[REL]Full open the Conning Tower Hatch 0.9.3

[Sailor Steve]

That is really cool! I like the animated buttons! Now all we need is the guy sitting there to drive the boat.

As Uber Gruber pointed out, there is a steering position on the bridge, and one in the conning tower as well. When the captain is at the attack periscope the 1WO was there with him to take orders, and there was a helmsman there to steer.

As it is now, GOOD SHOW!

Good job Luca. Keep going. When you draw level with me, I can hand over the OH business to you and go into retirement.

Don't you dare say that DD...not even in jest

There is still loads of unfinished business vis-a-vis the interior!

At the risk of causing you any cranial combustion, dare I remind you of the Forward Officers Accomodation/Ward Room?

Not to mention the completion of the engine compartment which Flakmonkey is working on.

Also it seems from photos I've recently seen, the Control Tower layout needs a complete redesign.

Not pushing you or anything but you've only got until March to get all this done. 'Cos then you'll probably be needed to repeat the process on SH5

Silent Hunter without Diving Duck......unthinkable!!

Absolutely must not do such a thing
You were a pioneer and to you all the honors of this great mod that created the
everything I do is only on your
I got inspiration from your file and I must say that the did a great job
Unfortunately I have great limitations and do not think I can do miracles
1) I have no doubt your constancy
2) problems with texture mapping for now (I'm studying)
3) with hex editor are zero
4) As you can see I can not write in English (I am a poor ignorant Italian)

I still have to grow much

we always need you because you're the best !!!!!!!

regarding the BBC boxes out of the turret just think there are problems
I've already watched yesterday afternoon I wanted to turn the telegraph and compass all the time but now I have to fix the textures in CT (I'm still learning about it, if it fails to ask some of you)

if any of you wish to use parts of my mod for them I'd be really happy and honored, thank you all for the compliments and appreciations cli I'm just having fun

Thanks to all
luca

hello Luca,

great work!! god job !! Well done !!

Finally i can watch from the tower down to cr.

But I´ve detected another little problem.

when I start a career in 39 at war beginning and I recieve a Type IIa boat I cannot go up to the bridge/conningtower only inside the tower but one step up does not function.

otherwise with the type IId i can.... mysteriously...

maybe you can fix this ? (I think there is need of a little change in cameras.dat) but i´m not an expert.

regards

Hi I have added another detail I wanted a mod to your thinking, let it deserves or not?

now on the surface of the turret hatch will remain open when you reached the 7-meter dive will close
when it emerges attained 7.5 meters will open

Attach photos of explanation, let me know if you find it a stupid idea or you can work in this direction




I must find a way to put something over the hole to simulate day and night and how to change it.

Hello Luca,

very great work. The floor texture for the tower looks good.

And your Idiea of the open hatch up to the conning tower is pretty good.

In our german Ubi-forum "Die Kapitänskajüte" is a modder who´s building the Type VII B new and he´s got a similar idea like you but a little different. Look at this thread:

http://forums-de.ubi.com/eve/forums/...2191020118/p/2

If you and Testpilot put your works together, we could watch from the CR through the tower up in the sky...

Very very very great work that you and our german modder "testpilot" are doing. i´m looking forward to it.

By the way, Have you the camera problem at the IIa already in progress ?

For example in the materials.dat there is a code string called "Texture modifier". It controls the textures on the gauges and changes them, if the boat gets damaged. I only know about the existance of these controller, but i do not know, how it depends and works in detail. hope that might help. Maybe the clouds change the same way...and maybe one can use this technique to place the sky textures even on a "small plate" above the hatch to simulate. And there is also a controller called "state machine controller", which let the engine change "states" in the boat. DivingDuck has a lot of experience with these...The best would be to have the original exterior above the hatch. But i dont know how this might work.

BUT

I discovered something interesting, when trying to get the additional compartment behind the open hatch (DD Open Hatch Mod, first steps). When flying around with the camera to see, if the compartment fits...i "glitched" out of the boat and was about 50m away from the 3d-boat on surface!

Maybe theres something useful in it.

The idea of an open hatch is extremly nice!!!



So far, well done!!
