Outdated theme!
*******************************************
Updated 10.03.2010
...
Mod file - GWX_Test_penns_4subFlag_2010.7z for testing.
Author Anvart.
This mod is absolutely independent original work, and this mod don't uses stuff from other similar mods of other authors.

This test-addition for DFant_subFlag_2010.7z mod.
Don't use without main DFant_subFlag_2010.7z mod.

In this test-addition we can control raising/lowering of Pennants on Turm2A_1,
Turm2D_1, Turm2D_2, Turm7b_1, Turm7b_2, Turm7c_1, Turm7c_2, Turm7c_3 and
Turm7c_4 using new StateMachine Classes... and using next commands:
1) Raising Pennants - keys Ctl+PgUp ... Rise_whole_periscope command...
2) Lowering Pennants - keys Ctl+PgDn, PgUp, PgDn ... Lower_whole_periscope,
Rise_periscope, Lower_periscope commands ...
3) also, Pennants - Lowering by commands:
Crash_dive
Periscope_depth
Snorkel_depth
Dive
Set_depth
Notes:
Raising/Lowering of Pennants work if the Watch Officer is on the bridge and
only in Harbor!!!
Water Reflection for Pennants is disconnected (alpha-blending artefacts)...
...
Two files (Pennants.jpg, ListOfPens.jpg) with the image of pennants and
with the list of pennants, which you can write down in file
"..\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat...\NSS_Uboat....e qp" after each mission (as sunk tonnage),
are presented.
I have added bug-fixes for Watch Officer also...

Hi, guys.
Pennants system works in campaign and in single missions...
but you should not use mods, disconnecting campaign data (as "MBFL mod v1.0 Beta")... and use properly dates of war...
:D


P.S.
Please write responses about pennants addition...

Excellent thank you Anvart I shall be testing this tonight, are you considering doing a verison for the Type 7C?.

Best Regards

?

how does this work? you have to open the eqp file AFTER the mission, load the game again and have then the right pennants???

sorry for the dumb question...

That would have been my question! :hmmm:

And besides, I would like to know what program do I open EQP files? AFAIK S3D does not supported eqp Files ??!! :hmmm:

Best regards,
Magic

Hi,

I'm not at home right now but if I remember cortrectly eqp files can be opened with notepad.

Is this compat. with the last FM Interior Rooms mod ?

If not can you please make it compat with it cause I like it a lot!


Thanks Anvart great work as always:up::ping:

Same here, I'm really hoping that we can get Flakmonkey's fantastic new Interior, Diving Duck's great Open Hatch mod and lucageta's excellent open conning tower hatch mods working with Anvart's flag/pennant/antenna mod. That would make my year so far! :)

So much fantastic modding talent in one place, gentlemen you never cease to amaze me!

Cheers

:DL This is for Type II subs not TypeVII as the diesel room mod.

I think this is how it works:
Anvart has a default eqp file with some pennants he already defined, so you get the pennant flags when you raise it.

And if you want to arrange your own pennants, depending on the ships you have sunk, you can look at the jpg files he has included and use those values to arrange them within the eqp file.
eqp files are text files, open with notepad.

Nice work Anvart, will try this tonight :up:

Than ks for the info mate, I was hoping that Anvart would consider doing a Type 7C version :)

bump...

Attention please.
What problems?

Open ..\SilentHunterIII\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat2A\NSS_ Uboat2A.eqp in notepad.exe and write pennants names (what you want or NULL for empty) from the pennants-list, as LinkName... and then to save file...
