e82 XXI Water Stream

evan82's XXI Water Stream

I finished water stream mod for the XXI Submarine.
This is final version of this mod, with more water streams
and few little fixes.
Mod should be compatible with the Exhaust mod.

Link to this mod [version for GWX3]

FileFactory link to this mod [version for GWX3]

I like to express my thanks to few persons:

<<<< Wreford-Brown: >>>>

... He make this mod compatible with JSGME. This is very important change. I never asked for this, so this is main reason why I appreciate His help much more. Thanks for this Wreford-Brown, for Your time and help.

Rubini:

You allowed me use water nodes from Your great Water Stream Mod.
Many thanks Rubini! Creation of this mod was impossible for me without Your erlier work!
This was great lesson!


Privateer:

Thanks for Your permission on my work with the GWX files.


Skwas:

Big thanks for the great "Silent3ditor" program Master.


Reece:

Thanks for Your sugestions about water streams.


StarLion45:

Your kind help was also very important.

This is great, evan82! I knew you could do it if you did not give up!

I'm going to love trying this water streams mod for the XXI.

I'll let you know how it works once I have my GWX installed again.

Keep up the good work, good sir! I'm looking forward to your next project.

thank you, i know how pointless it feels modding a sub used for less than a year in the game!
thank you for the work!

Well, there is Wreford-Brown's XXI in 1939 mod that makes the XXI available starting in September 1939. This allows you to play through the entire war with the Type XXI or to choose it as an upgrade at any time during your career.

JScones even helped to fix the flotillas and patrol grid assignments so they work with the earlier dates.

It may not be "historically accurate" but it does give you plenty of opportunity to use that cool sub!

Thanks Graf! My next project? I don't know. Nothing great I think, but maybe something important. How about fixing a lamp from the XXI Interior. I mean that one above radio man, and it haven't got light in stock game. I fixed it in my game. Does someone fix this in GWX and open hatch mod?:hmm: If not then I...

Thanks Sledgehammer427, It's nice.
Yes. I use XXI for all war long...:rotfl:For me it's pleasure modding a little/fixing XXI a little... Most buggy submarine in the game should have as small numbers of bugs as possible.

Yes Wreford-Brown made a very good mod. He make XXI playable in 1939. Good optional mod. I also make a scheme for XXI which is playable in 1939 some time ago. I write how can it be done in Polish Forum about one year ago, but I never made a patrol grid scheme for the XXI type submarine. Also I write instruction only for not a GWX Users, because of my game version, but later some peoples run it at GWX succesfuly.

But Wreford-Brown's mod is much better. Sooner or later I will adopt his patrol scheme grid for XXI to my game. I' don't forget about JScones - great modder, and programmer!

As to the "e82 XXI Water Stream" - it need some testing.
Thanks You Guys for Your nice words. I still be wait for some sugestions, eaven about these streams appearance. Maybe I will need to fix some big bugs in this water for XXI in the future. If something is wrong with these streams - please tell me.

I promise I will tell you, good or bad, how the XXI Water Streams works.

I think it is a great idea for you to mod the lighting inside the XXI. To my knowledge, only the IIA and IID have had mods released for the interior lighting.

DivingDuck was the expert on modding the u-boat interiors but I have not seen him around in a long time. Perhaps his mods might help you to understand how to change the lights.

Not many people wish to trouble themselves with fixing the XXI since it is so hard to get one and you can only sail a few patrols with the XXI before the war ends.

I have WB's XXI at start of war mod.
i am going to repack the black skin into that .dat so i can use the two together

The NSS_Uboat21.Dat file from my mod including skin made by Fubar for GWX. [Stock GWX 2.0, 2.1 skin for XXI]. If You like to use other skin You must open a XXI Dat file from my mod in S3D for example. And fit Your XXI skin there [into dat file from my mod]. Well also textures for the Guns to the file :GUNS SUB DAT from the Library.
And remember. Different textures has different water holes scheme sometimes.
Sorry, but I must have some time for the answer.

Ps:Maybe this can be done Via JSMGE, but I don't know much this program.

You're welcome! Thanks.
This is a screenshot from my XXI RR Interior.

This lamp don't work in stock game in XXI RR. I simply take it from VII interior, and now it works. Well fog parameters, bulb and interior light colors are optional and different in some mods.

I can Made new skins. I can change some light parameters. I can transfer 3D objects between files in S3D. I also know how to remodeling 3D model a little, byt I don't know how to made a new 3D model from the begining for example. I can only rebuild these things, which I know.

Little more green floor: [Yes. I need smaller picture in the future :rotfl:]

[Sledgehammer427]

my hatch isnt open in the type XXI...:hmm:

[cowboy71]

can you upload this to here http://www.bts-mods.com/
versus filefront?
Their dowload speeds are increadible and it looks to be easy to setup a modder account to post your work.

I love the xxi. Sweet to move around silently at 6 knots!!!! fells like being in a jet plane after prop.

Yes. This is very good boat. I using XXI from long time and I'm loving it. As to the BTS mods. Shame. I'd like to upload files there but still I don't know very well how to do it.

[evan82]

Hi Guys. Does anybody know where is Diving Duck? I have not bad XXI interior with some nice textures, open hatch, and more realistic cameras. I can't upload it beacause I need Diving Duck permission . I used some stuff from His open hatch for XXI, but I also fitted my changes into XXI interior. I think it is interesting, but I can't upload without DD permission.

[evan82]

Everyone can do some simple, but interesting things with SHIII if know S3D a little. Today I changed some colors in my XXI interior. Some green tubes looks good.

Also some work on the skin for my XXI

Sometimes simple things, changes makes game much better.

[Graf Paper]

Did I not tell you that working on the XXI Water Streams might lead to a larger work for creating a full mod for the XXI?

I'm very glad to see you did not stop at water streams, evan82!

Those screen shots show great promise indeed, dear sir!
I am greatly looking forward to what will be.

Maybe you can can call it the "XXI Elektro-boot" mod.

I thought DivingDuck gave permission to use his Open Hatch mod so long as you make mention of him and his mod in the text file about your mod? You might read his own text file that comes with the Open Hatch mod to make sure.
