[REQ] 3D torpedo-room: Any modder interested in finishing it?

[skwasjer]

I can't say much about hardware required other than that you need a modern pc (and not a bottom line one). With both the torp room and engine room, the number of vertices almost quadruples (Tomi may or may not need to reduce/optimize the meshes a bit), and the number of texture memory required for the interior is probably 3x compared to stock. The animations sofar don't seem to have a very big impact on fps - I noticed a drop of about 3 fps for one engine - but this also depends on your GFX card and overal system performance. It could be more for others.

Whether or not the hatch is opened or not will not make a very big difference. The game unfortunately is limiting us in the ability to clip out objects from rendering. The only option I have is to use 3 different dats (or at least, that's what I know now) allowing for their own camera sector (outside that sector, nothing gets drawn, but most uboats already use these 3 dats). I will see what works best...
