EDIT: NEW VERSION (v3.1)

Changlelog v3.1:

Fixed engine grills displaying intermitantly bug.
Fixed inverted shadow on old emblem compat versions bug.
Added water reflections for turm ladders
Added water reflections for animated Radio Antenna.

I thoroughly recommend that v3.0 users update to version 3.1 as it fixes a couple of major bugs as well as adding a couple of new features. I have updated the download links to point to the new version.

Hi folks,

Okay here's v3.1, hope you enjoy using it.

Greetings,

Supplied are two version of the mod (use on or the other, not both at the same time), one with three MG-34 machine guns inside the turm and mounted on the bridge and the same but with 2xMG34's. This version of the mods includes both stock emblems and Turm Emblems Your Way compatable versions of the above making a total of four variations. Also included are both Privateer's original Emblems template and a new version of this for use with my mod to correctly fit the re-scaled turm.

The main feature of this mod is that I've re-scaled the Type 9 c-1 turm (conning tower) to make it larger so that the crew on the bridge look in correct proportion to the turm and notg bigger as was the case previously. I've also incorporated features of my other "Super Turms" mods such as the UZO model rotating to match the UZO bearing, the lowering and raising of the Radio Antenna (SHIFT+A/CTRL+A keys) and the turm objects such as the MG-34's ammo drums, coffee cup, UZO and helmets disappear from inside the turm when surfacing and re-appear when diving.


The mod inludes Tomson's Dials and is fully compatible with Anvart's GWX_DFa-Flag&Pens_2010, GFlags, Pennants and DF Antenna mod.

Credits:

Privateer for his permission to incorporate his MG-34 and Turm Emblems Your Way 9 mods and for all his help.

Anvart for his StateMachine method.

Testpilot for his permission to include his UZO and DF antenna models and textures.

Thomson for his excellent Thompson's Dials v2.0

SKWas for his fantastic S3ditor program without which this mod wouldn't have been possible.

Wreford-Brown for very kindly creating a special campaign file which vastly speeded up the testing of this mod.

Last, and by no means least, my long suffering missus a "modding orphan" with great patience :)

All my friends on Subsim.com for their help and encouragement.

Version 2changelog:

Corrected missing outer compass dial on turm.

Corrected missing needle on speed dial on bridge.

Added two six-rung ladders to the back of the Wintergarten.

Raised bridge camera height to correct for greater turm height.

-----

Version 3 changelog:

Added new compass (working) model to bridge.

Added engine cooling grills.

Fixed emblem not displaying correctly bug.

Is it normal that the grills textures are flickering and show only on certain angle of camera (~straight angle)? They hide completely at other angles (~sharp angles).

[edit]

And the shadows of "old emblems compat" version are broken for me - they are inverted for turm & the rest of sub:

(here you also see, that the grills dissapeared at this angle)

Hi mate,

I have already fixed the grills problem earlier today and am uploading 3.1.

Regarding the shadows, I can't see how the turm file effects the hull?!.

I will re-do the download links shortly.

Great, thank you!

It doesn't affect the hull - the hull shadow is ok (that is, the light side is the side from the sun), the problem is with the turm shadow - it is inverted (that is, the dark side is the side from the sun), as on the screnshot. I don't have this problem with "emblems your way" version.

:hmmm: That's weird; I just made a new skin, and took some screenshots with Aces' mod installed, but the shadows work correctly on my system...

EDIT whoops, you're talking about the ' old emblems' version right? I use the 'emblems your way' version. So at least I can confirm that that one works fine.

Great looking skin mate.

I wonder if it is possible to remove the grills and new emblems flickering problem. It looks like the external texture (eg. emblem) and the base texture (eg. turm) are very near, and they flicker between one and the other. Maybe if the external texture would be slightly far away from the base texture, and there would be a slight gap between them, they would stop to flicker? I tried to find the position coordinates of grill and new emblem in silent 3ditor, but without success.

Here for example is similar problem with other textures flickering on 9c - as you see, when I zoom out in 3ditor, the flickering textures hide behind other texture, there is clear conflict:

Hi mate,

Regarding the flickering deck textures that's not something that I have changed in my mod.

Regarding the engine grills flickering I only get it from distance and I think it's a video issue. The texture is there in the file. You can freely edit this texture if you wish eg. move the grills apart, if so remember to re-do the Alpha channel. The texture is called "Turm9c1_Extra_Textures_Style1.tga" and if you edit it then remember to re-import it into all four of the supplied turm files for the different versions. Actually there is a gap b etween the textures.

BTW, have you dowenloaded and installed the latest version v3.1 that I uploaded yesterday?.

@Fubar2Niner, greetings my old mate.

Regards

Aces
