Another Periscope Mod

U-48Kriegsmarine · 11-01-09, 04:22 PM

This Mod adds totally new periscope views for both the attack and obs periscope.
I have included one version for regular stuff, and one for integrated orders.
The reason for this was I was sick of both periscopes looking the same, so I looked around and found that their was a mod made by Hitman that
gave NYGM the proper periscopes, but that was for NYGM and I use GWX, so I did some editing of the TGA files, and made this for GWX using
the data files from Church's periscope mod.
So really all I did is combine the great work from these two!
Also, I used the darkened UZO, i didn;t make this either, but I can't seem to remember who did, I've used it for so long, it must have been
three years ago that i donwloaded this, so if it's yours, please speak up!
I also included an alternate UZO, so if you wish, just rename the file that's called "UZO (altenrnate)" to "UZO". (both files are in the Gui
file.
A Reader doc is included about german periscopes, this was provided by Hitman.
JSGME Ready!

******Could one of the moderators upload this to subsim for me, as I'm not sure if mediafire deletes from people with free accounts or not.

For SH3 all you need to do is press Ctrl-F11 and it takes a screenshot (in color

) and places it in your game folder.

Tried it, wasn't really what I was lookin' for. That's why I made this mod, as far as I can tell, it has the most historically correct views so far (that doesn't modify cameras.dat)

Anyway, thanks hitman for the great tga's, can;t thank enough everyone for allowing me to use their material!

you are 'missing' something critical here U-48Kriegsmarine !

the modifications at cameras.dat are necessery for the optics to work properly. if you want to combine things ....you have to know what exactly must done to the optic's values at cameras.dat too ! read again ...what Hitman told you

My pleasure, it's always nice to see people with enthusiasm and taking the first steps towards creating mods and new stuff. Today is a compilation of mods, tomorrow it might be already a rework of others, and then sooner than you think you might end up doing new things from scratch for everyone to enjoy

No no no, what I meant was, that didn't stray from the original camera.dat file, as this mod contains no camera.dat file, it doesn;t mess with the periscope values, all it does is change the way the periscope view looks to the user. This is done by editing tga files. The reason I wanted something that didn;t edit the cameras.dat was because I love the widescreen mod so much.

I think it is you that needs to read the first post first.

Anyway, this is only me second mod (I made one for the pics in the radio room a while back) sooo, its not flawless, but it works!

???????

you mean about the markings? can't the tga with those markings be edited, getting rid of the one's in the stock?

or dos the cameras.dat indeed need to be modified so that they overlay one another, i don't think i quite understand.
