Introduction


it was a long time before I returned here just to find that the core people that I knew once are still here rolling and pushing this community ahead, I remember the days I started working on Mods and the help that I've got here to improve and develop better stuff, those days are gone but not forgotten.

What makes one return, or one day start cleaning his PC desk and finding things like GWX CD, or Mods that one downloaded or a CD full of his own works just to feel how great those days felt, the fun of creating stuff, the joy of playing the game, just to see a simple game with good based gameplay turn into a fever and from there to a totally better game in every detail...

For those little things I've returned, facts are facts, and since I installed again SH III in my PC, the same "fever" returned as whel and here am I again along side with people and friends that I know for a long time and that I missed a lot !



Times changed

Yeah, they changed a lot !

The fact is that lots of things changed since those days, so the Mods and people , we grow up, we get different likes and most of us changed life and life style, family , kids, all that have changed , but the love for this site and game didn't, why I can not say, I gladly see that new people are coming in, new blood and new moding chances, new styles new everything for this game...

...You guys the younger ones don't know the impact that for example flakmonkey new interior (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=201502) had when it came out, and now we have those plus torpedo and rest compartments...

All this is important , to show you guys what its done, and most important what can be achieved by a group of people when they decide to do or change something...


My working Plans

After a couple of days playing , the same fever that got me into modding in he first place made me decide to do it again, so I will start with a rather simple Mod a Wide Screen 1920 x 1080 resolution in game menus and screens Mod...I have been assembly notes and resources, data and information to do it for 4 or 5 days already, and still need to get some more stuff and return to what I knew at the time of my last U-Boat III Alpha Version, but I am almost there...some stuff that I thought it was lost wasn't after all just hidden from my eyes and after finding those things everything turned a lot more easier..



So hold on there guys...Cause the rust is being removed and this U-boat is getting ready for again sail to the Atlantic Ocean !:arrgh!:


Present work done or almost completed

You can fix it via copy&paste from my post, I check it several times, is without mistakes! :D

[Magic1111]

I saw that only needs fixing this one

Marineflugabwehrschule Swinemünde

No, the first had a little "l" lehrdivision is false. Right: Lehrdivison (big L)

Second: Schiffsartilerie...only with one l = false! Right: Schiffsartillerieschule..(with double l in the middle)!

And the last two ones are okay!

No worries...LOL

I'll fix all the text and that is a fact !:D

[fitzcarraldo]

Could you change the colour of the main map to a more rusty look? I use Pascal Map mod with Anhenerbe GUI and works fine. It has a rusty brownish look.

All looks great and very nice!

Tomorrow I will send you the promised HD images.

All the best.

Dev Notes

I decided to change the all graphic cause it had errors when loaded in game that I do not want and dislike.

If you guys watch carefully in the level of the Pen and scrapbook there in a loading problem that makes the 2 Academy TGA files to load out of place, I am correcting that and also the all graphic cause I decided it was to much populated with stuff and wanted to resize some objects I added in this graphic to fit better the all screen !

Magic1111 Told me and pinpointed me to some errors on the Exam text menus that I have corrected in this dev, now its written correctly I hope !

Yes, now all is correct! :up:

But another suggestion or wish from me: IIRC that I had readed that you plan to change the original Ahnenerbe Wide GUI Menu_1024_768.ini in a few entries for your MOD.

But that´s a pity, because I (and I think many other players too) use an own modded Menu_ini File! :timeout:

For example I play rowi58 Big MOD CCoM with Ahnenerbe Wide GUI customized for the CCoM Big MOD.

It means, after release I can´t simply activate your MOD, because it overwrites me the Menu_ini File.

My wish is, that you insert a Readme for all changes in regarding the menu_ini File, that we can change it in our own menu_ini.

I hope you understand and know what I mean my friend? :oops:

Best regards,
Magic :salute:

But another thing :D in regarding your post #34:

At the Bottom of the certificate there is a stamp with the "Reichsadler" (imperial eagle), but without a swastica in the circle?! An empty circle looks a little bit funny....:haha:

My question is, can you please insert in all stamps a swastica in the round circle, that we have a highest possible historical accuracy! :yeah:

Dev Notes

I decided to change the all graphic cause it had errors when loaded in game that I do not want and dislike.

Ok My friends this is it !

Fixed various stuff to fit the all screen properly Some objects had wrong dimension or size and made the all previous Academy screen look a bit weird for me so, I have taken of some of those objects due to over populated screen and decided to add some new ones and restrain the number of those objects in the screen...

The new objects on the screen make the all thing now look a lot more realistic I think, Added the Map and reduced the size of the scrapbook and changed the color of the text on it to look like Pen ink text , ( Very cool text thought it was translated with on line Google transl. ) Added a different pencil and the watch that took me 4 hours to do based on a online original German WWII relic watch, on the open archive file added the Nazi stamp and Kriegsmarine title , corrected the exam Nazi stamp that was missing the Swastika on it ( Thanks for that Magic1111 ) and that is all ...

Looks very, very nice, I like it! :up:

But another suggestion (see your Post # 40, picture 2):

- Possible to bring the Text "Oberleuntnant z.S. Johnathan" (here as example) more centrally? :hmmm:
It is a little bit too wide on the left side!

- German translation for the text on the little book:

Left side:

Heute Navigation

[I would it underline as a heading]

Dauert 8 Stunden, und später Waffen Kunde.

Right side:

Mein erster Tag in dieser Akademie, hoffentlich erhalte ich gute Noten in allen Prüfungen und bestehe den Lehrgang.

Does any one haves any idea where is located the commands or in Menu.ini the entrances to change the position of the loading bar ...

Yes, but in none of these files mate!

The problem is, that the fixed resolution of 1920x1080 in the Ahnenerbe-Mod (all other Wide GUIs have 1360x768) the loading bar in the center slide, as you see in the screenshot.

For this you must edit the sh3.exe, because the position of the loading bar is permanently programmed into the sh3.exe!

Then I can only try to change the graphic loading bar image to look smaller !?


Cause I have no idea on how to edit the SH3 exe ..:hmmm:

[Magic1111]

Cause I have no idea on how to edit the SH3 exe ..:hmmm:

A Modder in our german MarineSims Forum is working on a compatible version from Ahnenerbe GUI MOD for CCoM Super MOD. He is the Modder, and I the tester.

But it is no official release yet.

So, the modder wrote a little program for the compatible Ahnenerbe GUI for CCoM, that I can patch the sh3.exe (similar h.sie Patch). After patching the loading bar is at the same place as in stock SH3 game when we use Ahnenerbe GUI.

But unfortunately I can´t give you the patch, because it is unofficial (license Problems, etc.), but even if I give it you, you must put the Patch into your MOD and each user must patch the .exe before he can use your MOD.

That´s not possible my friend!

Sorry, and best regards,
Magic :salute:

No worries matey...I make trials and error and see if I can change the loading bar graphic itself and make it different !:up:

[JCWolf]

Loading Bar trials and testing on Wip



Hi everyone,

Been making some testing and trials with some new Loading bars for my Mod...

My objective is to reduce the loading bar to minimum so that we can see the loading progress without being so big loading bar as it is now....maybe I can make a new loading bar just with a new graphic , so far I manage to change it for different ones but I want a line not a full bar as we have now !


So be patient guys ! :up:

[Magic1111]

Hi Mate!

Any results after testing? :hmmm:

Hi Mate!

Any results after testing? :hmmm:


none brother none...Just some different loading bars however manage to make some a lot thinner then any of the actual ones ...:up:

[JCWolf]

Decided to move on to new screens ...


Made a couple of thinner Loading bars that I'll use with this Mod but the relocation of it was impossible , without editing the SH III Exe its impossible and since I have no idea on how to do it it will load on the middle of the screen as it is now but a lot more thinner and stylish taking a lot less screen to load....

:salute:

hello JCWolf,

an idea is to make a totally transparent point.tga and eliminate,that way, totally the ingame loading bar.
i don't believe that anyone is looking at the loading bar since ,as you know, is not accurate at all.
imo, it is a useless bar and nobody will miss it

:salute:

Hi my friend!

It is possible that you made "a special Version" from Loadingscreens for me? :oops:

Because as you know, I use the little (unofficial) patch to bring the Loading bar in the stock game position in the Ahnenerbe Wide GUI.

What I wants to have is the Loading Screen with the Loading Bar in Stock Position. The same as you would make your MOD for Stock game....:oops:

Do you know what I mean?

Thx in advance mate! :salute:

In what resolution matey !???

And is it just the loading bar !???

If its the loading bar I can assemble a file for you today ...

If its anything else I can make it without any problem but after finishing this one if its OK for you !?

I'll make an invisible point File and will keep this one I've made as optional !

In 1920x1080, but the loading bar at the same place as in stock game!

That is what I was trying to solve in this resolution but apparently its only possible by editing the SH3 Exe file and I have no way and knowledge to do it !



I was this days fixing a way to do either that or Simply making a thinner loading bar ...manage to do the second option and now I am trying to make it transparent that is proving to be another test for my skills and knowledge again cause no matter what it still showing up on screens...:up::hmmm:


Maybe some one can give me info on this , on how to make the bar transparent since you have to make the Alpha channel for the all Point TGA file after ...it is giving me head spinnings...:woot:

[Magic1111]

No, No, my fault! Soooorrrrryyy!!! :oops:

I need for my game the loading screen in 1024x1024!

It is the Map.tga, right?

In 1024x1024 the loading screen (Map.tga) works together with Ahnenerbe GUI perfect, because through my sh3.exe fix I have the loading bar with point.tga on the right (stock) place!

Thx in forward my friend! :salute:

Map & Single missions Dev finished

Dev Notes

The previous loading screen had some images distortions so I made this one supposedly for single missions loading screen but don't know why the loading screen was always the Map one that is the normal loading screen so I've decided to make this for both actions , normal game loadings and single missions...gave me a lot of work to finish it cause as you guys can see there are a lot of new object elements in this screen...




Attention


Please be patient and do not add this to your game and post images in here or any other site before the Mod its officially released and finished...cause of that some people already mailed me to ask for the mod or where to download the alpha version of it, If this goes on I'll start posting images with embedded WIP watermark on them...and i do not want that to happen !







Hope you like this:up:

hello JCWolf,

i don't use photoshop , i am using the paint.net

in paint.net , all you have to do is selecting the whole image,then you delete it and save as ''tga'' with the same name.

i believe that a similar way must be in photoshop to do it. try googling it

[Magic1111]

Any progress JCW? :hmmm:

JC, when installing your 1920 x 1080 Resolution Mod with JSGME, can it be the first mod installed before all others?

I'm in the process of getting SH3 back on my computer.... finally. LOL I've been a long time without it and boy have I forgotten things I used to know by heart. :/\\!!

[JCWolf]

Guys have a day to go back on this finally...


Had lots of work this days and will return on this Mod on Monday this next weak...:salute:



If you install before GT182 most probably other mods that change the menu.ini will patch mine and the mod will not work as intended...



Old on in there guys and sorry about the all waiting time...real life sucks some times...but Monday I am on Holidays so starting the Mod and continuing this will be first thing...:yeah:

[HW3]

JC, I think most of us here know that real life comes first.:yep: Take your time, we will wait.:salute:

Great news JC. And we are patiently waiting.

Great news JC. And we are patiently waiting

Yes, indeed! :yeah:

I've finally gotten SH3 reinstalled on 8.1. I'm using a BenQ 23" monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080. It works fine with SH3 from what I can see so far.

Can someone explain to me what JC's 1920x1080 Resolution Mod does or will do. I apologize but yeah, I'm a bit thick in the noggin on stuff like this. I don't understand it's purpose. Especially when 1920x1080 resolution is working for me with SH3. :oops:

This mod is a series of screenies for replace the original Anhenerbe 1920x1080 GUI. You need first this GUI. When the mod will be finished you can change the screenies of the stations with this mod.

Best regards.

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

[GT182]

After looking around Fitz, I get the drift on what it does. I found the thread on the Anhenerbe 1920x1080 GUI and read about it and what it does. Much more than just running with the native 1920x1080 resolution of a graphics card. I now understand what the improvements of JC's resolution mod will make. Thanks.

[Magic1111]

Any progress JCW, or is this project canceled? :hmmm:

:salute:

[JCWolf]

So sorry ..Guys I will try to pick this one day...but My life changed , Moved from one place to another , Lost my old Job due to company Closing...and everything its more difficult now....I have no time for nothing now...Between Family, work, and free time that I use to rest and its not enough I have no time for nothing guys...I am having a breath of fresh Air this days, but I am just Tired guys...And this kind of Hobby takes time and being with your head clear...




I am so sorry guys, do not like to just leave something without finishing it...


Maybe one day I get some more of my normal life back..


Thanks for all that follow this work, I always tried to do it with love and caring for all of you..


Salutes..:Kaleun_Salute:
