Red Light Mod?

[Alex Stolz]

Ahoy, guys!
Is there any mod that allows changing light inside the control room?
In Silent Hunter II there was a game key switching light from normal, i.e. colourless, to red during attack or evading manoeuvring. It seems that red light consumes less energy and is more suitable as a background colour for periscope observer.

PS. A very interesting lights disposition inside the U-boat you can see in the "Das Boot" destroyer encounter scene.

Are you asking if there is a mod that allows you the user to change to red light at will?

I don't think so.

Yes, sure.

Well, I can start working on that.
For example, I know where in sh3.exe the code check, are the sun is below or above the horizon and switch the light on the navigation map.
I will not change that because I'm counting on this to know when the night or day come.
Also, I know where in sh3.exe the code check are the sun is below or above the horizon and switch the illumination of the periscopes graticule.
I had plans to make this for myself to be switchable manually.
Not that I'm so lazy, but I have plenty of activities on different directions, have not come to that, yet.
I will need to search for the light switch for the interior, it may be in the sh3.exe, but maybe is in SH3Controllers.act, I don't know, yet.
And there's no guarantee I'll find it...

if you find it see if you can add blue light also like they had in Das Boot .

Yes, it would be good

I quote this text from a German forum,in terms of blue light:
Die einzig erwähnte Variante, blaues Licht zu schalten, konnte ich in der „Torpedoschießvorschrift für Unterseeboote“ (M.Dv. 416/3) finden, die für die U-Boottypen II, VII, IX und X gültig war. Dort bedeutet „Blaulampe schalten“, dass für einen notwendigen Sehrohrrundblick, die Übermittlung der sich nun ändernden Peilwinkels nicht mehr über Torpedorechenwerk und das GA-Stellzeug an die Torpedos weitergegeben wird.

The only mentioned variant, to switch blue light, I could find in the "Torpedo Shooting Regulation for Submarines" (M.Dv. 416/3), which was valid for submarine types II, VII, IX and X. There, “switching the blue light” means that for a necessary perception of the periscope, the transmission of the now changing bearing angle is no longer passed on to the torpedoes via torpedo calculator and the GA actuator.
For you non German speakers out there...
