Uboat Snorkel for SH5 by TheDarkWraith

version 1.1.0

YOU HAVE TO BE PATCHED TO v1.2 OF THE GAME!!!

COPYRIGHT NOTICE:
The code changes made to the .py files are the intellectual property of TheDarkWraith and may not be used, modified, or duplicated in whole, or in part, without the express written permission of TheDarkWraith. The code changes made to these files may not be used in any commercial application of any form without the express written permission of TheDarkWraith.

To install this mod correctly do the following:
Navigate to where you unzipped the mod to and open it up. Select the 'MODS' folder and right click on it. Select copy. Navigate to your '\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\' folder and open it up. Right click in an empty area and select paste. Enable 'Uboat_Snorkel_1_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith' via JSGME (this assumes you setup JSGME to use the 'MODS' folder as default)

NOTE: is this mod perfect? NO WAY. It will continue to evolve as I learn more about the files and the game itself. Does the mod contain any bugs or errors? I hope not but to say it doesn't would be foolish. I will address errors/bugs as users find them and post them in my Uboat Snorkel thread.

This mod will enable the snorkel in the game. The snorkel is not the hinged type as I cannot get that type to work correctly yet. Instead the snorkel is the dual tube telescopic one. It is also not placed in the correct position due to the size of the 3D model. Instead it is placed in the turm just left and aft of the XO.

To raise/lower the snorkel:
- non-new UIs mod: you'll have to edit the \data\Cfg\commands.cfg file to setup keys for the raising/lowering of the snorkel
- those using my UIs mod: simply click the raise/lower snorkel icons of the Chief Engineer's Propulsion order's bar
- those using other UIs mods: You'll have to ask the author of the mod

When the snorkel is raised it allows you to run diesels while submerged to a depth of ~15m (calm seas)

In order to make the snorkel work I had to add a new GR2 file to every sub and I had to edit the existing Uboat_Sensors.GR2 file. If a mod overwrites the Uboat_Sensors.GR2 then the snorkel will not work anymore.

When the sub is >= 6.25m in depth then watersprays, wakes, and exhaust smoke are enabled on the snorkel

For those using my UIs mod this mod is NOT to be installed. Reason is this mod is already incorporated into my UIs mod starting with v6.7.0 of it.

For those using my FX_Update mod (v0.0.18 or later) this mod (Uboat_Snorkel) has to be enabled before it (FX_Update) as it's not compatible with FX_Update

The snorkel is enabled for the subs by editing the sub's .sns file. Currently the game is not letting me define multiple starting and ending dates for the snorkel thus the snorkel is enabled for all subs all the time.

Contributors:
None

Current additions/changes working on for next version:
- Unknown

Add-On mods included:
Uboat_Snorkel_1_1_0_No_Exhaust_Smoke_TheDarkWraith - removes the exhaust smoke from the snorkel

This is JSGME ready. Navigate to where you unzipped the mod to and open it up. Select the 'MODS' folder and right click on it. Select copy. Navigate to your '\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\' folder and open it up. Right click in an empty area and select paste. Enable via JSGME. (this assumes you setup JSGME to use the 'MODS' folder as default)

Changelog:
v1.0.0 - first official release
v1.1.0 - removed the ability to 'see' units when the snorkel is raised (units would be shown on maps as symbols instead of the hydrophone line when no periscopes are raised - now you only get hydrophone line with no scopes raised)
- added an add-on mod that will remove the exhaust smoke from the snorkel (Uboat_Snorkel_1_1_0_No_Exhaust_Smoke_TheDarkWrait h)

For those using my FX_Update mod this has to be enabled last as it's not currently compatible with it.By this you mean FX gets enabled last? If so does this mean FX will still work with snorkel?

This is great. Im only in 1941 but just maybe when I get back to port they might have experimental equipment for me :hmmm:

Just tried this out, and whilst the snorkel does work, I've found a couple of problems...

The navigator cant work out "Max Range at Current Speed" whilst snorkling.

Carbon Dioxide still builds up within the sub...



Great mod though!! :yeah:

[7thSeal]

Been wondering why you've been so quiet lately. Very nice, honestly I didn't think this would ever come to pass. :up:

hmm, doesn't carbon dioxide still build up when snorkeling? If not, then this is a game bug and will be hard to fix.

The navigator problem is a true game bug. He never can when submerged.

[Madox58]

Snorkel solved the problem of C02 build up along with allowing extended underwater operations.
It allowed in fresh air and was also an exhaust system.

The navigator thing isn't much really, but the CO2 is, even one of the loading screens in game goes on about the longest submerged, snorkling, patrol of length 68 days....

What about magnetic torp? :D

[THE_MASK]

The only issue i have is the taxing exhaust on my framerate . Funny that the burning ship smoke that i used in my chimney mod doesnt affect frame rates at all . I just copied the burning ship smoke and pasted it to use with my chimney mod . This snorkel mod really makes OH2 . Currently getting a ctd with my mod list and snorkel mod installed last . I will wait until i have your new UI mod to test it .

I'll have an add-on mod that will allow you to remove the exhaust from the snorkel

Uboat Snorkel for SH5 by TheDarkWraith

version 1.0.0



Thus you have achieved an important objective.
SH5 has now entered a new era.
Thank you! :salute:

[TheDarkWraith]

v1.1.0 released. See post #1 for details :|\\

[Vorkapitan]

TDW,

NOTE: This was before the "NewUIs_TDC_6_7_0_TheDarkWraith.7z" was installed... maybe a mute point.

Question;

When the snorkel tube is elevated, is the sub supposed to automatically run on diesels?

Mine still runs on electric motors, I still run out of oxygen, and Co climbs.

My depth is at 10m.

The mod is installed last.

I'm running this with the "Sub exhaust testing" mission.

[Magic1111]

Is the Version v1.1.0 in the UI-MOD 6.7.0 included or the first release version ? :hmmm:

Once the snorkel tube is elevated and your depth is in the range for snorkeling the game will automatically switch over to diesel operation. It will also automatically start recharging batteries. Walk back to the diesel room and verify the diesels are running (you'll see the diesel animations are enabled). It is a game bug that O2 levels decrease and CO2 climbs even when snorkel elevated. This requires digging into .exe and .act files to fix which will take time to do.

[ETsd4]

Thank you very much for your great work TDW.

These are the implemented condtions for snorkeling for SH3 and coming from the SH3-community:
- Wind speed = 0 - 5m/s: Uboat speed restricted to "1/3"
- Wind speed = 6 - 10m/s: Uboat speed restricted to "slow"
- Wind speed = 11 - 15ms/s: Snorkelling not possible.

So there will be a speed-difference between using the electic-motors or the diesel-engines and a speed-restriction in conjunction with the actual weather-condition.

Good info. Will be tricky to limit snorkel based on weather though :hmmm:

[TheDarkWraith]

A little warning when using the snorkel: The maps will NOT show you the warning circle for visual range or radar range when the snorkel is raised and the periscopes are down and you are submerged. Thus you have no way of knowing whether the enemy has detected you or not visually or with radar. It's best to stay as deep as possible thus limiting the amount of the snorkel exposed above water to limit detection. The further the snorkel raises up above the water the more likely the enemy will detect you. If you raise a periscope just above the water you'll be able to see the visual detection circle to see how close you are to being detected with the snorkel raised.

Your biggest problem will be airplanes. As you get no hydrophone contact line for them you have absolutely no way of knowing when an aircraft detected you and is beginning an attack run until after the fact (snorkel raised and periscopes down while submerged). Suggestion: rise to periscope depth and scan horizon frequently for airplanes while snorkeling.

Post #1 now describes the preferred loading sequence when using this mod with my FX_Update v0.0.18 or later. If you are using an earlier version of FX_Update then this mod (Uboat_Snorkel) has to be enabled after the FX_Update mod (which will lose a lot of functionality in FX_Update).

[Magic1111]

Yes, version 1.1.0 is in my newest version of my UIs mod (v6.7.0)

Thx for clearify TDW !!! :up:

[Sepp von Ch.]

Looks very good, thank you very much (and for stand alone version too TDW!).

Only one iusue with the snokel is the length, when lowering snokel, the pipe exceed the boat's body.
How can I use 3D tool to cut a part of snorkel?

you can't because it's a GR2 file.

you can't because it's a GR2 file.
thanks again.
Another question, I'm not very comfortiable with the time compression key Num+ and Num-, because i use laptop.
thus, I'd like to rearrange the key to "Q" and "E"
So, what's the code for Q and E in commands.cfg? I check the ASCII table but couldn't sort it up.
Appreciate adv.

[saintpietro]

ignore the last question.I have found them in comands.cfg.
Anyway, your work are pretty awesome. keep good work!

What happens if my UIs mod (v6.7.0) is the only mod enabled in JSGME? Do you still have the same problems?

The CO2 still increasing and running out of O2 with snorkel raised in game bug that requires digging into the .exe and .act files to fix.

Once the snorkel is raised and the sub is underwater it should automatically switch over to diesel operation.

[Vorkapitan]

Thanks TDW, all is well!

[TheDarkWraith]

Thanks TDW, all is well!

what was the problem :06:

[Vorkapitan]

Me...was the problem.

I misread your explicit instructions and thought that all I had to do was click the icon "go to snorkle depth" (far left screen). I never saw the icon to "raise the snorkle" (mid screen) :damn::damn::damn:.

I figured it had to be ME, because no-one else was having this problem. :oops::oops::oops::oops::oops:

[DoveEgg]

Can someone tell me how to adjust the height of the snorkel when it is in the lowered position? I'd like to lower it out of my line of sight when I am on the bridge.

I guess, as an alternative, is there a way to uninstall the snorkel from my boat? I'd put it back into service in 1944 I suppose.

Thank you.

does the snorkel use has an effect on the detection-possibility of your sub?

Hi !

Open the .sns File with Notepad (you´ll find the file in each Submarine Folder under ...data\Submarine; e.g. data/Submarine/NSS_Uboat7c/NSS_Uboat7c.sns) with Win Notepad and find this entry:

[Sensor 14]

LinkName=SCHNORCHEL,data\Objects\Sensors\UBoot_Sen sors

Now remove the semicolon from LinkName and set it before Node Name:

From the pictures I´ve seen, isn´t this a type IV snorkel that was only used in Type XXI and XXIII boats - telescopic snorkel?
Type VII boats had hinged snorkels, with the base set into an axle while the tube was raised and lowered like an arm and locked to the conning tower, when extended.

can't get that one to work currently. I was only able to get the telescopic snorkel working.

[TheBeast]

can't get that one to work currently. I was only able to get the telescopic snorkel working.
I made a new Hinged Snorkel Model that works but does not lower completely.
Maybe TDW can figure something out.

Also put together smaller Typ-XXIII Snorkel Model that does not stick out at keel level.

http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/3808/hingedsnorkelstart.jpg

Snorkel does not return to full down position.
http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/1772/hingedsnorkeldown.jpg

NOTE:
The Hinged Snorkel would replace Deck Gun. If both Deck Gun and Hinged Snorkel were installed at same time they would hit each other when Snorkel is used.
That is why all (Type-VII and Type-IX) wrecked U-boats that have been found that had a Snorkel installed did not have a deck gun.

TD when i click on the raise snorkle in your 6.8 UI i get snorkel is not available...It was calm seas and i was at snorkel depth. 11 meters actully. and when i went to an outside view i saw nothing special above the water. Am i missing something here on how to use this.


EDIT: never mind the above. if anyone else wants to know why, i read through the 6.8 version notes for his UI itself and it appears that he has disabled the snorkel for some reason. So until i find out why, guess i will leave it as it is.

I disabled it because so many were complaining about it being enabled. You can re-enable by using the options editor viewer app included with v.6.9.0 or following the directions provided in the txt file for removing the leading ;s

[redsocialist]

Amazing, thank you for coming out with this mod. I will have some trouble getting it to work with all the others, and your FX_Update etc!

[TheBeast]

When I examined the Hinged Snorkel closely in day light.
It appears the Deck Gun structure is preventing the Snorkel from lowing all the way.

I used Goblin Editor to examine the Deck Gun and the Deck Gun model does have collision model.

I will try removing the Deck Gun to test of Snorkel Lowers all the way.

[TheBeast]

The Deck Gun was stopping the Snorkle from lowering all the way.
After I removed the deck gun the Hinged Snorkle is working fine.

I went one step further. I made Snorkle Upgrade Pack that replaces the Deck Gun.
No HEX Edit required so you can use any MOD that changes the Uboot_Sensors.
Just need to make ZON and VAL files for Snorkle Model and it is ready.

New Upgrade will be available in my Equipment Upgrade Fixes v1.4 that I will be posting for download soon.

@ TheDarkWraith
Can I send you the Hinged Snorkle Model to see if you can Start Stop Exhaust depending on Depth?:06:
I spent a couple hours on this alone and I am lost in respects to implementing this functionality.:damn:
Maybe put Dial control at base of Snorkle and start effect @ -8m...:hmmm:

Now I am unable to equip the snorkel, The snorkel has been there since I got The Beasts upgrades mod, but when I try to equip the snorkel with the snorkel mod on, the snorkel does not appear on my sub, the deck gun is still on it, and it says "Snorkel not available, sir"

I am not sure what to do now.

[Trevally.]

If you use TDWs UI mod - then you do not need this one and the snorkel within the ui mod has to be added using the options editor.

This MUST be done in the bunker (not in your uboat) as it will ctd if not.
As it will add an item to your boat - you must be careful about using old saves (where snorkel was not added) as you will ctd.

So best bet is to use the UI mod and read up on how to use the options editor:up:

[V13dweller]

Is there a tutorial you could link that shows me how to install the Ui mod? I am having difficulty with it, any help would be appreciated.

[Trevally.]

There are vids sticky on SH5 page by Stoianm - they show how to use jsgme to install mods.

For TDWs UI -


download it to desktop
use 7zip to unpack download
open unpacked download and goto - \NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith\MODS\
Inside that MODS folder copy this folder - NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith
Paste it into your MODS folder made by jsgme - C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS
Run jsgme and install - NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith
:yeah:

[V13dweller]

Ok, thanks for the help on installing the UI, i have that installed :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up: , now, how do i get the snorkel to work? You said something about the options editor, does that come with the mod? or do i download another program?

Thanks in advance.

Don't worry, I managed to fix it myself, thanks for the input though.:up:

I am not sure if this radar antenna is meant to be there.
There is a radar sitting on my snorkel, it even folds down when the snorkel does. (Hinged snorkel)
(It clips through the sub though)

This is a great Program for mapping any keys you want! I encourage everyone who plays to at least check it out! Thanks go out to the creator!!!!:salute:

[Sandman_28054]

Have this, question though: once I upgraded to the snorkel, I lost my dexk gun.

Can you have both?

[V13dweller]

A good question, the snorkel does take up the deck gun spot, this limits your effectiveness against merchant convoys, because the deck gun does allow you to conserve the limited torpedo supply.

Is it possible to have both?

And what program do you modders use to create the 3D objects, like the snorkel?

[Sgtmonkeynads]

From my past experience, by the time you receive a snorkel....you won't be on the surface much. Even convoys are armed to the nutts late war.

[V13dweller]

I figured, but some ships have blind spots, and it is nice to exploit that when ever possible, but your point is valid.

[Sandman_28054]

True, but, when you use:

Uboat Snorkel for SH5 by TheDarkWraith

It is possible to have the snorkel in 1941 like me.

[V13dweller]

Sometimes, I use a mod to have early access to the snorkel, but it is not as useful as the deck gun, but it proves shockingly good when openly attacking destroyers at snorkel depth, because you can move so fast, you can easily avoid their depth charges, and it is quite fun to attack destroyers in these circumstances.

Hi lesec :salute:

If you are using TDW's UI v6.7.0 or higher, you don't have to enable this mod anymore, since the two mods were merged.

In any other case, wait for someone to reupoad it somewhere else (sorry I cannot find it on my HD)

Hello guys, I have some problems the snorkel.
I have tdw UI installed, my sub is VIIC/41 and my snorkel is telescopic, I want the hinged one.
I 've tried the equipment fix mod and even though I install the Hinged snorkel via the upgrade menu at the docs my deck gun is still there.:/\\!!
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

is there a way to change the underwater speed...because i hit 11 knots and my guy won't stop talking..then i try to slow down and it gets stuck at 11

[Jonnio]

When I try to use my snorkel, the guy says none installed. Do I need to get either a telescoping or hinged snorkel upgraded onto my boat from port?

[schnorchel]

the hinged snorkel is still not available?:rock:

Use the NewUIs MOD OptionsFileEditorViewer.exe ByTheDarkWraith located in the MODS\NewUIs_x_x_x_ ByTheDarkWraith\data\Applications folder to make changes. Then re-enable the MOD for the changes to take effect.

When I try to use my snorkel, the guy says none installed. Do I need to get either a telescoping or hinged snorkel upgraded onto my boat from port?
See below
the hinged snorkel is still not available?:rock:
The Telescoping Snorkel is a option in the TheDarkWraith's NewUIs settings that you need to enable. Some manual edit may be required. See Path info to application above.
The same thing goes for setting the maximum speed for using the Snorkel.

The Hinged Snorkel is available in Bunker as upgrade option if using the MOD Equipment Upgrade Fixes 1.4+

Hi TheBeast,

After looking into stock equipment files and into the corresponding ones modified by you for EUF, I am pretty sure that the telescopic snorkel, as well as the hinged one, could be set for being available in game from the upgrade menu, rather than having to edit (manually or through TDW option editor) the boat's eqp files for enabling/disabling the snorkel.
Updating EUF with support for TDW's snorkel mod would be a nice addition IMHO.
What do you think? Feasible?

[TheBeast]

The Telescoping Snorkel is for the Typ-XVIII and Typ_XXI though.

I have been thinking about importing either the Typ-XVIII or Typ-XXI in to SH5 as a GR2 model but some of the stuff is beyond my abilities.
Like animations for torpedo doors for example.

I also have very little experience working with models.
Someone with skills like Tomi_099 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=232342) would be needed.

I will look into adding that snorkel though.

Regards!
TheBeast

[schnorchel]

hello, kapitans,
is there a way that I can enable the hinged schnorkel in single mission by editing some files in the folder?:rock:

[schnorchel]

Use the NewUIs MOD OptionsFileEditorViewer.exe ByTheDarkWraith located in the MODS\NewUIs_x_x_x_ ByTheDarkWraith\data\Applications folder to make changes. Then re-enable the MOD for the changes to take effect.

TheBeast, great thanks for the information.:up:

[Manupug]

Hello guys,
I know that this is an older post but I have recently started playing SH5 and I wanted to use the snorkeling mod. I have followed all the instructions on the mod directions but, the directions how to create a key binding for raise and lower the snorkle are giving me some trouble.

I wanted to use something like the periscope binding but I can't understand the language that is used on the cfg file.

Does anyone have a tip to help me bind a key for the snorkle?

Thanks in advance.

Manu

It reads like stereo instructions to me.

Hi vdr1981 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=263063),
Actually,, no, Silent Hunter 5 has worked just fine. I am running Windows 7, I used Uplay (not Steam), and even the vanilla install worked great. That was about a month ago and since then I have added 7 Mods. Mostly cosmetic (flags, emblems, lifeboats), and also the Snorkel, and Darkwraiths amazing enemy AI upgrade.

This has been a fun, and stable, game. Cheers!

U-190 one day you may understand that this comment was totally wrong, for many reasons. But, then it is only after years of enjoying Silent Hunter that you may comprehend why.

Looks like the dude overestimates his work. It's funny!

On the other hand, resurrecting years old thread just to trash one of this game's most accomplished modders is kinda sad.
