Your idea is brilliant! I would also suggest a helm/dive control box. Course/compass control box. If you are ambitious, a torpedo data control box. With those three, wow.
Lots of work and cost though. I'd be a customer. ![]()

![]() It's all about making things work with either- Keyboard commands, which is really obvious and easy. Macros. Keyboard and mouse profiles, (like you get with gaming mice or joysticks) or maybe some light "on top" coding, that doesn't edit Silent Hunters. My colleague at work can code really well, so can look into it further if need. It actually isn't as hard as you might think (for a torpedo launch control at least, as pictured above) but there are pebbles to try and crack, yes, like a TDC or Compass control, I haven't even thought about those yet. We'll see. Quote:
For now i'm speaking as a Silent Hunter player, documenting a personal project of things that we want to use our self in game, but I have an email should you want to PM me for it, with any questions you have outside of the forum. ![]() ![]() But for now, lets see if I can get this into fruition first, and see how it works out. But cost wise to actually create the torpedo launch box at least, will be very small i'd imagine. P.S - I typed all that out on this- ![]() My friend made it for me to use at work with old PC and arcade machine parts, as i can't afford a laptop.

So been trying to find parts, and so far had some luck.
![]() Not exactly what we're looking for but getting closer. Found some green LED button lights too, but that's the easy part. If anyone has any suggestions for a housing that more fits the look then suggest away. Currently just trying to copy that design as pictured in the first post. -edit- Re: the first picture aka SH4 torpedo launcher, I was looking around the forum and saw someone had posted an interior shot of a sub, and it had a launch control that this must have been based off, believe it was a Balao class. Does anyone know where that thread is? Last edited by Grind_and_Click; 03-21-13 at 09:58 AM. |
