I tried to get German U-Boat compilation to work with NYGM with no success, so that is not a problem.

MEP 5 or 6 is environnement mod.
My mod will contain its own environment, hence MEP will not be compatible either.

I tried to keep as much as possible Stiebler nice settings, and German U-Boat Compilation is changing many of them. That’s why i don’t want it, even if heavy editing could solve it
Anyway, U-Boats will be as nice as in Ccom/LSH3.

Fifi,

Have you looked at possibly using the SH3 Commander files of GUC to use. I think that is just basically a skin package.

Good hunting,

I know the SH3 Commander Skin Pack GUC is only compatible with GUC!

Looking at the files, there does not appear to be any sensor files and the like and just a config file. It appears to be basically just the skins, unless am missing something.

I just thought it might be easier to incorporate those for GUC without effecting sensors and the like.

Good hunting,

If so, never mind and forget my suggestion.

Think it will be ready for tomorrow

To make pennants compatible with NYGM, had to lower the attack periscope full raise to 5m (as others megamods) instead of original NYGM settings of 6.5m...
As i don’t know the real full raise height of an attack periscope, i suspect that Stiebler choice was because of his negative buoyancy.
This way even loosing 1 or 2 meters because of all stopped, we could still see something through the periscope...
Now that i had to lower it to 5m, it could be harder to keep the U-Boat steady when big waves...and still see something.
But i think it could be even more historical accurate to have sight difficulties when rough sea...
Anyway, it will be like that

Note: the observation periscope will still have original full height (6.5) and of what i recall, observation periscope was a bit higher than other. So for best view when rough sea, observation periscope will be welcomed!

Could someone tell me why in NYGM you can only clic on those 2 boxes?
We can't clic on all the others to make repairs if needed!
(not coming from any external mods cause i tried with stock NYGM)



So the 2 only boxes we can access are bow & stern quarters...

Fifi, to answer some of your NYGM questions:

1. Be careful changing Stiebler's scope, etc. settings. NYGM's env. is carefully modded so that the scopes and snorkel work correctly. I.e., especially wave height.
I can't remember the exact details but a google should help.
2. Regarding repairs, many time NYGM doesn't use a dedicated repair crew. Instead, one loads the affected compartment with crew instead and they do the repairs.

Hope this helps.

Ha ok...so we put repair crew into damaged compartments and they do the job...
Didn’t know that, thanks

Didn’t changed any Stiebler setting for sub cfg.
I only made the attack scope full raising 5m instead of 6.5m, so the pennants could fit. All others sensors are stock.
Tested this change, and result is still ok even in rough sea

On side note, it seems in reality full length of periscope was 5m...just saying.

NYGM has several interfaces of changing file menu_1024_768.ini
1.NYGM Tonnage War V2.5 – Stand Alone Version
2NYGM3_New
3.NYGM3_6D
Stiebler4C_Addon_for_V16B1
Hitman_GUI_NYGM3_1.1
Hitman Optics NYGM 3.6 (Fixed)
Hitman_GUI_NYGM3_1.2
In this case, look for a block in Menu_1024_768.ini containing
DATA/Menu/Data/damage/Repar7.tga
DATA/Menu/Data/damage/Repar7_1.tga
DATA/Menu/Data/damage/Repar7_2.tga

Tested with ONLY NYGM mods (included NYGM wide gui) and result is the same.
Only 2 boxes clickable.
Must be Stiebler choice
As JP said, putting dedicated crew in damaged compartments do the job.

NYGM remains best hard U-Boat experience so far (played 100% realism of course)
