Very nice mod, although the interior is far too clean. Please refer to Lothar-gunther Buchheim's photo journal ' U-Boat War ' to get a good idea of just how stained and rusty a u-boat working an Atlantic patrol could become. Especially the engine room!
I love the interior colors. Great work!

I have the same observations like OldFrenchy. Good work, need some polish and will be better

Nice work SteelViking.

Thanks Nisgeis

Oh and, Capt Jack Harness, I did not get them 100% perfect yet, but there are two presents for you in the torpedo room in my next release.

Nice! But what about the 4 under the deck?

Oh,

make that six presents I always forget about those ones. But, they all share the same texture so they have all been changed to match the photo you posted.

Capt Jack Harkness · 06-27-10, 11:04 PM

That's how I figured it worked, but anyhow nice work!

Here is a screen cap of a Torpedo Room interior that can be used as a example.

Hey thanks, I can always use more examples. And, a lot of the time, I get colors and patterns right from the pictures. I did that with the torpedoes actually, I simply took color samples from the museum pic and tada.

So, if anyone has anything in the sub that they think should look different. Tell me what it is, post a pick of how you want it to look, and I will see what I can do. I am not promising anything, but trying never hurts, plus I am learning new ways to manipulate the game every day.

How about some extra detail on the diesels like the Krupp/MAN engravings?

As always Capt Jack Harkness, thanks for the ideas. Sadly I do not think that it is possible to add the crank cases access panels. To do it right, it would take 3d modeling, and as far as I know, that is not really feasible. Also, I think that the crank case itself shares the same textures as the walls, but I am not positive. I will track down all the textures that are used for the engine and see if I cannot at least come up with something. I could probably add a few logos where they would make sense.

You can attach new 3D objects to existing GR2 files.

Look at TDW's files for Flags.

SteelViking · 06-28-10, 09:54 PM

I stand corrected. The only problem is, I do not know how/do not have the tools to do it. If anyone can or knows how(I am looking at you privateer

) I would love to either learn how, or just include it with the mod(full credit being given to whoever does it of course).

Part of the Tools are in progress Mate.

S3D will do it once a few more adjustments are made.
And final packages are ready.
