Key features:

- For the first time ever SeaQuest in SH 4!!! :)
- Career ready
- 200 torps/ missiles and 10 torpedo tubes
- Speeds up to 70 knots submerged
- JSGME Ready

Just one thing :)

Don't order your boat to dive or surface when going 30 knots and faster

[bloopgun]

Is there a download link for it yet or you just showing off?

[Popeye the Salior]

What is in the launch bay????????:subsim:

[Lt commander lare]

Can you release a trial version so we can play it until you release it complete thanks.

[hawk2495]

I love the WSKR place holders. Now kick her up to 160 knots and all will be well... The Japanese never stood a chance. She should also have a very small acoustic signature given she's using essentially a really super cool version of a caterpillar drive. I absolutely love the show. Shame they pretty much killed it with season 2. This is a boat I've always wanted to see built irl. She would be the undeniable master of the seas.

[Doomgiver]

i want it

[Lt commander lare]

Can u post any new pics or videos of the seaquest


Lt Commander Lare

[Marka Ragnos]

Nothing new for the moment, there are some details i'm working on mostly renaming stuff and the sh4 menu

this mod will never be finished because there is so much i would like to add.
However at some point you just have to release what you have :)

I'm hoping this month, i have used the ohio mod as a starting point so i have to ask permission before i release it. I also used the missiles and torps that were included.

[Lt commander lare]

Great thanks marka for the update that's great news.


Lt Commander Lare

[Lt commander lare]

Hi marka do you have any pic updates on seaquest you can share
thanks.


Lt commander Lare

[joefremont]

Looks good so far. From the pic of the boat on the surface I think she is too blue. She should be more of a blueish gray.

[Lt commander lare]

Hey marka any new updates on the seaquest.



Lt Commander Lare

[Marka Ragnos]

i got permission from tomagabriel to use his mod so it wont be long now.

I'm moving to a new place and it's suddenly moving alot faster then i imagined.
But i'm still hoping this week or next week!

[Lt commander lare]

Great news thanks for the update.

Lt Commander Lare

Today is your lucky day :) check the first post for a beta download link enjoy
please post any bugs or suggestions

[bloopgun]

well, I have no bridge or periscopes at all, so that might be something to work on

[Klaus]

Periscope depth looks as something like 36-38 m, use pg up/ ctrl pg up to raise
But it seems not having a damage system and weapons did not work, just going to bottom, or maybe has a maximum speed for launch, i will try again
L.E. weapons work, ship speed at launch was too big

[Lt commander lare]

hey marka this is fantastic I even made a general quarters sound for seaquest from the show great job thanks again.


Lt Commander Lare

[Marka Ragnos]

i have installed it on 3 different computers and no problems regarding that area
the periscope itself is invisble because it would be weird on the sea quest.

But it should work and the bridge is standard stuff nothing changed there

I forgot to mention that you are correct torps don't work at high speed
the game was not really designed for this speed :)

I use it on standard sh 1.5 uboat, with jgsme. when I get into it the scope models inside the ship just randomly jump up and down, the buttons to actualy raise and lower does nothing, nor can I switch to either scope view. There is no bridge while surfaced for me at all. Conning tower interior is there, and sub interior.

[Marka Ragnos]

i'm working on a second version of the seaquest and it will get some new features.

- New skin for the seaquest
- An overhaul of compartements
- Plasma torpedoes you can choose between 25, 50, 75, 100% damage
cripple a ship or blow it up nuclear style :)
- a mission designed for the seaquest
- new sounds... i'm watching the dvd's it's hard to find a solid engine sound without background talking or music.
But it will happen

Here are 2 new screenshots

The look of those torpedoes are still a wip :)

[Marka Ragnos]

You using another mod with it? That sure doesn't look like stock land.

[Marka Ragnos]

i always use TMO :)

[jhapprich]

nicely done, but i think you should increase the hp`s of the engines, as the seaquest accellerates rather slowly! great6 job on the hull paint, i loved that series back in the 90`s! thanks for that mod !

Nice to get a compliment from the man behind the cold war mod ;)
Good idea to increase the hp it's already done now :)

I'm glad you like it, it was my favorite show back then

[Marka Ragnos]

Just to let you know i'm working on the seaquest whenever i have the time.
I have removed the cracking sound in the interior since the seaquest can go to extreme depths.

Instead i have added several other sounds like the closing or opening of a computer screen and pushing buttons. This does not happen constantly so it doesn't get annoying.

I also updated the sonar sound, it's pretty cool :D

I'm still searching for a good engine sound i'm currently watching the episodes again but so far the sound is mixed with music or people talking.

[hawk2495]

Season 2 episode titled "playtime". The first 6-8 seconds of the episode are pure engine noise. No WSKRS or music. Should be almost long enough for a loop.

[hawk2495]

Okay, I had to play with it. Made some minor tweaks on my end just for the hell of it. Got the old girl up to 159 knots. I tell you what, the transit from Pearl to Honshu goes by a whole lot quicker.. As they say, no pictures, it didn't happen... Well I gots videographical evidence...

http://youtu.be/OW0_nMh6Cj4

[Marka Ragnos]

i'm glad you like it :)

The ambient sound for the engines is hard to do, since there are sound differences you can hear it loop which get's annoying very fast :)

but thanks for the tip, i have something to work with

[Marka Ragnos]

Sound engine is working fine now.
Also changed battle stations sound it's now commander ford that's saying battle stations captain to the bridge

[Buddahaid]

I checked this out the other day and had some fun with it so thanks for all your efforts.

I thought you might like to see my costume I've had for years and some other prop photos. The patches on the MP uniform are authentic(save the name patch) but that hat and suit are reproduction, although as old as the show.

The prop photos are of screen used props. I had replicas of the gun and Vpal(earlier orange/silver) to go with the uniform, but I traded them away. I still have a reproduction all black Vpal like the photo and the parts to replace the traded props. I may just build those to finish the costume as I have the utility belt, holster, watch, and flashlight to complete it still.

[Marka Ragnos]

Wow nice :)

Glad there are other fans out there of this long forgotten serie.

[Marka Ragnos]

Added the following so far:

- Removed cracking interior sound and replaced with sounds familiar to SeaQuest.
- Added more HP to the engines for fast acceleration
- SeaQuest engine sound when submerged (cool!!! :))
- Replaced voices: Battlestations start/end Dive
- Depth under keel familiar seaquest ping
- SeaQuest can go well over 120 kts

Still working on it when i have the time

I want to work on her career aswell, but assignments seem random any idea on how to change that? I want 12 missions but it would be pointless if they are random :(.
