalling very carefully on that fresh game...So I am waiting for this release.....Perfect timing Aces !:up:

Thank you friend :salute:

Morning chaps and chapesses,

http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/3231/newsfromthemoddingfront.jpg

I've re-done my crew on deck uniform textures which will appear in both Super Pens 5 (on some of the docked u-boats) as well as in Super Turms 5 crew on deck in harbour feature to look a bit more true to life.

I've based these on Raptor's excellent grey and grey leather uniforms and, when finished the three officers will wear the leather and the other ranks the grey cloth uniform sort of as shown below. I'm not trying th get them an exact match for Raptor's as the 3d Model would need extensive editing but, IMO, they do look more realistic.

http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/9875/nahmanner.jpg
Silent 3ditor screeenshot, in-game pics later.

Hans Solo's original animated sub pens had a "Mannschaft" on deck on the moored u-boats. Some while back I expanded this by re-doing the 3d model to remove the original caps and replace them with officers' caps and side caps as well as increase the number of crew members on deck and have them saluting with the correct hand. At that time I also re-did the texture as I did with the "Herr Kaleun" and Werner 3d models and textures but I thought it needed another overhall for the new versions especially for Super turms 5.

http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/7199/jahowlherrkaleun.jpg

Sorry to hear about your re-install mon ami, hope all goes well.

I will think about other super-mod versions of these mods, particularly the Super Turms mod after release.

Best Regards

I'll see what's what with LSH after I've released the new mods.

Simply amazing. Departing and Arriving never felt more complete!:rock:

[Madox58]

@Aces,

Can you give me a link to this Mod by Maori please?
I want to check the 3D model cause that IS Babe.
And I'd be a bit displeased if he ripped her off.
She flies in the K-Ships.
Any GWX member can verify that!
Babe passed away and that was a tribute to her.

[Aces]

Hi mate,

I presume you are reffering to the dog model which I found in this mod:

Maori - GWX - Schleuse - Holtenau

http://www.gamefront.com/files/17404595/Maori

It's in a DAT file named "Animal_life.dat".

I has a plain black texture and I redid the texture to a German Shepherd.

I don't want to offend anyone and I'm happy to pull the model from my mod if requested, likewise I'll happily credit whoever's work as is customary.

Kind regards

Aces

[Gold-Maori]

The German Shepherd is one of the black color changes.
