Hi SSB,

please help an old man - what do you mean with "old vampir crew".

. I just know that you're right, but i'm missing the real link. So please - give me a hint.

Thanks and greetings

wow! that looks very nice! Is it possible to extract AI Destroyers as well?

@ SSB,
cool

– I’ll try my best.

@ privateer,
Thanks my Friend. I think, this sub will get fine. The only problem I have ATM is: where are the skins for the ships? Planes and subs are o.k., but I didn’t found the skins for the ships.

Hi folks,

seems that the AI-Uboat type VII A is ready – nearly ready. DAT, SIM, ZON, DSD. VAL, EQP and CFG file are completed. The boat will have a rotating DF-Antenna (“WatchMan-Controller” in the way “privateer” used it for several things in GWX), crew on the turm with “reflections” (no vampire crew – as SquareSteelBar asked for, although I’m using “Placement” instead of models. Therefore, there is a new “UBoat_CREW.dat" in the folder “Library” with two guys who can be placed on the turms or elsewhere.).

Just a word to the flag and Diesel exhaust fumes. The flag will only be showed when you are using LSH3 V.5 or GWX PLUS bigboywooly's “Wilhelmshaven, St.Nazaire, Schleuse MOD”. The Diesel exhaust fumes will be only showed when using LSH3 V.5 (I don't want to trespass “particles .dat” files of other MODs). The crew will be showed with Stock SH3 or any other Super-Mod. The Diesel sound depends on the sound file you are using.

The last thing - before the ultimate challenging effort, the “ReadMe” - is just a question: with or without (rubini's great) water stream? It is not a problem at all – but a little bit more work (0.5 MD, I presume). And as you know, rubini's “water stream MOD” will also work with all kind of SH3 or Super-MODs.

Greetings

By the way – just a word about SH5. It could have been the most wonderful subsim ever, if Ubisoft would have invested so much efforts in all kind of aspects like the submarines. It would have been better to wait just for one more year and to release a “perfect” game, than this bugish “March-Version” of an unfinished subsim. Ubisoft gave away a treasure of gold – for nothing.

Forgive me if I as ask a naive question but is it possible to make the player boat use these?

Hi LiveGoat,

as SqaureSteelBar mentioned in the post above, this sub will be only a AI-sub. But this doesn't mean that it is impossible to make a "player's sub" out of it. But i think, you'll better perform with a type VIIB.

The VIIA is more a kind of "eye-candy". Although it is very well done by Ubisoft.

In the textures folder.
ship_hull_T03w.dds is an example.
ship_T01.dds is another example.

Believe it or not there was a worrying moment earlier this year when we thought we had lost them forever. Fortunately I had them archived on an old drive and passed them around a couple of the Grey Wolves for posterity and safe keeping.

I can pass you a d/l link if you like.

rowi58 · 10-21-10, 01:14 PM

Hi jimbuna,

i know what you meant. You are right, those guys made the best “skins” ever! I just want to say, that, although SH5, nothing is going better. A little bit better than in SH4, but no comparison to the artwork the 3 person mentioned above did it for GWX.

Greetings

P.S. I've got the skins - otherwise, i could not tell the hell how good they are

One can make it a player U Boat.
There will probably be a problem though.
If you fire the rear Tube while surfaced?
It will fall through part of the Hull in the rear area.
Ref's Type VIIA for GWX 4 had that problem.
We talked about a few possible solutions but never got to
actually implement the testing of the ideas.
