Don't be angry buddy! This was not the correct quote. I just explained. what happens when the object folder is deleted. We won't bother you anymore. You can always count on me for tests. Good luck!

Hey man as I said I'm amazed what you have come up with in one day, i'm glad Anvar got involved too as that fixed the texture issue for me so no rush at all, you never rush art, as said before keep up the good work and i'm going to be promoting this mod.

P.S. you can count on me for testing as well (I have a tiny bit of experience using sh3 editor), do you have discord? I'm on the subsim discord too

Jeff-Groves · 09-06-21, 03:04 PM

Pictures work better then saying this don't fit.
It's been a work in progress that got set aside due to lack of feed back YEARS ago.
I'm sorry I got upset with you all and hope you can forgive me.

You Guys bringing this thread back alive has motivated me more then you realize.

All good bro, I sent you my discord on PM if you want to add me for easier communication, i'm willing to help you with whatever you need. I'm not working these days (nursing the ol' man) so I got the time as well.
I tried using Gyazo taking a screenshot while in game but it just freezes it or doesn't work, I need to find another program to take screenshots while in game but it looked like the reflection that anvar is talking about with those colors and some weird speed and bearing dial decals on the hull itself, he was able to fix the visual on the hull but not the reflection from it. The water streams or some other mod causing conflict I guess with the texture me thinks.

Ahh okay so that's normal the texture by the steps...thanks for the pic Anvar

Man this mod and thread has gone very far in one day, I found it hidden in the archives while looking up WB's VIIA non 3d mod

Jeff-Groves · 09-06-21, 03:16 PM

I don't do Discord.
Reflections are easy to fix. Delete the 3D model and assign reflections to the main model.
Then you have less file size and don't need to worry about texture issues.
Plus saves ID numbers.
Then delete all SHD objects and such.
There are no Dynamic Shadows in SH3 so anything related is a waste.
Since the reflection controller can use the main model? Why have the lesser 3D object in the files?
Back when SH3 was released? Probably was a better way to do things. Today? We run so fast that is actually a bottle neck.

I don't know why this was done. Any suggestions?

well it seems the historical photo has it there so I'd say leave it, unless you want to make it the same texture color as rest of the hull.

Anvar1061 · 09-06-21, 03:23 PM

There is also a white stripe on the ladder. What function did they perform?

Not sure, I'm not really knowledgeable about all the parts of the hull, just the different types of U-boats from what i've read on uboat.net and also some documentaries. You guys would know more then me

Jeff-Groves · 09-06-21, 03:33 PM

What white strip?
That last test I posted does not have any stripe I can see.
If you mean in the image you posted?
That is where black paint has been worn off by using the ladder.
And that is just a Model someone built.

We're talking about the file that Anvar edited and posted here, he put the correct stripe in as it is historical if you look at the photographs he posted of a VIIA colorized.
If it was due to wear as you say then maybe its best as one color, you guys know better then me.

Jeff-Groves · 09-06-21, 03:46 PM

U-32 was the only one photographed with a white stripe on the side of the Turm.
And that stripe was not near the ladder but forward from it.
Probably pre-war.

If one wants wear on the ladder? edit the TGA to show it.
Might require a small UV edit but it could be done.
