Kind of looks like I am talking to myself on this thread, but oh well.
I have completed the grease in both the engine room, and the fore torpedo room. I would not mind having some folks take a look at it, just to get a second opinion.......reaper7, TheBeast, would you guys mind taking a look? I don't love how it turned out, but it does look way cooler than stock.
I am in the process of making the needles in the electric engine room look golden. It is possible, but the amount of work it is going to take is mind boggling. Seriously, the shadow maps for the needles need redone, and they are split into about 10,000 parts
. Also, they share textures, so all the needles in the room will appear gold. However, I bet that Privateer and I will be able to redo the UV mapping eventually so that only the electric gauge needles will be gold.
Another thing I have been working on is making the entire engineer panel in the engine room realistic. I have edited the .GR2 for that room to point to a new texture file. And, I am now redoing all the textures and controllers for the gauges so that they will be fully functional and usable. My plan is to basically make it possible to find out everything about the sub without looking at a UI, or a report screen. In other words, you will be able to get all info off of actual dials in the sub.
I have also been making a lot of minor improvements here and there all over the sub, but unfortunately, I can't even remember a lot of them.
And, of course, Privateer and I have been hammering away at finding an easy way to import new objects. So, more food and many other items are on their way.
