[REL] Playable S-Boot ( Final )

WOW!!

That was pretty awesome Mikhayl! That would have been insane with 6-8 S-boots attacking!

It's quite a difference: 40 knots versus creeping up at 2 submerged!:rotfl:

One thing I noticed is that the flak guns aren't much use at sinking anything. I can clear decks of turrets and gun mounts, and explode exposed cargo and the like, but the ships don't seem sinkable with flak hits. That's understandable, I think, with big guys like C3 and T3s. But hitting a flower corvette with over 100 rounds at a range of 100 - 300 meters . . . ummm . . . especially considering how easily the elco boats seem able to sink our U-boats.

Do you think anything should be done about that? Maybe increase the damage the rounds do? Or just leave things as they are?

Great Thanks Mikhay,

...that is the best Mod for SH3 ever seen, because I got a lot of fun. Now PLEASE a whole Fleet of all Warships...so will you be busy a Lifetime and we will be happy...
Really, thats such a great thing this mod, I love it.

I installed without Probs with JSGME, running with GWX 2.0 and a Commanderpack of the Aces of the Deep, it caused NO Problems. IT' works fine and I would like to know, how I can reach a DD and sink them...thats really hardly to do:rotfl:

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

in a MP game i managed to get up to 100m of a DD (fired a torp at 500m) and then swift by him without getting hit, eventualy he did got hit by the torpedo

[gimpy117]

im still waiting on the update on the beta that was announced...

[NiKuTa]

Greeat mod. I hope that soon we have a campaing .
I have one question. Could you do that AA guns on S-boat can shoot to the enemy ships and to the aircraft as well ??

[USS Sea Tiger]

I found my goof on why I could not shoot the guns, DUhhhh stupid me.

The lookouts are not in the correct position,
there were two, one faced forward on the port platform just behind the bridge,, the other faced aft and stood on the port platform behind the bridge.

OK being a stuffy purest ,, sorry,

but on a note,, THIS is so fun and is a whole new game,, no longer slowly sneaking up,, now it is a pure rush!!!! get in, attack , plan by the seat of your pants, and

CHARGE!!!!!

I don't understand that. I go to crew management and click on the flak station. When I do, my single flak-qualified PO jumps there, leaving three openings remaining. I then fill those three slots with the former seamen lookouts so that all four spots of the flak stations are filled. When I do that, all three flak guns are then manned and functional.

Ummm, yeah . . . that'd be a big help! ::grins:: There's about a 3 - 5 second delay between issuing an order and having it carried out. That's not terribly noticible when driving a U-boat, but when you're wave-hopping at 40 knots boy oh boy does that delay seem like forever! Especially when you're barrelling right towards a tanker and fire a torpedo at 400 meters and go hard to port . . . and it takes forever! ::grins:: to have that order acknowledged and carried out!

I'm going to make a seperate GWX install for MP; I've been planning on doing that anyway, and now seems a good time ::grins:: Maybe we can try this again there and see what that's like and check how this runs.

Amazing work, Mikhayl. It's NGYM 2.6 compatible.

About textures I noticed that while the boat reflects properly on water, the lights have no effect on the hull, I didn't notice so far but exiting from the illuminated pens of Kiel at night makes it obvious and kinda odd. Not the best shot to show it but it should do :




@Albrecht, thanks, I didn't notice that one when testing, should be a 10-seconds fix :hmm:

About the boat, I think I finally got rid of a self enabled bug ( ) with the damage model (not present in the first beta). Also night helped me to figure a way to add the waving flag. I'll give it a try now, could be a nice eye-candy touch despite the current model. Also I'll see to add the emblem thingy that I had overlooked in first place (also should be straight forward).
And hopefully some other neat stuff coming soon :hmm:

PS : I hope that no fool mistake will keep me out of multiplayer for testing tonight

Cheers

No, what I want to do is repaint the hull and decks.

[miner1436]

When I loaded it in the .DAT it said "import failed: wrong color depth (24 bits)"

[CCIP]

I just saw this.



You do realize I'm quite a big fan of S-boot tactics.

getting. VERY quicky.

(I don't know why I missed news of this in the last couple of days, anyway)

You can also try with the "stock" GWX texture, they are in sh3/data/sea/npt_ge/. The hull textures are in the folder and the deck texture is in the .dat.
Sorry I have no other idea

I am using DatTexExtract by Ubisoft.

Here's a S-100 picture that would be up to par I think, I'll post it in .tga and .jpg.
