What is it and where can I get it?

This is a large combination mod of the above mods (with additions and modifications by me).

Now available - v1.4 compatible version (only changes made were to menu 1024_768.ini) - MetalHUD workaround still works with new version

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...do=file&id=592

Now available - workaround to use jaketoox's metal hud (or any HUD mod that only changes the HUD graphics) with MHSMC

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...do=file&id=602

What did I do?

Put all these mods together in one package (including the necessary changes to .cfg and .ini files so that the mods could co-exist) Ported CaptainCox's map table graphics into OakGrooves realistic interiors graphics. Added several new buttons (including icons) on the various HUD stations. Added an 11th HUD station. Added buttons to the camera station to help setting up and using the custom interior cameras. Made slight color changes to the buttons on the HUD stations. Inluded documentation from all of the above mods.

What does it look like?






































What if I don't want the nomograph or I want a metric version?

Go into the mods \Data\Menu folder and open the menu_1024_768.ini file with notebook (or your favorite text editor) and remove section [G31 I28] (for v1.3) or [G31 I59] (for v1.4) to remove the nomograph. If you want to replace it with a metric version, then replace the Nomograph.dds file in the mods \Data\Menu\Gui\Layout folder with an appropriately sized image of a metric nomograph.

What do I do now?

Make sure you read through the documentation (especially on the custom internal cams mod). Place the DT's Mess Hall Sink Mod Combo folder in your mods folder and jsgme it! Then enjoy! And, if you haven't done so already, go to the posts for each persons mod and thank them for all the fine work they have done.

Anyone who cares to do so may use this work (modified or not) in a mod combo of their own as long as it is a non-commercial endeavor and proper credit is given to all of the individuals who did the original modifications.

Looks awesome! Thanks!

[Tigrone]

Any chance it will work with TM 1.3A by Ducimus? Probably not, might cause indigestion? Too many good things. :hmm:

[Digital_Trucker]

@Camaero Glad you like it!

@08x15 Sorry to say, but TM and this mod both modify some of the same files and it appears that some of the changes are not the kind that could be resolved very easily.

I forgot (and will rectify that right now) to mention in my post that anyone that wants to modify this work or include it in any combination is welcome to do so in any non-commercial endeavor as long as credit is given to all the folks that made the original mods that I combined.

I can't get the gramamphone to work. I select it from the menu and nothing. Where is that pulldown map found?

There is an icon on the hud for the pulldown map. When you press that, the pulldown map appears top left hand corner. At the bottom right hand corner of the pull down map you'll find the buttons for the gramophone.

Great Work - Just a nit on the name: Soldiers and Marines have mess halls. Submarines have a crew's mess and the sink is actually in the galley

[Digital_Trucker]

NUC, I stand corrected. I'm embarassed to admit that I was a sailor a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (no wait, that's not right) and still didn't get the terminology right. Even though the only thing I ever sailed was an island in the Aleutians, I should have remembered the correct terminology since I did a stint in the galley (doesn't pay to piss off the CO:rotfl: ). I guess my memory isn't what it used to be. Now, what were we talking about anyway?

[ironkross]

This looks really fine DT. I do like my mods already grouped together like candy in a piñata. Hey, if, or I should say, when I uninstall TM for this, I guess I should be safely ashore in port, off my boat and in the mess Hall, right? :rotfl:
Or is it crew's mess on or off shore? Anyway thanks for the fine addition.
PS> RSM is running fine for me also.
Thanks,
Ironkross

Yep, I think in port would definitely be the place to do the swapover. And if, like me, you really like Jaketoox's MetalHud and Stowa Kriegsmarine deck watch available at http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=122689 it should install after the (misnamed) Mess Hall without any problems.

Enjoy and thanks for the kind words.

Oh yeah, perhaps that beer joint out back of the base would be the place to be while the refit is in progress

Ooops, almost forgot. If you are using ROW (and you should ), you can either delete the camera file from my mod or apply ROW on top of mine and let it overwrite. The new camera positions work fine with the ROW camera file and the ROW camera file has all the wonderful new effects (walk on the deck, etc).

[Digital_Trucker]

What I said above about adding jaketoox's metal hud to my mod isn't quite true. Without a workaround, you'll end up with some buttons with no pictures on them. If anyone is interested in using this mod with jake's metal hud, let me know and I'll put together a workaround.
