Does anyone know what tools mkiii was using? I'm tempted to give it a shot myself. Not that I'd have any idea where to start.

Yes, I'm really that desperate.You could try Silent Hunter IV with Operation Monsun Mod. This gives you a German campaign in the Atlantic, with Type II, Type VII, Type IX and even Type XXI/TypeXXIII submarines.

I think he wants to know the tools that the OP was using to put the 3D models into SH5 with, not where they got the models from.

Yeah, that's about right. Although I will admit that I don't know where the best version of the Type IX model(s) can be found. SH4's model would be an option, but I had rather hoped to use these: https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/000/028/530/large/1243681_183969531786359_1484421195_o.jpg?140024326 0

The artist apparently made them just for SH5, but they're not freely downloadable. Would need to get permission to use them.

I also did recently look into using the Goblin editor and other graphical modding tools, and... yeah, I'm more than a bit intimidated. Not at all sure if this is within my realm of ability, but I'd venture to guess a resounding 'no' is in order. Help would be appreciated, but I honestly just don't think I can do it.

A type IX on mine laying duty and milchkuh mission. That would be epic.

I know right? Holy beans, I need this now. Minelaying at the entrance to Liverpool harbour in a calm moonlit sea.

But honestly, I'm more excited about just having a properly-sized fleet boat. I don't even care about the extended range all that much; it's just that the size affords it plenty of freedom that the Typ VII just wouldn't provide. More torpedoes, more spacious living quarters, higher top speed, bigger deck gun, more deck guns, an extra torpedo tube... ach ja, bitteschön.

And, I mean, the increased range is also nice. One of my favorite parts of SH5 was operating out of Dakar, so the range would definitely come in handy there. Ahh, sinking unescorted convoys off the coast of Africa... and it felt like 1 in every 3 kills I made was with the deck gun. Submariner's paradise, jawohl meine Herr'n!

...aaaand we still don't have the IX. If only mere imagination could conjure the code and graphical models necessary for such an addition.

Sad Gethy is sad.

Well one should make a totally new interior, AI crew and different looks, add different speech and questions and commands etcetera.
That being said, it would be epic if the code to this game one day was released. But hardcoded stuff in the game cannot be changed sadly. So I will keep enjoying the Wolves of Steel for now...

Yeah, so apparently they just disappeared. No word on the project since Spring of this year. I've been pondering what it would take to get the project running again, but I don't think I have the skills. And now I'm largely hoping that the exporter will solve the problem, even though I really have no idea how any of that is supposed to work.

Perhaps with Groves buying the exporter, the creation of the subs in the difficult manner ( having to bypass the original hard code ) .
This work has become redundant ..
I am hoping that that project will lead to all the fruits of Eden that we so crave .. a new sub with new interior layout and all 40+ crew members modeled .

Why not crowdfund to buy the copyright of the whole game off ubi? SH5 is a really promising game, having many great features, but they f'ed up so much. It's pathetically full of bugs. I am sure the fan community can rectify many of these bugs and make it a truly awesome game.

The Milkman

03-10-20, 06:17 PM

I hate to say it guys but this effort should be put forth into Uboot. The devs already released the SDK and have given the community modding tools. The game is rough around the edges as far as a simulator goes but it has so much potential with the framework that has been laid. You will never get to see flooding volumetric flooded compartments, food stores, updated graphice with a great game engine, and an easily modable exprience in SH5. If we has 1/2 of the modding communities effort that went into SH3 Uboot would be the last uboat game you would ever need or want.

I really hope some modders switch over to uboot. It has so much going for it I cant believe its not more popular..

Ashikaga

09-03-20, 10:27 PM

Sorry but I consider that answer a shameless plug and it is negating all the work modders have done on Sh5 and TWoS for years. It is not as if we sub gamers who love playing Sh5 all of a sudden will switch over to a co-op sub game with for now, really mediocre graphics.

I would pay for a working IX in the game. But work apparently still is going on to get it one day though I do not know where the rights management or that guy who is trying to buy the game engine coding program stand at the moment.

Hey guys, I've been sticking to SH3,...but here awhile back I got this itch to fly IL 2 again and rediscovered Battle of Britain. This sim was a leap forward in flight sims but was BUGGY as hell. So bad the developers threw in the towel.

But a small dedicated group of moders whent to work on it with HAMMERS and TONGS and created a great sim!

Maybe some one here could get in touch with someone over from there and get some pointers, who they talked to about taking over the development, how they organized their team and what kind of deal they made to finish the sim.

they might could help.

In fact they just released an addon Tobruk.

...I wonder If they need Ships to round out there sims?
maybe a trade if SH ships could be ported over?

Ashikaga

09-07-20, 12:02 AM

Not sure the Team Fusion guys could help since Ubisoft never relinquished the rights to their faulty game and TFS jas started working closely with the devs on IL2 CloD.

It went so far and they did it so well that IL2 cliffs of Dover Blitz and the Tobruk version are now official Steam releases.

But getting in touch would be a great idea!

Creating a functional IX for SH5 should be technically possible - most needed things I can think of are - or probably are - moddable. The major problem would be manpower - you can probably count all active modders creating content for SH5 at the moment on your fingers, and playable IX boat is a massive undertaking for one person.

Links to mkiii's screenshots in this thread don't seem to be working so it's hard to tell how far he got with it. Hopefully, he'll return and pick it up one day, or at least allow other modder to continue his work.

If mkiii won't return and someone would try to start from scratch, I think best course of action would be to start with non-playable IX first (like GrenSo's XXI currently in the making), then when this is finished move on to "fake IX" aka exterior of IX with interior of VII, making this playable would not be as daunting - perhaps possible for single modder - and still a huge leap forward. Then, work on interior of the boat, which would be most time consuming part.

Ashikaga

09-09-20, 04:50 PM

Well if someone can mod a new liberty ship in I see no reason why a skin graft of a IX with a VIIC/41 interior would not work. And these interiors were not so different as you might think, bar some extra width and length.

The real difference in interior layout came with the type XXI.

Afaik no GR2Edit version has any working bone creation feature.

I have always cloned bones using one of the versions included in the package I already sent you. I don't remember which version exactly, but I think that only the last four or five have the said feature broken, all the others should be good for performing that task :up:

11-04-20, 03:18 PM

most of the early versions will not open files created with the last version,
most of them crash out cloning, or report broken chains.

all except 1.1.434.1 this version just opened my ix hull .gr2, it cloned a bone, saved the file, and it opens using the last version without errors,
so after this success I created a completely new bone, saved the file and it reopens in the last version without errors:yeah:

I must never have tried this version, I just picked randomly out of the 33 versions you gave me, this time I started trying every one.

so I have cloned 1 bone, and created 3 new ones, in the same file, it opens in granny viewer, and it opens in goblin, so it seems to be working fine.

Most of the earliest versions have problems even opening stock files lol :O:

I am glad that you finally managed adding the new bones :up:

P.S: you didn't answer my question about the U-boat interior... Have you imported it already or are you planning to do it? That must be one of the trickiest parts: too many gauges, animated parts and crew animations to set up...

mkiii

11-04-20, 04:14 PM

well for a start we cannot create gr2 anims, so unless we can merge dat animations into the sub, it will be static meshes,

I spent ages trying to make the torp door+anims work for the ix without any great success.
I had started to do an aft torpedo room with 2 tubes in it. for the sake of appearances. then was going to worry about the rest at a later date.

not even looked at the waypoint stuff, although I remember "Vanilla" was doing things with them, with good results,

The main drawback is not being able to create new meshes, all we can do is subset meshes into one, and then repurpose the meshes for something else.
we can only work within the capability of the tools at hand.

I just do one thing till it works, then move on to the next problem, spend too much time looking at the big picture and its too much work.

11-04-20, 05:11 PM

well for a start we cannot create gr2 anims, so unless we can merge dat animations into the sub, it will be static meshes,

That's certainly a possibility, nonetheless recently I dealt with dat (keyframed in my case) animation using S3e, and they are a bit tricky too...

not even looked at the waypoint stuff, although I remember "Vanilla" was doing things with them, with good results

If you mean waypoints for walking crew animations, adding them should be a nobrainer (they are basically bones which can be cloned and moved around), but then, a new set of crew scripts would be required.

The main drawback is not being able to create new meshes, all we can do is subset meshes into one, and then repurpose the meshes for something else.
we can only work within the capability of the tools at hand.

This is true, but should a GR2 file not have enough meshes, there is always the chance to link a GR2 model to another model stored in another file. I have not SH5 installed currently so I can't give you more details, but there is a special controller for this purpose and I think silentmichal exploited it for his interior mod :yep:

I just do one thing till it works, then move on to the next problem, spend too much time looking at the big picture and its too much work.

You are naking a good point. Facing problems one by one is the only possible approach in this case :up:

11-04-20, 05:27 PM

I looked at keyframe stuff in the dats with s3d as well, figured I would be better getting the other things right on the ix first, before trying to learn a completely new thing.

must be the merge controller, saw that in goblin, thats what got me thinking about using the dat animations for the torp doors.

I also considered using a dial controller on each door bone, the logic being if it can move a mesh needle, it can move a mesh door also, just need to play with the numbers, to make it look reasonable....."maybe"

I looked at keyframe stuff in the dats with s3d as well, figured I would be better getting the other things right on the ix first, before trying to learn a completely new thing.

I see another problem with dat animations: the SH5 engine is able triggering the appropriate animations when the right time comes. Dat animations used in SH5 might lack support and play indefinitely (just like the imported DC racks before Vecko removed the animation stuff from them)... but as you suggested, let's face problems one by one!

Exactly that!

Yes, that's another possible approach, the main drawback still being triggering conditions for the animations to be played :hmm2:

From a realistic standpoint, no big rush here. The type VII could carry 14 'eels' and the Type IX could carry 12 internally with 10 more externally....however early on those external (steam only eels because torpedo batteries need constant servicing) were reduced to only a few as damage from depth charging and the hazards of reloading at sea(2-3 hours-long unable to dive!!??) This isn't the best quality, but here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDpNQCCsyTU rendered the concept impractical. The IX's were ordered out of the primary Battle of Atlantic theater to safer areas. 'Money (DeutchMarks) is the sinews of war' and the cost of IX's unable to function with their intended 33% increased eel-firepower is a violation of that principle both tactically and strategically.

I just don't understand why the SH3 base upgrades and purchase options are greater than its successor...

I agree with that sentiment - I suspect that they just ran out of time and money after creating full Type VII interiors. I really enjoyed playing Type IX careers in "Aces of the Deep" - and I, too, sorely miss having a Type IX in SH5. I would have even been happy with just the control room and no full interior. I strongly disagree with people who pan the Type IX as too big and unmaneuverable for Atlantic warfare - they were capable boats until the end of the war. :yep:

Work had been undertaken on this project... I don't remember by which talented modder... I suppose the project was stopped by the phenomenal amount of work that it represented... plus this game seems really difficult to mod...:D

The error message is clear. The verticies of the AO OBJ files must be identical to the non AO OBJ file. When importing a 3D model with the GR2 editor, two OBJ files are always imported that only differ in terms of the texturing and UV maps.

I don't need a consultant like you. You don't know anything about it.

What the hell have I done to you that you react like this again? :hmmm:

I just wanted to explain to you and everyone else in the forum, because not everyone knows about the meaning, the message of your screenshot.
Sometimes I think that you are just looking for unnecessary arguments and want to provoke.

Politeness and common courtesy cost nothing and are therefore expected around these parts if you'd be so kind.

Glad to see some life in this thread again. The progress from several years ago was impressive!

Type 9 boats are very lacking in the game. I created a model in blender, but I'm having trouble importing it. I will try to solve this problem.

Blender exports obj files TDW's program don't like.
You need to adjust them with Notepad++ (fastest way)

Plus use a newer version of TDW's program.

:agree:

But this can still take a lot of time. It always depends on the size of the OBJ file and the number of subsets. Because the OBJ file can have several hundred million or more lines.

@OLZS if this is the case, I might suggest instead of editing any file multiple times manually using notepad, if it's a repetitive process just create a simple script file to do it for you. It would take the human error element out of it and make it more efficient (plus you could upload it quickly here in subsim mod downloads for others).

I can certainly help with throwing that together for you, if you can explain what needs to be changed in a few paragraphs here. In CMD or python or whatever.

But I'd recommend explaining it to chatgpt and it can throw it together for you in any syntax.

(note: I don't fully understand the context of this topic, nor what needs to be changed, but I'd love to help if possible)

I'm thinking you are talking about the Blender files needing adjusted for TDW's program?

That I can explain for you and Yes it can be done as you suggest.
Myself? I have a Script for 010 that will adjust files. But 010 is not Free.

Let me know if this is what your interested in doing.

Tbh, I'm not quite sure what I'm referring to. :) There seems to be a repetitive process requiring notepad manual editing? Seems like it is binary data? This I can help with automating.

If you're able to explain the steps you do manually, and provide an example file and maybe even an example output file, I can help throw something together. If that makes sense. I hope I can help.
