[WIP] Career Playable Type XXVIII (Fictional)

Royale-Adio · 04-05-10, 06:32 AM

I'm in the process of making my first mod, the Type XXVIII, a fictional sub made in just 12 hours, playable in career mode.

It is basically a replacement of the stock Type IXD2 conning tower. I also included a Hi-Res skin that I made myself.

Take in note that this is a purely fictional submarine and is not aimed for realism.

High performance Type IX. Nice skin.

I need help for editing the 20mm_Turret .DAT file. I want the file to have two separate turret types, one that will have my skin, the other that will have the original skin.

I'm troubled as it doesn't seem to work after all.

You will have to make two seperate weapons with two seperate textures. This is easily done. Clone the 20mm from the XVII and make the nesescerry changes.

I spent the whole night trying to do just that. What I tried to do was basically add another turret type (say 20mmTurret_Soclu_XXVIII instead of just 20mmTurret_Soclu ) in the same file, adding nodes, child nones ect... but it doesn't work. the result is that the aft turret is missing the barrels, but has the correct original skin, and the fore turret is okay but the texture is messed up.

I don't know if the problem comes from the textures I added...

See here:

I also edited the UPC units data , the upgrade packs and the weapons to fit the new turret name. I also edited the name of the new gun texture which I dumped in the tex folder

Funny thing that you would create such a mod because (I don't know if you now) the Germans actually experimented with Type XXI conning tower on type IX. I found just a snippet of information about it.

Here is what I posted on AMP website a while ago:

Type XXI conning tower on type IXA (U-37)
I have recently came across a drawing in Waldemar Trojca's U-bootwaffe 1939-1945 cz.4 (page 38) which shows a type XXI conning tower on type IXA.
The Polish captioning next to the drawing says: Doswiadczalna nadbudowka zamontowana na U 37 (typ "IX A").
I think it means "Experimental superstructure mounted on U 37"

Did anybody here heard about such a thing? Did Germans really tried to cross-platform project like this?
I have tried multiple Google searches but came up empty.

I just think that it might be an interesting idea for a conversion.

Here is the reference picture:
