[REL] Algerine Class minesweepers

the_frog · 06-03-12, 02:50 PM

Hello!

Tired of big ships, I did the late-war escort minesweepers (or fleet minesweepers) of the Algerine class, of which 110 were built. I tried trading size for level of detail and that's the result:

Based on their characteristics, I classified them as corvettes (unit type 1). So, they happily will attack submarines.

EDIT: I updated the archive file; the Ship_names_MS_Algerine.cfg file has been corrected for typing errors
Here's a direct link to that file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/akgadg...MSAlgerine.cfg

Also, the model is my tribute to JuJuGrotjans artwork done during the intial phases of SH3 modding. I used parts of his textures when doing those of the Algerine.

Good hunting -- the Frog

AMAZINGLY great work!!!Love the detail level.Pulleys,huge cranes,lookouts and tons of cables.Just spent 10 minutes admiring it but now I want it in my campaign.I did what you wrote in the read-me.Does that mean I will see this in campaign...GWX?

Without having a look into the campaign files of GWX, I assume there are generic entries calling for British and Canadian corvettes. That given, there's a fair chance that they show up from '42 on.

Thanks Frog.Kinda puzzled that people are not praising your work when other threads show just a blue print and a plan and get two pages.So here is two more thumbs up

and a thanks for your work.

S! The Frog,

I agree this is a very very nice work. Thank you for your effort.

the_frog · 06-05-12, 03:59 PM

LemonA, what is the idea behind presenting a picture of HMS Hussar (J82), a Halcyon class minesweeper?

Are you hoping that to be built next?

Have you considered applying to the HAHD team? They are in need of a good hand with 3d modelling, and have videos to improve your skills (IAW their thread). I am a cut-and-paste modeller, so I have not applied myself...

Wow, Great work!

By the way, I'm really tired of the big long warships! Finally, a long-awaited minesweeper!

A small point: regarding brightness the Algerine picture does not fit to the rest of the recognition manual. It is too bright.

the_frog · 06-07-12, 06:02 PM

@LemonA:

Brightness of recognition manual image is that of stock SH3; some big mods (such as GWX) have darkened pictures. So, to make it fit, just use your favourite image manipulation software.

The picture you showed is a digitally colourised (and horizontally flipped - whaler on wrong side, pennant number mirrored) b/w, right? It matches nicely texture T03 [= HMS Mutine (J227)].

@the rest:

Thanks for the kind words
