Great work! I have a question for you - do you know how to get SH4 to stop animation of the rocking arms/diesel parts when you have electric engines activated? I am working on WWI U-Boat interiors, and I am stumped with this. I suspect it's some kind of StateMachine wizardry but I don't get it - right now my options are to have the rocking arms activated all the time (including when stopped or underwater), or to have them not working at all. Neither is very realistic. Thanks! :salute:

i'm still thinking about the animation part:ping: i can't think of a state machine command that could be used for this.
if you take a look at the KSDII full interior Type2 and Type7 diesel they used a dial controller (depth?) to switch the animated object with a static one:yep:

Hello Mr. vickers03
I already see it in color:sunny: !!! so much that strikes:doh: ... I hear the "clicketie" of the rods which flatters the cylinder head :k_confused:..:damn::damn::k_rofl:
tell me I have a question for you ... according to your explanation
:Kaleun_Wink:
"Boats with poor or no air conditioning (Narwhal, SClass) will have condensed water all over the place when diving."

the other boats should also have it in the framing as well as on the walls it really contributes to the immersion I find .. and there are also the thermal differences I find that this is plausible ..:06:
but prefer this effect when diving hard on other boats when you think this is a suggestion.. thank you for all the work you have done it is really remarkable good luck
Cordial greetings KM_U669

Lovely! gives me some inspiration! What is the poly count like, and have you had any stutter? Unfortunately I haven't been able to test your stuff myself.

:Kaleun_Cheers:

I noticed that some German WWI sub motors had metal shrouding over moving parts that could be lifted off, so sometimes you wouldn't see any major parts moving. If Jeff & I can't crack the motion issue maybe I'll just give my engine room models this shrouding.

[vickers03]

Lovely! gives me some inspiration! What is the poly count like, and have you had any stutter? Unfortunately I haven't been able to test your stuff myself. thanks! it's something like ~100.000 polys (~170.000 triangles) per engine.
Everything running very smooth but that's mostly because i use
the unified render controller and only one texture map on complex objects, sometimes i use the ambient occlusion map as base texture
so i get away with just one texture channel:up:

of course i let you know when i figured out how to animate the engine.

What's up with the "SHIP_SUNK_COUNT_(SELECT FOLDER)" thing? Do I pick *one* folder and install that one? Also the SCLASS_TORPED_ROOM_NEAR_EMPTY. What does that do? I mean I get the idea based off the name, but what does it look like?

it looks like you used up nearly all torpedos and should be activated near the end of a patrol.

i found another way to control the engine. instead of "dialing" an endless animation loop
in and out of sight with a dial controller (engine rpm) i converted all the moving parts
of the engine to particle effect objects which i can now control with the state machine, this means the engine
animation will represent the actual rpm it is running on.

Ahoy, vickers03... :Kaleun_Cheers:

With that "other way", what does that mean, exactly...? :hmmm: :hmmm:

Does that, lighten the load & such... with regards to fps rate.... load time... (or perchance pray tell...) a mix/merge of those 2.?

Secondly... with that "other way" & if by chance that does indeed lighten the load & fps rate/ratio down... can that same process, be then applied to... SH3... perhaps.?

I ask this, in all seriousness... as I am truly interested... as I'm looking at ways, means, methods to slim down SH3 yet still have it load & not flat line... & on the flip side, of looking at that same possibility being able to be applied to SH4, as well.

[Nisgeis]

Ahoy, vickers03... :Kaleun_Cheers:

With that "other way", what does that mean, exactly...? :hmmm: :hmmm:

Using the State Machine controller you can assign custom animations to events triggered by 'states' of values in the game. For example, the electrical box sparks / steam damage effects are animations played when hull damage meets a certain criteria. I think they are a bit buggy, as the animation is meant to stop but doesn't. Anyway, you can take some value and if true, or over a certain value, trigger an animation. You can also trigger animations based on certain commands.

Does that, lighten the load & such... with regards to fps rate.... load time... (or perchance pray tell...) a mix/merge of those 2.?

For a very simple example, you'd have one engine model that was stationary and another engine model that was animated to move. You'd attach a dial controller to both models, so that when the RPM was zero, the static model would be within the visible area and when the RPM was above zero, the animated model would be moved into the viewable area. Obviously you could refine this with more granularity on the dial controller to have a wider ride of animated objects based on RPM, but this would mean they were all 'running' and just not visible, but still being animated. With a state machine activating the animations, you'd only see the animations when the condition applicable was reached, so yes it would result in a drop in system resources, as the engine would not be being animated (off screen) unless it was running.

Secondly... with that "other way" & if by chance that does indeed lighten the load & fps rate/ratio down... can that same process, be then applied to... SH3... perhaps.?

It would mean adding more graph states to the core game, with a StateMachineClass and would not help in slimming down (for stock).

thanks! using particle objects for machine parts is of course only the second best choice
but it works better than i expected! i wish sh4 would accept the .anm file format from sh3, that would be easy to use.

my interiors are very fps-friendly and very playable even on my 10 year old laptop - but that's because i use many models with
only one texture channel (using the ambient occlusion as main texture) and the unified render controller.

Don't doubt it... with what you said... just that... it got Me to wondering, if that couldn't be a possible means to an end, of trimming SH3 & possibly 4 down... while still retaining pretty decent looks, while speeding up load times... yet, without having the whole shooting match... crashing & burning in a sun sized fireball... in the process.

The anm files in SH3 are MeshAnimation2 files. Those CAN be converted to MeshAnimation.
It's all in this thread.......
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=1532155#post1532155

Now if you wanted? One COULD create an animation using the SH4 way of doing things!
That is a lot more difficult but in theory? Could be done!
Here's the information about that!
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2109233#post2109233

It may be possible to rip the animations from SH5 also and then create the animations for SH4 format.
I'll have to test that.

EDIT........
Yes. I can rip the stuff from SH5 to possibly do an SH4 animated Engine.
This tread has the information about ripping animations and such from SH5
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2745073#post2745073


Given all the above information? One still needs a good Hex Editor to pull it all off.
I suggest 010 as I probably have a bunch of scripts that will do the different stuff. Or could write some really fast!
I doubt anyone knows the animation formats as well as I do. Aside from the original Dev's.
And I'd bet they'd be amazed at what I figured out and can do!

well using particle generators that way does have some limitations,
for example i have not managed yet to get mesh- or keyframe animations to work with the particle objects.

the animations i use are generator sequences which work perfectly fine with my diesel
but i think it would not be suitable for complex animations:doh:

[Jeff-Groves]

Maybe not complex animations but still a different way to get some animations.
Animations scare people! So you've proven a way to do some with just S3D and not complex 3D model programs.

Excellent work with your latest movie! When you get a chance, can you please explain exactly how you use the state machine controller and particle effects for this? In detail, for the less talented? :haha: I took a look at the dials in the stock "S" boat command room interior last night, and I have some S3ditor familiarity but I was stumped as to what you have been doing. Really hoping to bring some Germaniawerft & MAN diesels to life. :yep: Thanks!

Here I paste my post in the FOTRSU thread, about issues with scopes using the interiors in the new 1.7 iteration of FOTRSU:


Merry Christmas to all! :Kaleun_Cheers:

First report about 1.7 with Vickers Interiors:

Trying with the VFBI mod installed and with a Gato class (I don´t try with others subs), I have a serious problem with the scopes:

- The F3 and O keys don´t work, and the buttons in the bar don´t work, also. I don´t have access to the scopes.

- Going to the conning tower interior, both scopes are moving up and down as crazy things. No way to calm the scopes!

I tried with and without the provisional patch. The problem persists.

It seems something in the VFBI mod isn´t compatible with the commands in FOTRSU v1.7.

Hope Vickers can resolve the issue.

Without the VFBI mod, all works flawesly.

Ok, Master Vickers. The issue with the crazy peris is due the wake scopes mod, not the interiors. :Kaleun_Salivating:

Now I´m seeing the sensors dat file searching the badass node with S3D.

Interiors with the provisional patch is working well WITHOUT the splash wake scopes mod AND using a pristine savegame folder(s).

- fixed engine not moving after plotting new course

[propbeanie]

Could that possibly be related to a key press getting stuck, which I just put off to Windows 10 "keykrapp apps"... ?? I describe it in the FotRSU thread, but I went from the Motor room, through the engine room, and all the way to the torpedo room, holding down the <Up Arrow> key, until I entered the torpedo room, where when I let go of the arrown key, just kept traveling until "out of bounds", but never could get back into the boat, so Saved, exited, re-started, and Loaded the save, and all was well in the SH4 world again. This is a wonderful looking mod vickers03, and has all sorts of potential for the future of SH4. A gradual "populating" of the interior over the next releases, including "Battle Stations" is really cool to think about. Possible more new animation sequences, etc. really bodes well for this.

[Jeff-Groves]

Might be an excellent time to finish some ripping of Animations from SH5 for use in SH4.

population change somewhat on watch changes, personally i don't
like too much guys standing in the way, KSDII Type2 full interior has this and there a people everywhere:timeout:

that would be awesome! but are the animations compatible with the SH4 guys?

[Jeff-Groves]

that would be awesome! but are the animations compatible with the SH4 guys?

I have the Tools and the knowledge to make them so!
:haha:
SH4 uses a Biped and I'm VERY WELL aware of HOW the animations are done in SH4.

SH5 uses a Biped also. Many of the Animations in SH5 are just re-exported SH4 animations but in a Granny format. I've worked with someone else to allow me to GRAB the SH5 animations in a way that I CAN import to SH4!

That would be wonderful. I, for one, would appreciate it. I can't believe the direction SH4 is taking!

[Jeff-Groves]

I've explained before how SH4 Animations work.
[WIP] Animations For SH4 is the thread.

Now. With a different Tool and some changes to the Plug-in?
I can extract the needed info from ALL SH5 animations and build new animation info for SH4!

Now. Given one might have say the Never Winter Nights exporter?
You build a new animation then grab the information from that with other tools.
And NO I don't have that exporter! Just saying......

i've read somewhere that some boats if not all had illuminated or
self-illuminated (radium?) gauges, can someone confirm this?
would certainly look cool at night..

Not sure... but, would definitely make sense with the self-illuminating dials & such... especially if undergoing or having had undergone a depth charge that "popped" the bulbs in the room & no replacements, available to replace them... especially if that DC attack took place at just sunset or shortly thereafter.

Radium paint was used in watchmaking, it began around 1908 and carried on into the 1960s. So... watches made between these dates with glow in the dark functionality may be made with this material.

That's just, info I pulled up for watches with that type of paint.

Considering 1908, am fairly certain, :hmmm: that the dials, gauges & such... likely had that used for them, as well. :yep:

[propbeanie]

There is something on that in one of these pdf files I have... just a matter of finding them... They are online, but I cannot recall their titles... but there are four pdf files in the series, one on the Fleetboat, another on the Balao / Tench (??), one on the S-Boats... and I do not remember the fourth... might take a bit top find.

That would be interesting and quite cool at depth with the P Class when condensation forms on the instruments in the control room. Incidentally, it doesn't form on the helm instruments in the conning tower. Maybe that was an oversight.

good find! will adress that in the next updates.

[Mad Mardigan]

good find! will address that in the next updates.

Know that particularly... the S class, was a leaky sieve... that point, was driven well home, in the movie "U-571"... (despite the off handed liberalness of the story... about recovering an enigma machine... :yep:) when the skipper of the S class boat reworked to supposedly resemble a U-boat, no less... :roll: was seen wearing a rain slicker, inside the sub, no less. while at... peri depth. If I recall that scene rightly.

That, aside... could have sworn that had been included in 1 of the later interior mods from vickers... or was that someone else's mod that I am thinking of... :hmmm: of condensation/leakage, when submerged... at least with regards to the S class... in the control room, at least. No such chance for the conning tower section... owing to the fact, that an S class's conning tower... has no room left for any of the amenities that is & can be found on the follow up sub's, after it...

If not, then will eagerly & with much anticipation... look forward to that, being included... :yep: :shucks: :up:

So how do we edit the nameplates and battleflags. I assumed readmes would be included?

[Mad Mardigan]

So how do we edit the nameplates and battleflags. I assumed readmes would be included?

Editing the name plates, was discussed in the 1st page or 2, of the thread...

As for the battle flags, portion... that, is in the read me, associated with the mod 'Battleflags'.

Is but a simple process to scroll through the assorted sub classes, finding the sub you have... if it is, available (there were some that were not done or I believe... flags found for them... leading to them, not being located in the mod pack. :hmmm:)


after finding the flag pack, for the sub (provided there is 1... available... :yep:) &... activate via JSGME.

The ships kills part, finding the appropriate # of kills & activating that set of mod add in, to add your kills to the battle flag... done after completing a patrol & having racked up some kills...

There is no readme in either battleflags or fleet interiors, just rechecked the download.

[Mad Mardigan]

Ok... My bad... thought there was a 'read me' with the battleflags mod.

Selecting 1 for the sub you have is simple with selecting the class of sub 1st... in those folders, are several subs of that class... simply find the sub you were assigned & select that mod folder for the battle flag.

Can go with just the conning tower flag... or including the interior wardroom flag, as well.

The rest about the kill count in My previous post... still stands.

Is just a matter of figuring out how many ships you've sunk... select the appropriate folder & activating that, via JSGME...


As for the name plate for your skipper, can use paint.net to edit the .dds file that is located, I believe... in the tex folder... 1 of those 2 in that section...

sorry for the missing textures, already re-uploaded.

[fitzcarraldo]

Many thanks for the job, Master Vickers. I´ll try it.

Question about 4K textures (external): TMO 3D models have the upper hull holes "desynchronized" with the textures of an addon skin. For some reason, Ducimus changed something in the 3D model of the boat and never you can use a new skin in a Gato (for example), without have not coincident holes between the 3D model and the textures of the skin.

Is there some solution for it?

Best regards.

Okayyyy...think this post may belong in the TMO thread, not the interiors thread.


Rec manual looked fine before release. Ill check it over. "Scale rules" What are you referencing?

[Bubblehead1980]

Not a huge deal but the "Go to A Scope" and "Go to PPI Scope" are reversed, when click go to PPI it takes to A scope and when hit Go to A Scope, sends to PPI scope. Just noting to future versions so can be corrected:Kaleun_Salute:


Idea...perhaps a mod could be made to blank out the PPI scope for early war since PPI scope did not come around in subs until SJ-1 in late 43/early 1944

[Bubblehead1980]

Anyone else having troubles with SJ contacts no displaying on the A scope? With the fix, contacts show on PPI but nothing on A scope.

[Bubblehead1980]

Having run a patrol now with the interior mod in a Gato class (USS BARB). Just want to salute vickers:Kaleun_Salute:

[Bubblehead1980]

still problems with the radar?


Yes...The scope is green in the new version you uploaded and the line is there (difficult to read, it and PPI are different from the default TMO scopes) now but contacts do not register on the A scope, no "dancing" lines when contact is made, just sits there but they register on the PPI...As we speak im tracking a contact, but not showing up on A scope and its 1942

[Bubblehead1980]

Any chance on getting German/French flags for the wardroom? For the vessels sunk. TMO has the Atlantic campaign (SUBRON 50). I just sunk a Vichy French merchant vessel. Would be cool to put on the board

[Bubblehead1980]

Love the mod. First full patrol (currently at sea September 1943) with it in TMO. USS Cisco SS-290 (Balao Class)


The condensation on the glass is a nice touch. Wardroom with the proper battle flag...excellent.

I made another tests. The problem starts when the hydrophone dial pass from dry to condensed. Without condensations, no problem. When I reach some depth (crash dive), and the dial appeared with condensation, I cant "pick" the mouse cursor inside the dial, and the hydrophone don´t rotate manually.

Also I have the recognition manual with the scales displaced from the ship siluettes. This with and without Interiors.

Ok, ran a Gato Mid '42, outta Pearl... which I know... ain't Midway, but... that time framing did net Me access to the Gato class.

Of note, did intial crash dive after getting outside the base.

On geting to in boat (control room) on inspection of nav Map... found Myself.... smack dab in the middle between a convoy of Merchie's & their rear escorts... so to say it was... hairy, would be the understatement of eternity award winner, winner... chicken dinner award. :haha:

Ok, that aside... got clear of the esorts... & went to crash dive.

All good there... made 165 depth... no condensation, not until I cleared 200-250 range... on getting somewhere in between 2-250, got moisture on the gauges.

Trying to click on them, did end result in nothing happening... though, to be quite frank about it all... have never clicked on the sonar face, since being able to use the mouse wheel to swing that dial about any way. :hmmm:

Can use a mouse wheel to operate it... but, if a sub simmer, using say... a lappy, that don't come with a separate mouse... well... they're stuck like chuckie... flat outta luck.


Will say that My mix, is a bit... more extensive than Fitz's there... to be frank about it, vickers.

Yes. I have no wheelmouse or click inside the dials when starts the condensation. Also I have a huge list of other mods, but reduced it to "vanilla TMO BH with interiors" for the tests.

Also I noted sometimes the condensation isn't present in all dials. Sometime it is only in sonar. Sometimes it is in main gauges. My parallel FOTRSU have condensation in all the gauges (but I need to observe this better...).

I noticed that not all dials have condensation as well, Vickers stated the condensation is more present on the older boats such as S Class and Narwhal which lacked air conditioning vs Gato's etc

[Kal_Maximus_U669]

Hi Fitzcarraldo.. :salute:
I am with the "narwahl Uss Nautilus" all works perfectly ...
it is part of the wet class this one...
but there is no condensation in the tower when there should be.. but maybe vickers does not finish it yet... the wheel as well as the panel no problem here... :up:

[goldmastersims]

I cannot click S-boat’s hydrophone. Condensation doesn’t matter.

[Mad Mardigan]

Yeah... 4... while built on the bones of SH3, is NOT like 3, in that regards where it comes to sonar use by the skipper.

Being able to click on the sonar dial face to move the sound head about... was doable in 3.... NOT so, in 4...

The end result is... don't expect to do what was doable in 3, with sonar, to be doable in 4 in that department, at least... as far as I know of, yet... operative word that... YET. :yep:

Does it work with mousewheel/ and home/end keys?

[Bubblehead1980]

Okay did some testing....


Sonar does still work. However, when the gauges are "sweating", you have to use the home and end keys to rotate sonar ot the mouse wheel.


Also noticed the clickable gauges for depth in conning tower do not work when sweating. This means during evasion below 450 feet, have to go up and down the ladder to click the gauge in the conning tower, which is a bit much, since cant jump to the control room as before. Ideally would have a 600 ft 2D depth gauge on the orders bar and negate need to click on the gauge in conning tower. That would work best.

[vickers03]

i think i found a way to have condensation & clickable dials, need to move some nodes around:ping:

the next update will include a much improved first person free move,
it always bothered me in SH4 how you could walk through walls and
other interior stuff and have the camera out of sectors error.
i always thought this was not possible in SH4 but after analyzing
how it's done in SH3 WAC_5 interiors i finally got it working:yeah:

First o all thanks for many years of hard work and putting this mod togheter i was never really that interested in SH4 as a SH5 player but you single handedly making me want to buy the game.

Second thing is that the camera also bothers me a lot so after reading through all the 27 pages so far seeing that you working on a first person camera made me jump out of my chair in excitement.

So yeah thanks again and good luck as this mod, in my humble opinion, is probably one of the most important ones in this whole forum. :Kaleun_Cheers:

Just so i know, the only boat with full interior is the S classes right?

all the others seems to just have officers row and maybe a kitchen, nothing up front right?

The full interior is only for S class. For other classes you have full officer quarters to the bow, without torpedo room.

A beautiful mod.

For sure, superb job vickers:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up: :Kaleun_Applaud: :Kaleun_Cheers:

Impressive 3D work and texture one. Probably one of the best mod ever done for this sim so far. It's so much more immersive now. Many thanks for this fantastic job and to share it with us.

I manage to adapt your full S class interior to the great UK Triton class from keltos, as for his Surcouf and the Pascal 1500 ton French submarine which was developed by Amazone, a French modder. where I've used the other one with just the officers quarter

I still have some trouble with the 3D crew. Particularly with the one that is sit in front of the underwood typewriter, and the one that is seat in the officers quarter
When I dive, the 3D crew appears standing with arms outstretched on those place.
I know that I need to update the UPCG file of the submarine, what I've already done, but I can't manage to have the one that is seat. Is there a way to now the type of crew (id in the upcg config) to identify the right place and name I have to put in the UPCG to have the one that is seat in place of the one that have the arms outstretched ?:hmmm:

Thanks for help and for such fabulous mod :up:

I have him studiously looking at his station, just as intent as the radar operator, who has no radar to look at... :roll: :D

https://i.imgur.com/lzMTUGe.jpg

If I tell him to "Follow nearest contact", or any of the other commands, he does face the bow to acknowledge... That is a redundancy from the conning tower station in the fleetboats. Or have I misunderstood your statement fitzcarraldo?

The all-in-one interior will impart a hit on performance, but really should not be that great once loaded. The "technology" of the mod requires the use of just the one camera. It might be possible to "close" the hatches, but then you have to program separate rooms and cameras for each. I don't think most folks would want to attempt to mod such. You never know though - maybe someone will try it later.
As for what you are getting Huno41, is it just that one spot, looking in that specific direction? Or can you rotate about, keeping a "target" such as the ladder in view and also see the 15fps? I mention the ladder, because I notice some "smearing" of the texture on it. Try to move your camera view a pinch to the left, rotate to the right, and look through the ladder toward the opposite "corner" of the "room". :salute:

It's mostly that specific direction, if i just look to the gauges my framerate remains normal, from the other end of the control room i get around 45fps, the officer quarters however remain at 20fps no matter where i look at. I feel this might be the game that has bad optimization for AMD gpu's but i'd like to hear if anyone else with a similar setup also has issues.

[propbeanie]

It really shouldn't be the AMD graphics - it could be, but since it is a 'modern' offering, I really do doubt it. Do you have the 4Gig Patch or LAA properly enabled on your SH4.exe file? In spite of having 32gig of RAM in your machine, the game is 32-bit, and as such will be assigned to a shared "sandbox" for all 32-bit apps by Windows. As such, that is a 4gig max sandbox, and generally, all apps only get a basic 1gig portion, which they might have to share and swap with other 32-bit apps, if there are more of them running. When you apply one of the patches to the executable file, it tells Windows that the app can "flat address" the full 4Gig of RAM, which would mean the app could then use and share about 3.4 gig of that RAM area. But try looking a various angles there, and see if you can isolate what is eating the cycles there. You also should not be going so low on fps forward either...

You could also check your graphic settings in both the game and in the AMD config app to be certain you're not using anti-aliasing beyond what the game does, as well as other little "tweaks" that look great in 'modern' games, but really wastefully eat the clock in a 32-bit DirectX 9 game. Also, the resolution you are running the game at ~really~ matters. From all indications on my 4k monitor, the game's bandwidth is really stressed at that resolution, so I now run mine (usually) at 1920x1080 max, which of course, complicates other aspects of the game and computer. If I'm going to do a video, I will up the resolution because it def looks better at that size - lol... But, there is no happy medium with a 'modern' computer and 'old' DirectX 9 game any longer... :salute:

One tip, I have noticed that adding a Unified Render Controller to new 3d objects in the interior greatly improves performance. May want to try this (if you have not already)....looking forward to more from you!

yes, that's true but it doesn't work with my ambient occlusion lightmaps.
on more complex objects, i use this controller and the lightmap as the
texture channel (so you have only one texture channel). this helps a lot.

You will report immediately to your commanding officer for disciplinary actions yet to be determined. There is no such thing as "silly" in the United States Department of the Navy mister! Dismissed!!! :salute:

:har: Actually though, are you referring to the white government issue canvas cap, or the green government issue N3 Utility Cap, or the tan government issue Chief and / or Officer's Caps, or the government issued brain bucket known as a helmet? In all cases though, the crew is "dressed" with a combination of the CrewMembers3D.upc file in Data / UPCData / UPCCrewData folder, and the Data / NSS_SubName folder in the NSS_SubName.upc file in the various WatchAccessoriesFor[Adding/Subtracting]3DObjects and the various BattleAccessoriesFor[Adding/Subtracting]3DObjects entries. Those are also listed in each of the conning towers for the boats that have them in the UPCData / UPCUnitsData in the respective UnitParts#BoatName.upc files, of which there are multiple entries for each conning tower under each UnitPart # section entry. :arrgh!:

[cookiemonste]

These green canvas caps.
Are these stock to the game? I never saw them in vanilla SH4.

firstly, enlisted men were issued blue dixie cups during the war. i have photos of my dad wearing one.

secondly, and more importantly, when are we going to get BAR's in FOTRSU so we can shoot at mines!?!?!?!?!
:har:

[propbeanie]

Yes, "blue" was an onboard ship dixie cup color pre-war, but my dad did not get one in 1943 when he came in. It used to signify a sailor "on duty", correct? My dad got the whitie tightie only, which went with dungaress, whites, and dress blues, situational dependent, and he also had the Donald Duck hat with the little cut ribbon hanging on it, for full-dress blues. But his main onboard cap was the N3, which was distributed beginning in 1943. Unfortunately, we cannot "date" the clothing worn in the crew files, but we do attempt some control in the conning towers, or UnitParts files.

As for the BAR, we might be able to mount a 50cal mg to the bridge wings... have it show along with the crewman during Battle Stations... But that would be a bit of an undertaking... If there were any "commands" left, we could do an "Easter Egg" button combo that would put a fellow like that on the cigarette deck, but alas, all the slots are taken... I don't know as the game has a way to have a rifle shoot though... I have shot at mines with a 20mm, and they will blow-up from that, but man, talk about a tough chore...

[scorch092]

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to get into SH4 for the first time and figured FOTRSU would be as good a way as any to get into the game. I got FOTRSU up and running with the Nihon Maru and Nippon Kaigun mods from the FOTRSU page working as well. But I can't seem to get this mod to work. I've got FOTRSU v1.8 with the 4gb patch, as well as the upc patch and the Maru/Kaigun mods working through JSGME. I've tried changing the mod order and removing the Maru/Kaigun mods, but no luck. I also deleted the SH4 folder in my documents and don't have any old saves as I'm playing this for the first time on a fresh install (Steam version with the U-boat Missions so it should be v1.5 but I don't know how to check). The game itself will load just fine when I enable the mod (with all the other mods working no CTDs or missing textures or anything like that), but the mod just doesn't seem to activate or change anything. I loaded up a quick mission with the S-Type but it just has the normal interior with only the main room and the hydrophone room. The other subs seemed to be the same from what I could tell.

I'm not sure what else to do. The "readme" file says that this mod is for FOTRSU v1.7, but the v1.8 page on the forum links to that version and says that it should work. Was there some other installation instructions that I missed?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance! :Kaleun_Cheers:

[propbeanie]

The first thing to do scorch092 is to fire up JSGME and use the "Tasks..." link in the middle of the app window. Then click on "Export activated mods list to..." and choose "Clipboard" if you're going to Ctrl-V it right away into your next post, or "Text file" if you're wanting to copy that and post it later. Include the full report. It will include the path to your game install, and help immeasurably in diagnosing the issue.

Click on the SH4.exe file in your game folder, right-click, and choose "Properties" from the context menu, and look at the "Attributes" section at the bottom of the first "General" tab. Make certain the "Read-only" tick box is clear. If not, left-click on it to clear, and then OK out. Now run the 4Gig Patch or LAA again and see if the game runs with the mod. If not, check in the game folder, under "MODS", and see if the Fleetboat Interiors - Officer's Quarters (Fi-OQ) mod has a proper folder structure. It might be that the mod itself is a folder too deep, and is not actually being activatated. As for mod order, you would want

@Master Vickers (and all), hello!

I have this persistent issue with the sonarman. This is a Gato, but the problem occurs with all the classes in all the war. Simply, the sonarman never sees his station.

I´m living with this issue from the early war (Asiatic Fleet with pigboats), now in 1942 with a Porpoise.

This screenshot is from a launched war patrol for test, not my actual campaign. But in missions, war patrols and campaign is the same. The sonarman is misplaced.

Fitzcarraldo, that 'fix' also changes the SON.dat file in the AniGraphs folder, which might be incompatible with vickers03's changes for the character in the upc files. Plus, the IDs might not match. Have you had a chance yet to try without that mod in your mix?

Sorry..I never touched any animation files...I just modified what the SON.dat file sees as the new voice call outs for the sonarman and added the appropriate sound file for him to speak. This is a speech only mod.

Sorry..I never touched any animation files...I just modified what the SON.dat file sees as the new voice call outs for the sonarman and added the appropriate sound file for him to speak. This is a speech only mod.
I definitely should have worded that better. Changes made previous page. :salute:

[fitzcarraldo]

Fitzcarraldo, that 'fix' also changes the SON.dat file in the AniGraphs folder, which might be incompatible with vickers03's changes for the character in the upc files. Plus, the IDs might not match. Have you had a chance yet to try without that mod in your mix?

The issue is in the SON.dat, without it, the sonarman is well placed. There is something not compatible with the interiors in that file (I´ll check it with S3D), but will be great if the Canonicus mod becomes compatible with FOTRSU and Vickers interiors. The Canonicus mod works very well except for the misplaced guy.

Many thanks for all the help, happy Sunday! :Kaleun_Cheers:

The SON.dat file that I modified was from FOTRSU 1.8 which makes it compatible.

I am using 1.8 with the Vickers interior mod and my mod ...without any of the animation anomalies like what you are experiencing.
As I said before... I did not do any changes to the animation portion of the SON.dat file.. only speech.

I have the issue only with your mod. Disabling it, I have the sonarman in his correct position. But I´ll check all the files or I'll made a new installation of FOTRSU to try the mod. :k_confused:

Hey, I'm new to Silent Hunter 4 and subsims in general. This is the first and only mod I have installed for SH4. Everything appears to have installed correctly, in that I can move around the interior and use the mouse to access all the different stations that were not available to click on in the vanilla game. However, after a while (especially after I go to the exterior view or the bridge), the game freezes for a second and the lighting suddenly becomes brighter. After this happens, I cannot change to the exterior (or interior) view without the game crashing to the desktop. Deleting my Documents/SH4 does not stop the crashing, either.

Anyone experienced this before?

Oh, so a supermod HAS to be installed? I thought that might be the issue, but I did see someone in this thread suggest it worked with the base game. Guess that's not the case. Thanks for the insight!

Edit: Though while we're on the topic; which supermod would you suggest for beginners? As I said, I'm new to this genre, so I have been relying pretty heavily on assistance while attacking convoys (mostly the white X that shows up in the battle map after sending the information to the TDC).

If you want a relativelly easy gameplay, try GFO (Game Fixes Only mod). Also you can try FOTRSU. Not easy, but very playable. And in FOTRSU you can install the Interiors. Avoid TMO, a great supermod, but not for beginners. You need SH4 1.5.

And do not forget to apply 4Gb Patch or Large Adress Aware to your SH4.exe.

Good hunt!

I suggest FotRSU as well. Very comprehensive, stable, easy to install.

It even comes with some additional single missions which serve as additional tutorial.

Beautiful work.

I can't wait to get out on patrol in a fully rendered interior for the subs!


I am wondering if an animation of the levers (rhetostats)in the maneuvering room could be tied to the engine orders given by the players. So if order Ahead standard, the levers move. No big deal if can't, just an immersion thing.

Are the crew slots able to be coordinated where have compartments properly manned?

I figured out Shift+F2 activates internal free cam, so I was able to move into the conning tower. Problem is if I go to say sound or radar, when I hit F2 or shift F2 it takes me back to the control room, not in conning tower when I was. This is immersion killing and tedious, esp in middle of a battle.

Not that I can tell. I deactivated the interior mod, started career, just wrapped up a pre-war 1941 patrol June 3-July 1 1941. No issue.
