a playable type II,Possible?

[lesec74]

hello,

With the progress of modders (thanksfor your job for the community), is it possible to expect one day a type II playable?
thanks for answers.

One day, probably yes. Unfortunately that day most likely won't be any time this year, or next.

Just curious Steve... but why do you say that? Not that I think you're wrong... I just don't know what the issues are.

Is it technical? Something that has yet to be decoded? Are we waiting for a tool or something from the devs to make it possible? Is it time and effort?

Thanks

JD

The biggest hindrence is the GR2 file work needed.
There are 2 people able to work them as needed.

1 has to finish his Tool,
the other is involved in Beta Testing for a different Game due out in December.


May the Force be with you!

Privateer talked about the technical side. The problem I see is that making the complete interior, rigging it up with the complete walk-through and adding all the animations is such a job that the original devs only had time to make the Type VIIs. Also, if and when it does come to pass the biggest demand will almost certainly be for the Type IX first.

Don't get me wrong. The lack of the Type II is the main thing keeping me playing SH3 and SH4, and if this should happen sooner I will be extremely happy. Or maybe I'm just a pessimist at heart.

Tomi has a great Type II interior already.
That can be adapted quite easily once a good GR2 Tool is ready.
The animations are a different story.
Although many could be re-used as a stand in type deal at first.
I'd guess sometime next year will see the first Modder added playable Unit.
Since the Type II is mostly in the Game now?
I'd say it has the better chance of being the first.
Unless Ref's Type IX get's a leg up.

It'd be particularly nice to get the old dugout canoe back, I kind of miss them!

If we are able to export models from a GR2, what is preventing importing a model back into a GR2.

For instance, Import the Type-IX body, Hull, Deck, Detali into a existing Type-VII GR2 Model.
Use all the same interiors and waypoints.
Would have to adjust Torpedo Door Locations fore/aft.
Edit Bunker Torpedo Load out Menu screen to support 2 aft Tubes and all the extra Torpedo Storage to support Type-IX.
Edit Sub Torpedo Load out Menu screen for Type-IX Extra Storage Support.
Would maybe have to adjust Conning Tower Room Exterior Hatch to match Type-IX exterior Hatch.

For the Type-II:
Maybe we can just use the existing Conning Tower and Control Room and not load any of the other Rooms.
Not sure if they will fit inside the Type-II though.

The original topic of this thread was whether we might one day expect a playable Type II boat. As one who would be thrilled to see a new type of boat a type II would be fine but more practical, I think, would be a Type IX.

I say this not because I have a personal preference but rather because the Type IX is used (in TRW) in all campaigns and is mandatory for historical accuracy in Trevally's and GAP's new Operation Monsun in OH II, a MOD many, if not most, would find it hard to live without. I, for one, am going through withdrawals as my current computer just doesn't doesn't have the horespower to cope with OHII even OHII light and I will have to wait for my new box so I can return to one of the best MODs available to us.

Just to let you know, i recently had the same problem of not being able to run OHII. Dont know if youve tried this but taking away TDW UI mod and replacing it with whatever else will let my computer run OHII. throwing it out there.

@misha1967
If do not talk to the laws of a purely human standpoint: for submitting any claims ubi should move ass. For the past two years have passed since ubi generally does not comment on the further development of sh5, does not provide any answers, no hints, and even circumstantial evidence that sh5 ever be fixed or will be released sh6. Here players are fit to wheel in a lawsuit against the ubi: the product is not finished, is full of errors, the money received from the players, but there is no action to remedy the defective product. That is, the rights of buyers actually violated and ubi got away with it. Members, instead of suits rolled up their sleeves and fix their own egregious shortcomings games. And if it's for and receive a claim from the ubi - it would be something. Law and Justice, it turns out different things? (when I took the exam for a driver's license, we have hinted, that you can take the exam in two ways: "the law" and "justly")

Thanks for the tip, Dance Commander, I'll give it as whirl though I'm not sure there's life after TDW's great UI MOD. I may have been using it for too long now to change.
