Sub Control Panel Location
 

If someone could assist me in my search?

Submarine interiors have a control panel, several rows of green and maybe red lights
In where the spooky eyed guy is standing next to map table
if you turn around there is a fella standing lookin at the lights
If anyone knows the location of the panel light location file I would like to know.
I would like to change their colour if possible.
Would like to insert screen pic, don't know how.

(Yes, where I come from that's how we spell colour.)

That's the "Christmas Tree" display showing all watertight doors, engine intake vents, any way that sea water could get into the people tube. More than four out of five submarine commanders agree that seawater should normally be kept out of the people tube. When the lights all green the submarine is rigged for dive.

Now I'm curious about how you want to change the colors and why. (As an American I reserve the right to massacre any language on Earth to suit my fancy, and that includes English itself!):woot::woot:

Good morning Rockin Robbins
How.....?
Why, would like to try them a shade darker green with a smudge of yellow in an attempt to make them look like light bulbs.
I only desire to change the colour, not activate what they control and flood the sub.

It's not an issue to me what anyone does to the English language, it matters not to me if the message is not grammatically correct or indeed has different spelling.
It is however important that the message is understood.

Well, I spent a few minutes hunting around, but there are so many DDS and TGA files scattered all over hell and breakfast that I suspect it would take several weeks of trial and error to find exactly which files control the christmas tree light colo(u)rs. Assuming it's an actual image, it might even be in one of those PFX lighting effects files.

Doesn't work the way the real one does anyway - on the surface at sea you would never see all the lights red, only the conning tower hatch, main induction and engine exhaust valves would be open, most of the lights would normally be green.

Aye, spend most of the time on the map. It's got stuck in my head.
Every time I go into control room I see those lights.

Sounds like a great mod idea. We're spoiled by the pure colors of LED lights and forget about the yellow glow that penetrated the red and green filters that covered the white light bulbs or the transparent paint the covered "colored" light bulbs.

I used to run into problems with impure light with my amateur astronomy hobby. We'd test lights by taking a Sky and Telescope magazine cover. The logo is white letters spelling Sky & Telescope surrounded by a red background field.

If you're in the dark and illuminate it with your "red" light and can still read the lettering your light fails. If you really have a red light, the white letters are illuminated red and the background is already red. You see nothing but a red rectangle.
