Absolutely true :D

But still, that unclickable TBT is annoying as hell. When copied exactly from SH3 it still does not work, I have tried it, Ducimus has tried it, and others have too. The only thing I can think of is that I (like I've indicated) made an errors when copying the enumeration. I can't check though because I don't have the game installed for a long time :cool:

Your efforts with the Silent 3ditor prove you're a master par none!

From what I've seen within the game, having things "backwards", "wrong", or just plain "out of sequence" is more the games fault than yours. :yep:

I'm back... and I feel bad about asking so soon, but I'm getting a parse error on a control room built for NYGM... I wanted to move the scope and hatch to make it compatible with my new conning tower, but I can't even open the file with SH3ditor :wah:

I'm not sure how sharp I am to go get into hex editing just to open this file...

BTW, I tried this on both computers, separate downloads and installations (NYGM and 3ditor) just to be sure, the problem seems to be the .dat

How to use Placement control
 

How to use the Placement Control in SH5 to re-position Hinged Snorkle Model depending on current Conning Tower.

Yes, it is very obvious Ubi's Dev's were rushed. To bad Ubi does not support thier releases.:cry:

Using Type-VIIB as example reference because it has 3 CT:
The positioning of the Conning Towers is not consistant. (The location of the Conning Towers Leading Edge vary Fore/Aft and PORT/STBD.)
I want to use the Placement Control atteched to each Conning Tower Model so this control can move the Snorkle Model to correct Position depending on current Conning Tower installed.

This would result in the use of one(1) Snorkle Model that can be used on the Type-VII no matter what conning tower is installed.

Placement Control:
- Parent ID = Snorkle Model Base Node ID (Just 4/100 Node with Label)
- Object to Place Node ID = Snorkle Assy Node ID (Just 4/100 Node with Label Parent ID = Snorkle Base. This Node is Parent Node for actual Model Nodes)
- Both ID's are in the Snorkle Model

If I add the Placement control to the Conning Tower SIM file, Goblin Editor see's this Control as a lost controller because the Parent Node is on different Model.

Trying this next:
So I made DAT files for each Conning Tower and the only Control in these DAT files is the Placement control.
I edited the Conning_7B_0x.lst (x = 0 or 1 or 2) file located in the "data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7b\Submarine Parts" folder adding line that tells Model to load this new DAT.
i.e. Line added "data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7b\Submarine Parts\Conning_7B_0x.dat"
-=[EDIT UPDATE]=-
This did not work. The Snorkle postion did not change when installing different Conning Tower.
I can not move the Conning Tower because then the Deck Watch Hatch would not line up with the Conning Tower Room.
I really hate SH5 but I also really hate to give up.
Such a long list of bugs and that list keeps growing.

My questions are
- Am I implementing this control correctly?
- Can the Placement control be attached to Model A and adjust Model B?
- Is there a better way to implement this control?
- Is there another solution that can be used?

Currently I can load this Snorkle Model and everything functions correctly with the exception of purging Co2 level inside submarine interior.
TheDarkWraith has noted that this may require a SH5.exe edit in order for Snorkle circulate O2 and to purge Co2, as was done to SHIII. I have PM'd H.sie asking about this change.

Please Advise!
Thank You!

When selecting an item in the Property Details on the lower right, is there a way for the highlighted item in the upper left hand, in this case the Focusable3DObj
( above picture ) to be even darker?

For some reason when I am doing this it is difficult to see what the highlighted item on the left hand side, the selected item is not dark enough.

This example is taken from a few posts above.

Try changing your windows colour scheme settings. Try changing 'Selected Items' or equivalent. I'm on Vista which acts weird, so it only works with certain colour pre-set colour schemes, the default colour scheme ignores the changes.

Thanks Nisgeis.

S3D also for SHIII?
 

Hi Skwasjer!

Firstly I want to say: thanks for your great work! Realy fantastic!

Than I have a question:
I am playing SH III with the LSH 5.1-mod. In this mod there are more ships included. Unfortunately I have no idea where all the "damage zones" (mashine room, fuel bunker, amunition bunker, keel, etc...) are.
I just found a note for editing in SHIV on your homepage (http://s3d.skwas.com/images/screenshots/2a2.jpg)


Is there a possibility to use your S3D-Editor also for a damage model editing in SHIII? If "yes" how can I do that...I am now trying out your editor but I can not find any damage zones.

Best regards,
WolfS

Trouble downloading S3D
 

Hi I tried to download the file but there seems to be some trouble with the website. Is the file still available?

The error message was as follows:
Could not load file or assembly 'RadMenu.Net2' or one of its dependencies. There is not enough space on the disk. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070070)



Thanks

I just downloaded it from here http://s3d.skwas.com/ and no problems encountered.

S3D website
 

Yeah the site is working again, thanks for the heads up Moonlight.

Hello and Happy New Year!

During operation (been open simultaneously Autodesk 3ds Max and S3D) has hung the computer. After a forced reset PC: S3D ceased to run.

Now when run, an error occurs:

http://s7.postimg.org/r6ocbie7v/11111111.jpg

http://s7.postimg.org/58rvhpz7f/22222222.jpg

reinstalled "DirectX End-User Runtime", updated ".NET Framework", reinstalled S3D ... - No result.

Anyone can suggest a solution? :06: :hmmm:

Try this:
Go to Control panel>system>advanced system settings
In Advanced tab go to Performance settings, then on Data execution prevention
actvate second option, click add and follow the path to s3d.exe
Add the executable in the list, apply, ok, restart if needed
It works for 64 bit systems and windows 7, 8 or 8.1
i don't know the terms in russian

Hi, Klaus. Thank you for your participation. I tried, but I can't get it done. S3D.exe does not wish to be included in the list:
:/\\!!

How to restore the S3D - Silent 3ditor?

Dep устанавливай только для основных программ, т.е. статус по умолчанию.
Проверь всё антивирусом.
И наконец "откати систему"!!! до точки предшествующей "казусу"... если есть возможность и нет ничего критичного до более ранней точки восстановления.
Также при удалении S3D дополнительно удали всё папки, связанные с программой и удали из реестра все следы S3D по возможности.
I think. :hmmm:

P.S. При казусах откатывать систему желательно сразу... пока есть необходимые точки отката.
