Readme Aces' Multimod compatability fix v1.4 beta.

Greetings,

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 and h.sie'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 v1.4 beta) 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. h.sie's Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.3 for GWX3 (Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.3 for GWX3)

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

This mod will not work on its own it requires 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.

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.

******** --- Important : Install using JSGME AFTER you install the above mods. --- *********

This is a beta release for this reason the included merged "commands" config file is the "commands_eng.cfg" version, I will produce a German version after further testing before releasing the final version. Please contact me on www.subsim.com if you have any comments and sugestions.

2.Now Includes the Optional Mod folder - "Aces' Type XXI Flag Pennants DF + Waterstreams Fix" with kind permission of Flag and Pennants and DF Antenna (GWX_DFa-Flag&Pens_2010) author Anvart.

very nice work, aces oooh, i also see my high res conning tower in your screens, nice (theres also now a moldy food addon that goes with it) Which is Flakmonkeys twisty periscope- is that "FM30_UpDown_final"?

[Magic1111]

Many thanks for your work Aces !

I´ll download me the MOD today in the evening and test it tomorrow (today evening I can´t test, because it´s Soccer time on TV, Champions League ManU vs. my favorite Club FC Bayern München ).

Best regards,
Magic

Thanks chaps,

It's been quite a bit of work but I'm pleased with the results. I ran out of time yesterday and I'm working on incorporating Flakmonkey's remaining Type 7c Turm 2 and 4 Exterior lightmaps but the Type 7c1 included should be a proof of concept demonstrator.

Hi Brett25, thanks for your comments mate. I am really enjoying your mods, the excellent conning tower textures, the grass/seabed mod and your wide camera mod, great work mate. FYI Flakmonkey released a mod called "TwisyPeriscopyThingy" which added the vibration damper to the periscopes. It modifies turm7c1_hd.dat as does Anvart's Flags, Pennants & DF Antenna mod as well as Flakmonkeys Type 7 Exterior Lightmaps so I combined their dat file entries so that one could have them all. Anvart's FM30 Upo Down Final mod is a seperate mod for raising/rotating/lowering the FuMo30 Radar antenna. Thanks for the info on the mouldy food, I'll check that one out.

Best Regards to all

Cheers

Hi chaps,

Hope all is well with you. I've been beavering away, here's a few more images which really show Flakmonkey's Exterior Lightmaps to good effect. I've cleaned up the edges of Anvart's pennants file by changing the alpha channel a tad to loose the white outer edges to the flags, compare to my previous screenshot at the start of the thread. A bit more tweaking tonight. I have edited the cameras.dat file again to produce a small add-on to go with v1.5 which will work with Hitman's new GUI and I'm continuing my work with incorporating the turm 7c2 and 7c4 lightmaps etc., more news later.

Best Regards

Aces

Hey, thanks for this new version. The edited pennats file is much better, tx.

Really, FM lightmaps adds a lot! It is wrth the work imo.

But I see that you have a deck gun with the "spiral" around the cannon. AFAIK this is from HanSolo's WAC (one of the last iterations). Is this released separately?

[Aces]

Hi,

Yes, it's a mod called New Uboat Guns v1.2 by Testpilot.

If you cannot find it I'll post a link when I get in from worj this evening.

Best Regards

Aces

If we could:

-Add high resolution textures to harbour
-Edit meshes of sea (smaller, more detailed, etc)
-Add water transparency

...then this shot could compete without complexes with modern games, even if it does not have dynamic shadows. I think that we are not so far. Are we ?

hi aces,

so the New Uboat Guns mod will overwrite flakmonkeys lightmaps (guns_Sub.dat_), does your compatibility mod fixe this? I didnt see the lightmap mod in your list

[Magic1111]

Hello Aces !

I´ve testet your MOD and it works perfectly !!!

BUT: I´ve a very big, big wish to you: Can you please release a version of your MOD without Luca's Open Hatch in Conning Tower TestFMfood MOD, because I don´t like this MOD ! Is this possible please ?

Best regards,
Magic
