Aces of the Deep Nightclub - in SH3 Commander?!
 

Who remembers the Aces of the Deep Nightclub feature? Full of little stories and tales of the war - some true, some not so true. Such a simple feature, but an immersive one nonetheless.

Anyway, I've spent some time trying to replicate the Nightclub in SH3 but to no avail. However, I can *very* easily add the same feature to SH3 Commander in about 5 minutes (a new "Action" titled "Go to Nightclub").

So, who'd like to see this added? Doesn't matter if you don't, because I do! :lol:

But, this is where I'll need some help. I need a screenshot to form the image of the Nightclub screen - preferably an image with two or three faces included, which will be the "speakers" of the text. I'm thinking something like the Nightclub scenes in Das Boot. Not too big though.

For inspiration, I'd also like to remind myself of the original stories told in AoD. Does anyone have the text that was used in the Nightclub in AoD?

Also, if anyone has some good text snippets that they think should be added, pls let me know them as well. For example, here's a couple that I have already tentatively added to the first few months of the war:

"I hear Schuhart sunk the British Carrier 'Courageous'. Got the EKI and EKII for it as well. That'll get the Limeys scared."
"The 'Graf Spee' sunk four more merchant ships in the South Atlantic last month. She'll be on her way back home soon."
"Can you believe Prien? Went in to Scapa and sunk the 'Royal Oak'! First bugger to get the Knight's Cross."
"We're in Warsaw!"

I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO....CH

Sounds good :up:

Great idea
 

Yes please, that would be great!!!!!!! Love those little details that makes for a nice break after a long cruise

I'll look for some pictures tonight......from Das Boot.....I can post the and you can choose...which one's you like... :up:

Brilliant. Thank you. I've spent a few hours this arvo building the text list. I must say, I have enjoyed every minute of it!

RgR ....JS... :|\

I want to have this Feature too,and I could translate the Text in German!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic idea!!

Wow, Great idea!
I never played AOD but everyone raves about it. Sounds like a great idea.



:lurk:

AOD was GREAT...Had both the DOS version and CD version but unfortunately they got lost in several moves between then and now. (performs cerimony for lost games)

That's an excellent idea, and I really want them to include this in SH4. :up: Terrapin's site had a zip file with screenshots of every major scene in "Das Boot", so you can easily find something appropriate for the background if you download it.

Fantastic idea!!!

:arrgh!:

great idea.. :up:

I think that is better use a screenshots of Das boat movie.

i have got a copy of AOD that works in windows 98, but it don´t work in xp and the nightclub mensages seems to be harcoded in the files. :88) :nope:


in the night club could have rumors or future events, like normandy invassion, norway ,or other operations, ... :hmm:

Cant quite remember but I belive this was the nightclub...
