Tower of VIIB is finished. In next update of GSE will have only tower 2 from VIIB a splash guard. In next step I add the splash guard on both VIIC towers. :salute:

Here are the modified tower from VIIB in game

Here are the overview of all 3 tower version from VIIB:

Hey GrenSo I tried to pm you but it said I couldn't, I just had a quick question about my mod list using your mod. I added some mods after looking thru your list and noticed you didn't have DynEnv v2.9 Main but other parts of it. Is this preference or is there a conflict, I did not notice anything when i added it. I attached my list if that helps.

I didn't add "DynEnv v2.9 - Main Mod", because this one is already a part of TWoS. In his first post from TWoS thread you will find an overview from Vecko of all mods he has integrated into TWoS.

If everything went on plan, the new version 2.1 will be released by the weekend at latest. I'm currently doing some testings.
May be there will a little surprise for Type VIIC41 which I haven't spoken about before. I will show a screenshot about it when I release the new version. ;)

Well done! Beautiful 3D work, I wish I had this talent...
One question: how do you completely lower the radio antenna?

[GrenSo]

Well done! Beautiful 3D work, I wish I had this talent...
One question: how do you completely lower the radio antenna?


Thank you my friend!



3D modeling is not really difficult. You just need the time to learn and deal with it. The Granny (gr2) file format is more difficult. But thanks to TDW, with patience you can at least do some things.


What do you mean by the radio antenna? I haven't changed anything in this regard and it's either stock or from TWoS.

[Pascal]

No, no, you're being too modest; there's a specific know-how.
Here's the antenna, now half visible, whereas it was invisible before - perhaps your Mod isn't concerned at all...?
It's possible that I'm delirious, and that this antenna is still half deployed in the basic game... I haven't played long enough and I forget... (I don't use the sim. file that runs the antenna, it spoils the scenery)

I have to check that because I played the stock version of SH5 years ago and I've never paid attention to it with TWoS and my activated mods.

[Pascal]

A word about this antenna: it is clearly too massive; the diameter of the tube forming the circle should be thinner (it seems to me)

[GrenSo]

New version v2.1.1 is ready for download. Updated first post.

Changelog:
- small changes to the snorkel on all submarines

When you receive damage in the CT, the antenna can appear in weird positions. Never see a solution for this.

BTW, many thanks for the update. I´ll download it this weekend; wonder if I´ll see the changes in the CT in my boat via saved game. Now I´m in the Arctic Campaign chapter.

Hi GrenSo.

Trying 2.1.1.

My modlist in this first test:

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[E:\SH5\TWoS_Parts]

TWoS Campaign Advance Verifier_Testing
TWoS FX_Incr. Flooding via Zones
TWoS Harbors Chimney Smoke
TWoS Missing Nav Map Coordinates_Fix
TWoS Remove Sub Flags
TWoS Ship Auto Recognition
TWoS Wooden Lifeboats
GSE v2.1.1 by GrenSo
silentmichal's interior mod 2.0.5 by GrenSo
GSE - QR1 + QR2 Fix
GSE - alternative Periscope and OBS
Pascal-sh5-Crew-Uniforms_version14
TWoS Map Contacts Colors

All working well, including the splash guard (VIIC/41 snorkel not tested yet).

No problem with antenna.

I have a little issue in the hatch between CR and bow quarters (radio room, hydro, etc). Seeing ONLY from the quarters, as you see in the images, there are two awful black and moving sectors in the hatch. When move the camera, the sectors move too. This is not seen from the CR, only from the side of the open hatch. The hatch to stern of the CR doesn´t have the problem.

I tried with and without Pascal Uniforms, but the problem persists.

No flickering textures in any sector of the boat. The cameras out of sector issue is present with silentmichal interiors.

This is the only visual problem I see in the interior. Now I´m navigating at night, I´ll see with daylight if the problem continues and report.

Many thanks for the work. Must have.:Kaleun_Cheers:

Hi fitzcarraldo my friend. Thanks for your feedback.



Yes, I know the error with the hatch. I'm not quite sure at the moment whether the problem is also present with TWoS, with the combination of changes in the interior.
I would have to test it again completely without mod and only with TWoS. But I know, because I had already looked closely at that in the past that the polygons are present and that everything fits in the 3D model. I think the problem is caused by changes in the interior. Just like the "out of sector" problem.


I'll try to look at it in detail when I have time. But I can't promise anything because I don't use the SH5 stock as a basis, but an already heavily modified one verrsion called TWoS. ;)

This is the first time i see this...I was still using v2.0.10 so i checked it out..and it had the same little issue. Maybe it is in TWOS. It don't bother me :03:

The issue of the hatch is present in pure TWoS without TWoS (I play it for years and now I noted this...:k_confused:). I tried the game only with TWoS. Not a GSE problem. Wonder what produces the problem. Well, I can live with it...

All working fine with GSE 2.1.1.

If you already use GSE you can update and activate the new version on patrol and have not to wait until you are in bunker again. The activation in bunker is the better way if you will use GSE for the first time.

The alternative clouds are just an image file and can activate any time.

I think I can fix the problem with the graphics glitsch. But I'm not entirely sure. I am currently testing and will be able to know and say more tomorrow. I hope my thought is correct.

I personally never noticed this until someone pointed it out in this thread, how's it coming along and what else if anything do you plan to add in future updates?

[GrenSo]

I personally never noticed this until someone pointed it out in this thread, how's it coming along and what else if anything do you plan to add in future updates?

I have now fixed the graphical glitch. The reason for this appears to have been a spatial overlap between the individual rooms. Areas from the CR protruded into QR1 and QR2, where this graphical glitch is also present, but barely visible, which were then visually cut off looking towards the CR. However, since I last played the stock version of SH5 once years ago, I don't know whether this graphical glitch only appeared over time and as a result of various mods in SH5 or whether it was there from the start.

For my next update to v2.1.3 the graphic glitch will be fixed, some small changes and improvements of textures and mashes and the work that I already showed here will be included: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2914263&postcount=75

I'm also planning this year, but it's more complicated than I thought, to integrate the torpedo loading hatch of which I showed first steps here: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2888893&postcount=226

But since I have a lot to do in real life at the moment, I usually only get around to doing something in one day in a week and for just an hour or two. That's why I can't say at the moment when v2.1.3 will be released and when further ideas from me will be implemented.

[propbeanie]

I hear you on the "real life" stuff... just keep plugging away at it as you can. Everyone will just have to have patience and await the completion! :salute:

VIIA, VIIB and VIIC are ready (with reference to here https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=257088).
For VIIC I created an alternative version as an add-on so that you can choose between the texture I used and the one from Pascal.

next comes the rework of VIIC41 and VIIC41F.

[Mon Homme]

After thinking for a while, just because I was already called as someone who doesn't know what he's talking about, I still decided to release my own mod GSE (GrenSo's Submarine Environment).

This mod was inspired by photos, site visits of submarine, movies and many other existing mods like TWoS (english and russian version) and modders like gap, vdr1981, boogieman335, Bstanko6, SteelViking, TheBeast, TheDarkWraith and many others, which were partly used 1:1 and partly as a template for my own changes. If you want, you can also see GSE as a kind of small megamod. My mod was created under using TWoS. GSE is just for TWoS v2.2.25 and above and I cannot guarantee that GSE will work or have no problems and with the stock version of SH5.

https://i.postimg.cc/VNgcy3NQ/GSE.jpg





Download can be found here: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=6342


Include the following 4 additional addons:
- GSE - alternative Periscope and OBS

Let the mod authors themselves speak on it then, im tired of seeing this beef in these forums. This is a good package that makes adding mods 10x easier, its all in one download and you know they work together. Regardless of all that, from what I can see as a new subsimmer is that this is a small community, why insert this toxicity?

I think this mod deserves an sticky :Kaleun_Applaud:

I had to think for a long time yesterday, and I think I'm going to leave SUBSIM and the SH5 community.

After being repeatedly exposed to false accusations and, to a certain extent, insults, I'll have to draw a line under it, whether I like it or not. I'm a big supporter of free speech and free expression, but there are limits for me. And those limits were reached yesterday. It's a shame that it's come to this. But anyone who's followed the whole thing so far knows who to thank.

I'll continue to make all of my previous work available here. I'll just stop publishing any more changes and improvements of my mods and will only use them privately for myself.

I'm giving myself another week or two to think about it before I deactivate my account here or have it deleted.

If you don't hear from me anymore, then you know why. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported me and always given me feedback and new ideas. You are all the best! :salute:

Sorry to learn of the above and just as matters were brought to moderators consideration you've decided to throw in the towel and give those who oppose you probably more then they could ever wish for.

All the best in real life for the future.

[Jeff-Groves]

@GrenSo,

As a veteran of the "Modding Wars" from nearly 20 years ago?
I say ignore the whiny Troll and keep on doing what you do!
I certainly have no idea who he is or what he claims to have done so why let him bother you?

I'll e-mail you a link to a song that speaks perfectly to how I feel about what an on-line troll means to me. It would get deleted from SubSim if I posted it here.
I'll send the same link to Jimbuna so he could back me up on a deletion.
:har:

[Jimbuna]

Aye, save it for PM's Jeff :)

Hi Jimbuna,

I'm sorry to say this, but the moderators should have known this for a long time. Because if you're on the forum without admin rights, it should be clear that Mon Homme, OLZS and U-190 are one and the same person who keeps accusing me of lying and standing.
And I'm sick of these accusations now. OLSZ even admitted here https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2905048&postcount=21 that he is U-190. And if you look at Mon Homme's threads and releases https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/search.php?searchid=2713516, you can see that his publications are identical to those of U-190.

U-190: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=403575
Mon Homme: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=436351
OLZ:https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=443772

Why wasn't there a warning here, for example, for having double or, better said, triple accounts? And why are these kinds of accusations and insults left public without comment from the moderators? I've never seen this in other forums.

I invest a lot of time in my work. Jeff will know this well in relation to editing the GR2 file. And my time is simply too valuable for me to have to deal with spammers who badmouth me every few weeks and portray my work as theft. That's why I wanted in past my mods to no longer appear in the news on the main SUBSIM page.

[skin-nl]

I am sorry to hear you are leaving subsim Grenso.

Your mods where always a great treat for the eye.

I agree on the no warnings from the moderators.

Thanks for all your great mods...Wish you the best.

Hi GrenSo, your mod is great. I use it onto TwOS.

In TwOS I am missing the possibility to send the watch crew to deck and send it back. Stormys DBSM brings this two controls into game, but there are happening some strange things with DBSM and I now do not use it anymore.

Is it possible for you to add these two commands for watch crew into your mod and map it to unused keys?

Would be great! Thanks for your hard work - making SH5 so much better :-)

One thing on your last update.. the black gradient within the attack periscope is perhaps a little bit to dark and it is hard to read the scale now. On the observation periscope - it would be looking much better when you add a shadow at the border of the optics (glas), cause the edges of the border are not smoothed enough.

I'm not sure if I can do it. I have to test it first.

On the observation periscope - it would be looking much better when you add a shadow at the border of the optics (glas), cause the edges of the border are not smoothed enough.
The reason to revise the optics was that I could see almost nothing with my new monitor (EIZO EV2740X) due to the attack periscope and the lens shadow at night was overly blue.
So it may well be that you perceive everything differently than I do. So if the old variant of the attack periscope was better, then you would have to take the older variant from the periscope again.

As for your suggestion with the shadow of the OBS, I can do that with the next update.

[fitzcarraldo]

Many thanks for the return GrenSo! Downloading now and trying the mod. Must have...:Kaleun_Cheers:

Best regards.

Fitzcarraldo :Kaleun_Salute:

[sossenbinder]

GrenSo, thanks for your reply. I changed the alpha channel layer in periscope dds file. Now it is much better. BTW, can you provide the original gfx files for periscopes and uzo, where the scale is on a separate layer or do you only have the dds files with alpha channels too?

It would be great if you could look into that "watch crew on deck" and "watch crew back into boat" thing... Stormys DBSM did it and it would be a perfect addon for your mod, cause you already changed key mappings.

BTW, it is great that you're back or staying here and there are still active modders for SH5. :up:

[GrenSo]

BTW, can you provide the original gfx files for periscopes and uzo, where the scale is on a separate layer or do you only have the dds files with alpha channels too?


I only use the original DDS files and then convert and optimize them as PSD files. If you want, I can send you the PSD file I'm currently working with. I'm currently reworking both periscopes again.


It would be great if you could look into that "watch crew on deck" and "watch crew back into boat" thing... Stormys DBSM did it and it would be a perfect addon for your mod, cause you already changed key mappings.


As I said, I'll have to look into it, as programming or script files aren't really my thing. And if I'm not mistaken, it's all done using scripts.

New version v2.1.4 is ready for download. Updated first post.

Changelog:

- minor texture optimizations

Progress is slow and difficult. The 3D work is about 80 % complete. Once the 3D adjustments are done, the time-consuming texture adjustments will follow.
I just hope that TDW's GR2EditorViewer won't cause any problems during reimport when I'm finished.

Hello everyone! I propose a more visible version for battery gauges because the black gauges on a black background for the Uboat7b and Uboat7c are not very visible, so I changed the background from black to white. My modification will not be historic, but I tried to change the color of the gauges without success!

What exactly do you upgrade on the 7B AA gun platform? The AA gun itself or the tower from tower 0 to tower 1 or from tower 0 to tower 2 or from tower 1 to tower 2?

I personally don't use all the mods that you have listed. So the root cause can be a conflict with one of these mods. I personally didn't notice any such errors or CTD's when upgrading the tower in my previous test I have done with type 7B. And I haven't changed anything at AA gun, except of small changes from the texture.

I have never used or tested any of the mods marked in orange, bold and italics in your list with TWoS or GSE.

Im going to assume the AA gun Ais were the issue .I had those in an attempt to make the AA guns more effective because before the aa guns won't hit anything . But to be honest the Mod didn't really fix that.

also let me know anything else i can put in to make it better .

Thanks guy for helping me out i wouldn't have guessed the Aircraft gun Ais were the issue especially considering they worked up until i changed from the a type7a to the 7b and tried to upgrade from the standard tower to the 2 tower . I have a very long loading time and it makes testing onerous .
Works now and i will continue with my campaign .
Very much appreciate both you guys .!

Ships Of All Nations, this one is the name for ship recognition book in TWoS. You can deactivate it via the OptionsFileEditorViewer. But then it's not really that easy to identify the ships and find the right depth for the torpedoes. Unless you know them all, which I don't think.
I always disable SOAN when I need to test something.

Short progress update


After a long time, I was able to continue working again and have almost completed the re-texturing. All that is missing is a crossbar and the main texture is complete. Then I can import the all obj files back into the gr2 files and at the end I only have to adjust the shadow cast by the AO texture for the roof. Because the arrangement of the objects is now different than before.

old main texturing:

Great work. Waiting this...

Many thanks! :Kaleun_Cheers:

That looks very nice....waiting indeed :up:

Thanks for the update GrenSo :salute:

[GrenSo]

It looks like I can't adjust the torpedo room after all.

Everything looks great in Blender (normal texture and AO texture too), but when I import the 3D models back into the GR2 files, the texture coordinates of the AO texture are destroyed or mixed up. But only for the subsets from I edited from the parts TRF_Objects and TRF_Walls from the gr2 file.

I've been trying to do this for a few weeks now, but haven't been able to find a solution yet.

:k_confused::k_confused::k_confused:

I suspect that it's the GR2EditorViewer or that I've reached its limits through editing and importing. :wah::wah:

So it seems the current version will be at the moment the last one.

[propbeanie]

You might try one of the earlier versions before giving up... if Jeff or gap comes along, they might remember the issue, but some versions were better at other aspects of modding. It might be something as simple as that - though I doubt it... :arrgh!:

[Jeff-Groves]

I recall seeing that issue but can't recall the fix at the moment.
If your willing to send me the before GR2 and after GR2 plus the files you imported?
I'll check them out.

Hello GrenSo, I find some bug after loading this GSE (GrenSo's Submarine Environment) v2.1.4 MOD when I play TWoS 2.2.25.
In the TDC, the "Track Angle" pointer doesn't rotate anytime, totally locked on 0°. I don't know why. Maybe you can fix it. :salute:

Hi Jeff,

I emailed you to your gmx.us address the download link. I have already tried importing with different versions of GR2EditorViewer.
Thank you for your effort and time

[Jeff-Groves]

I'll check my E-Mail and look at it.
:up:

[GrenSo]

Thanks mate. :salute:

[Jeff-Groves]

What version of GR2 editor did you export with?
There's somethings I want to check and need the original obj files to look at.
Me? I use the Exporter I wrote but want to duplicate your work flow.
I'll have to use wife's computer to check your blend file as Blender 2.79 I don't get anything.

Also. Have you modded this GR2 file before?

[GrenSo]

I used version 1.1.459.1 for the export and Blender 4.3 to edit the obj files.
The Room_TRF.GR2 file was untouched by me and the original file from TWoS. I just exchanged some textures files before, but not the gr2 file.

[Jeff-Groves]

Roger.
Doing some testing now so will let you know.
:salute:

[Jeff-Groves]

So far? UV's for the AO walls are upside down.
That's seen by examining the Stock export of same from the stock GR2.
I use 3Ds Max to check them as I'm not that good with Blender. Yet. :03:

I just don't understand why. Everything looks fine in Blender. Also, with regard to TRF_Walls, it only affects the areas or parts of Subset3 that I edited. Subset4, which is completely new, is not affected.

With TRF_Objects, all three subsets I edited affected. Not just parts of them, as with TRF_Walls, but the entire subset.

[Jeff-Groves]

I'm not adapt with Blender so can't help you much there.
Being you've done alot of work with Blender? I'd say check settings maybe?
I did flip the dds files as a test and it works fine in Goblin doing that for a quick test.

There are not many options in Blender when you export to an obj file. The UV maps is simple and the coordinates (VT part) are clear.

With all other things that I have edited in this way for SH5, I have never had these problems.

How do you flip it in Goblin?

That interior looks great, well done !
Its nice people still mod the silent hunter series.

Hello GrenSo, I find some bug after loading this GSE (GrenSo's Submarine Environment) v2.1.4 MOD when I play TWoS 2.2.25.

Happy new year GrenSo.:yeah: Yesterday I enable GSE v2.1.4 without other MODs, and the Track Angle Dial Bug still exists. The pointer is deadly sticks there. Did I use the periscope or TDC mistakenly? I dont know......:wah:

Which track angle control do you mean exactly? The one on the TDC in the command tower itself or the one on the Periscope/OBS and UZO?

TDC in tower:

periscope/OBS or UZO:
https://i.postimg.cc/R0H1wY2C/attack.jpg

I would have to test the first one myself, as I never paid attention to it and didn't change the functions there, but only replaced individual graphics.

The second one should actually work as usual. Track Angle there rotates automatically and adjusts to Angle on Bow setting.
If you use the auto targeting, the pointer from Track Angle and Angle on Bow moves automatically. If you use the manual targeting, you have to set the angle to the target yourself.

For the second option, the additional question: What color is the switch between the Speed and Range controls? Is the switch/button red or gray?

[GrenSo]

I checked it and you're right, there seems to be a bug. I didn't notice it until now, though, because Angle on Bow is more important to me than the Track Angle.

Unfortunately, due to lack of time, I can't say when I'll get around to looking for the cause and fixing the bug. What I can say, however, is that I've actually only changed the graphics there and not any functions.
