[WIP] Type IX Interiors
 

Well its a quiet Easter sunday so its as good a time as any to post a work in progress thread for the type 9 interiors.

Theres not much to see yet ive just got a few untextured test renders which arent worth posting but modelling is going a bit more smoothly this time round thanks to U-505 and its virtual tour which is great for reference. Plus i can reuse some of the stuff from the type 7:up:

As with the type 7 it`ll not include the torpedo rooms, i did some testing of my own with the torpedo rooms added in the type 7 and the strain on the engine was too much, plus a lot of people were already having odd memory issues even without the extra rooms so i figure its best to leave it.

I`ll keep this thread updated in the days to come...

great to hear for us type9 fans

looking forward to it

You are tireless mate. Respect...:salute:

Looking forward to it fm http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

nice to hear this news! :woot:


do you think you would ever release a version of type 7 with the torpedo rooms for people with better systems?:D

Im not sure, the memory problem didnt seem to relate to how good a system you had, i could run the interiors on an old 512Mb xp machine that barely met the requirements for sh3 and have no problems while people with really good systems with 4Gb+ ram were struggling with random crashes etc.

I second that! The Type VII will not be complete without your excellent torpedo rooms!:yeah:

Good news flakmonkey :up:

You could release them with the disclaimer that there is no guaranty that they will work on all systems.:hmmm:

yes,yes,a disclaimer, then you cant be held legally or morally responsible, your off the hook!:D

please:yep:

Hi Flakmonkey,

great to read that You´re working on the type IX interiors! :yeah:
Especially for me as a type IX fan!
I´ve got some interior photos, mainly from U-190 and U-889 and several others. Please let me know if there are of any use for your work.

Beste Grüsse, Kurfürst

Excellent news
 

Looking eagerly forward to hear about the release of this mod. Yours on type 7 is one of the mods I've ever enjoyed most, FM! Thanks very, very much!

Hi, Flatmonkey,

Happy to use your excellent Typ VII interior and, as the question mentionned before, don't you think it would be better to "look at" typ VII torpedo room ?

Yes, seems it would need a powerful machine, but that would be the ultime part of SH3's typ VII interior not realized yet, do you agree ?

Hi arnahud2, the torpedo rooms have already been modelled/textured and incorporated into the interiors mod and then subsequently discarded when all the momory problems arose, they added another 250Mb to the dat (DD would have killed me!) and keeping them would just have led to more angry PMs saying "your stupid mod does not work fix it now or i will sue you" etc...

Ok, so can i suggest you to make " VIIc toperdo rooms" a separate mod, for high end machine (with more than 3gb ram :D) ?

This is great flakmonkey!:yep: Since some are having memory problems with the type new VII interior is this going to make it twice as hard or will there be components common to both so as not to require even more memory?:hmmm:
PS. I didn't read the whole thread.

Theres no need to re-use components or textures from the VII interior as you cant possibly run both a VII and IX interior at the same time so the game wont load the file for the VII interior if your in an IX boat for example.
So in this respect there are no memory restrictions.
I will try to make it slightly less demanding than the previous interiors though.

Hello

Flakmonkey,

really great work from you and great prejects. All Subtypes deserve your great looking interieurs.

It would be really great, if you would make the torpedo rooms for the type 7 and of course for the 9 and all other that would come in the future too.

I would upgrade my PC just for your mod !!!

Know you´re thinking that man must be crazy, but your interieurs make the good old SH 3 lightyears better than the actually SH 5 !!! even if the torpedorooms would not be animated (Torpedo reloading) it would make the boat complete !
I think there are others who would have a complete boat too.

Are there news from your project of the conning tower room of the type II ?

regards
MG Mike
