Readme Aces' Multimod compatability fix release v1.1.

Greetings,

The motivation for this mod is very simple, a lot simpler than getting it all to work together . It is intended to resolve conflicts between some of the most popular Silent Hunter III "must have" mods. for example, I love Flakmonkey's new Exterior Lightmaps for Type 7 boats but I also love Anvart's Flags, DF Antenna and Pennants mod and Flakmonkey's Twisty Periscope mod not to forget Rubin's and Privateer's Waterstreams and Exhaust mods and Privateer's Turm Emblems Your Way. The problem is that it was impossible to have all these mods enabled at the same time as they use the same files. Then there's the issue of mods that add/change the sound files such as HanSolo's Animated Sub Pens mod or the Lifeboats and Debris mod. If you would like to enable all these great mods at the same time then please read on..........

If you would like to use Anvart's flags, pennants and DF antenna mod but would also like to use Flakmonkey's twisty periscope mod and Flakmonkey's Exterior Lightmaps for Type 7c U-boats for Turm 7c1, Privateer's Turm Emblems Your Way and Rubini's & Racerboy's Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.3 for GWX3 mod then try this mod.

If you would like to use Flakmonkey's/Diving Ducks' Open hatch in Command Room/New Interiors but would also like to use Urfish's Mod Strike command room damage effects and water drips then try this mod.

If you would like to use HanSolo's Animated Sub Pens OR thfue58/Rowi58/bigboywooly's New Wilhelmshaven plus locks for GWX 3 OR Jimbuna's Wac Animated Sub Pens interior start for GWX but would also like to use the new sound effects from the Lifeboats and Debris and/or Nvdrifter's Depth Charge Shake mod then try this mod.

If you like the camera settings from Flakmonkey's New Interiors, Luca's Open Conning Tower, Brett25's Wide Angle Camera and Nvdrifter's Depth Charge Shake combined together then try this mod.

This small mod (Aces' Multimod compatibility fix release v1.1) is a development of my recent Aces' Combined SH3.SDL Files mod and combines file entries from the following popular mods to try and achieve compatability between them.

1. Lifeboats and Debris V4 (LifeBoats&Debris_v4)

2. HanSolo's Animated Sub Pen (WAC4.1 SubPen_animated_18.02.2010)

OR

(thfue58/Rowi58/bigboywooly's New Wilhelmshaven plus locks for GWX 3 (GWX_3_Wilhemshafen,St_Naz,Schluese_and_xtra_ships _V5)

OR

Jimbuna's Wac Animated Sub Pens interior start for GWX WAC Animated Sub Pens Interior Start for GWX (WAC Animated Sub Pens Interior Start for GWX)

3. Anvart's Flag and Pennants and DF Antenna (GWX_DFa-Flag&Pens_2010)

4. Anvart's FuMo3o (FM30_UpDown_final)

5. Flakmonkey's New Interior (FM_NewInterior_V1.0)

6. Luca's Open Hatch in Conning Tower (Conning Tower open Hatch TestFMfood)

7. Kurtz's British Asdic Mk I Final (BritishAsdicMkIFinal)

8. Nvdrifter's Depth Charge Shake (Depthcharge Shake v2.01)

9. Urfisch's ModStrike Beta1 (Urfischs_ModStrike_Beta1)

10. Rubini's and Racerboy's Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.3 for GWX3 (Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.3 for GWX3)

11. Hitman_Beta_GUI_GWX3_1.0

--------------------

This mod will not work on its own it requires most of the mods listed above. I have simply combined entries from these files, full credit should go to the above authors of these mods for their fantastic work and also to Brett25 whose excellent wide angle camera settings I have incorporated into this mod and to Privateer whose Turm 7b1, 7b2, 7c1 and Turm 7c8 Emblems Your Way mods which I have also incorporated along with Tarjak's excellent Historical Emblems Pack and Flakmonkey's Exterior Lightmaps for Type 7c U-boats as well as his Type 7 Twisty Periscope mod both of which are incorporated.

I have incorporated/adapted mod compatibility fixes where included by the mod author. I have tested in both single missions and campaign missions.

Note: You must have the following mods enabled GWX_DFa-Flag&Pens_2010, FM30_UpDown_final, FM_NewInterior_V1.0, Conning Tower open Hatch TestFMfood, Depthcharge Shake v2.01, Urfischs_ModStrike_Beta1, Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.3 for GWX3, to ensure correct operation.

Note: You do not have to have all (or any) of the following mods installed LifeBoats&Debris_v4, WAC4.1 SubPen_animated_18.02.2010, GWX_3_Wilhemshafen,St_Naz,Schluese_and_xtra_ships _V5, BritishAsdicMkIFinal, Wac Animated Sub Pens interior start for GWX. But if you have these mods then I have combined their sh3.sdl sound file entries so that they are now fully compatible..

Note: It was my intent to incorporate Flakmonkey's Type 7c1 Turm Exterior Lightmap in this version but I haven't been able to get it to display correctly with the Turm Emblems Your way 3D Model despite 2 days of trying in Maya but I will continue this work and, hopefully, it will be in the next release but you do have "super Turms" on the 7b1, 7b2, 7c1 and 7c8's to play with

Note: The Type 7 "Super Turms" are also available as a seperate mod from the link provide below (please remember that it requires Anvart's Flag, Pennants and DF Antenna mod (GWX_DFa-Flag&Pens_2010) be enabled first.

Nice work Mate.


When you burn the Turm?
You need to exclude the 3D object I used for the emblems.
It should NEVER have a Light Map applied.

The best tool for doing burns?
Flat Iron.

Your Rock Man!!

Hi Aces !

Wonderful work Mate !

Best regards,
Magic

[Aces]

Thanks guys,

Hope you enjoy it. It's a shame that one needs quite a setup to run all these mods together but I've included the turms as a seperate mod for those that want to try them, just make sure that you have Anvart's Flags,Pennants/DF ant mod installed first.

Thanks for your help mate, much appreciated,

I guessed it was something like that, now all I've got to do is find it as I'm still finding my way around this 3D stuff

+1

It seems that excellent TestPilot1978 conning tower 3D data are replaced by some conning tower data from Ace's nice mod.

Testpilot1978 conning tower is wonderful, because you can enter through the hatch, and go inside, walking towards attack scope, for example. Just hit '0' key (numkeypad) and you can then enter in CR from CT (this is the only bad thing which break 3D walkthrough feeling).

That's a truely 'immersive' job, never seen before (except for SH5 and its DRM).

So, Ace's mod doesn't include TestPilot1978 conning tower...(i believe, correct that if needed)

***** To anybody using Testpilot1978 conning tower : it seems there's a bug with the observation scope tube : it appears badly inside CT, in front of the attack scope.

Did you notice this bug ?

Regards

[Aces]

Hi,

Yes, you are correct it won't work with Testpilot's Type 7b as he uses a different 3D model.

You could remove the "Turm7b_1_hd.dat" file from the multi-mod and then everything else should work.

Cheers
