Flakmonkey's Twisty Persicope Thingy for type VII

[rs77]

Hi, some time ago I found this really nice piece of eye candy called Twisty Periscope Thingy which was created by Flakmonkey.

Here are original threads on this:

unfortunately all links to this mod are down, so for my own needs I extracted 3D models for both periscopes with this 'thingy' from Racerboy's flags&pennants mod

I imported those periscope 3D models to all 11 types of turm for type VIIb/c boats using Silent 3ditor (GWX 3.0 turm .dat files). It also shouldn't have the problems of original mod because it's very clean (just import new 3D models for periscopes).

it looks like this in Naval Academy:


there is some testing needed which I can't do (especially check if it works for boats with radar)

I can share this but I don't know if I'm allowed to do this. Of course all the credit would go to Flakmonkey for creating this 3D models for periscopes and skwasjer for S3ditor.

So what do you guys say to this?

Especially I would like to hear from Flakmonkey himself, unfortunately I can't PM him.

EDIT:

Ok, I don't see anyone wanting to crucify me for this .

The reasons I share this:
- original mod by Flakmonkey is no longer available to community
- original mod was causing some problems (see original threads)
- to make it GWX 3.0 compatible

This mod puts Twisty Periscope Thingy on both persicopes for all turm types present for type VII boats.

All credit goes to:
- GWX 3.0 development team for their magnificent job
- Flakmonkey for creating 3D models of periscopes for type VII with scope vibration damper*
- skwasjer for Silent 3ditor

it's JSGME ready, just put it in MODS folder, enable and enjoy

*scope vibration damper is proper technical term for this thing provided by Kpt.Lehmann

It would be no problem to do this also for Types II and IX, but I'm not able to create 3D models for their persicopes on my own.
