NEW PERISCOPE By Kapt.Klaus

Kapt.Klaus · 07-18-07, 10:00 PM

You may not sell or try and or take credit for making this. However you are more than welcome to post this any where for download. I made this because I liked the feel/looks of a real periscope when I played SSI Silent Hunter. So I took a screen shot inside the command room on the ship in SH4 and used that for the back ground. Copy this file to your Silent Hunter 4 directory \Data\Menu\Gui\Layout
You may want to make a back up of your: Periscope_Mask_1024.dds first.

You will have to unzip it first.

Please let me know what you think here!

That is an awesome piece of work, and im itching to try it out. If i like how it plays out in game, would you mind if i included it in Tmaru 1.3a? (modpack). Credit for the scope cited to you of course.

No problem, I would be honored.
You would have to send me then link to download the mod pack.

Real nice stuff

RDP

EAGLE_01 · 07-19-07, 02:09 PM

Very Nice, indeed.

I also think Cpt.Sharkbait's idea of a shifting background would be awesome..can it be done? It would be a first in any subsim, would it not?

Jmack · 07-19-07, 07:05 PM

its very nice really
... but did you need to put your name on it ... and all the rest for all that matters ?

are you considering a diferent version ?

Kapt.Klaus · 07-19-07, 07:29 PM

Shifting background is in possible, because the periscope image is an over lay of the exterior position of the sub. There for it is out side. If I was to make so then you would have a periscope rotating in air with sea all around it. Yes it would rotate but all you would see is water and sky on either side.

I put my name in the mod so some one could not re post it some where and claim it as theirs. I spent a lot of time on it.

I would be willing to remake one with out my name in it. Provided SubSim would post it on their main download page and give me credit.

JMack, I like you, your alright.

But that would not stop someone from downloading it. Unzipping it adding their own text doc in there or just deleting mine and then re distributing it. It would take more work for them to convert the image edit my name out of there and recompress with the settings inorder for it to work.

It is sad, but I have created other mods for games and had some of my work so called stolen. This way it is like an artist signing his painting.

This is how I feel when a person steals credit for another man's work >

No-one is stealing your credit K K. The file was created for ease of installing but if it bothers you that much that it's available for download on someone else's location then consider it removed. I also suggest that you remove the quotation in your post above that shows the link to the download. The file cannot be removed as yet because of site maintenance.
