Should Radar and Radio Antenna be "raisable"

[Anachronous]

Has anyone worked on this and decided if its fesible?

[Happy Times]

ONE time i had the the radio guy report me that he picked of RADIO (not radar! didnt even have a detector..) signals and the bearing to it. In the map it appeared as a task force and the contact came also from BDU. I had this once, go figure, x-files stuff.. :|\

I think in order to mod a movable radar you would need access to the SDK which wasn't released for who know what reason. Most games release their SDK after a game is released, sometimes before.

I thought Huff Duff/DF was implemented in the game. I notice it specially later in the war, when im tracking a convoy sending out contact reports, sooner or later a warship turns my way quick and starts firing...

The biggest perk to moving the radar mast to where it supposed to be (if it were even possible), is the radar not shutting off in fowl weather everytime a wave splashs the frontside of the conning tower.

On the antennas
Serious very difficult to create a mod to raise them? :roll:

3d modeling issue i beleive.

My educated guess is this:

Appendages to the uboat (perisopes, torpedo tubes, masts, antenna, etc) are individual prefabircated 3d models that must attach to a special "node" in order to work properly in the coding/mechanics of the game.

. (if you can get the exterior view to clip right, you can see right into a uboat model and see how all the tubes, periscopes, etc are individual modeled).

For example, the GEMA radar is attched to a node on the front of the conning tower. If attenas must attach to a node, then to get it to work properly on top of the conning tower would involve create a new node. For whatever reason ubi didn't do this and as a quick fix to get things working, put the mattress style radar mast on the same node the GEMA uses.

The same theory can be applied to all aerials. The model was done, but no node to attach them was created. So they just sit there.


Again, thats a guess.

Any more info on that? Links? pictures? better yet, an english translation to go along with a link? :D

Does it seem that this one is the web of her 9th flotilla?

Letum, can you give us more detail on the location in the forum?

Please. :hmm:

Yep...thats the one I think.

Would be nice to have working masts.Wonder if it is possible to add the periscopes controls to the radar mast and such.

Looks like this may be a job for sergbuto to look into.He seems to be the wiz around here when it comes to breakthroughs with the ship models and stuff.

For what I deal they used the Pack3d
If someone knows more, please help with more information

[JonZ]

geez, all that time I tought it was a swim aid ring :lol:

[fabianhidalgo]

A question,
Does someone know if sansal or sergbuto have email? To contact them
I believe that they can help with this

For what i've read at their place this was just a graphic detaille improvement, not a full working funcionable radio antena, i mean, that it doesn't, raises and retractes when diving , it stays like that for the all game.... :rock: :up:

Hell, it's cool to have the antena working but i think personaly that
it is also a Pain in the B... see it over there all the time in the midle of your vision angle just cause you can't lower it... :up:

[Ducimus]

Im more concerned about the radar mast then the antenna, anyone a bit more knowledgable then I have any clue or idea about how we might relocated it to its proper position?
