I'll check
back soon

Edit;
Nope, their feet are visible, not sunk into the deck but as you said - with a slight levitation.

For anyone brave enough to try I have an Alpha for testing:

IMPORTANT: FOR MO ONLY -- must be applied after

http://www.gamefront.com/files/20636..._MORE_CREW.zip

What to Expect:

• There are 9 new crew members in the aft quarter room.
• They should appear in the VIIA,B,C.C/41
• In good weather they'll go out on deck so long as
  • You are Surfaced
  • The Weather is good
  • None of the guns are manned
  • You are not hunting or hunted
• When submerged, if the weather is bad or the guns are manned they will appear back in their quarters and idle stupidly
• When in the bunker, they will be on deck in full uniforms waiting your orders

This alpha is to see how it works on other people's setup. If everything is fine then we can get some more stuff going on.

IMPORTANT: You will most likely need to load a mission/campaign TWICE for the crew to appear i.e load your campaign, once loaded hit RETURN TO MAIN MENU and then reload.

As I mentioned, this is built on MO so other people's work is partially included in these files. I don't think this counts as redistributing but if it does, I'll certainly do whatever is needed.

Enable with JSGME as usual

Big thanks to everyone who's helped, suggested and prodded along the way

Let me know how it goes!

• Initial alpha released

Suggestions to look at for future releases:
* Link crew on deck to UI and/or speed
* Responses to DMG_TKN, SIL_RUN, PROX_EXPL
* Response to Crash Dive command: Crew runs to fore tubes

Affirmative Sgt

This is The Ui-boat User Interface by Reaper7.
Used it this morning to test this new More Crew Mod's compatibility.




This is a standalone UI so you can't use it with MO or New UIs by TDW so disable them and after this you can enable it with JSGME.

Download it here

Yes I can. This is the way I clear the deck if I want it to be cleared. I just hit F6 to have crew man Flak guns then the guys on deck go under. Works great!

edit: I read that wrong, Thought you were asking me if they went under when guns were manned

[mia389]

While on patrol today I found a bug. The crew got stuck lol. Here were the conditions.

I had crew below by manning flak guns, weather was good. I dived for sound check and went back up to bridge. When I got up on top weather was pretty bad. Crew was on deck in storm so I hit man flak gun. I noticed the crew lying down in mid air. Not sure if they were already like that or if it happened when I pressed manned flak gun. I think manned flak gun and heavy seas might of been the condition. Crew was stuck in the position of screen shot below. I couldn't get them back under.

After reloading the game they went back under. I surfaced (as my save was under water) and crew stayed below. Was a storm so seemed to work good after the reload of save.

Silent Steel, I see you mention you use UIboot therefore cannot use MO.

Are you seeing the same problems Sober had when using it without MO?

(crew stays on deck in bad weather ect?)

[Rickster1]

I just tried using the mod without MO but using dw;s tdws and had the same problem in rough weather and they were on the deck

[Paris_England]

Aww shucks -- somethings not right there.

I'll take a look and see what the problem is -- thanks for the heads up

@Rickster1 -- "dw;s tdws" -- you mean TDW's UI? Or something else?

P

[Rickster1]

Yes tdw ui,s . sorry

Yes I may give this a shot, using MO, but no TDW's. crew seem to be stuck on deck after dive. Non the less thank You for the mod, I am more than sure it will be perfect soon.
