5. De-activate any previous versions of my Super Pens, Super Turms, turm 7c-2, turm 7c-4 lightmap add-ons and bearded crew on deck add-ons BEFORE activating the new versions. Please do not mix old and new versions as you will encounter problems.

6. Remember to de-activate either of the 7c-2 or 7-c4 lightmap add-ons if you are using other 7c Turms eg. turm 7-c1.

Yaaaaaaaaaay! More love for my precious VIIB.

One question, is it safe to enable the Bearded Crew add-on in the middle of a patrol, so you can have them clean-shaven when you leave base, but bearded when you get home?

Yes indeed...

We (the 7b-philes of the world) salute you!

Great work Aces, thank you very much!

Hi folks,

I decided to release my crew on deck stuff as included in my recent Super Turms v5.1 mod as a stand-alone version for folks who don't require the Super Turms files but might like to get their toes wet (excuse the pun) try out the crew on deck stuff:

Download Link - Gamefront: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20265...WX+Version.rar

README:

Greetings,

This is a stand-alone version of my Crew On Deck feature as included in my recent Super Turms V5.1 mod. If you are currently using the Super Turms v5.1 mod (or later versions of this mod as they become available) then you do not require this stand-alone version as all files are contained in the Super Turms v5.1 mod.

This mod is solely intended for those who just require the Crews on Deck feature which works in an identical fashion as follows for all type II,VII,VIIc41 and IX u-boats.

Crew on deck feature visible when surfaced: to activate/deactivate use the SHIFT+D (crew on deck) and CTRL+D (crew below deck) keys. The uniforms textures for the crew on deck are also supplied in the textures folder so that you can modify these if you wish. The 3d Mannschaft model (crew compliment) differs between type II, VII and IX u-boats.

Important: Activate this mod AFTER any mod that alters the NSS_Uboat hull dat files, eg. NSS_Uboat2a.dat, NSS_Uboat7b.dat etc..

There is an optional mod included named "Aces' Crew On Deck - Stand alone mod Bearded Crew Add-on" activate this mod AFTER the "Aces' Crew On Deck - Stand alone mod v1 GWX Version" if you require the crew on deck to be bearded.

If you want to add the up/down crew on deck commands manually to your own command_zz.cfg file then please change/add these lines:

Change this entry to the one below:

[Cmd250]
Name=Navigation_officer
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x44,Cs,"SHIFT+D"
GoBack=Navigator_view

and add this entry:

[Cmd262]
Name=Navigation_officer_End
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x44,Cc,"CTRL+D"

-------------

Thanks to Anvart for his permission to include usage of his StateMachine method.

Raptor for his excellent crew uniforms on which I have based several of my crew on deck uniforms.

SKWas for his fantastic S3ditor program without which this mod wouldn't have been possible.

Wreford-Brown for very kindly creating a special campaign file which vastly speeded up the testing of this mod.

Urfisch for his historical help with the uniforms.

Last, and by no means least, my long suffering missus a "modding orphan" with great patience

@Anvart:

Greetings my friend, sorry but I don't understand, is there something wrong with the DF antenna?.

Kind regards

Aces

[Anvart]

Hi, my friend.
Compare pics in #46 and photo...
I have never seen such a design of DF antenna...
... in other words, the real DF antenna cannot have such input node (for submarines) as on your pictures ...

Really glad you did as this makes a fine addition to the game. Adds a lot of fun and flexibility (especially for those with limited RAM).

Still hoping you might release another stand alone mod , but either way thanks very much for this one!

Moin Aces!

This is a great one again. Just one question before I upgrade from v4 to v5.1.

You state that for v5.1 of the Super Pens the WAC4.1 SubPen_animated_18.02.2010 by HanSolo is required. For Super Pens v4 it was possible to use Jimbuna's Wac-Animated-Sub-Pens-interior-start-for-GWX, which is the newer one of the named two.

So possibly there is no problem to use Jimbuna's version together with your v5.1? (if only the installation order is right)

Gruesse!

[Aces]

Hi mate,

AFAIK you should be okay with Wac-Animated-Sub-Pens-interior-start-for-GWX it should be installed before my pens mod. I don't use it because when I start a career at St. Nazaire it always starts me in a pen anyway and myh mod only works for St.Nazaire as mentioned in the title.

Best regards

Aces

[Haihappen]

'kay, so let's try!

But the thing I didn't get is: if Jimbuna's would start your career or any Feindfahrt in a pen - what would HanSolo's do instead? I thought the only difference was that HanSolo's fits to WAC and Jimbuna's to GWX and that's it! But possibly there is something more Jimbuna did to the original WAC version, and I just don't know.

See: you're the pro - ich are bloss amateur!

Gruesse!

Hi chaps,
