Merry Christmas to all!
First report about 1.7 with Vickers Interiors:

Trying with the VFBI mod installed and with a Gato class (I don´t try with others subs), I have a serious problem with the scopes:

- The F3 and O keys don´t work, and the buttons in the bar don´t work, also. I don´t have access to the scopes.

- Going to the conning tower interior, both scopes are moving up and down as crazy things. No way to calm the scopes!

I tried with and without the provisional patch. The problem persists.

It seems something in the VFBI mod isn´t compatible with the commands in FOTRSU v1.7.

Hope Vickers can resolve the issue.

Without the VFBI mod, all works flawesly.

Best regards.

checked with a clean 1.7 and the Interiors /w patch --> everything fine!

Ok, Master Vickers. The issue with the crazy peris is due the wake scopes mod, not the interiors.

Now I´m seeing the sensors dat file searching the badass node with S3D.

Interiors with the provisional patch is working well WITHOUT the splash wake scopes mod AND using a pristine savegame folder(s).

Happy Christmas!

Awesome mod. How many years waiting this for SH4? Glorious Christmas gift.

Many thanks for all the work and have a great 2022, Master Vickers.

Best regards.

update 26.12.21
- fixed engine not moving after plotting new course

Could that possibly be related to a key press getting stuck, which I just put off to Windows 10 "keykrapp apps"... ?? I describe it in the FotRSU thread, but I went from the Motor room, through the engine room, and all the way to the torpedo room, holding down the <Up Arrow> key, until I entered the torpedo room, where when I let go of the arrown key, just kept traveling until "out of bounds", but never could get back into the boat, so Saved, exited, re-started, and Loaded the save, and all was well in the SH4 world again. This is a wonderful looking mod vickers03, and has all sorts of potential for the future of SH4. A gradual "populating" of the interior over the next releases, including "Battle Stations" is really cool to think about. Possible more new animation sequences, etc. really bodes well for this.

Might be an excellent time to finish some ripping of Animations from SH5 for use in SH4.

that would be awesome! but are the animations compatible with the SH4 guys?

I have the Tools and the knowledge to make them so!

SH4 uses a Biped and I'm VERY WELL aware of HOW the animations are done in SH4.

SH5 uses a Biped also. Many of the Animations in SH5 are just re-exported SH4 animations but in a Granny format. I've worked with someone else to allow me to GRAB the SH5 animations in a way that I CAN import to SH4!

That would be wonderful. I, for one, would appreciate it. I can't believe the direction SH4 is taking!

[Jeff-Groves]

I've explained before how SH4 Animations work.
[WIP] Animations For SH4 is the thread.

Now. With a different Tool and some changes to the Plug-in?
I can extract the needed info from ALL SH5 animations and build new animation info for SH4!

Now. Given one might have say the Never Winter Nights exporter?
You build a new animation then grab the information from that with other tools.
And NO I don't have that exporter! Just saying......

i've read somewhere that some boats if not all had illuminated or
self-illuminated (radium?) gauges, can someone confirm this?
would certainly look cool at night..

Not sure... but, would definitely make sense with the self-illuminating dials & such... especially if undergoing or having had undergone a depth charge that "popped" the bulbs in the room & no replacements, available to replace them... especially if that DC attack took place at just sunset or shortly thereafter.

Radium paint was used in watchmaking, it began around 1908 and carried on into the 1960s. So... watches made between these dates with glow in the dark functionality may be made with this material.

That's just, info I pulled up for watches with that type of paint.

Considering 1908, am fairly certain, that the dials, gauges & such... likely had that used for them, as well.

There is something on that in one of these pdf files I have... just a matter of finding them... They are online, but I cannot recall their titles... but there are four pdf files in the series, one on the Fleetboat, another on the Balao / Tench (??), one on the S-Boats... and I do not remember the fourth... might take a bit top find.
