... one can find most SH5 models, including the guns, here:

http://p3dm.ru/index.php?do=files&op...unter&cstart=1

... but ...

all models are somewhat distorted and need fine tuning of the meshes. I recently re-worked one of the models for private purposes and that was no fun ... :doh:

Jeff-Groves 03-02-17 06:14 PM

I don't think I'll need to download them.
:D
Pretty sure I still have exporter I wrote for SH5.
:03:

Besides.
SH5 does not have an Octal.

Now if one would want all the SH5 Guns 3D objects with the AO mapping?
I can pack them up and proved a link.

Hi Jeff, I know textures are not your piece of cake. All I need for creating some decent diffuse, specular, ambient occlusion and normal maps, is some good pictures of the real thing and the 3D meshes that you need to be textured.
Creating them is my fun. Let me know if you need any :salute:

is it really nescessary to create a new quadruple Bofors? There is a model in the original SH3 guns.dat. An improved version could be created using the Bofors models that came with SH5.

Same here: exporting any model from SH5's guns_radars_01.GR2 file, should be pretty easy for me. The latest versions of GR2 Editor/viewer doen't open that file, but I have saved on my HD one of the earliest versions which could open /export from it :03:

Thanks for the offer Mate.
I have 90% of the texture work done. I just lost the one that finished the shield rivets for the MK 5.

There are 3 different versions of the 12 pdr that I have actually.
I'll get some screen grabs in S3D and post them up.

My pleasure Jeff, I Can't wait for your updates :up:

Jeff-Groves 03-03-17 12:38 PM

Here's 2 versions.
http://www.mediafire.com/view/72zm27...k8o/12pdr1.jpg

The 3rd version has the wrap around shield. I just have not done the import work for it but the shield is done.

A 4th version could be done with no shield at all.

Very nice! Are you going to release those guns anytime soon?

Any chance that you have the BL 6-inch Mk VII naval gun + shield, as used in most British coastal batteries, in the making? I need it for an SH5 project I started several months ago (the Ness Battery in Stromness, Orkneys). I have the concrete buildings and the gun half-ready, but you are the gun expert here, so I thought you might be interested into finishing it :D

Jeff-Groves 03-03-17 02:14 PM

Yes I will have them done soon.
I'm sitting within a stone throw of the Worlds largest Naval Base right now and will be here for months!

Norfolk, Virginia. Home to the USS Wisconsin which is about 4 miles from me!!

propbeanie 03-03-17 02:27 PM

If you haven't been, you gotta go, and don't miss the museum. There's also the museum that has a part of the Monitor from the Civil War... can't pull the name... All kinds of stuff in the area... Don't forget, Yorktown (battlefield) is just down the road a bit... :D sorry, back to our real thread...

Jeff-Groves 03-03-17 02:43 PM

Neal had us on the Texas back in 2008 and I've been back to it several times since.
Wisconsin is less then a mile from my jobsite.

Sorry for the hi-jack Kendras.

Welcome back gap,

have a look into the gun library called guns_uk.dat that came with the Fiji and Southampton and search for the items "6InchSingleBR7" and "6InchSingleT14". They represent CP versions of the MKXII, with and without shield. The MKVII was not so different from the MKXII.

EDIT: oh, just noticed that you are looking for something like the guns at Devil's Gap Battery, Gibraltar. These things are clearly different ... and really ugly ...

Kendras, sorry for littering the thread even more ...

@Kendras

How goes with the mod mate? Are you still making adjustments?

Best regards.

I'm happy with my job. Only platforms are missing on both ships, and Bofors guns (on special platforms) on Nelson. Waiting for Jeff to add new stuff ! :salute:
