This is great with them getting up and going to the ladder, and Depp coming over from the other compartment.

It doesn't matter if they clip every once a while, because it adds so much to the liveliness of the boat.

Edit: One thing, sometimes when I surface (with the S key) they won't go up top. I've seen you mention the IsSurfaced flag before, so it's probably related to that. I wonder if we can implement a passive/active command to the chief or watch officer that says, crew up top, or crew diving positions to trigger the animations... I'll dig through the scripts today see if I can find anything.

It's a bug that goes back to at least SH4. I've been trying to come up with a way to get around this. I can set them to trigger with silent running so you can force them down that way. That might make them go back up if you turn of silent running tho. I think it should be possible to make a global variable that be set by a command to override it. That's getting beyond the scope of crew scripting tho and starts running into mod incompatabilties. I'm sure it'll get worked out one way or another.

Default Issue Please help

hello. love the mod. question, when I order periscope depth I do not see anyone coming down the latter. When i look up towards the top hatch it is closed. is this normal? Also do you find yu can't order diving while you are on the bridge. thanks bro.

Animate them!

This mod is crazy, makes the game already 10 times more immersive. Heretic, i would even donate you some $ if you could animate all commands for the sub + damage + flooding. People running around if you order crash dive. people crashing to ground if the sub gets hit etc. Or people walking around the deck if its surfaced and no battlestations on.

Most of it shouldnt be so hard because the animations are already all there

Thanks. That's the plan. After I get the bridge watch completed to my satisfaction, I'd like to pretty much rewrite the exisiting strategies to make each crewman do the appropriate actions for submerged cruising, surfaced cruising, battle surface, and battle submerged, taking damage, the works. The devs have given us a pretty cool sandbox to play in.

Very very cool.

Is there any way to have them change out once their watch is over? I am sure I am getting ahead of myself.

Sure. It's very simple. Some of them already do. The crewman who mans the flak gun, for instance. In his bunk, he's in shorts. When on duty, he's in more appropriate garb.

is it possible to give watchman at...lets say 50% chance a binocular? so you could have 2 guys with binoculars, or just one etc...would give the game more variety.

What do you think? is it possible that the gunner would actualy climb down the ladder and use the deck gun? that would be so immersive...using binoculars and pressing space and than you see how your guys do theyr work

Are there raincoats in the game or any clothing for rought weather? i never saw a watchman having this

edit: i just tryd the mod again

I have problems going through the hatches...i crouch a bit but its not enought to go through it. i have the problem the first time, so it must be something with the mod.

The animations are also a bit messed up. When i order to dive than they apear on the lader, turn 180 degree around and than make a climbing animation and than they go towards theyr post
