The conning tower is also tweaked with fog removal and darkened ambiance but I've stayed clear of any blue lighting as it is not historically accurate. I'll try to get the .dat files uploaded as soon as I'm happy with my tweaks.

Beauty...Love it...

Upload it .....

Damo, will these .dat files be based on lucas open conning tower CT.dat? other wise we loose the open conning tower in the CT.dat file

No, I don't use that mod, BUT, I was under the impression that when you link the CT to the CR as in that mod, the CR.dat ambient light settings are used so it should be uniform. It's just the lightbulbs in the open conning tower that would need individual tweaking, although you could probably get away with it as the ambient light affects the bulbs brightness and hue anyway. I don't intend on adjusting those myself, but it's pretty simple to do yourself in S3D, if I can do it, anyone can, trust me.

Here's what I'll do, let me compile the files into a JSGME friendly archive and upload it to fileshare as a beta of sorts. I'll put the CT.dat in an optional folder so it won't overwrite the CT.dat of the Open Conning Tower mod. There'll only be 10 download slots so if people with the open conning tower mod can try it out and provide feedback, I'd appreciate it. PLEASE only download if you intend on posting your findings as it's a beta and you'll be taking up a slot that someone more helpful could have used.

Once it's given the green (red?? lol) light and any gripes have been dealt with I'll release it for general download to all. Be gentle, I'm NOT a modder....



I'll also start a new thread for it once it's fully released so I don't hijack this thread any further.

Alright, I've taken a look at the Open Conning tower mod and it seems like I'll have to make 2 versions, one with OCT and one without. I'm going to upload my original for use without OCT for feedback and once that's sorted and I'm ready to release, I'll make the OCT version too, releasing both simultaneously.

See what you guys do??? Make more work for me and delay the release for everyone else......

Win.Home 32 bit,Core duo 3.00GHz, 3,24 GB RAM.and geforce 9800GTX.

I'm running with no problems whatsoever, but I have a quad core processor and geforce 9800GTX overclocked and loads of RAM, plus I have tweaked the graphics card.

I would be curious to know Flakmonkey's specs as he did the most testing and the mod will run well on his system as the min specs

I had a game crush eaven then, when I used file with only textures from FM's mod, and this is strange for me.
[Edit]
Ok, today I'll check everything once again. Maybe there is Id conflict somewhere in my game. I must be sure.

With the new Interior mod listed first and the Full open the Conning Tower Hatch 0.6 and no other mods running. I get just past the crew bunk and the camera freezes and I get this error saying "camera out of sectors"

can't save a screen shot of that sorry.


My rig is as follows:

dell 4550
2.5 ghz
2 gb ram
3600 series AT with 1gb ram
game runs very smooth as does SH4

I'm not sure, but i believe that you need to use "Coning tower Open hatch TestFM Food" (where FM means Flatmonkey's new interior - this one with diesels room !!-) instead of Full open coning tower hatch 0.6. It has to be enabled after FM New Interior 1.0.
(this combination works well for me !!)


I think you don't need Full open the conning tower hatch 0.6 as this one don't allow camera connection between it and "Flatmonkey's CR" (included in FM NewInterior 1.0 mod).

Now I remeber the engines were animated and there was a nice engine sound. Now I have non. Any ideas?

From one Nemo to another, my specs are as follows:

Windows XP SP3
Pentium Dual-Core @2.5Ghz
2Gb RAM
Nvidia 8400GS @512Mb

Didn't use the 3Gb patch or Anvart's file, just good old GWX with the following enabled:

GWX-Alternate Load Screen
GWX-Enhanced Damage effects
GWX 16km atmosphere
No continuous ship spotted
Water Stream + exhaust V2.3
WBNN Mission Orders Lite
GWX-2 no Ring Ring mod
FM_NewInterior 1.0

Cheers!

Many thanks for the exceptional qualilty of this mod, combinded with GFX a new lease of life is given to SH3, prooving how good SH3 was to start with. Thanks again, wish I could help at times

Dear all,

that is the first time in my SH3-life, that I feel totally confused.

With FM/DD-new interior I had CTD´s with old patrols on old campaigns. But I could start a new campaign.

Then I took out FM/DD-new interior with a mod-list like this now (GWX3 inclusive):

GWX 3 St Naz and Schluese and other units
OLC 'Gold' MkII ~ Option 4 ~ Environment with EDE and GUI with LRT
OLC 'Gold' MkII ~ MkIId Update (Enable After MkIIc)
U-Boat Bases Map with New St Nazaire
Radio Deutschland
Radio England
Radio USA
DFant_subFlag_2010
SlowFLagAnim
Conning Tower open Hatch093food
Conning Tower open Hatch _Fix_for_OLC_GUI_1

According to Luca his mod "Conning Tower open Hatch093food" has integrated the DD-open hatch 3.09.

Now I can start a new campaign but I have still CTD´s with former patrols/old campaign, although these patrols were done with DD 3.09 and no new interior and no Conning tower open Hatch.

I understood, that there are presently memory-problems with the new interior.

I think I wait a month until the new mods run better on my 2 GB main memory-PC. Perhaps I play Super Mario.

Regards
Nuss
