Hi LGN1,

I understand your concern over the typ IX and Philipp also ask me about the typ IX but like i already say if i do this one to, it would be late in the years because when i start on a sub it is first examining every pictures i can put my hand on looking at each detail and variants from available pictures then the work start.

Since i am an history freak i put all the detail that i can introduced in the boat i even research the correct color chart and use a weathering technique that can adjust correctly to the game engine shader.

Be sure if i make it it would be done with the same attention i put on the typ IIA.

Best regards Hans

Hi Reaper7,

Best regards Hans,

Hi Reaper,

Nice to see that you follow my project with enthusiasm, and no my internet provider finally is now stable since i call them saying i was going for another company

For the video i could have upload it last week but since I'm totally nut i said to myself why not pushing the limit even further, i mean i load my mod and i look at the boat in the stock Wilhelmshaven harbor and god my boat deserve a decent harbor to navigate in.

So i went from modeling all the original crane in the Bau hafen to replace the ugly non realistic yellow one. After that i made extensive research for factory and buildings in the bau hafen area and now i am modeling the langer Heinrich shwimkran

As you can see when i fnish one part i look at the rest and i keep adding new props here and there. The game engine is really capable of handling all those new models so far my ram footprint is still very low comparing with GWX and other mod but i have not the amount of models that others mega mod have because i focus more on detail close to the area we see and the immersion is really great so far.

The shape of the Wilhelmshaven harbor is not correct in stock and i also want to modify it but so far i am not sure how to proceed with it? Is it the mission editor that people use to modify harbor and terrain?

And considering now the size of my mod i am seriously thinking on recruiting some fellow modders to accelerate the release if nobody want to join my project then i will release it later than i expect instead of Halloween it will be more Christmas if i am all alone with what left to do.

If harbor props texturing go well tomorrow i will be able to upload the video in the weekend.

Best regards Hans,

Ya its hard to stop once ya get started - always something that can be made better.
Still its all the better for us , wow can't wait to see the new harbour.

What you require modder wise, haven't modded for sh3 - only sh5. But there's not much difference really, just sh5 has a menu editor to make things easier.
If there's anything I can help with let me know . Here's my current mod for sh5 I'm working on http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=173147 wich brings back the functionality of sh3/4 back to sh5.

Hi reaper7,

Believe me i never expected to get hook like that modding the game but it does grown on you as you start seeing the result.

Thank for you offer to help what i would need to finalize the mod is adding more ships variety like merchant pack and planes pack plus adding more traffic to enemy harbor.

Great work you did on that SH5 menu too bad i really don't like SH5 version and will probably never use it again it is on the shelf to collect the dust of eternity.

I would also need advice from menu expert to know if it is possible to make different periscope,uzo and TDC menu for each submarine like the typIIA have is own TDC layout and when you go for the VIIC the menu load the TDC layout for this boat something like two menu for each sub?

And i also need to know a clear and non confused explanation on how do we modify terrain and adding harbor to the game, all the post i saw on the forum are unclear and vague nobody is mentioning a straight to the point how to?

When the mod is finish i promised i would do clear and straight to the point video tutorials for the main modding aspect of SH3.

Best regards Hans,
