Mikhayl has streamlined the lower hull, getting rid of those fat ridges at the bottom from the old model, to make it much more like the real S-100.

Looking very good.
As soon as the newest work is ready,
I'll add the torp door stuff.
And I am testing a way to have the spare torps
load and disappear also.

:o :o No words, just amazing :o :o


hey mate,
what a speed of developement, do you have already squared eyes ??? *lol*

ah now i see it :D
then it are my eye's that are getting bad, must lay off the coffee and computer i guess :p



great new model you have there Mikhayl :rock:

I'm speechless!
 

Just came across this thread - couldn't believe my eyes.:huh:

Reason being my father commanded an S-Boot in the Kriegsmarine in WW2, mainly in the Baltic area (he also served on minelayers). Luckily he survived the war.:)

Sadly, he isn't around any longer, so I can't verify mod details with him, but I remember some of his war stories. I keep his Kriegsmarine service (career) book as an artifact.

Must dig deep into this whole thread. I could never imagine this could become so personal.:hmm:

Hi Mikhayl,

I downloaded all these 3D-stuff to get an better impression what you are doing the last weeks .... but why looks my SBoot always so different (in Deep Explaration)

I checked all menus but didn´t manage to change the view to one like yours ?? :damn: I always have a clear view inside ..... so i can´t really check the textures ........

Right click on the object and select Tools.
Select Invert Faces and Normals.
Then use ] to lighten the image.
:up:

THX a lot ..... :up:

it works .... image getting brighter, not as much as yours but enough to work with!!

Nice mod Mikhayl,

I like your mod very much.

I have a few questions though...


- In your final release could it be possible to have a smoke screen generator on the s-boot ? Dunno if this is feasible, but some script that creates a constant trail of smoke on the water in order to mask the sboot from the enemy while it is retreating.

Not sure if the game engine allows it, as I presume the enemy sees right through it.
would still be nice eye candy though.

- Animated torpedo tubes : same as on the U-boat.

- Have these buttons always visible above OLC ' GUI (without having to click the button) as you always need them:

a) The launch torp launch buttons together with the set depth and speed of torp
b)the port and starboard turn dial (without having to click on OLC 's gui to have them displayed.

(an s-boot must rely on zigzag maneouvres to survive incoming fire.)

Up until now, I think the mod is great.

Keep it up

Privateer is working on the tube door animations...

A smoke screen generator would be cool... maybe somehow couple it with the release BOLD function...?:hmm:

A graphic, showing the tactic and smoke / fog use after attack. Would be cool eyecandy, if possible to implement it. :)

Hi Mikhayl,

This mod's looking better and better. Can't wait for the next beta.

Incidently, it seems to work great in NYGM.

I'm currently using S-boot in NYGM and GW2 as is. I've set up Mush Martin's Uberboot in GWX for a change and keep the vanilla SH3 for my grand-daughter who's working up as a trainee Kalaun on a VIIB but also loves S-Boot!

Keep up the good work.

Thanks

Curiously - Boat was destroyed and all crew killed in my 3rd patrol. However when I reloaded I was allowed to continue. So now my career shows I'm in patrol 6 even though I was killed in patrol 3. Immortal S-boot?

Mikhayl, you rule! :rock:

That smokescreen looks awesome! A couple questions, though. First, can the smokescreen be toggled on and off? Second, does it affect an attacking ship's visibility to aid in escape?

Ahoi Mikhayl,

wow... Why we're waiting for PT-Boats ? We have a better way to play S-Boats with real fun, that rocks: The S-Boat Mod of Mikhayl !!! I can't wait to riding over the waves with 40kn and taste the salt of the sea on my lips... What did "Der Alte" from "THE BOAT" said ? Good men you need - good men! :up:
