[REL] SteelViking's Interior Mod

[pascal4541]

It's a very good job Essential

[SteelViking]

Sooooo, everyone knows that light bulbs on u-boats were incandescent. But, the light bulbs inside the sub in the game are pure white. A few folks may remember a while back several of us modders went crazy trying to get the game to turn the bulbs yellowish(nit picky detail I know, but it drove me crazy too).

Well, I think that I have finally found a solution. I have been able to get the lights to look right on my comp. Now I just need some folks to test this so that I can make sure that it runs correctly for everyone.

It is a very small download, and it will be very simple to test.
Any volunteers?

Count me in. I've been restarting my game every 15 minute for last few days anyway.

I'll try it, I'm so looking forward to when you've finished the 1.2 version of this mod.

PMs sent with a link to the testing material. Thanks mates.

Status Report:
Though I have been very busy with real life issues, I have done more work on V1.2 in addition to the touchups to Conus00's graphics mods. Here is how things stack up not including this breakthrough with the lights:

- Redid kitchen area(cookbook, soup, cutting board, carrots, cook's knife) to be much more real and natural looking.

- Redid curtain around captains bed to look like real cloth.

- Changed some of the crew's(non dialog crew) heads out with unused/less used ones, so that a larger variety of faces will be seen around the sub.(I did this through a different method than Heretic's Mighty Fine Crew mod, so they should be totally compatible).

- Touched up and replaced the textures for the food around the sub.

- And a whole ton of other more minor improvements all over the sub

Are you adding more stuff inside the sub? Like more food, crates etc...

Hey SteelViking, I've had the chance to try out the light bulb changes that you sent and find it to work fine on my end. Looks good and after I used it for some time and then disabled the mod to see the difference against stock, wow the stock ones look really white especially in the command room. I think you have just the right amount of yellowish tint to them.

Thanks for testing that. Glad to hear that you like the current setup.

Now that I know that what I did works on other hardware setups just fine, I think I can use that same method to do some other cool stuff that I have been wanting to do........I will keep everyone posted if I make anymore breakthroughs.

Regards SteelViking.
I am using many of his great work and one of the first was this Mod, I make you and those who are involved with this project.
These latest changes are made are very interesting, especially with the lighting of the lamps inside the submarine.
My question is, there will be possibility that these lamps or bulbs light up red or change color at night?, this would add much more realism to the submarine.

Thanks and Greetings again...

PD: Again I apologize for my poor English ...

No problem about the English.

What I have found is turning out to be a pretty big breakthrough. I am not sure of the limits of this yet. As it stands, I know that I can make the light bulbs look red(realistically so) but no one has actually figured out how to get the texture changing controllers to operate in SH5. In other words, I can make them either look realistically yellow or red, but I cannot get them to change with night and day. Really, I thought that what I have already figured out was not possible, so I bet that I will be able to get it to work given enough time.

However folks, I am treading on unknown ground. No one has used these Goblin controllers like this before. So, I will need testers(more than I already have) to make 100% sure that this does not cause any glitches.

I don't think that any problems should arise, but I need to know for sure.

Thank you for your prompt response SteelViking.

Yes, You are right, are walking through unknown lands, but soon it may alter these unknown files ...

I have a game installed on two computers, a main, which I am registered with Ubisoft and the other where I do tests and experiments.
I say this because not many people that are offered as Betatester, for fear of destroying the game and then reinstalling it should again, luckily, I with my two computers, get tested in small and if the modification works, add it a large computer.

When you want me I can test their work, that way I collaborate with my grain of sand, this crusade in which you are located.

Ah, good to have you on board. I am getting close to another thing that I need tested. I will be sending you a link by PM when I get it finished.
