DGUI FOR LSH3 2020:
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2730590&postcount=1

And last, best is to avoid using malfunctions option in Commander...it seems it doesn’t like the negative buoyancy (as well as LSH3 basic)

LSH3 2020 Effects Big adapted for my mod: https://www.mediafire.com/file/uevgf7glgxjtdbo/_LSH3-2020_Effects_Big_Fifi.7z/file
To be activated last.

LSH3 2020 New waves for my mod: https://www.mediafire.com/file/g2yhybp4vmf24g7/LSH3-Ccom12_Waves_For_Fifi_Enhancements.7z/file
To be activated after my mod (or take the scene.dat inside and replace the one of my mod)
Do not activate Commander Seasonal waves with this new scene.dat!

BEST PLAY AROUND ENGLAND & FRANCE NO MORE THAN X256!
Otherwise all planes and action will be skipped...Time Compression is a game killer!

BRIGHTER NIGHTS: https://www.mediafire.com/file/nkg2oh4z3gkg8zy/Dark_Night_Fix_LSH3.7z/file
To be activated on top of Fifi Enhancements For LSH3.

Hope you'll enjoy it :up:

Bonjour Fifi,


quand je joue le mod sans l'Ahnenerbe, "Crew on Deck" ne fonctionne pas car le dossier cfg ne contient pas de commands.cfg.

Mais sinon, un excellent travail.

Shift+D and Ctrl+D ne marche pas?
Vérifie si dans ton LSH3 2020/Data/Cfg/Commands tu as bien quelque part les touches Shift+D et Ctrl+D....
Si tu ne les a pas, je posterais un Cfg Commands

:Kaleun_Salute:

[Arnd Stuke]

Salu Fifi,


"Shift + D" et "Ctrl + D" ne fonctionnent pas car ton mod ne contient aucun commnads.cfg. Le jeu est ensuite repris par commnads.cfg à partir de LSH3 2020. Avec LSH3, il n'y a pas "Crew on Deck".

Je peux moi-même ajouter un fichier commands.cfg modifié, mais qu'en est-il des autres joueurs qui ne le peuvent pas?

:Kaleun_Cheers:

You will find little mod to activate in JSME for stock gui or OLC gui at end of post #1 :up:

Sorry for the convenience.

Tell me if it is ok!

:Kaleun_Salute:

[Arnd Stuke]

Merci Fifi,


no problem.


:Kaleun_Salute::Kaleun_Cheers:

Thank you Fifi !!


This is a Must have Mod for LSH2020 !


:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up::Kaleun_Applaud::Kaleun_Cheers:

[Fifi]

Merci Fifi,


no problem.


:Kaleun_Salute::Kaleun_Cheers:

I’m not using those GUI, that’s why i didn’t noticed the lack of keys.
Ahnenerbe 1920x1080 has a far better rendering on my screen.
Glad it’s ok now :up:

[Fifi]

Realized something doesn’t work correctly with my mod and LSH3 about weather changes.
You will have to delete my Campaign folder in my mod please.
Because with LSH3 2020, weather interval = 5 works much better than =2!
Best is to do it at career start, but should be ok in bunker.

:Kaleun_Salute:

[Fifi]

I will release new version of my enhancements for LSH3 2020 soon...
Have to add one or two new things, and of course will delete my Campaign folder.

Also, best is to avoid using malfunctions option in Commander.
It seems it doesn’t like the negative buoyancy, as it is systemically broken each time.

[Fifi]

V2 IS ON DECK!
See post#1

- Commands Cfg for OLC & Stock are included in Optional folder (to get crew on deck)
- Ahnenerbe Wide Gui 1920x1080 by Ericlea included in Optional folder
- Weather Changes adjusted
- Sun in Scene dat adjusted

Hi Fifi tell me the "ATM blue water" mods "ATM green water" are no longer updated in the mod? if I'm not mistaken ...
thank you for your job it makes you want again ... :Kaleun_Applaud:

another thing when you activate the ericlea mod it overwrites the original TGAs, even when all mods are deactivated

KNOWN BUG: The flotillas location on map when starting career are wrong place (when choosing flotilla) in "Ahnenerbe_WS-GUI_1920x1080_for_LSH3_Propo"...if someone can correct it, thanks in advance!




I will try to correct that and find the good positions for all flotilla at good date. but it will take a little time lol

In Hsie ini, you put the value you want! It’s up to each one to give the preference. I will let the default :yep:

:Kaleun_Salute:

[Fifi]

FINAL VERSION IS OUT!
See post #1

- Victory Pennants have been added
- All emblems have Rowi's feature, meaning right side on each side.
- AI ships deck guns are not throwing shells miles away from you now...much more precise!
- Original LSH3 sun has been restored
- Minor fixes

Not sure it's save game compatible...maybe best is to start new career.

Will probably release an extended challenge add-on mod for LSH3 some day.

:Kaleun_Salute:

[Templar]

Nice work Fifi, thank you for all the hard work!:yeah:

just the emblems not working for me.

[Fifi]

:hmmm: Maybe I’ll have to resize some emblem... those one are not from Rowi...could you try others (like the ones in Ccom) and tell me if better?
That’s very strange because this one is working fine on VII type!

https://i.goopics.net/dGDXE.jpg

[Templar]

Fifi check the mod folder structure for the emblems, is it correct?

"Fifi_Enhancements_LSH3_2020_Final\Data\Emblems\Dat a\Emblems\SubEmblems"

if not that might be the problem.:salute:

Good find mate! :yeah:

My fault...it’s time that i stop modding...my poor old brain is overheating :haha:

Will re-upload new good version corrected. Give me one hour.

:Kaleun_Salute:

[Templar]

Don't stop modding Fifi, your mods are spot on.:yeah::salute:

I just draged and dropped the "Data\Emblems\SubEmblems" into the main mod folder and all's fine.

Yes you did it the right way :up:
But for others i need to re upload the mod with correct path for emblem...and right now with my crappy internet, i can’t connect Mediafire for the moment!...
Have to wait again :timeout:

[Fifi]

OK, new version corrected on post 1

Could you tell me if it’s good now please?

[Templar]

All good so far Fifi, thanks again.:up::salute:

[Urmel]

Thank you esteemed Fifi and SH3 friends.

Thanks for all hints for Full-HD resolution, OLC-GUI optimisation and extension regarding FiFi Modpacket .

The LSH3 team is working on fulfilling all requests.

- Full-HD GUI for Edition-2021 - is in progress
- Optimised GUI OLC Full-HD for Edition-2021 - is in work
- Testing and selection of FiFi Mod elements - is in progress

We are working on enabling a full LSH3 verified Edition-2021. We are doing this as always with priority in favour of game stability.

We need a lot of time for this. In the current scope, certainly 2 to 3 months.

We also ask for patience here in SUBSIM!

Thanks and greetings, LSH3-Urmel & Team :Kaleun_Salute:

And thank you Fifi !

[Fifi]

Next version will have DGUI for LSH3 (lighter Gui than others), 15ms waves adjusted for more realistic sailing (and harder attacks), and more realistic sinkings...

Waves can now mask horizon, and fit better with my splashes:

https://i.goopics.net/VyVRd.jpg

https://i.goopics.net/a3PGp.jpg

https://i.goopics.net/3o3Zq.jpg

Waves can now reach highest point of turms, and sometime briefly fill whole turm:

https://i.goopics.net/n8Rxm.jpg

All ships handle nicely new 15ms waves without any issues:

https://i.goopics.net/9ywvV.jpg

Now after the "ship destroyed" message, ships are not instantly sinking in few seconds...sinking and desapearing process takes much longer:

https://i.goopics.net/N4A87.jpg

Still testing...

:Kaleun_Salute:

[ericlea]

Only super good news for the players !
DGUI is top !
Waves top !
Longer sinking time after message "unit detroyed" excellent !

Before or after 86’s doesn’t matter. There is no scene.dat in 86’s UI.

Your sea is normal. Same in Ccom12 as LSH3 by the way.
In SH3, best sea rendering is when you stay at turm’s height.
The more you level up the view, the worst the rendering is :yep:
Even others mods such as MEP, Onealex etc...i can show you pictures where the rendering is terribly aweful when taking some heights.
And the more you have high waves, the worst it is.

:Kaleun_Salute:

I don't think so. The waves are not looking correct at all. The origin of this problem lies in the "harmonic" parameter for the waves in scene.dat. MEP (environment mod by Makman) has perfectly solved this problem.

[Fifi]

I don't think so. The waves are not looking correct at all. The origin of this problem lies in the "harmonic" parameter for the waves in scene.dat. MEP (environment mod by Makman) has perfectly solved this problem.

Don’t tell me my waves are wrong, cause they are STRICTLY the same as stock LSH3!
Open both scene.dat with S3D, and compare the scene.dat of my mod and the scene.dat of LSH3...values for all waves (including HARMONICS) are the same :03:

I didn’t want to change the waves in LSH3 because i liked them (by the way they are strictly the same as Ccom!)
Only sea colors has been changed, but i don’t think colors affects waves shape :D

About MEP waves, go external camera and level up the view to look around...when around 10ms, waves are also aweful.

:Kaleun_Salute:

[Fifi]

Nevertheless, in my next final version 2, i have planned to enhance the high waves.
I will let the first version link active, so if you don’t like future new waves...:D

About MEP waves, go external camera and level up the view to look around...when around 10ms, waves are also aweful.

I don't have SH3 installed so I can't check myself right now. But I remember that this graphic problem was discussed and adressed by Makman, and corrected in his MEP mod. Also, I tried his mod (several years ago) and it worked very well for each wind speed (0, 1, 2, 3 .... 15 m/s), even when looking from high altitude. I can say that because I was searching for a correction at that time and I found it in Makman's env mod.

Don’t tell me my waves are wrong, cause they are STRICTLY the same as stock LSH3! (by the way they are strictly the same as Ccom!)

In this case, they are all wrong ... :salute:

Fifi, one little question if you don't mind...


In this last release, is the Nights Fix included or should it be enabled on top of this Final 2 version?


Thanks a lot my friend and let me tell you this is a superb piece of art! :up:

Really great work. Thanks a lot. Waves looking good as they can possibly be in this old game. The new lightings looking superb dude. really awesome as they shine through the clouds and looking much better. Really great to watch from time to time.

[Mister_M]

Dirty waves like picture of Spliffbiff have been fixed. No more hexagons on waves sides :up:

I'm glad that you finally admit that and corrected it. :O:

[Fifi]

I'm glad that you finally admit that and corrected it. :O:

Yes, but...this is the way waves are made, very hard to hide those reflects/artifacts. It’s very tied to day hour, depending sun altitude.
I’m quite sure if you really pay attention closely, you’ll still find some! :haha:
You don’t have that with SH4/5 engine.

I'm not using LSH as I don't fancy separate installs for careers and single missions, but wanted to try this mod as it much improves the U-boat models and adds water flowing from out of the casing, as in a certain newer U-boat sim. At first I got a prominent light blue sea horizon (seen also in other pics here) and rectangular puffs of funnel smoke. Using the default particles.dat solved those problems and so far all else seems well...
except that in the 1944 and 1945 VIIC, the fixed radar panel is rendered offset to one side and turned through 90 degrees. The radar is rendered correctly on the late IXC. I appreciate that I'm not using the mod as intended but it's strange that this one thing seems wrong. I don't think it's a mod conflict. Is anyone else seeing this, with the 1944 & 45 Type VIICs?

Hi, 33lima, good to see you on the subsim forum! You know me as BB on the simhq forum.

I don't know if this answers your question, but you might take a look at this thread:

https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=205988&highlight=turms

I think the problem is limited to FuMO29, but I could be wrong. You may need to install H.sie's patch and Stiebler's add on to fix it.

[Subtype Zero]

You may need to install H.sie's patch and Stiebler's add on to fix it

I looked at the instructions for Stiebler4C_V16B1 add-on for H.sie's patch and found this:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR STIEBLER FIX FOR RADAR ON TURMS DECEMBER 2014.

In the stock game, there is no satisfactory way to permit any one U-boat to have EITHER an FuMO29 fixed radar on the front of the conning tower (turm) OR an FuMO30/61 rotating radar attached to the side of the conning tower, owing to incomplete, original code. The turm/1 conning-towers lack any position on the side for a rotating aerial.

This defect is now fixed. HOWEVER . . . it requires the installation of modified conning towers (turms) which will not function properly without the Stiebler fix. Therefore, if you wish to use your original conning towers, you MUST tick this option OFF with the latest Options Selector, HsieOptionsSelector_V16B.exe.

The turms provided are those originally created by the talented ANVART for NYGM, and the complete package - modified by Stiebler - is supplied as a separate folder: the ANVART_STIEBLER_R01R02 folder.
DO NOT INSTALL this folder if you wish to retain your original conning towers.
DO INSTALL this folder if you wish to use the turm fix.
Hopefully, that will solve your problem, but you will have to apply these mods, if you haven't already. Such is the joy of SH3. :hmmm:

[Fifi]

. At first I got a prominent light blue sea horizon (seen also in other pics here) and rectangular puffs of funnel smoke. Using the default particles.dat solved those problems and so far all else seems well...


The light blue horizon could be because of earth radius changed in scene.dat to provide the vanishing hull on horizon...
If you don’t like it, just revert back the stock value using S3D :yep:

Don’t have any issue with funnel smoke here. No rectangular puffs.
Nor with FUMO 29, last time i used it it was on right place :hmmm:

[Ktl_KUrtz]

Well done!
This is very good work.
It has certainly the best sea I have seen!

Post #1 updated with LSH3 2020 Effects Big for Fifi.
Original mod adapted for my mod.
To be activated on top of all.

[tkragelj96]

First of all, great mod, thanks for the effort! Together with LSH3 it brings this old game almost on par with SH5, graphics wise - as for gameplay it's still on number 1 with a large gap to 2nd on my personal subsim list :)

Is it possible to tweak nights brightness? Seems realistic as is, experienced nights on Atlantic myself, but too dark for playing for my taste. Not sure which files to look into apart from hsie.ini mentioned (which doesn't seem to change much, at least not up to 0.75). I can tweak for myself, but would greatly appreciate some pointers...

Hi, first of all, try to play in a dark room...then you can hide the dials etc via NumPad Suppr that brings annoying light, then you can raise a bit your monitor gamma.
But anyway, as in real, when night is overcast without moon and really dark, you can’t see barely nothing and have to wait for sunrise...as they did.

Hi Fifi!

I had already written to you in the CCoM thread that I too find the night much too dark.
Since there are now some users who find it too dark, it would have been nice if you had added an add-on to your wonderful MOD for all users that make the nights brighter, or as it is in the respective large MODS Standard is.
Maybe you will think about it again ...:D

OMG, this actually made me reinstall SH3 again and what can I say, it's fantastic! Outstanding work, Fifi :Kaleun_Applaud:
LSH eye candy + more capable escorts and aircraft, this could be the mod I've always waited for.


I have one question, though: you write in the readme that ships now sink more realistically. Does that mean that there is simulated flooding again? Or is it still the old "if the ship doesn't sink right after the hit it won't sink ever" model? Because after playing the game with LSH and your mod for a couple of hours I'm not sure about that.

No, ships still is destroyed as before (same hit points), but it takes longer to disappear under water (flooding value increase) :03:
If you don’t like this effect, just delete the Zones.cfg file of the mod, and you’ll be back with stock LSH3 values.

[Fifi]

NEW WAVES for my enhancement mod: https://www.mediafire.com/file/g2yhybp4vmf24g7/LSH3-Ccom12_Waves_For_Fifi_Enhancements.7z/file

Highly recommanded for better experience, to be activated very last on top of all.
(Or take the scene.dat inside, and replace the one in my mod)
Can be used with my enhancements for Ccom12 too!

And even better, can be used with Stiebler EnvSim.act 10 (if so, you MUST deactivate Hsie Bad Weather Fix!)

Oh I like the effect, but I prefer NYGMs model with simulated flooding, but I guess implementing that in LSH would be to much work.

[Fifi]

If you mean negative buoyancy (like NYGM) it’s working fine in LSH3 until you get some damages (even minor)...and then the sub become unrealistically uncontrollable underwater.
That’s why i don’t use it anymore.
Needs some hard work with the LSH3 .zon files that i can’t do myself for the moment.
NYGM was made from scratch with this feature. Not added after...

[Levyathan89]

What I mean is if you hit a ship with a torpedio, you'll not know immediately if it will go down or not. The "she's going down" message might appear later. If there's enough flooding. That's the way it works in GWX and NYGM.

What's strange is: LSH3 actually had this feature in the 2010 (?) version but they removed it for the 2015 version which has always been reason, apart from the ridiculously low difficulty (I've seen videos of people sinking destroyers with their deck gun :)), why I didn't like LSH 3. Anyway with your improvements it's much better and I think I'll keep it.

[Fifi]

Well, i can’t sink a destroyer with my deck gun actually!
I even can’t stay in their vicinity or I’m dead (i have increased their gun accuracy)

Now easy way for you to get this sinking effect, is to take NYGM ships flooding values in Zones Cfg file :03: ... and even increase ships hit points...

[Levyathan89]

Well, i can’t sink a destroyer with my deck gun actually!
I even can’t stay in their vicinity or I’m dead (i have increased their gun accuracy)



Yeah I noticed (I wasn't talking about your version, that video I mentioned showed the 2015 version of LSH3). You also increased the escorts' depth charge accuracy as it seems. A destroyer killed me with one depth charge pattern in 1940! I love it! :D

Oof, you call that easy, I just checked out the zones file and I have no idea what to do :-D

From memory i didn’t provided any EnvSim.act, so it should not conflict... but anyway if there were one, you can replace it by this one.
This Stiebler one (dated 2016) is really the best one I’ve tried.

This LSH3 will always surprise me!
January 43, Middle of nowhere, north Azoren, was suddently surprised and attacked by 2 Grumann!! :doh:
Just love it :yep: and i think that's first time ever i saw this in any SH3 game...

https://i.goopics.net/1gkvZ.jpg

https://i.goopics.net/LqnG8.jpg

Weather was also overcast! Didn't expected that. No convoy or carrier was heard nearby...

ÉDIT: Sooo...had the answer...:
By 1943, the British and American armed forces were allowed basing rights in Portugal, and the Royal Air Force took over Lajes Field as RAF Station Lajes. The Azores permitted British and American airplanes to protect Allied shipping in the mid-Atlantic :up:
Cruising around the Azores is no longer safe by 1943!

Brighter night have a different feeling. For me, both mods are excellent :yeah:
Just that now there is an option to alternate between them from time to time. Personally, I got used to your dark nights and I love them, but as I said, the brighter nights are great too!

So I have LSH 3 and this mod installed (only these two) and I dont have a statometer anymore.

I only have access to the RAOBF wheel, this alone wouldnt bother me but the distance calculation on this RAOBF seem flawed ( I checked several time, but only with the same ship, so maybe the mast height value arent accurate for that specific cargo ship)


I have no clue if I should ask this here, but I'm a noob here



So is it normal that I dont have a statometer? And that the range value in raobf are not correct? (x6 periscope)

Statometer?? :hmmm:
Or stadimeter?… there is no stadimeter in SH3 …
As for RAOBF, forget about it… historically there was no RAOBF in WW2 periscopes :yep:

Distances are not important in a torpedo solution … except to get the chrono torpedo impact estimation.
With some practice, you will be good enough to visually estimate the target distance, even if it’s wrong by few hundred meters… no big deal.
Important factor number one is speed, then AOB.

:Kaleun_Salute:

[Mad Mardigan]

Distance, only comes into play in your calculations... in as much as, ensuring that the torp your using... has the sea legs to get to the target... bearing in mind, that your speed & AOB settings are correct.

As Fifi (& others) have pointed out... those 2 (speed & Angle on the Bow) are the more critical calculations here.

With the standard WS GUI there is a stadimeter.
With the OLC GUI you need to double the mast height.

Fifi I do mean stadimeter, never saw it written so.. oops.

I never played vanilla sh3, always played with grey wolves gold and I think it was in there? Or my brain confuses all the titles.

Concerning RAOBF I rather not use it, but if its the only tool given to me in the periscope for range. (ok I guess there are the tick marks and the 0.22 thingie with x6, maybe I should use that but cant find that formula anymore.) As with speed how did they do it irl? 3min 15 the ships on hydro? :k_confused:

Et par la meme occasion un grand merci pour tout ces mods et nous rendre une subsim experience encore plus belle :)


La vache, I think you fixed my headache. I will try it in a few hours and see if the height mass x2 fixes my range. Thanks!!!

[Jean Led]

UPDATE**


So I played around with everything, removed mods, added, mods, destroyed my campaign in the process :haha:, oh welp I was warned by lsh3 about it, and I will pretend I died in an air raid at base.



But first of all I discovered this is the wrong thread. I added your mod as well as 'DGUI_1920x1080_for_LSH3_2020_ProPo' by ericlea and the newbie I am tought it was part of the same package.

I mass downloaded sh3, lsh3, your addon to it and his dgui on the same night, btw am I supposed to use diego's dgui? I cant find it. So RAOBF disk was added by either lsh3, or ericlea, I got no clue. But not you :o



Regarding my trouble with the RAOBF, for the curious of you, it works on most merchants ( I dont encounter warships beside escorts anyways) but I found two types for which the RAOBF ranging doesnt work, and neither does the x6 periscope marks with the according mast height chart. I checked if they were damaged and sitting low on water and it doesnt seem to be the case. So Im kinda confused. And if you use raobf for calculation range is a factor in the aob calculation so its important. Now I just clock the ships for speed and eyeball the rest. It works so far :haha:


In conclusion, thank you for trying to help me and sorry for wasting your time posting this issue in the wrong thread.
