NOTE: I never saw the Snorkel as a upgrade in SH4. Someone made a MOD and it was there by default. I didn't try SH/SHII/SHIII so dont know if/how they did it.
Maybe we can just make some change that puts it there and skip the in Port Upgrade List.

Listed in the File ok - but not sure if the entries I used are correct.

Any idea what mod was used in SH4, maybe It still works with sh5 (It is the same base)

SH4 not installed right now and I am leaving to go out for Dinner so no time to look at SH4 MODs.
Maybe later if I get home early enough.

I've been playing around, trying to get the Snorkel to install. NO LUCK as yet. Maybe someone can see something I missed or a error I made.

Here is what I have so far:

Created [Equipment 24] like a Periscope and renumbered all other items.
EQUIPMENT.UPC

[Equipment 24]
ID=EqpSCHNORCHEL
NameDisplayable= Snorkel
FunctionalType= EqFTypeSCHNORCHEL
EquipmentInterval= NULL, NULL
EquipmentSlotType=NULL
ExternalLinkName3D= SCHNORCHEL,data\Objects\Sensors\UBoot_Sensors
Hitpoints= 500
DamageDescription1= NULL, 0, 0.2, 0, 1, 1, small malfunction, 0, 0, NULL, 0.3, 0.4, 4
DamageDescription2= NULL, 0.2, 0.6, 0, 1, 1, Misaligned Axis, 0, 0, NULL, 0.5, 0.4, 10
DamageDescription3= NULL, 0.6, 1, 0, 1, 1, fuse blown, 0, 0, NULL, 1, 0.2, 15

Created [UpgradePack 71] at the end so I don't have to renumber all other entries.
UPGRADEPACKS.UPC

[UpgradePack 71]

IDLinkUpgradePackElements= EqpSCHNORCHEL
TrackingID=1200;<--Pull this number at random,,,

Created [UserPlayerUnit 1.UpgradePackSlot 8] but I am think there is more to do'
NSS_UBOAT7C41.UPCGE

[UserPlayerUnit 1.UpgradePackSlot 4]
ID= UpgRadarWarningReceiver

Hi

Have you try with this snorkel :

C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7c\Submarine Parts\Room_EXT - Snorkle + Anim.GR2

and why not merge the snorkel in a .prt ( i have see the torpedo annim in ) other in .lnx ( links )

and i think snorkel is not a sensor , but just an object with annimation

I want Granny SDK

[TheBeast]

Maybe adding the Snorkel (SCHNORCHEL_RWR) as Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) rather then Periscope will work???

I was just starting to play with that as you can see in my previous post.

This animation is Hinged Type Snorkel that lifts out of cavity in Deck. Not like Telescoping Snorkel in Uboot_Sensors.GR2/.SIM
Appears the Height is a little higher then the ObsPeriscope.
Maybe we can copy this to "data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7C41\Submarine Parts" folder? Worth a try...

NOTE: The Animation will not render on 7C/41 so apears it only works on the 7C

Maybe the Snorkel is added as Radar Warning Receiver (SCHNORCHEL_RWR(Hinged)) for the Type-VIIC and added as Periscope (SCHNORCHEL(Telescoping)) for Type-VIIC/41

Well it would make sense, the naxos detector was mounted on snorkels quite often. I wonder about the placement, though, since most pics I've seen show the snorkel right alongside the front of the tower when raised...

[gvogt12000]

I'm using whatever is on the stock VIIIA model. Picking up contacts while on the surface sailing back to Kiel from Poland.

When I uninstalled SH5 last year I lost all the MOD's I had been working on at that time. Now I am starting from Scratch to continue this work.

NOTE: Some of the equipment I have added is not for the Typ-VII Class, I added them anyway because if all goes well they will be needed at later date.

Here is what I have done so far.

4. ID=EqpObsPeriscopeHeadStealthTyp2 - 3D= obs_periscop_type2_wire
5. ID=EqpFuMO65 - 3D= FUMO_65_base_dummy
6. ID=EqpSCHNORCHELRWR - 3D= SCHNORCHEL_RWR (for cfg#R02)
7. ID=EqpFuMB10 - 3D= FuMB10Borkum
8. ID=EqpFuMB26 - 3D= FuMB26Tunis

10. ID=EqpTarnmatte - 3D= Tarnmatte
11. ID=EqpTarnmatteImp - 3D= Tarnmatte_Improved
    
12. ID=EqpEmblem6 - 3D= data\Textures\TNormal\tex\emblems\Merchant_Raiders .dds
    
13. ID=EqpEmblem7 - 3D= data\Textures\TNormal\tex\emblems\Wolf_Emblem.dds
    
14. Added data\Textures\TNormal\tex\emblems\Merchant_Raiders .dds Texture
    
15. Added data\Textures\TNormal\tex\emblems\Wolf_Emblem.dds Texture
    
    

I would like to see all Emblems move out of the tex folder into the emblems folder to reduce a little clutter.

NOTE: This change adds 3 new Unique Skin Textures that can be used for all Submarine Classes.
i.e Conning_XX_01_alb_imp.dds, Conning_XX_01_tarn.dds, Conning_XX_01_tarn_imp.dds, UboatXX_structure_alb_imp.dds, UboatXX_structure_tarn.dds, UboatXX_structure_tarn_imp.dds
XX can = 2A, 7A, 7B, 7C, 7C41
NOTE: Currently using Stock GR2 files you can have up to 21 unique skins per submarine class and 24 using this change. Just need to MOD UPC files.

Data\Menu\Pages\Page WeaponsAndSensors.ini

Section [G4E I26] Changes:

Since we are adding 6 new unique skins I changed Materials=43 to Materials=49. This will allow the new skins to have unique image textures in the Upgrades Menu List. Note that the Materials=## value is +1 higher then actual materials.

Added the following lines:
Mat 43=data/menu/skins/german/gui/upgrade/Uboat_7C_alb_imp.dds
Crop 43=0,0.867188,0.390625,0.132813

Section [G4E I39] Changes:

Added the following lines:

Crop 43=0,0,1,0.859375
Mat 44=data/menu/skins/german/gui/upgrade/Uboat_7C_tarn.dds

NOTE: There are 2 image entries per equipment upgrade option because 1 image crop is for the Menu List and 1 image crop is for when that option has been selected.

Currently I am experiencing a issue with the Tower Emblem textures not showing in the Upgrades Menu List. Hope to resolve this shortly.
