[REL] gap - PVC Floor

  • Description: PVC Floor v 1.1 for Silent Hunter 5

  • Author: gap

  • About this mod: a tiny mod for eye candy that has been waiting on my HD for a long time before being packed for release. It replaces metal U-boat floors, featured in stock game, with PVC floors as seen in current day’s U-995 museum ship at Laboe:

    http://www.deutscher-marinebund.de/0...schine_max.swf
    http://www.deutscher-marinebund.de/0...ntrale_max.swf

    I doubt that this is the original floor used during boat’s service with Kriegsmarine, but MiTon ensured me that PVC flooring was especially developed for naval use prior to WWII.

    The mod is available in three versions: “main mod” (gray floor with warm tone light reflections), “blue version” (bluish floor) and “green version” (greenish floor). See below for further details on the installation of each version.

  • Changelog:

    • v 1.1
    - replaced stock footstep sounds with softer, lower-pitched ones;
    - added a new alternative floor color: “green version”.

    • v 0.1, pre-release:
    - changed floor_metal texture;
    - changed floor normal map accordingly;
    - included “blue version” as alternative floor color.

  • Compatibility:
    - compatible with any version of Silent Unter 5 and any major sub interior mod;
    - it should be also compatible with previous games of the Silent Hunter series.

  • Known bugs:
    during beta testing, sporadic fps hit have been recorded, though it was not possible to ascertain wether they were directly related with the usage of this mod.

  • Installation:
    - install JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler if you have not done it yet, and configure it to the SH5 installation path (detailed instructions on how to configure it found here);
    - look into your main <Silent Hunter 5> installation folder for a subfolder called <MODS> and create if it is not there;
    - unzip the main mod, called <gap - PVC Floor v 0.1 for SH5 – main mod>, and and drop it as it is into the <MODS> folder;
    - enable it after any sub interior mod, using JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler;
    - • optional: unzip “blue version” or “green version” in <MODS> folder and enable it after the main mod.

  • Acknowledgements:
    - MiTon for directing me to the panoramic views of U-995’s interior that I got inspired from, for providing me with historical information, and for beta testing;
    - Stoianm and everyone else who commented on this mod on subsim forum, for their suggestions and for beta testing.
    - A special thank to GT182 for being the unwitting inspirer of the new footstep sounds.

Cool beans Gap! :up: Now we have really silent footsteps. :yeah: I'll have it installed asap. Will it be ok to install while at sea?

Question on the interior color. In the panorama views, is that the real inrterior color of the times back in WWII, or painted that way so it's easier to see the interior in today's time? I've seen U-boat interiors but can't remember the color they used back then.

Imo dark U-boat interiors are just a faulty meme that spread over with the help of movies like Das boot.
Think of it: why would they have painted the interior of their boats with dark paintgs? Wasn't it claustrophobic enough, yet? Adopting dark colours would have only worsened the situation, with both psychological and practical bad effects on crews efficiency. :hmm2:

But then again, this is just my speculation, since I have never visited an U-boat.

Interesting mod. Will download.
Some pictures from ingame would be good.

GT182 09-25-12 10:00 PM

Gap, remember, we do have Sober's No Footstep Sound mod. It works already and should also work with your PVC Floor v 0.1 for Silent Hunter 5. Try it first with Sober's before you jump in changing anything. ;) Looks like I won't get to try your PVC mod until late tomorrow. I have to work all day tomorrow..... unless it rains.

I'll release soon a Carpet U-boat Floor Mod for maximum compatibility with sober's No Footstep Mod :D

In the meanwhile I have something else in mind. I've found some audio samples that may suit, with some editing, our brand new PVC floor. :up:

I you look at when the files featured in this mod were modified the last time, you will notice that I had forgot them in a dusty corner of my external HD for more that one year. I am sure that you will take a better care of them than I did! :O:

Don't tell anyone, but I am 99% sure he is an under cover British Intelligence agent. Do you remember his interest in enigma code? :hmmm:

More, I've discovered that his speech recognition engine is installing microphones everywhere on our U-boat. I've found one of them in the stew, and yet another one under von Dobenecker's blindfold. :shifty:

:har::har:

Gap,
Great Mod. I've been waiting for a differant floor for the boats, this looks like the trick.
If we dogo to carpet, I would like an indoor/outdoor green to resist water damage and...oh never mind.
Loading up the mod, I'll tell you if my computer goes into FPS shock.

Nice mod and good work.:up:

But one thought about, the floor in U-995 museum ship at Laboe wouldn´t be the original in this times. :hmmm:

Pick the colour you prefer from our assorted pattern book of first-rate moquettes... :cool:

May I suggest a cream color? It will make a good contrast with Naight's dark interior.
Or rather you are into persian carpets? :o

You can consider this mod from realistic to semi-ficticious... blame it on MiTon :D

GT182 09-27-12 11:09 AM

This mod will install while you're at sea on patrol. No problems seen so far. :D

I save all my mods in a special place...... on a DVD. I learnt my lesson the hard way.
