New Update
http://www.filefront.com/16290993/Kraken_Texture_Fix.rar

If you downloaded the previous Kraken_Image this update has those files so don't use it anymore. This texture fixes the guages and torpedo for all versions of this sub.

Remember to install this after you put the patches in if you are using one for a supermod.
Example:
Kraken
Kraken_FOTRS
Kraken_Texture_Fix

A couple of days ago I gave Sledgehammer the basic layout I had made for the K-19 so he'll be taking care of that. So now with that out of the way I get to start work on my next sub project. This sub is essentially a hotel class sub with my own touches being done to her.

Conning tower head on. All the planes should function in game if I can get them to work correctly.

Yes, I do plan to have these fire missiles. I have a few ideas in mind but won't know if they work until it's in game.

Bow and fairwater planes will work together?

Silverwolf 08-14-09 08:30 PM

Yes, it's pretty easy to do, well not really. How it works is the original left bow plane will operate the bow planes, then the original right bow plane will operate the fair water planes. I am going to try and animate the bow planes so they both fold in. If I can do it with the cannons on the shark I can do it with the planes on this sucker.

ETR3(SS) 08-14-09 08:39 PM

Well I'll be damned. Coolness. Look forward to your next release!

Silverwolf 08-14-09 08:46 PM

Yup, and hopefully I can work in another hidden deck gun and even an AA gun when underwater.

Akula4745 08-14-09 09:32 PM

Wow... sweet work!!!

kronus888 08-14-09 11:51 PM

might i say thats one sexy boat even before ur "enhancements". Cant wait to try it out!:D

Cpt. Ramsey 08-15-09 12:02 AM

Now thats the kind of boat Im looking for been playin with the "november" class by Dagon but got tired of the no opening tubes and magical appearing torps. Only thing I would suggest is maybe angle the bow from the bottom up kind of like a XXI or XVIII give it a slightly less blocky look. But in any case it looks good silverwolf, cant wait to see it when your done.

One more thing speaking of planes why does the SH4 engine seem to hate them? No matter what sub I use eventually they end up in some strange position and stop working (i still dive and surface) but they quit moving usually with the arms sticking thru the plate.

wow modelers are coming out of the woodwork!! I thought you guys were few and far between!

Sledgehammer427 08-15-09 01:34 AM

Keep me posted on your progress, I plan to do the Sen Taka for our IJN campaign and it had collapsible AA guns : they went in the deck as they submerged !

nice work btw :)

I haven't had any problems where the planes stop working but I know with my Shark sub if you start submerged the animations get all screwed up and may take a few dives and surfaces to fix the problem.

Also in reguards to the angling of the bow, since it takes after the Hotel Class subs there is no angle. You can see the difference here.

I'll keep you updated, this one will have an easier format for the deck guns since there's only going to be two.

Some updates.

The holes here are for the periscopes, Radar antenna, and a radio antenna that will hide and reveal itself upon surfacing and submerging.
