[REL] gap - PVC Floor

[GT182]

Cool beans Gap! Now we have really silent footsteps. I'll have it installed asap. Will it be ok to install while at sea?

Question on the interior color. In the panorama views, is that the real inrterior color of the times back in WWII, or painted that way so it's easier to see the interior in today's time? I've seen U-boat interiors but can't remember the color they used back then.

I think so.
Please, report any lag with the use of this mod.

Imo dark U-boat interiors are just a faulty meme that spread over with the help of movies like Das boot.
Think of it: why would they have painted the interior of their boats with dark paintgs? Wasn't it claustrophobic enough, yet? Adopting dark colours would have only worsened the situation, with both psychological and practical bad effects on crews efficiency.

But then again, this is just my speculation, since I have never visited an U-boat.

Interesting mod. Will download.
Some pictures from ingame would be good.

Gap, remember, we do have Sober's No Footstep Sound mod. It works already and should also work with your PVC Floor v 0.1 for Silent Hunter 5. Try it first with Sober's before you jump in changing anything. Looks like I won't get to try your PVC mod until late tomorrow. I have to work all day tomorrow..... unless it rains.

I'll release soon a Carpet U-boat Floor Mod for maximum compatibility with sober's No Footstep Mod

In the meanwhile I have something else in mind. I've found some audio samples that may suit, with some editing, our brand new PVC floor.

I you look at when the files featured in this mod were modified the last time, you will notice that I had forgot them in a dusty corner of my external HD for more that one year. I am sure that you will take a better care of them than I did!

Don't tell anyone, but I am 99% sure he is an under cover British Intelligence agent. Do you remember his interest in enigma code?

More, I've discovered that his speech recognition engine is installing microphones everywhere on our U-boat. I've found one of them in the stew, and yet another one under von Dobenecker's blindfold.

Great Mod. I've been waiting for a differant floor for the boats, this looks like the trick.
If we dogo to carpet, I would like an indoor/outdoor green to resist water damage and...oh never mind.

Pick the colour you prefer from our assorted pattern book of first-rate moquettes...



May I suggest a cream color? It will make a good contrast with Naight's dark interior.
Or rather you are into persian carpets?

But one thought about, the floor in U-995 museum ship at Laboe wouldn´t be the original in this times.

You can consider this mod from realistic to semi-ficticious... blame it on MiTon

This mod will install while you're at sea on patrol. No problems seen so far.

I save all my mods in a special place...... on a DVD. I learnt my lesson the hard way.

New version of my little mod ready for release.

Has anyone tested v 0.1 long enough to exclude any major bug with it, or to report any issue that should be addressed with the upcoming release?

In the engine room a pvc floor is a bit unrealistic.

True, though -being a photograph of the set of Das boot- the image posted by you can't prove anything!

I will try asking BIGREG how to give engine room's floor a different material than the rest of the sub

[THE_MASK]

I like the pvc floor pattern . It just gives the sub a different look .
Here is a photo , dont know what type of sub .
