I think it will if your sub is never surfaced, the engine will only work when the snorkel is extended. Probably setting the minimum depth of the whole boat to be underwater can do that? |
Ah, I see what you're saying. And I will look for the radar mast this evening, thanks for the idea!
To you all, a few more screenshots will be posted later today.
Various aspects going extremely well:
-New crew page background has been created
-Animated crew on deck for when you return to port
-Researching the top aces list is going nicely; tonnage scores for the years 1914 and 1915 have been finished
-Cleaned up the U-35 model based on photographic evidence. Corrected mis-textured areas.
-Designed lower poly U-Boat tank openings that look better and have less performance cost.
-Successfully implemented interior crew movement using rotation controllers!
Confirmed it is theoretically possible to have crewmen randomly walking and performing tasks on the boat.
I won't bother you with all the details but this is a supplement to the "official" method of placing crew used by the developers.
Ducimus created a nice tutorial on how the official method is done:

The catch is you are limited to the positions, movements, and accessories created by the SH4 developers.
With new method, you simply insert an .obj with mesh controllers or rotation controllers to imitate body animation. Y
ou can have crewmen dressed however you want doing whatever you want with any accessories you like.
The main problem is skin textures are somewhat inferior to stock SH4 bodies, but in my opinion it is worth it!
It makes SH4 a bit more like UBoat in a good way.
Again, new screenshots coming today and hope to also start posting new videos in the near future - they will be the first videos since the Lusitania movie.
