Ahhh, I think that´s too much for me then , i´ll wait till you have some time.

There is the possibility to use Shift key in conjunction with the mouse buttons and the mouse actions help screen defines it. This help screen is dynamic based on what you are doing/what you have selected.

BTW, in my screen resolution, 1440x900 the small World Axis window covers some of the mouse actions help screen.

if Bit 1 set then it has position data
if Bit 2 set then it has rotation data
if Bit 3 set then it has scale/shear data

Every bit is a power of 2. So bit 1 is 2 to the 0th power or values of 0 or 1. Bit 2 is 2 to the 1st power or values of 0 or 2. Bit 3 is 2 to the 2nd power or values of 0 or 4. Add the values from the bits together to get integer value.

So to add position data you need bit 1 set. This results in integer value of 1.

Maybe I need to add another tool to the Tools menu: A bit to integer value converter

- replace materials

- replace textures
- add new textures
- add new bones (can do this already)
- edit existing items (change position, rotation, scale, properties)
- export meshes (you can do this already)
- import meshes (you can do this already)

Basically it will open up the GR2 file so that you can do anything you want with it. Right now the GR2 file is the biggest hinderance to modding SH5.

So in laymans terms it will be possible to create new sub interiors in fact new anything you like?

All you need is the stock, original uboat_sensors.GR2 file. You need to add the node (bone) I hex edited into something else for the snorkel

Yes. You'll be able to add anything to the GR2 file.

You can always activate the snorkel via TDW UI options file, even for 1939. I´m not using it at the moment, but anyway you can also see the SNORCHEL and DUMMY_SNORCHEL bones at the same time to try to move on top of them, at least that was what i was trying to do.

[BIGREG]

Yes,i get loading the new UI (i don't have installed)

- move mouse left/right: you change yaw of object (rotation about y axis)

If you click and hold middle mouse button and:
- move mouse forward/backward: you change Y position
- move mouse left/right: you change X position

If you click and hold right mouse button and:
- move mouse forward/backward: you change Z position
- move mouse left/right: you change roll of object (rotation about Z axis)

TDW this last movement doesn´t work for me: click and hold right mouse button and move mouse left/right: you change roll of object (rotation about Z axis). Can you BIGREG check if it works for you?

[BIGREG]

Yes,i have the same problem when you select just the Z axis,but if you select minimum 2 axis that work
For me the problem is the middle button mouse don't work,
Maybe ? I need it assigns another function (Logitech G500)
i can just move the bone forward and backward (no left/right and no up/down)

[pedrobas]

TDW, I´m trying to create a new bone for the UBoot_Sensors.GR2 but in the parent window only apear what you can see in the photo. I´ve tried with other GR2 files and all parents appear but not in this one.
