Grmpf... How anyone suddenly thinks GWX is the driving force behind this mod is beyond me... :dead:

Lack of progress reports, well, that's up to Tomi. He's pretty busy in RL the past weeks as I understand, but work is progressing. I'm sure he will post new screenshots when he feels like it.

As far as the animation is concerned. I have made it possible for the engine to stop running when stopped or submerged. I have some more ideas to give the engine room true ambience (fog/smoke/audio).

Tomi told me he would send the fully textured room in a week or so. Then I will build the new DAT but this will take a couple of weeks.

PS: Be advised that this mod will make a big impact on your system resources due to the high poly modelling, texturing and stacked on top all the animations...

Hello , please can you tell me which kind of hardware is necessary to run a smooth game with this new textures added to the game ? , thank you

I hope there will not be open hatches to the engine room. If the rooms are disconnected maybe the fps-inpact will not be that great. Because in real life the only open hatches during normal watch where the mainhatches of the controlroom. thogh the hatches to the torpedo and engineroom can be closed, and we can move to the room with clicking on the hatch like in stock.

I can't say much about hardware required other than that you need a modern pc (and not a bottom line one). With both the torp room and engine room, the number of vertices almost quadruples (Tomi may or may not need to reduce/optimize the meshes a bit), and the number of texture memory required for the interior is probably 3x compared to stock. The animations sofar don't seem to have a very big impact on fps - I noticed a drop of about 3 fps for one engine - but this also depends on your GFX card and overal system performance. It could be more for others.

Whether or not the hatch is opened or not will not make a very big difference. The game unfortunately is limiting us in the ability to clip out objects from rendering. The only option I have is to use 3 different dats (or at least, that's what I know now) allowing for their own camera sector (outside that sector, nothing gets drawn, but most uboats already use these 3 dats). I will see what works best...

:D Thank you very much Skwasjer :up:

That's the question... :hmm:
Certainly not all will play the game with this mod enabled due to their low (medium too ?) specs computer. :huh:

surely...thats right...the PC must be up to date...:hmm:...but whatever...i will push my PC for this "revolution-detail" of a PC-subsim....UBIsoft...UBIsoft...sleep well...and see what others has started...thanks all members of this awesome project!!!!!!!

They are quite a bit "cocked" in the 360 link, so they definitely move in some fashion (I think it was less visible in the static pics).

Why would they move twice? Just interested to hear your logic.

Sorry, just saw this. Because I believe the lobe on the camshaft will make 2 revolutions in the 4 stroke set up....

Cams run half, rather than twice, crankshaft speed. Now, a radial--that will make you give up on understanding engines:doh: .

Hows your PC handling the model by its self tomi?:hmm:

Also die Skins sind in TGA und eine herstellung für SH III
Ist glaube ich durchaus möglich.
Ich weis aber nicht ob das GWX Time hier für SH III noch arbeit investieren möchte
Da ja SH IV im Moment auf dem neuesten stand ist.
Leider ist SH IV nur die Pacific Version verfügbar ,
sicherlich eine Marktlücke die von Hersteller noch zu füllen ist.
Wenn aber da nichts passiert,
hat das GWX Time noch mehr zu tun.
Außerdem gibt es noch viele andere Schöne Projekte.
Alles ist noch offen!!

Aber wie auch immer ich bin eh nur noch am staunen...ihr solltet glatt in eine Spieleschmiede einziehen ...ihr habt das ja noch besser drauf als so manche Programmierer von "namhaften Firmen"...hohe Achtung euch allen! Hohe Achtung!

Ich habe eure Arbeit schon bei vielen anderen Fans hoch gelobt...ihr seid es wert...wirklich!!:up:

Bleibt euch und eurem Projekt treu...wir sind bei euch...Unterstützung habt ihr ja hoffentlich genug...denn meine Programmierfähigkeiten sind erbärmlich, sonst würde ich sofort mit ins "Boot" steigen...

Ihr Lieben: Immer einen Hand breit Wasser unter dem Kiel!

Euer Martin

Now wheres that translator. lol:lol:

Ein sehr schöner Gedanke , und eine wundeschöne Erneuerung ,
würde den Spielspass um einiges Steigern wenn man da knie-hoch im Wasser steht.

Machbar ist es bestimmt aber da sollten wir den Skwaser fragen wie sich da die frame
Rate auf das Game auswirkt .

Maschinenraum voller Wasser , halbdunkel mit aufsteigenden Ruch und das alles bei Rotlicht…. Hmmm…..? ..?..?

----------------------

Anything else ...: It was from the community but often have the desire that the water in the center provides,
such as Aces of the Deep (. .. you know there are certainly still ...) ...

I think when it is finished, you put a diesel graphically animate, then it is likely water intrusion in the central office the slightest problem ....
………………………………………..

A very nice idea and a wonderful renewal,
would give a lot more fun if you increase since knee-high in water.

It is certainly feasible but because we should ask how Skwaser because the frame
Rate impact on the game. :hmm:

Engine room full of water, with rising penumbral Smoke and Everything in redlight .... Hmmm ... ..? ..?..?:hmm:

I have never looked at a radial and for the life of me do not know how they get all the piston shafts attached to the crank. :hmm:

THAT IS SOME EXCELLENT WORK! I THINK A FEW MONITORS JUST FIZZLED OUT FROM THE DROOL THAT JUST WENT DOWN THE FRONT OF THEM :up:

One piston is the "Fixed rod" which has a central hub attached, the remaining "articulating rods" from the remaining pistons are connected to the central hub via a set of pins. When the pistons fire they move the hub in a small circle which turns the crankshaft.
