[REL] Uboat Visual Damage mod

wamphyri · 04-13-10, 08:03 PM

As requested by Oscar19681

With Thanks to privateer for pointing me in the right direction

This adds sh4 like visual damage to the sub when you take hits from shells etc.

Link
(install with jsgme)
edit - I changed a file that I'm sure no other mod uses.. it should be compatible with all mods I know of

I tried to add damage how sh3 showed it also but sh5 can't use that controller with a granny file. In sh3 the flak/deck guns got damaged.. they had a separate model for the damaged state and sh5 doesn't have that.. I tried to add that also. The big thing is that even tho I didn't touch the conning tower files if a shell hits the conning tower it'll show a hole on the outside .. but be fine when your in the tower. Kinda strange and funneh looking. C'est la vie

I didn't realize it when I took that pic but 2 seconds later it was game over screen.. and I was trying to get a pic with the damage and a destroyer above me.. maybe next time.

Looks great

ddrgn · 04-13-10, 08:22 PM

Excellent, now I am off to get depth charged.

Thanks wamphyri!

Well,
I got the Name wrong and how long it would take for a release.

But nice to see someone actually did something.

Regards Mate!

Thank you so much for this. And thank you from the community. GIVE THIS GUY AN IRON CROSS!

capt-jones · 04-15-10, 10:16 AM

just to confirm this mod works ok for me,sub took depth charge damage to the front of the conning tower in scapa flow
from the outside it looked like a hole,but on closer inspection from the inside it looks like buckled metal,sorry did not hang around for a pic(printscreen)as i just sunk seven ships and i need the tonnage

04-15-10, 10:51 AM

Is there a way of making the holes go away and replacing with damaged decal?

Any sub with a hole that large in the pressure hull would be dead in seconds, it just looks silly, thought so in the other SH titles too

Try playing with the controllers.
The controllers from SH4 may still work.
And alot of neat things happen when you just play around.
One course of action may not be the best course of action.

I'd be surprised if the damage decals exactly matched the amount and position of where the shot struck. I don't know about the actual files etc. but it seems unlikely that the 3D models would be that flexible from my experience.

Are you sure there aren't just a set number of decals in appropriate positions for every model and it simply picks the nearest one to display? Would be a much simpler way of doing it and solve a lot of graphics problems from a dev's perspective.

Course I could be wrong and some poor programmer spent weeks getting this to work when they could have... I dunno fixed something important

chrysanthos · 01-30-11, 05:37 AM

well my friends i have the same problem with my uss montana battleship...even if she gets many hits from shells there is no visible damage at all..not even a hole or black splashes on hull...i am running sh4 version 1.4 by the way...is there a texture pack or something i can fix this?

Hello! The link isn't working. Wamphyri, can you upload the file again? Because I can't find this mod

.

Thanks, silentmiochal
