I had limited success with it. Due to too many problems with it the project was put on indefinite hold. But the ships had really good dynamic shadows when it was enabled :DL

VIIA almost complete. Have to use a different material for the flagstaff as the color is wrong. I'll have to extract the textures from the conning tower and use one of them so the color is correct. The flag is customizable (as I love options) so the end user can use whatever they want for a flag. Next up will be trying to get it to reflect and adding shadows to it....

What no second flag option that's a shame :cry:
I liked the two flags in SH3 thanks for your hard work :salute:

you want the option for two flags? It's easy to add. Ok, I'll add it.

:()1: Thankyou RB.

OMG, darkwraith you are a deadset genuis!:yeah:

this is brilliant. ok, i'll take the inch and now try for the mile.....->

considering the success with the flag, would it be possible to script victory pennants too, ideally linked to the mission tally in the captains log?:hmmm: [if you dont ask you just dont know!?]:D

:salute:

Not sure. I haven't even tried to script anything to do with the ships or subs. I know I can script UI :D Right now I'm just concentrating on getting these setup and working in game. Maybe someone who knows more than I or who has already figured out how to do what you're asking can enlighten me before I figure it out on my own (if it's even possible). The flags are functional to say it best - they need a light map added to them (both the flag and flagstaff) and some other fine tuning and tweaking.

thanks mate, i love your work.:rock:

I wondered how long it would take you all to figure this out....:03:

new game, new name :D

The External Dynamic Shadows of Silent Hunter 5 need some tweaks because are not yet perfect

now just have to make them reflect on the water (tried already but had nasty visual bug) and figure out how to add light maps to everything. Thinking about giving the second flag a differnent animation sequence so it doesn't 'mirror' the other flag all the time.

Very impressive.
I've got few questions:

(1) Will you release both versions - one and two flags? (personally I'm not fan of two of them)

(2) Is it gonna be possible to hoist/unhoist flag?

(3) Are you planning on adding it to other subs (VIIB, VIIC41 etc.)?

1 - you'll be able to choose whether you want one, both, or none visible

2 - at the current time no

3 - yes, to all subs
