[WIP] silentmichal's new interior mod

kevinsue · 02-20-15, 09:20 PM

I can't play SH5 without this mod! It's my "home away from home" in those quiet times.

A place to get out of the way of everything and read the SOAN or get your head around the Attack Disc!!

I hope that vdr1981 will include this mod in "The Wolves of Steel" at some stage, as it's the only thing holding me back from ditching my mod setup and using TWOS exclusively!

Many thanks gentlemen! I will be adding this mod to my stack!

Since its a graphical mod i dont think it will break nothing in TWOS.

I deleted the "Room_CR.GR2" file from the Submarine/Common/Rooms folder in the mod before I installed with JSGME.

Otherwise it will overwrite the "gap - Real Diveplane Gauges v. 1" mod that is included in TWOS. It just removes a couple of crates of food out of the control room.

Regards......

Merging the two mods and posting here a compatibility patch would be a coup of tea, if only I had access to a decent computer and a reliable web connection.
Anyway, as far as gameplay is concerned, no adverse consequences are to be expected by overwriting TWOS's Room_CR.GR2 with the one by silentmichael: IRC the one changes I made to that file are cosmetic ones (i.e. depth gauge needles shape and initial position).

I think there haven't been any improvements of command room since 1.2.4 version (take a look on the changelog). As far as I remember, In 1.2.4 version I just copied CR file from SteelViking's mod. But I might be wrong ofc

. So, in my opinion you don't lose anything by deleting Room_CR.GR2 file from my mod.

Best regards,
Michael.

G'day gap and Michael,

A couple of questions I'm sure you may be able to help me with.
What program/s do I need to be able to view the crew animations and body parts/ uniforms with, and 3d sub compartments?

I recently made a small mod that changes the crew uniforms to more warm weather and informal attire (shorts/ shirts etc) that I will upload when I get a chance. Slow going as I had to restart SH5 every time I wanted to view a change

Not sure if this has been tried but I want to try using scripts to populate the submarine rooms with the illusion of more crew.

The WO is scripted to go between the Bridge, Control Room and forward crew/radio room so I assume that other available crew slots are not restrained to specific areas.
I am hoping that crew from "out of eyesight" areas can be teleported to "within eyesight" areas as they come into the players view, given new heads and bodies and thus giving the illusion of a crowded boat.
I realise that timings, waypoints etc will have to be worked through and synchronized. Who knows.....if it works we may be able to put the Officers around Michaels dining room table at dinner, singing the Tipperary song!

Maybe some talented 3d artist (hint

) can lower the bunks in the forward torpedo room, add curtains and a "lived in" mess and resting crew that is linked to the Battle stations command to clean it up and allow for torpedo loading when required!!

But.....This is going to have to wait because we have Tropical Cyclone Nathan bearing down on us here in Cairns at the moment so who knows......

Best Regards.....Kev*

Most of the info you'll need can be found in this thread.

You might not know, but I've been experimenting with the crew, here's my old, perhaps unknown, mod:

It can be interesting for you

Everything is possible, but that takes huge anmount of time. Believe me.

That'd be no problem for me, but as I said, I have no time right now.
I don't know how about animations... I tried to add hanging curtains, but no success (I've described it few posts / pages previous)

Regards,
Michael.

Does anyone have the link for "gap - Real Diveplane Gauges v. 1"?
I would like to make a compatibility mod as gap has suggested for "silentmichal's new interior mod" that includes the hotfix plus gaps diveplane gauges.

The Room_CR.GR2 file of the original mod overwrites gaps diveplane gauges. I have been using the mod minus the Room_CR.GR2 file so that you keep the gauges but lose the extra rations stored in the control room
