[WIP] Type IX Interiors - Page 2

flakmonkey · 04-05-10, 06:43 AM

Hi arnahud2, the torpedo rooms have already been modelled/textured and incorporated into the interiors mod and then subsequently discarded when all the momory problems arose, they added another 250Mb to the dat (DD would have killed me!) and keeping them would just have led to more angry PMs saying "your stupid mod does not work fix it now or i will sue you" etc...

Ok, so can i suggest you to make " VIIc toperdo rooms" a separate mod, for high end machine (with more than 3gb ram

) ?

This is great flakmonkey!

Since some are having memory problems with the type new VII interior is this going to make it twice as hard or will there be components common to both so as not to require even more memory?

PS. I didn't read the whole thread.

Theres no need to re-use components or textures from the VII interior as you cant possibly run both a VII and IX interior at the same time so the game wont load the file for the VII interior if your in an IX boat for example.
So in this respect there are no memory restrictions.
I will try to make it slightly less demanding than the previous interiors though.

Hello

Flakmonkey,

really great work from you and great prejects. All Subtypes deserve your great looking interieurs.

It would be really great, if you would make the torpedo rooms for the type 7 and of course for the 9 and all other that would come in the future too.

I would upgrade my PC just for your mod !!!

Know you´re thinking that man must be crazy, but your interieurs make the good old SH 3 lightyears better than the actually SH 5 !!! even if the torpedorooms would not be animated (Torpedo reloading) it would make the boat complete !
I think there are others who would have a complete boat too.

Are there news from your project of the conning tower room of the type II ?

regards
MG Mike

Looking forward to it

Myxale · 04-05-10, 04:35 PM

That was unespected!

If someone told me you'd make one...well wouldn't believe it.

I guess it's probably one of the coolest announcement for 2010

Good to hear, I really enjoy the VII interior. Spend lots of time in there during D.C. attacks.

also torpedo room would be awesome, even unanimated

Not sure if this is the correct thread to ask for it, so plz blame me if not

Iam missing the correct diving angles when im in some other room than at the Bridge. I know thats not an issue from your Mod, but is it possible to fix that?

llamaman · 04-06-10, 09:49 AM

Thank you Flakmonkey..

Really looking forward to this, I'm trying SH5 but in my opinion it doesn't have nearly tha same feel and immersion that your mode has, for simple intuertive game play SH3 is still the best.

Darkbluesky · 04-07-10, 04:36 AM

Very welcome news. Although I am more of VII, I like too the IX! Dreaming already in roaming around in it. Your interiors keep the "soul" and excellent atmosphere of the uboats and SH3. I love them. Thanks!

I agree completely. In few words, outside the sub: SH5, inside the sub: modded SH3 without any doubt (except for crew models):
Imo, more detailed, much better designed lighting, much better choosen textures (even if they are low res): which leads to an enchanting atmosphere and immersion that transports you to the time, which for the moment SH5 lacks completely, and I am afraid it will require a lot more work from the modders than in SH3 in order to get close (stock SH3 already had that atmosphere, at least)

So a FMInteriors addon mod like "FMtorpedo-rooms mod for FMInteriors" would be hyper welcomed by me at least, even if I risk a CTD.
I have 8Gb, and the current FMInteriors works flawlessly and hyper-smooth in my Win7x64...
