[REL]OpenHatch_V3_RH released

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

OH_V3_RH released.

This mod contains only typeVII. Therefore consider it a BETA version. Other types to follow.


. . .

This mod features:

• SHIII typeVII
  • revolving hatch
  • corrected interior diving angles
  • reworked cameras
  • vanishing food
  • fix to use the mod with OLC´s GOLD MkII GUI mod
    

This mod will work with all installations of SHIII. However all mods that have altered:

- cameras.dat
- typeVII interior *.dat / *.sim / *.cam files
- en_menu.txt / de_menu.txt / fr_menu.txt (*¹)

will break / not work as expected.

*¹ ..._menu.txt may / will differ from your installtions. As a result tooltips will be displayed wrongly. This has been confirmed for a WAC installation already.

I´ve included a separate mod for all users of OLC´s awesome "GOLD MkII" GUI mod in this archive. Extract the downloaded archive and copy both folders into your MODS folder.
Then enable in the following order:

1. OLC´s GOLD MkII (*optional)
2. DD_OH_V3_RH
3. DD_OH_V3_Fix_for_OLC_GOLD_MkII (if GOLD MkII is installed)

Failure to enable the fix will result in the following problems:

REPORTED ISSUES


thanks for your input, lads!

reported by U-48Kriegsmarine:
-loosing CE commands

→a fix reverting to fixed cam (loosing interior diving angles) will be provided in due time


reported by NGT:
..._menu.txt may / will differ from your installtions. As a result tooltips will be displayed wrongly. This has been confirmed for a WAC installation already.

→I´ve used ..._menu.txt files that were provided with GWX2.1. But it´s pretty easy to add the needed lines yourself.

1856=Lock/Unlock Hatch
1857=Open/Close Hatch
1858=Free Cam (non stabilized)

These lines add tooltips to the game. When moving the mouse over the newly added light above the hatchway, tooltip 1856 will be displayed. The lever left/right of the hatchway will trigger tooltip 1857. And finally the new dummy floor (invisible) will trigger tooltip 1858.


reported by SquareSteelBar:

-compass dial in radio operators station displayed at a wrong rotation angle
→ will be corrected





FIXES

Here´s quick fix for the CE_Commands. It brings back written and spoken commands. However, the medal has two sides. You will loose the helmsman cam view in return for this fix. I had to cut it to avoid players ending up in screwed views on exiting helmsman view after selecting CE from any other than 'interior fore cam' (F2). Enable on top of OH_V3_RH_3.05.
