[REL] Main Menu "Das Boot" (video) themes
 

I didn't like the boring SH5 main menu, so I made 3 small background videos from everyone's favourite submarine movie "Das Boot".
I also included Das Boot main menu music.


This mod replaces the main menu background video and music.
Only tested with SH5 v1.15
Just install with JSGME or place the files in the correct SH5 folders yourself.

--------
note: the video quality is a bit low (but good enough) to keep the file size reasonable.


As far as I know SH5 stretches the video to fill the screen, so if you have for example a 16:10 screen the video will be slightly stretched, but not that big of a deal.
(mod is only tested on 16:10)

But even worse If you have an old 4:3 screen it will probably be very stretched, so you might not want to get this if you still use a 4:3 screen.

***EDIT: re-uploaded the Underwater theme and the Departure theme, they work now.***

Rich

this is fantastic！ thanx dude :arrgh!:

Thanks a lot man!:D:D

Woweee!

Think i might try that last one first.

:rock:

Getting a CRC error when trying to extract the last one. Downlaoded it twice just to be sure.

Haven't tried the others.

1. Underwater Theme (Only underwater and outside the sub) time: 1:34min - size: 136mb

3. Departure Theme (Inside U-boat pens + Departure) time: 1:37min - size: 169mb

CRC Error:o

Confirmed, bad CRC.

The second one works fine and looks good too. Yoram777 can you re-upload the last one?

Instant get

Thank you! It sets the tone nicely. :salute:

Thank you!:arrgh!:

I'm getting bad CRC in the first one. Downloaded twice...

I'm glad you like my themes :03:

as for the CRC's :shifty:
Sorry it took a while, when I released this mod it was in the middle of the night where I live, and I went to sleep right after that.

***EDIT: re-uploaded underwater and Departure themes, and downloaded them to make sure they work. Please let me know if there are any more problems.***

1 + 3 works fine now, but it wont let me download the alarm theme (2)

huh how so? I downloads just fine when I try. :06:

Please fix the aspect ratio of the movie to widescreen, so that it's not overstreched vertically as it is now (at least Departure).

As far as I know SH5 stretches the video to fill the screen.

So if you have for example a 16:10 screen the video will be slightly stretched, but not that big of a deal.

But even worse If you have an old 4:3 screen it will be very stretched.

The only thing I can think of is cutting off the sides of the video so it's stretched evenly but I don't know what program to do that with.
And I don't think it would look good that way anyway..

so if you use an old 4:3, the real solution would be; get a new screen :D
sorry

(unless someone else can think of something?)

No, I have a 16:9 Bravia TV. Well in that case, black bars should be added on top and below of the movie.

I only have a 16:10 so I wasn't surprised the 16:9 video was slightly stretched on my screen.

but the 16:9 video on your 16:9 screen is still stretched?, thats very strange.
I used RAD Video Tools to convert it to .bik for SH5 as it is, without changing the aspect..
so I don't get how it could be stretched on your screen. :hmmm:
