You need to pick a "selfillu" chunk in another dat, import it in your typeII interior.dat and attach it to a material. Then give it a name like "bulkhead_O01.tga" and place the lightmap texture rendered by 3dsmax in your data/textures/tnormal/tex/ folder.
..............................................

Hmm !!:hmm:

I saw this picture ( little Lamp ) in the TGA File Folder
and i Imported that all so .
I gave them the name mod_5 ( Like my TGA Picture Name by my TGA- FOLDER )
…. What effect has this in the TGA folder???
So I think hire is the name all so important.:hmm:

Default Meny Thenks !!

I'll play it! and verify … …..Meny Thenks !!!.

Yesterday I was annoyed that I UVW what I MentalRay pretends not define themselves,

But I must always take what purports to me MentalRay

As you've seen these little rounds arc too small , because go to the maximum 2Pixel prepare the round arc. .. I minn thet > #63 ( Picture on the Top )


Whenever I build Bigger the arc and had made the UVW redefined
So the whole object Bigger had made and saved had ea Mental ray
back and I had again as the small circles on top of the picture.


I'm not quite sure whether today I've found the solution,
but I think it is from - Auto Unwrap click to Use Existing - I believe that the solution.:hmm:

Yes that's right, the "auto unwrap" isn't always good. You can do it yourself using a simple uvw unwrap modifier, collapse it, and then in the "render to texture" menu choose "use existing channel"
Yes. That way the lightmap will be same like the UV layout. That results a perfect match. I tried this out yesterday on my bed <---- (EDIT: my in game bed not the real one) and it was beautiful

Great work. Cant wait to get to run around in the torpedo room like a little child in a candy store

Default Rendern !!

It is possible for 3D Max on render with MentalRay ( Occlusion) and then to seve to- DDS File
However, a menu bar where I was the right thing DDS setting does not know?

I know that there is something with X3 or X5 (option can choose)
as what option you have dan ( render ) ?
and what is the best quality to do them ???? (I do not mean UVW) :hmm:

I appreciate the evidence !!

TGA works, but DDS is the way to go. Not only is the filesize smaller, DirectX can handle them in an optimized way, increasing loading times and reduced GFX memory.

While testing, go for TGA. When releasing to the public, simply convert them all to DDS and drop the TGA's. No need to alter anything (unless you use embedded textures)

There is a confusion , usually the radio room for type II is what we can see in the screenshot below, this screenshot dont agree with the real black/white photo we can see below , I guess the screenshot is actually the real situation of Type II


radio operator in the small radio room of a type ii u-boat

Hmm! Very interesting, this is the only image what you have, the type II?

It would be good if we had more of it, nor can we change it!

Hi,

I think these pictures show different stations: The first picture is the radio-room.
But the SH4-screenshot shows the hydrophone-station.... (The radio-room in SH4 is further to the back)

So I guess there would be no need to change them in SH4... (It would be interesting to compare the actual radio-room in the SH4-control-room with the photo, maybe there are differences there?)

All the best to you, and thanks for the interesting real photo
