Hey guys, I was watching the movie Das Boot earlier and noticed how they have bunks in the forward torpedo room along side with the torpedoes. I was wondering if there is any existing mod out there that activates these bunks and adds more people to the bunks. Or I was hoping this would be a suggestion for any willing modder out there that would be willing to make a mod like this.

The bunks are already modeled in SH5, but they are modeled in "stowed" position. I like the idea of the "crowded" torpedo room, but I wonder how much more memory the extra crew would take up. I second the request for a busy torpedo room so long as the mod is not a memory hog.

I was thinking about maybe having the bunks in their unstowed posistions and have maybe just a few added people to the bunks. Maybe even having the people talk with each other or something like that if possible.

More crew has been worked on:yep:

See here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=186373&highlight=more+crew+love) for one version and here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=183661) for another.

These are still WIP as there are a few issues to try and fix with them.
When you call "Crash dive" and the crew starts running to the front of the boat, if you give another order before the animation has finished - they get confussed:hmmm:

Im sure TDW will look at this again - but his list of to do jobs must be huge:D

Good topic.

The whole interior environment needs to be redone. Animations, crew, objects to make it more 'lively' and less 'static' and redundant. Mini games and occupations would be welcome also. Lights control switch between blue, red, withe, green.

If the bunks are lowered they'll look pretty funny when the crew is reloading torpedoes. I would require a new routine so they could be stowed when reloading. This would require more work and more memory.

Having the bunks stowed while reloading is a good idea. As I have said before the sacrifice of having only a few people in the bunks/around it could make up for the bunks' memory use. However, the idea of mini games just adds a whole new load of memory use and doesn't seem necessary, but good idea by the way.:yeah:
