[REL] SteelViking's Interior Mod - Page 40

SteelViking · 10-06-10, 03:33 PM

Thank you folks, these pics pretty much prove my point. Magnum's is the darkest, and still only part of it is actually blackish looking(and being a museum, I doubt that periscope has been raised or lowered in years). The other 3 pictures are almost completely shined silver, or painted white. Think about it folks. It would only make sense that the periscope shaft would stay almost completely clean. It works much the same as a hydraulic piston, in that the metal has to slip past a greased rubber gasket every time it goes up or down.

Now as Magnum pointed out, there of course will still be some discoloration of the metal(all metal will eventually discolor) so I suppose I could add some to the periscope shaft in the mod. I absolutely will not make the entire shaft dark, or make the discoloration very major, as that IS NOT how they really were.

By the way, nozaurio, you explained yourself perfectly

Thanks for uploading that for me. Saved me the bandwidth

By the way my graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT

Cheers,

Ok, yeah, I think the problem is that the memory of that card is getting maxed out by Conus00's mod+My interior mod. Between the two mods, a lot of textures have had their resolution boosted.

Here are some textures that you could get rid of without losing too much content:

curtain.dds
binoculars_D.dds
binoculars_N.dds
cookingbook_D.dds
bowl_D.dds

And then, two big memory hog files, if you delete these, you should see an improvement in fps, but you will lose the grease in the engine room.

diesel_engine_room_01.dds
diesel_engine_room_02.dds

Try the top five first, and if the fps is still too low, then delete the bottom two. Keep me posted as to whether or not this helps.

That texture on the obs scope looks all white. Is that really how it looked?

nozaurio · 10-06-10, 04:22 PM

SteelViking greetings.

And concluded with the last of the gauges, I am sending back the files for view and edit.

I've also been working with engine sounds of the submarine, which drew from the movie Das Boot, these files are: motor_Diesel_LOOP.wav and Submarine_diesel_exterior.wav
I can send these two files for review, the file motor_Diesel_LOOP.wav I could not reset it, see what you can do to improve it.
The file motor_Diesel_LOOP.wav I drew from the movie and put it as a sound outside, but actually in the movie sound comes from another compartment, but it seemed to me as sound appropriately placed outside...

Sorry folks, but I have researched it, and all I have turned up are periscope shafts that are silver/chrome finished. That is how I made it look in V1.2, it is NOT WHITE.

Chrome? I hardly get a reflection off of it so that's why I thought it was white.

DavyJonesFootlocker · 10-06-10, 04:28 PM

Edit: double post. Sorry.

Nice job.

I will check my email right away. Thanks for your continued work.

Hey again, yeah tried deleting all of those files you listed, doesnt change much..anyway doesnt matter, I can live without the mod for now. Just have to upgrade to a better graphic card and ill re-install the mod then. if i delete any more files from the mod it wont be worth it anymore. anyway thanks for all your help, apprecaite it.

Actually this is what I would expect from an interior mod. Make the sub to finally look like a warship, not like a museum piece as it is in the stock.

Forget about the obs scope who is the cuty pie on the LEFT!

lol... it might be the putzfrau, the reason why our subs looks so clean and the crew so tired

tonschk · 10-08-10, 01:55 AM

I agree

Magnum , the vertical Shaft of the periscope must have been Zinc plated or made of Stainless Steel

, therefore cannot have a White look

On that note, here's a clip of a US Fleet boat running engines shot from outside. Granted it has far different engines (2-stroke V12's) but one thing to note is that none of the valve train noise is audible outside the boat, just a very low frequency rumbling. Contrary to that, most all of what can be heard inside the engine room is the popping and clattering of the valvetrain.

And here's a close-up clip of a U-boat diesel in action, a WWI engine, I believe...

Oh, and on the note of the scopes (not that it really matters), doubtful they were stainless steel as the periscopes are pressure vessels and stainless is too brittle to be used for that purpose. That's probably part of the reason why the heads were painted, since they don't periodically go inside the boat like the shafts do.

On a related note, in the pic of the kid at the scope with the painted shaft, pretty sure that's a fake scope. I know that shot is from in the conning tower of U-505, but they stripped all the hardware out and put up printed wallpaper, and as we all know, the scope in the tower should be the big fixed-eyepiece monster with the seat and pedals.

Thank you for your information Capt. Jack Harkness.

The external sound for more noisy engines that were provided were less acute because they were within the submarine structure and in some ways almost under water, that way was very difficult to escape a lot of engine noise outside .
As for the internal sound of these engines, there are actually two types, like the video that you sent me, with internal valve system and the external valve system, which he used specifically these submarines (I mean the valve system is the component of engine that open and close the inlet valve air / fuel mixture and exhaust gases from the engine).

From what I researched, the external valve systems were much more noisy than internal, plus it made a sound almost unique to these engines, unfortunately there is not much information or recordings of these sounds where you can take something ...

Again I apologize for my poor English, use a translator to correct my mistakes, but these are very restrictive...
