Yeah, I can't figure out how to attach controllers as children in Goblin at all.

Goblin it seems, does not like to allow some things.
Once the S3D controllers are updated you'll be able to work
with the controllers in question.

And then make the Child-Parent settings you want.

There are some existing controllers that already have this, hence the reference to "Special". I don't think it is attached as a child, it is more like it is merged.

Don't have account at MediaFire.

I am supprised I broke down and created account at FileFront. I really hate both of those places with a passion because of POP-UPS and Ads. Just to much BS to deal with.

You don't need an account.


Just do an upload.
In one week they will delete the file.

How much of the snorkel actually works?

That worked!

Only the Type-VIIC and Type-VIIC/41 can get a snorkel.
The Type-VIIC gets a hinged Snorkel that rotate up out of horizontal to Veriticle.
The Type-VIIC/41 gets a Telescoping Snorkle that extends straight up.

We have not been able to get either type snorkel to work on any boat as yet.

I think that the Snorkels were finally raised in SH4 with some work,
but the CO2 did not get corrected?

Since you have not modified the GR2 files?
They do not need to be included in the download.

Yeah, I know. I forgot to remove them... They are there just to make it easier when making changes so I didnt have to browse all over the place.

All changes for the SNorkel are mid change for things I was attempting. That also made a mess of things but does not break anything.

I was also looking into adjusting the Tower Emblem to support Normalised Image. I made a _N.DDS for one Emblem.

Yeah, some of the U-boat expansion mega mods had working snorkels, but CO2 continued to be produced.

Assuming we manage the same in SH5 perhaps we could use the crew abilities scripts to eliminate the CO2 issue, or at least turn the rate of increase to zero or something...

I think all they did was get the snorkel installed for use as Extending Radar Warning Receiver.
You still have to link the snorkel to all the other effected equipement, Deisel Engine(s) air intake, Interior Air Ventilation, etc. Not sure how to do this but it may be as simple as adding i.e. ", snorkel" to these equipments in the *.upcge files if we are able to get the snorkel to install.
