[REL] Fm_NewInteriors v1.0...

[brett25]

BUG report:

Im on my second new career at this point because into a career, the hatches suddenly will not open anymore. Im beginning to suspect this is an issue with SH3gen. When I run sh3gen, im thinking something new gets written to the save game data that causes a problem. Can anybody confirm this? This is frustrating , Everything is working well, untill I load a save and no open hatches. Shift H no longer works.

Is there anyway of having a version that does NOT have animated hatches?
Just simply open hatches? This feature seems to add unneeded complexities.

thanks alot!!

Brett


Update_ I was able to delete the hatches from the model and this works, but it would be nice to simply have them in open position. Could someone tell me the rotational settings for the hatches?

An update from me. I just tryed to load my next new patrol with the Interiors mod enabled and it CTD'd before the 'Not so long ago...' message. I had previously loaded a save and a new patrol with the OH 3.09 mod with no issues on top of my existing mods, of which there were many, some quite demanding. I'm using XP 32bit without any boot.ini switches or .exe patches.

One thing that I've noticed is that any previous crashes I've had have been related to kernel.dll, but in the case of the interiors mod it's always ntdll.dll. I don't know if this is any help or whether it is the mod alone that causes it or a combination of all of them, but it seems strange that I get a different error for interiors.

I hope there is a way to fix it but otherwise I'll have to wait until I upgrade my RAM and get W7.

Make sure the weapons officer is at his station. I thought the same thing too when on my save games almost none of the animations would work.

However, usually the Obs scope will not work unless submerged first, not surfaced, but you can hit the O key and raise it, then once under and select periscope depth it will work from then on regardless. The hatch command Shift/ctrl +H works when the weapons officer is at his station. I open mine and keep them open. After saved gamed you have to re-open them again.

Once surfaced, select the WO and give him the order to seek contacts, this will make the planesman disappear. Once you dive they will automatically reappear. The engine animations will work if you hit one of the speed keys i.e. 1,2,3,4,5...it'll get noisy too.

Gramophone animations will not work without the radio operator at his station.

Sound: I went into the sound sh3.sdl file with Silent 3D Editor and the bottom entry is the new diesel sound files. I turned the volume down to 90%. The hydrophone volume control has been omitted in this mod, probably from the "click" option that was integrated in the mod. I also went into the sh3.sdl file and turned up the Hydrophone ambience to 100%, it was set at 91%.

As it was said before," Read the "effin" manual"...which sorry to say I didn't read completely. I did all of the editing (I use Magui/OLC) in the *.cfg and camera.dat files. Everything works great now. The mod author made a few "slights" perhaps. Almost all fixable. This is perhaps one of the biggest mods I have seen since GWX. I think one of the hurdles with this new mod is that there are so many other older mods to contend with. It will be awhile before all the ducks get into a row. The author of this mod did a fantastic job for which I am grateful. Almost re-invented the sim itself.

Anyway....read the manual, make the necessary edits and look at all the other posts. Some of the other modders have already made their updates for this FM mod. Good luck!!

Sorry Anvart , can you explain what is this for, What it will improve over The SHIII running on XP???

I'm guessing but I think it's a batch file for patching the sh3.exe which require the boot.ini to be edited independantly. He warned it won't make a backup of the sh3.exe so this should be done first. If this is XP-Specific I shall be giving it a try.

FWIW, I did the /3GB patch/boot.ini thing last night on my Windoze XP-Pro 4 GB PC as well as combining the .sdls from the FM Interior, Lifeboats and Debris and Animated Sub Pens mods and, so far, it has solved my CTDs. I even added a few new mods to my enormous list of enabled mods, so far so good.

I don't know if this has any effect on other programs yet, I will have to see.

Best Regards

Hi, my friend.
Did you read this stuff:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...hf(VS.80).aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...74(VS.80).aspx

It's native MicroSoft program (is in Visual Studio 2008, MSDN)...
Citate: " /LARGEADDRESSAWARE - This option edits the image to indicate that the application can handle addresses larger than 2 gigabytes."
...
In other words - the same as 4gb_patch ... but with more options...
