NEW VERSION OF IXB&IXC Type

[fitzcarraldo]

The models are awesome, I´m trying they now. I have the GWX problems of textures with Type VII and Type II; all seems nice in the sea, but in ports I have the black textures in conning towers and hulls. It seems the GWX fix only works for the Type IX. Or is it a problem with the flotillas.cfg?

Many thanks to the modders, great work!

I can't understand what you're talking about. How about this ? I don't think that your flotillas.cfg is the reason. May be you're using my first fix that I made only for IX type ?

Thanks Kovall!

Yes, I´m using the first GWX fix...:/\\!! Did you add a GWX fix in the new U boats? Today I will try without the fix and I will report the results.

Best regards.

EDIT: NOW I SEE A NEW GWX FIX. TRYING NOW...

Many thanks!

Can I make a suggestion?

If you add new mods can you create a new thread? The OP is very crowded and needs to be a bit more organized.

Oh, OK, I forgot that the New IX mod is overwritten by MEP 4.2 visual sensors for GWX with Anvart´s FUMO mod. Sorry.

Hi guys :salute: Your work is amazing!!! :rock:




I decided to try your mod.Currently running patrol with type 7b.After this patrol want to take type 9.I downloaded from the first post Addition 1 and Addition 5 because I use GWX.Also use Waterstr+Exhaust-CombiV2.3(waterstreams by Rubini) but you say:



2 . Do not attempt to connect to the game together with the " nines " others, your favorite mods , similar to those found in our mod (eg , water streams or guns). It will lead to the conflicts





Is this means that i need to remove Waterstr+Exhaust-Combimod??? My second question is whether it is added exhaust in your mod or i need to use separate exhaust mod??? In post number #100 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2108779&postcount=100)[/URL] picture of U-532i see exhaust.

This is means that you don't need your Waterstr+Exhaust-Combimod at all. Our u-boats have Waterstream & Exhaust.

[areo16]

A couple days ago I downloaded a mod called "GermanU-boats" and I forgot where I downloaded it from or who made it.

In the .dat file the author is "mprunescu". I think its russian author, maybe Wise, kovall or Anvart?

It is a remake of all uboat models from 2 to 21. Could someone pleast tell me where I must have downloaded it form and who made it.

I am looking for a better 7 type skin. In the mod it is camo and not rusty. I like generic no-camo rusty skins. If anyone has one for this mod. I know this mod uses unique texture layout compared to stock/gwx u-boat textures.

Thanks.

[areo16]

All types of U-boats from Type II to Type XXI at present time. I express the gratitude Skwasjer, Privateer, Anvart, Rubini

Ok, guys, I found it. It is this post I am quoting.

Kovall, do you have any rusty Type II and Type VII textures for this mod?

Great models.

[Anvart]

... Our u-boats have Waterstream & Exhaust.
I always used obj_Funnel controller for exhaust.
I think it's more convenient way.
...
In the .dat file the author is "mprunescu". I think its russian author, maybe Wise, kovall or Anvart?
...
It's nick of the one member of Romania devs :03:.
... even for the new unit usually is used some existing dat-file(s), therefore it is not surprising to see the nicknames of the developers of the original game.

I am having a problem with steam smoke after installing this mod.

Screenshot :

http://i39.tinypic.com/2wnvf5v.jpg

Note the smoke of the explosion and the smoke coming out of the funnel.

Black smoke coming form coal powered vessels or factories in ports is OK.
I tried to install a smoke mod (Sobers real smoke) over this one but no results
If I remove the new IXB IXC mod , smoke returns to normal.

Any ideas?
Thank you.

Delete the Materials.dat file in the mod and activate it again.

Hi all
Last night i tried to add through jsgme the u-505 skin, but nothing happen. My boat was as at the first patrol.
Secondly i want to ask about u-45 skin. Where i can find it?

cheers:ping::sunny:

[Wise]

@nik112 After connection to game of a skin of U-505 through jsgme, check your catalog of game. If among the folders "data", "documentation", "MODS", "Support" there is a "Skin U-505" folder, it is a mistake. So shouldn't be.This mistake is the result of duplication of folders at extraction of files from archive. Be attentive.

U-45... It not skin. It is mod VIIB. One of my early works when I didn't have enough experience. :har: Therefore, I didn't want it to represent here. :) However :hmm2:, if you wish, I can lay out it in the same thread in the first post. Imperceptible the link. :D

[nik112]

Hi pal
I tried again not u-505 (sorry my mistake**its for ixc) but u-532 and its ok.
As for viib u-45 i would like to have it.
Thanks for the magnificent subs you offered to us:arrgh!::/\\!!

cheers

[VONHARRIS]

Delete the Materials.dat file in the mod and activate it again.

Problem solved without collateral damages.
Thank you

Hello Wise,
these are great news! A new type VII!
With your eye on detail and your skills as a modeller, this will be a fantastic new
U-Boat! Which variants of VII will you do?
Anyway, thank you for this early Christmas present!

All the best, Kurfürst

[nik112]

Thanks pal!!!
Great job:O::hmph:

[Wise]

@kurfürst
Which variants of VII are you planning to do?
Plans big. Types VIIB,VIIC,VIIC-41, taking into account modifications of towers and the hull (VIIC-41) by years. But, it only plans. Front of work-big. As it will turn out, life will show. Therefore, we will be limited while only to that on a screen. I.e. VIIC of a sample 1940.
Anyway, thank you for this early Christmas present!
Don't hurry, my friend! By a Christmas holiday I precisely won't be in time. ))

Hi
i have a prob with u-45. When i start a mission the 2 periscopes are destroyed. Had anybody faced the same ?

cheers:wah:

[Noctua]

No periscopes works normal, but for example my radar warning receiver
are destroyed immediately after start (no matter what sort). I think
the reason is that U-45 use an different type of Turm7b..

That's a failure in the Basic.cfg!

[areo16]

That's a failure in the Basic.cfg!

Not necessarily. It could also be a .zon file error. Ensure that your radar nodes in the .dat file ids match the ids in the .zon file. If not, then the equipment will be destroyed at mission start.

[Noctua]

@padi:
U-45 dosn't include any Basic.cfg and the "manipulation" was made via
career equipment panel in SH3.

@areo16:
i have tried to find radar-waring-receiver nodes, but wasn't able hmmm?
this one.. MODS\U-45-Rusty\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7b\NSS_Uboat7b.dat

In the Turm dat your gonna want to look for CO1 in the name of the node. That is the radar warning receiver. Ensure that it is there.

The radar warning receiver is metal poll with a basket at the top of it. The older kind looks like a pull with a diamond shape antenna at the top.

I just looked. radar warning is not in .zon. Compare your basic.cfg file with GWX and see if it is different. you may have a modded basic.cfg. Use winmerge to compare files.

[Wise]

I don't need it... I don't need it... I don't need it .......... I NEED IT!!!!!!!!! :up:

Are the links on the main post for the IX or for the Merchant?"M04B-MX04B", "U-45" are separate mods. They have no relation to IX. To mod of "NEW VERSION OF IXB&IXC Type" are related:
Addition№3. (Skins)
Addition№4. (Narrow-IXC-40)
Addition№5. (FixAllSubGWX)
P.S. Mod "U-45" I don't recommend to use at all. I presented it only at requests here. It is my first inexperienced work. There are a lot of mistakes. Besides, in the future (I hope), there will be new U-45 which it is possible to see on screens in the subject "The types VIIB, VIIC,VIIC-41 from 1939 to 1945".

[WilhelmSchulz.]

I noticed when starting a new carear in 44 that the 1st gen radar that's given to you spawns itself where the rotating radar would go.

[Wise]

I noticed when starting a new carear in 44 that the 1st gen radar that's given to you spawns itself where the rotating radar would go. It is in this situation difficult for me to judge.
Possibly, you play GWX.
In the mod IX the Basic.cfg files. and Sensors.dat. They are strongly interconnected and adjusted according to historical data. As far as I know, similar files in GWX have other settings.
Perhaps, you made the changes to ours mod. For example, you removed our files, or made their adjustment on the discretion. Or, perhaps, after mod IX, you included any another of fashions in which also, there are above-named files, and they blocked themselves files IX.
I can only recommend strongly to use files mod IX. Not to make to them any changes and attentively to read instructions of Readmy. Otherwise, adequacy of work mod IX isn't guaranteed.

[WilhelmSchulz.]

Ok so its a CFG conflict between GWX and the mod. Thanks Wise.

If you're referring to the radio(?) antenna positioned to the left of the turm, I see no way of raising it either. However these models are too good to not use, because the antenna doesn't work.:arrgh!:

First of all, thank you so much for these amazing looking Type IXs.

Secondly, I have read the whole post and instructions, but have some questions regarding some stuff I am not clear about. I would appreciate if someone can help me:

1. The merchant models (M04B related files) are for a specific mod or can they be used by anyone using GWX etc.? If so, which merchants do these replace? like in GWX we have small/medium/large merchants, and large cargo, etc.

2. I am not sure what the author is saying about issues with Turms for IXs... I have IXB at the moment in my current career, with IX/1 Turm. But I plan to get the IX/2 Turm and so on as they become available. Am I suppose to skip the upgrades? or what am I supposed to do for missions (not that I play missions much)?

3. The additional skins are for all types of IXs? or only for one of IXB/C/D2?

4. Does this mod include IXD2 as well, as its mentioned somewhere in the Turms section?

5. Whats the 'Narrow IXC'? Is it an alternative skin for IXC?

6. (Edit) There are Basic.cfg and Flotilla.cfg files in this mod, why do i need these? (I have modded basic.cfg, so don't want to mess with that and will Flotilla.cfg file mess with my GWX install or existing career)

Thanks for all the help.

1. The merchant models (M04B related files) - it's standalone mod and you can use it wherever you want. It's medium cargo
2. If You plan to get the IX/2 (IX/3) Turms as soon as it become available in carrier - you'll have no problems. But in single mission you should use a boat of the same year as the year of the mission
3. IXB, IXC
4. Yes,it is
5. This mod covers original IXC ( use it after 43 )
6. Basic.cfg - changed the dates of the appearance of boats' type and equipment. Flotilia.cfg - you can use yourown file (but possible that in your flotillia.cfg at the start of the prescribed type of boat that is not yet in the Basic.cfg)

Thank you for the explanations. I removed the basic.cfg and flotilla.cfg files, as well as sensors.dat from this mod.

Regarding the sensors.dat file, I am currently using slightly modified GWX sensors.dat (for 20km MEP V5), and don't want to replace that without knowing what changes are in this mod's sensors.dat or how would that effect my game. BTW, why is the Sensors.dat file so big in this mod? its like 30 MB compared to the 1MB regular sensors.dat file?

Thanks and regards.

BTW, why is the Sensors.dat file so big in this mod? its like 30 MB compared to the 1MB regular sensors.dat file?
Sensors.dat file 30 MB because, better textures and models are used there. Besides, in it introduced additional textures and models which aren't present in the original Sensors.dat 1MB file

Thank you for the reply Wise. Great work on the IXs mate.

Is there a GWX version for your Sensors.dat? I don't want to mess with the GWX settings.

Thanks and regards.

[Wise]

Unfortunately no. I have no GWX and I never used it.

Hi all.
Am back, because... because a Good game does not get kicked in the Trash bin.

I am very excited because i have found this mod - Thanks Wise & all your friends, team mates and collaborators.

I base my game(+mod packs) on the GWX super Mod (nostalgia)

The "nine" is for me the only submarine that i consider worth playing... :yeah:
the "two" is for training, :know:
the "seven" is a classic, but i do not like classics...:shifty:
the "nine" is where i am at home.:rock:

so i was finally able to try the "B-nine" in GWX and... first: argh! No! two submarine Models create visual problems. :down::down:

...very :D... then very :wah:

But i see you guys have also gone, and changed the "problem created by GWX" (+ lot of controversy)
so i installed the "fix for GWX"...

Submarine Porn!
This is one of the "instant Classic" mods for me.

On the controversy subject:
GWX was BIG.
i think today in 2015 it still is.
i do not think in terms of "responsabilities" but i think in terms of "distribution" and "effectiveness"
I think it is smart, and it is effective, to make small(?) adaptations to bring the "nines" to many many more installations (multiply by 2, by 3...5...10?)

so thank you for the nines.
And thank you for the effectiveness to push the nines into many GWX installs around the world.

:yeah::rock:

[RushTheBus]

How did you get this puppy working w/ GWX?

[HundertzehnGustav]

just as they saidin the readme file...

grab the boatput her in your jsgme folder.
grab the "fix" put it in the jsgme folder

activate.
Bam.

i, i did itin another way, because i know this boat must stay in my game... at all cossts.
so i installed the "nines" and the "fix" directly, not via jsgme.

after 4 years away from this, i got it right the first time, too, so it really aint complicated.
top notch customer service.

[RushTheBus]

I understand the installation instructions and everything. My concern is that apparently this overwrites GWX files. I'm curious if you have discovered any issues playing w/ GWX and this model as the OP doesn't have GWX to test.

[HundertzehnGustav]

well i am still in 40, August, messing around in the channel and watching the Lolwaffle go nuts on anything british... - and still in W'hafen, so i havent encountered an AI IX yet.

this fix, if i understand right, does one thing: separates the AI IX from the human IX.

so the AI IX will continue to use the "stock"[gwx] models, while you get the updated stuff.

at least that's how i interpreted my last visit to the museum. :)

See posts 322-328 above in this thread, you'll get an idea which files may be removed from this mod prior to installation without effecting GWX files (the ones that matter, not the graphics related stuff).

[RushTheBus]

I just want to confirm the instructions to ensure GWX compatibility (i think i'm confused due to the wording of the OP).

If i'm understanding this all correctly:

1) Download Addition #2: New Version IXB & IXC

2) Download Commandscfg.rar and extra the commands.cfg to the CFG folder of the New Versions IXB & IXC mod.

3) Download FixAllSubGWX

4) Enable the New Verions of IXB & IXC via JSGME

5) Enable the FixAllSubGWX via JSGME

[RushTheBus]

Thanks for the confirmation Wise. Is there any particular order in terms of mod soup this should be in (ie: towards the bottom, etc)? Thanks again for this stunning work.

[Wise]

Is there any particular order in terms of mod soup this should be in (ie: towards the bottom, etc)? At first FixAllSubGWX, after, New Version IXB & IXC. And before it to place commands.cfg to the CFG folder of the New Versions IXB & IXC mod.
But, apropos FixAllSubGWX...as I said in the first post, it is extremely recommended to replace wrong files in GWX directory tightly(unassisted JSGME), since errors of these files influence not only textures and models, but also for operation of navigation devices.

[RushTheBus]

just re-installed these as i got the IXB in my career and now just constant CTDs :oops:

[Wise]

@ RushTheBus Do, please, screen JSGME

[KaleunU83]

Is it possible to use the MODs for LSH 2015? Thanks for your help!!

[Wise]

I don't object. Good luck.

This might be totally the wrong place, but I've been searching for the past two hours.

What are those 4 tubes on the conning tower?

Question, where do all the russian modders hang out for SH3?

What russian forum is good for sh3 mods?

I'd like to talk to a few 3d modellers like kovall to ask him some questions.

Thanks.

[areo16]

what questions?

My questions concern exporting GR2 files from SH5, and importing them into S3D for SH3.

I can export them using GR2 editor. I then know how to extract the uv2 map channel 2 using 3ds max. But, here is the problem:

I am trying to export the SH5 VII aft torpedo room. It has 13 subsets in one obj file. When I export it in GR2 editor it comes out with .obj file, AO .obj file, and then the .mtl file and the textures. I then convert the AO .obj into uv2 files using 3ds max. But this splits up all the subsets into each part. So now I have 1 .obj file base from GR2 editor, and then all the 13 uv2 files from 3ds max. How to I import one subset at a time using their corresponding uv2 file?

S3D says the vertices do not match up between .obj and uv2 file, because the uv2 files are smaller because they represent each individual subset, while the .obj file represents all 13 subsets in 1 file.

Make sense? The problem is the subsets.

Could you post the steps please? A tutorial perhaps. Thanks! :salute:

We need VII aft torpedo room for SH3. If i could just get the models in S3d with uv2 mapping, I know how to do the rest for nodes and controllers and such.

I'm a programmer not a modeller. I'm just surprised no one hasn't imported the SH5 afttorpedo room into SH3 yet.

And if I try to split the .obj file into subsets of 13 .obj files and try to load into S3D, I get error "Start index cannot be less than zero." So I don't know what to do. The only way I can import into S3D is to have 1 obj file with the 13 subsets in it. But having this I cannot import uv2 files beccause of the vertices do no match because they represent only 1 subset.

which file you are interested in ?

NSS_Uboat7a.TRA.GR2 ?

[areo16]

which file you are interested in ?

NSS_Uboat7a.TRA.GR2 ?

Well, NSS_Uboat7c.TRA.GR2 first. 7a is not as popular.

I have good news. I got it in S3D. These are my steps:



1. Export meshes using GR2 Editor version 1.1.272, with textures.

2. Extract each subset using 3ds max to individual obj file. Make sure textures are found on import.

3. Extract each subset AO using "Unwrap UVW" in 3ds max to individual uvw file.

4. Rename uvw file to "object file name"-uv2.uvw

5. Create node in S3D with label exactly same name as obj file and import into S3D. Make sure textures are found on import.

6. Success with convert from SH5 GR2 to S3D obj with uv2 mapping!:rock:



But now I have other problem. I am having a hard time matching up the ambient occlusion and Normal\Bump textures in S3D. I know what textures that go with each mesh as they are listed in the .mtl file. But in mtl file exported from GR2 Editor is listed for example this format:

map_Ka (base texture?)
map_Kd (base texture?)
map_Ks (base texture?)
map_d (ambient occlusion?)
map_bump (Normal\Bump?)
bump (Normal\Bump?)

Am I labeling them correct? Ka, Kd, Ks = base texture. d = AO, bump = Normal\Bump ???


Problem: Ambient Occlusion texture is rendering black for mesh. Or the ambient occlusion is appearing on surface wrong. Or mesh will appear in game with only base texture and no AO.

Thanks.

EDIT:

fixed AO texture problem. You have to invert normals in 3ds max for AO obj, before the Unwrap UVW. Now everything works great!

Cheers!

[HanSolo78]

Sounds like a breakthough :up::up::yeah::rock:

[areo16]

which file you are interested in ?

NSS_Uboat7a.TRA.GR2 ?

I do have one question for you about too many texture coordinates on S3D import. I sent you a PM.

Oh, and I tried optimization in 3ds to reduce coordinates, but this screws up the ambient occlusion texture. What is the remedy?

Thanks.

[HanSolo78]

@aero16

Dont see a PM with your question.
In case of too much data fir S3D you have to split the data in more .dat files. Make nodes and combine them with the parent IDs.

PM sent to kovall.

I'm talking about .obj files. Too many texture coordinates. I'd have to split the meshes into multiple parts. What is the easiest way to do it when there are many little items in the meshes and selecting the exact same vertices for both base and AO is nearly impossible.

Yes it has been in CCoM since v8. I would guess that is one of the reasons why flakmonkey stopped working on his mod, its been done.

In readme of this mod is written that it's "nearly finished".
So, is it completed and fully functional or need some polish by creators?
I'd like to use it, looks wonderful.
