you send the list ...John is making the corrections ....can't be easier than this !

Hi makman !

You don´t understand me right !

I mean, you send me all the words without correction, the words you CURRENT use for the dial-description (you can transcribe from the pictures), and then I will correct the words !

Best regards,
Magic

Oh no Alberto ....you 'got' me !
i thought that i had 'covered' this so well that everyone would believe at the end that are flood tube indicators! i even made them pointing 'down' (and not...'up' ) for more 'cover' from inspections !
now,if this is pure porn wait to see it in 'action' (you know...moving up and down,up and down...) then without doupt...someone can call it ...100% hardcore !

No, no I had already suspected those others were flood tube indicators. I meant actually those on the bottom right of the corner, for chief engineer, helmsman, etc. They are simply beautiful, streamlined but detailed and very, very fitting

You certainly have a talent for capturing period atmosphere

I thought the suggestion is quite obvious - no gradient on TDC labels. The gradient labels looks overdone, unrealistic and candy - like vista in comparison to windows xp My suggestion is - keep it simple, don't overdo

thats exactly what the attack map is 'trying' to simulate .on the other hand, the 'green' line (torpedo's course run) is the result exactly of your(player) settings(and NOT necesseraly the correct solution) so it is normal to be able (if you want) to draw on map the torpedo's course run .
now, if still believe that this 'green' line is unrealistic it is easy to eliminate it. the ''contact.tga'' image is responsible (and) for this 'green' line.by creating a full transparent ''contact.tga'' image ....you will totally eliminate this green line.

as for the firing panel i see now what you meant and redone it (no...afaik it can't be switchable--sh3 limits):

Makman,your explanation eases my mind and I can believe it as real now.I never ever used the TDC panel as I thought it was cheating and now I can enjoy it fully.And I love the new firing panel.It was only me that noticed it and yet you did the work,thanks man!

the videos are quite good, but none of them shows the sea state we are talking about (10-12 Beaufort). I doubt that a video of such a sea state exists... I also am a sailor and know how boats behave in waves, but you actually cannot complain submarines and sailing boats or trawlers, the physics (center of buoyant, balance point, reserve buoyancy) are completely different. A citation from the Typenkompass: German warships: submarines 1935-1945: Type IIa: "Despite their small size and insignificant armament, these boats were able to really scare even experienced sailors for they were very movable in many ways: roll an pitch was so heavy, that even experienced sailors got seriously seasick."

In my opinion, the left/richt sway has to be enlarged to ge a realistic behaviour (which I did with all subs).

Best regards, MCHALO12.

I mentioned where I feel a sub can roll in below posts.It is not really modeled in the SH series though.If a sub is parallel to a beach and a big kahuna wave comes in the sub will ride up the wave sideways and tilt over going as you say 90deg.It seems as though the waves come right at boat head on always in SH.And they are very close together and no tweaks I have tried in Scene.dat seem to help that....only makes it look worse.

Here is another video showing stability in roll with a lot of pitch even for a very big sub(IX?).Also at 03:00 on it shows a sub bow coming way WAY out of the water and men actually walking to the very front of the boat while this is happening.But,yeah man,it really is to each their own.Its why SH-editor rules.

Hi mate, could you PM me the list of all the English and Corresponding German Names for both the FAt/Lut and TDC Panel that can be seen in the Preview Pics that Makman posted.
I'll redo them all to correct names and new font/bages graphics.
Cheers Mate.

Sorry if it has been asked before, but when can we expect this mod (more or less)?

When It's done

whole sh3 game needs some serious overhaul!!! interesting thing was mentioned by tdw, the sh3.exe might be able to be changed. so it calls different shaders for the water...

- weather and water effects from sh5
- crew models and interior graphics from sh5
- crew management from sh4
- full functional wolfpacks and interaction with them

this would be the greatest sim ever.

Yes but TDW said he wasn't interested in anything for SH3

[Bakkels]

Well, in his defense; he recently already made a lot of beautiful mods. Some of them were originally for sh4, but he was nice enough to make them compatible for sh3, even though he has no interest in sh3 anymore.

Now doing all the things Urfisch asked for takes a lot of complex work. And involves coding and changing the .exe file I believe.
Even trying to explain the basics on how to do this would probably take a lot of time. Not to mention the huge amount of work it would take to implement this all in the mod. It would take ages for it to be finished I assume.

Though it's a shame for us, I can understand if DarkWraith doesn't want to put in a lot of his time in a game that he has no interest for.

[urfisch]

yes, i also understand him. but what i do not understand is, why he does not share his knowledge - in small tutorials. if he would, we could learn and maybe start to do these changes by ourself.

we need definitely knowledge to be spread here. there are just a few who know quite much about the code and how to change things deeper in game (beside all the good ones, who left the boat with sh5 beeing released) but there are also many who are willed to mod and do not have the knowlegde. this is a big handicap for the success in modding here.

just my opinion.

It would be almost the same as asking h.sie or Stiebler to prepare "small tutorials" for assembler programming - just small, tiny tutorials...

SH5 Seafloor looks very bad. Can not even settle to seafloor.

I would like to see this Seafloor in SH3 and SH5.

@ Reaper7 and makman: Here come my corrections (look at the second words, first words the mistake).

Hope that helps,
