[WIPs] More Crew and some underwater love

[Paris_England]

Thanks for the heads up StormFLy.

For the time being I'm only applying new behaviour to the new crew and maybe where desperate to the existing (ie reading a book when being DC'd)

Easily missed if you are watching the fireworks through the scope/binocs.

...this is repeated at least 2 times or more after some minutes, not shure if i have to change the sound`s for it (i added a sound for "SDBSM`s additinal crew sounds beta" to the guy`s who do fist pumping)

Ah thanks for the heads up Mobucks, I stand corrected, next time I´ll make sure I´m looking at the control room and not at the sinking boat through periscope/external camera, just can´t help myself .

It also goes without saying a big thank you to Paris_England et al for all you wonderful efforts in this area.

very good idea, you should use Hunter/Hunted state for that because we know this is working.

its noticeable, the Bosum for example is just sitting and cover his eye`s with his hand from time to time if in Hunter/Hunted state, otherwise he stand often or sit while writing in his book and the stealing food scene is showing from time to time. (with "SDBSM`s additional crew sounds beta" i use different kind`s of crew chats playing using the Bosum in that situations)

it may help for resetting the Bosum state to normal, (if the Bosum wont come out of Hunter/Hunted state after the battle is over) by clicking on him and close the dialog instandly, repeating that for more than 3 times. A pity is that he shortly fall back to Hunter/Hunted mode after doing this. But loading a savegame works.

question is also if we can use the trigger that show the damage effect`s or better what cause playing the flooding sounds, for special repair animations (maybe useable from the bunker scene ?), there is also a crew state regarding "boat hit" or "damage taken" but i couldnt hear something by adding sound`s to it, but it could also that there was simply to much sounds playing at ones allready in that moment, worth a try.

I think that's all I can do.

I'd like to have the crew go to deck for some R&R as long as the conditions are safe.

I can do this, but the conditions at the moment are thus:

1. uboat has to be on the surface (d'uh)
2. Weather cannot be bad
3. crew state cannot be HUNTER | HUNTED | PROX_EXP OR DMG_TKN
4. All guns must be unmanned

This means that the crew will be on deck in good weather if you're surfaced UNLESS there's a ship in the area or you're firing guns OR something's shooting at you.

So, if you call battlestations, don't expect the off-duty crew to do anything but carry on soaking up the sun and smoking their cigarettes.

The question here: Does this improve immersion or kill it? Thoughts?

hmm... i think if i realy dont like to have them on deck while the conditions are right, i could at least command manning the AA guns after commanding battlestations, so they would disappear.

not shure but would it be possible to have a sub speed restricition also, means they would only show if not faster then 4 knots ?
