Ooh! There's an idea. Now I'm going to go and play with that.

hi all this talk about going up and down the outside of the sub and walking around the bridge in the "out of the box" sh4 before the updates how DO did you do it??? i can now walk around the coning tower and the command room with the 1.2 update. [shift + f2]

CaptainCox · 05-23-07, 02:48 PM

Normally you should be kicked back in to the control room hitting [shift + f2] topside v1.2 at least i am.

He, he ...
It not everywhere works...
To what command you have attached these keys? To "Command_room_free_camera"?
I have SH4 ver. 1.2 ...

RICH12ACE · 05-23-07, 02:58 PM

how did you do it BEFORE the updates? 1.1 1.2:hmm:

In version 1.1 (which is the only one I tested it on) you could hit Shift+F2 in either the bridge, conning tower and control room and you'd get to walk around those areas freely from a starting spot in those areas. In 1.2 you only get a starting spot in the control room and you have to go through the wall to get to the conning tower. The bridge free cam is no longer available at all. I can only assume it was one of the things they felt they HAD to 'fix' because it wasn't broken. I wish they'd put as much time and effort into fixing the stuff that IS broken.

thanks for the info!

Before the updates you simply hit shift-f2 while on the bridge. You just had to be sitting still.

Someone else clued me in on it. You line up with the XO or navigator (I'm not sure what his job is - the guy who occasionally leers at you in the control room). Anyway look at him face-to-face. Now look behind him - look where the ceiling meets the bulkhead wall right in the middle of the sub (above the door to the officer sleeping quarters and the radio room - which the game fails to model, but I'm not gonna dwell on it). Aim there and just keep going. You won't see black - you'll see blue just for a second, then you'll be in the conning tower (unless you're in an S-boat which has no conning tower).

It's good that we can still get in there but it's still a pain in the neck. I hope we can eventually get it back so that it works like it used to.

Thank's, found it, a bit off set in my opinion. But finally I was able to see in detail the TDC.

Beery,

It would be great if you can change it so you 'climb' up the ladder to get into the conning tower in RFB.

Wouldn't mind if there was also the camera sway that simulates the boat going over waves, sadly you lose that when going into freecam mode.

CaptainCox · 05-24-07, 07:28 AM

Been looking at the Commands.cfg...is there no way to at least get back the "free" conning cam from there...?

Beery · 05-24-07, 08:46 AM

Sadly it doesn't seem to be as simple as Anvart suggests. I'm sure there are ways of moving the conning tower, but the way to do it is probably known only by those who can read machine code fluently.

I noticed last night that there is an entry for it in Commands.cfg. Has no-one tried mapping a key to it yet?

RICH12ACE · 05-24-07, 02:59 PM

i do hope they put the "walking all around the sub cam" back into the sim in 1.3 update
