Ok.. I admit, what I know of that could be.. faulty, to be frank about it, & what I am thinking of could be after the fact info, as well. it has been some time since I was last on board of a WWII U.S. sub.

Which would have been the U.S.S. Drum, back down in Mobile, Al., @ Battleship Park, there.

I honestly haven't tried it with TMO. I wouldn't even expect it to work at all, and mostly likely cause problems.


It was just a gentle poke to hopefully remind you that a TMO version is still hoped for. Didn't mean to cause any confusion.

Thanks. I was thinking it was a homage to a story I believe was mentioned in "The War Below" about two mice living in the Silversides, crew named them, they were kind of like pets ( I believe, will have to check back) , they gave them names. One disappeared, they believe it went into a torpedo tube when was opened.

Ahoy Vickers~
I've just noticed that this mod replaces many gauge textures in the "Data\Textures\TNormal\tex" folder. However, the quality of these new gauge textures are not so good comparing with the original files of FotRSU, for expample, the radar bearing gauge of gato below. I'm wondering is that any purpose for replaceing these gauges? Can we resotre the original FotRSU textures?

Hi flaminus!
The file, which was changed in "Fleetboat_Interior-Officers_Quarters_FOTRSU_v1.46_EN", is "Gato_Gauges_02.dds" in the "Data\Textures\TNormal\tex" folder.
I tried replacing the Vickers modified file with the original FORTSU file and the problem is solved. Obviously better graphics IMHO and no problem with Vickers' MOD.
If you are able to create your own little MOD, you can use JSGME to activate it at any time without doing any damage because it is just a graphic file and you can always go back with JSGME. It is not advisable to swap the two files directly to avoid problems.
The small mod can be for example: "Old Gato Red Gauges" or whatever you want and then create the folders: "Data\Textures\TNormal\tex" all empty. The Gato_Gauges_02.dds file is what you find in FORTSU 1.46 in the same folders that you copy and paste it into the last "tex" folder of your new MOD. Once this is done you can put this little mod in the MODS folder where you put the MODs to be activated with JSGME, so your mod could be:
Old Gato Red Gauges with the "Data\Textures\TNormal\tex\Gato_Gauges_02.dds" folders and file then activate it with JSGME.
However, you must ask Vickers for correctness the authorization to make this small MOD, even if it is for strictly personal use because it is always a modification to one of his works.
If you think you are not sure about making this MOD, I can make it myself but then I ask Vickers for permission.

i think FOTRSU team re-did some of the gauges thats why they are so
good quality. my gauges are based on OakGrooves original work with more
contrast added.
of course there is no need to ask for permission for mods like this, all good

Hi vickers!
in the file "Gato_Gauges_02.dds" I think that only the gauge shown by flaminus is better and is placed next to the hydrophone. What exactly that gauge can do I haven't figured out yet but I don't think it's fundamental. I saw that you increased the contrast in various gauges and complemented them aesthetically. Good job! Exceptional are the quarters you added!
The "plane angle indicators" and the "rudder angle indicator" have a red background. Were some gauges red?
Last question: was the radar screen red or green?

@ Torpedo: That gauge is for bearing of radar contact. Yes, it's not fundamental, because we don't need very accurate radar bearing and we can also get it from PPI screen.

@vickers03: Thanks. I will make a personal mod on that. And may i ask in the next version of interior mod, is there any new compartment?
