I must say reaper7, your UI is absolutely stunning, and it brings back a lot if not all of the functionality and immersion that we had with the UIs of SHIII. I can't wait for the redone scopes

Oh, and thanks for the compliment/reference to my interior mod, our two mods do go really well together IMHO.

nodlew · 09-07-10, 08:56 PM

Sorry you are having so much trouble, but a quick look at these forums should assure you that this game has been "troubled" from the very beginning. The Silent Hunter community (and that includes you) has a right to be pissed off at the quantity of literally game-breaking bugs, errors, and inaccuracies that this game was released with. Most of these have been either corrected or mitigated by mods or the patches. There remain some deficiencies. For instance, although patched to 1.2 with mods (like the U-boat Historical Specifications 1.4 mod which I use) it is possible now to make a Decks Awash attack (crew remains on deck, hatch remains open so you can get below, diesel engines now remain operational) it's not perfect. At decks awash, I cannot use my binoculars, and if I go below, the hatch closes behind me and without teleport (no teleport in Reaper's mod) I cannot get back to the TBT station.
The sloppiness of some things is damn near unforgivable. To give a submarine gamer a stadimeter that does not work out of the box is tantamount to ripping him off, taking money for a product that cannot deliver as advertised. Ship recog manual innacuracies--removing neutral countries from having any relevance to gameplay...I could go on.
But, for all it's warts, the game has something going for it, or else I wouldn't be playing it.
Without the work of people like Darkwraith and Reaper I would long ago have forgotten this game exists.

Correction: The actual latest patch version is 1.2, not 2.0. Sorry.

I understand thank you for your understanding, and good luck in hunting.

nodlew · 09-09-10, 12:08 PM

Reaper...

I noticed last night that I can't turn the middle dial of the RAOBF at the obs. periscope. I have made some changes of my own to the mod, but they should be unrelated.

Scripting bug?

I want to reiterate my question about the missing geographic coordinates on the Nav Map. I've asked twice, but apparently the request for info has got lost in the shuffle. The question is: Is there any way that I can restore the geographic coordinates (long/lat) to the Nav Map? I play at full realism and there are no updated map contacts for ship/convoy sightings. And now there is no information when I mouse over the contacts on the map regarding time of ship sighting, ship's heading, or speed. Convoys do not appear at all. The only hope I have of intercepting a convoy by radio contact report is to use the geographic coordinates in the report to locate the sighted ship, convoy, and work out an intercept course. I have tried on my own to resolve the issue without success.

Reaper7, come in Reaper7, please respond...

No, that means to the end of the currently plotted course.

Sepp von Ch. · 08-03-10, 06:31 PM

Looks really great!

Lovely mod! Is this mod compatible with TDC by The Dark Wraith (currently version 3.9.2) please?

clayman · 08-03-10, 07:06 PM

Holy Cow ... stunning work!

You just keep throwing the immersion factor through the roof!

Thank you

b3rnard0c · 08-03-10, 08:52 PM

A tip: delete all files "thumbs.db"... 118 files occupying 6.5MB.

Your mod: 20.5 mb --> 14.0 mb

The images are very impressive. Good work.

trebby · 08-03-10, 08:59 PM

Wow!

Very impressive sir!
Thanks for sharing ur work...
This is what I was lookin for.

All the best, Trebb.

Edit: Running in 2560x1600. The scopes get very small/distorted...

Any chance for an Hi Res version?

DavyJonesFootlocker · 08-03-10, 11:09 PM

Wow! Gonna try this one out.
