[REL]OpenHatch_V3_RH released

[Reece]

It does, Reece. It does.

It does ... Really, your not pulling my legs! ... I must give it a go, don't know how you managed that, maybe I should read the first post a little closer! One thing I noted, the first officer does not respond to orders, is this correct?
Thanks.
Edit: Whoops, found the fix for the first officer!!

Hi, DivingDuck.
Thanks for the reply, but...
I perfectly understand detailed work of yours mod...
But i do not understand why you have chosen such way ... hatch animation logic (hatch has mechanical blocking by handle with some mechanical elements) ... and large quantity of meal moved from the field of vision through Fuel Dial controller ... it is very "expensive" pleasure... i mean computer (and game) resources ... and these not fixed cameras ... i'm not fan ...
...
And... i tried your mod (GWX 3.0 variant) and have noticed loss of part of Graph Animations... in other words
StateMachine System does not work correctly in Type 7 interior with 3.05 mod...

P.S.
In the military technics (for reliability) 3 states of indicators are used, and "X-mas" must have 3 states... Close-lock (for example red), Open-unlock (green) and the faulty indicator (is not lit) ...

Thanks DD, I will read the pdf!!

I knew you´d understand the details.

But i do not understand why you have chosen such way ... hatch animation logic (hatch has mechanical blocking by handle with some mechanical elements[/SIZE])

I know that the handle was not used to move the hatch but to lock it when in closed position only. But I had to provide the player with some cleary visible and easily usable control.

... and large quantity of meal moved from the field of vision through Fuel Dial controller ... it is very "expensive" pleasure... i mean computer (and game) resources ... a

I know it is. But I can´t think of another way to make it happen at the moment. Besides I reckon that nowaday´s computers are able to handle it.

nd these not fixed cameras ... i'm not fan ...

You can revert to stock or GWX cameras.dat, if you like. This will bring back fixed cameras.

And... i tried your mod (GWX 3.0 variant) and have noticed loss of part of Graph Animations... in other words

This issue has been fixed with V3.06.

What is it ... i did not understand ...

Never mind, just a missunderstanding. I wanted to say that I think you would understand the technical details behind the mod very well.

P.S.

Thanks for the info. I´ll consider to add the green light when running surfaced. The third state (unlit) however can not be incorporated in my mod. I didn´t dig deep enough into event triggered actions to indicate a faulty state. And I don´t think it´s worth the effort. I hope the player´s happy with what he´s got.

If I am not mistaken, U-boats didn't have the green light in the x-mas tree. I think that was red and white!

The awesomeness behind this mod is getting even more awesome witch any update!

Kudos Duck!

[Rapt0r56]

Also nochmal DD, vielen lieben dank für deine ganze mühe, ich denke von dir wird noch vieles tolles kommen auch für die anderen boote deren OpenHatch noch in arbeit sind. Es gefällt mir unglaublich gut mit meinen Das Boot Lichtern, da es dadurch auch dunkler im Boot wird, und jedes mal wenn ich auf Sehrohrtiefe oder normal auf Tauchstationen gehe, gehen die Lampen an und stechen im dunkelm Innen Ambiente bei Nacht gut hervor. Ich schätze wirklich deinen Detailreichtum und den Perfektionsdrang der dahinter steckt.
Ganz großes Kino!

Hi DivingDuck,

your work is really fantastic One of the greatest mods Especially the food is great!

As others have already said, a version with open, fixed hatch would be great for those who change the AOB/TDC a lot.

Thanks for the great work!

Best, LGN1

Hmm, previous version (3.05) worked just fine but with this one i get a CTD every time i load up a type 7?? Any ideas?

I see you wish to make the maximum interactive interaction of the player and submarine control ... i'm not fan ... but good luck!
For myself i have made simple animation of hatch opening/closing, as well as in the previous version of OH mod in GWX 3.0 ...
If it's interesting to you... d/l and look short (681 KB) video:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/dyz2gk...HatchMovie.wmv

P.S.
If there will be time and desire i will make the control bulb of hatch opening/closing ... on "X-mas tree"... using my animations to make it is very simple task ... only i do not know where to place this bulb ...?

I´ve just test-downloaded the archive and installed the mod over a stock SHIII. It worked fine. I´d suggest you download again. Maybe the archive got corrupted on download.

Thanks for the link. I like the video. Opening the hatch via key command is a great option. And I´d like to know how you made it. So, yes, I´m interested. Would you share the needed files for me to investigate?

DD

Hello DD,

same problem as Flakmonkey. CTD with 3.06.

Installed mods:

GWX Gold 3.0
OLC Gold Mk II d
OLC Gold MK II flat sun fix
OH 3.06
OH GWX fix
OH Olc fix.

Without the last three mods everything works fine.

Regards
