According to fitzcarraldo these are compatible with TWOS.

When I get back to port I'll test this, as it may be the same situation with gauges not working etc. Looking at the files, in the worst case scenario it might be possible to add just the forward compartment files of Silentmichals and retain the SV files for the CT / Engine room so gauges are unaffected. The Dark Interior mod only changes a few textures, i.e. the floors, so there doesn't appear to be any issues with that, I just can't live with my interior being lit up like a film set, it's the reason I did my lighting and ambiance tweaks for SH3 a few years back.

Really want to get a look at those bulbs in the boat too, look so out of place burning white at night with red lighting.....

Thanks Silent Michael! Thank you!! Finally it is here, the most important mod the whole game! A mod which not affect the game, but makes very for atmosphere, and that's what makes a good game. Thank you! I honestly thought no Modder dares to it, because it might be too difficult or not interested in the other Ubootfahrer.
And now the Mod is there and I have finally a wardroom aboard! Thank you!! The square in the corner immediately became my favorite place when I was not on the bridge. The very well programmed with the automatic is squatting on admission. Commendable also the obligatory Dönitzportrait and the photographs of the commissioning. Unbelievable how this fantastic mod immediately ensures a significantly improved Ubootgefühl.
But just because I find your Mod so good and you ask also suggestions on what you'd like to still be programmed, I've read some reviews and suggestions to make it even more realistic.
1. There was on German submarines no duffle bags. You did indeed drawn very beautiful, but they are nonsense. The duffel bags were ashore in the flotilla and were searched in case of loss of the boat by a special command for condoms and pornography goods before they were handed over to the family.
2. Why has this plethora hang on Salamis just before Kommandantenschapp and not anywhere else in the boat? Just the commander who must fast times jump in the sound room or central, always pushes it. I think that this acts as if the charge of stevedoring boatman or a Smutt Rochus to the captain and wanted to annoy him, because elsewhere is still a lot of space.
3. The ceiling light in the exhibition is mißraten twofold. Once the lampshade is up bright and below it is dark, anything works there does not match the light direction. Moreover, the light does not come. And the lampshade ... In reality there always hung my knowledge a more or less fancy room lampshade at least a little comfort to achieve and not so an ugly scratched Emaillieschüssel.
4. bread in boxes? The hung but in networks also on the ceiling ...
5. An absolute impossibility, these two stacks of crates at the door to Bugtorpedoraum and the bulkhead to the headquarters. When the boatman understood this badly to jam (see point 2) it belongs to a large vessel or to land, but not on board a submarine. That stuff should be elsewhere (aft toilet, abaft of the Centre, under the radio table, the electric engine room, etc.). Such messy it looked despite the best Enge made no German submarine! The stuff tumbles but messed up at the slightest swell ...
6. Can the I.WO "Potter" at Tauchfahrt not sitting in the fair, held haphazardly the corridor to run up and down and to frighten all his wrong Gesturing?
7. The Kombüsenlukleiter depends my knowledge is not used together pushed up in the Luköffnung, so they do not obstruct the Smutt.
8. You can not make move the toilet doors?
9. in the toilets Why are the (seawater) sink?
10. Why is the toilet floors a much coarser "Fotzenmuster" (Quote L.G.Buchheim) displayed as the transition plates? This does not look credible.
11. The aft toilet was my knowledge invariably driven as supplies last, so it should be displayed filled with supplies.
12. Where were the many, shown in the "Youtube" -Vorstellungsfilm for this mod, stock boxes in the aft part of the headquarters? These were very well placed and their absence is a shame.
13 ... and if you are looking for now still do something, the Bugtorpedoraum still a wide field is (the whole room full of torpedoes under slats, people on top terminals in the tightness or dangle in hammocks ...) ...
So thats it. I hope you take my criticism is not bad, but, I mean, your mod is so good, that he has all right to be perfect. I thank you.
Heil Victory and Fat Booty!

This MOD is a Work in Progress as the Forum Thread Title describes.
-= [WIP] silentmichal's new interior mod =-

If you understood how much work was required using the GR2 model format to where this MOD is now, I think you would be far less critical...

Your suggestions are valid for the most part but it will take time to implement.

For what I could understand from USchwalbe's English (I think he used an authomatic translator) he expressed himself in a polite manner and he has made positive criticism, but yeah, in general people have no idea of all the work involved in creating a complex mod like this one, especially where GR2 editing is involved!
Suggestions are always good, but I wish there were more modders for making them true

Good to know, i also will try the mod with TWoS 1.05.

[Yaivenov]

Great mod, can't wait to see more of it.


Do the crates of fresh fruits and veggies vanish first?

Are you up to the Battle of the Mediterranean campaign? The SM interior mod causes CTDs when you start it with TWoS.

Hm, which campaing? MN , BoM, or both?

EDIT:
This also may be due to type II Uboat patch for OHII, which you use, if I'm not mistaken...

About USchwalbe's criticism.

I know this mod isn't PRO-like, I know it's unfinished, I know it's full of bugs. As I said some time ago, I shut down modding for a while. Much time has to be spent in order to understeand GR2 and mod using Granny. That's a lot of work. Of course I'm not shutting down my projects at all. They're still WIP. And that means I may be back here one day.


So I understand your criticism, but please remember it's not an easy job.

Best regards,
Mike.

You need a mirror and sink in the head where Nummer Einz does his shaving.

Thanks for the mod, looks great!

Hi Cybermat
On my 3rd patrol in Happy Times no problems to date.

I love this MOD!
I have a External Camera issue as soon as any cargo is removed.
I have investigated issue using cargo items loaded from GR2 and DAT file sources in all interior and exterior compartments. I even had a Jeep on my aft deck.
As soon as Dial Controller removes any cargo item, the exterior camera view of local player Boat no longer works for me. External Camera View still works on all other contacts.
For most players, this is not an issue but I do like my eye candy.

This camera issue is not caused by this MOD but by how the game engine handles Dial controller removing item.

When time permits, I do have one more place to test loading cargo items that disappear over time using Dial Controller. Hopefully this will work.

Does anyone know of another method to implement vanishing cargo???

Regards!

I am adding Halo effect to lights in the Room QR1 but I am having trouble getting the halo color to change.

If anyone knows how to do this please let me know.

[silentmichal]

Wonderful !

Perhaps I'm wrong, but ist't halo contained in some texture file?
