Darkfish - had that problem a lot. Make the playable gun the last one loaded in the .upc file. If that doesn't fix it, make sure you only have one turret with a .cam file - I take it you're adding four ugrade pack guns so they show up in damage screen ? If so, then deleting the other three cam files DOES fix this. If you're not creating four seperate upgrade pack guns, then I'd like to see what it's doing .....so send it over to me and I'll take a look ;-)

Darkfish - re: the above .... I thought I knew what was going on with human controlled weapons .... but, you'll never guess what just happened during a test with Hood (me) v Bismark (AI) .... atarted off controlling turret B ... then 15 minutes into the exchange (I know I know ... Bismark couldn't find my magazine) ..... my control of the deck gun switched to turret X .... no idea why ... turret B was still fine and firing under AI control. Only thing I did was change aspect ration to the target (turned towards Bosmark to close the range). Not had this before. Wish I could work out how to make it happen ... so we could control mroe than one deck gun.

I am very sick, so no SCHOOL!!!! sucks cuz I have 1 week left, but, any finished work, that could be sent to me would be much enjoyed!!! I have nothing else to do!!

Ivan - could upload the ships pack as it stands. Have added much (RN radar, re-balanced armour values, am in process of adding accurate shell data for guns, have added NPC versions of the German cap ships and the RN ones, and modified the armour values to balance with the player versions). Also played with the main sound file for the big guns firing ... sounds a bit funkier now :-)

Still having a frustrating time with ship handling - most ships I get to ride waves (up down movement) properly end up bobbling too much from side to side. The game engine is rubbish in this respect.

Also done much work to test long range gunnery - AI controlled guns on AI ships seem much much more accurate than AI controlled guns on human controlled units. Am currently playing with special abilities and various ranks / qualifications to correct.

Had to do alot of work on the NPC Bismark - damage was not showing well. Need to do same to Tirpitz.

I have no player ships to work on at present. Has anyone got any DD's to send me for damage modelling ?

Also - for the smaller German cruiser & DD classes - if you want them - need to get persmission and models. Only ones I've seen anywhere are in GWX for SHIII.

While I wait for more ships to do I'm going to be;

1) Adding realistic radar loadouts to the German ships.

2) Further testing radar sensitivity & range (game engine also rubbish in this area).

3) Have to configure armour values on some more stock cap ships.

ivank · 05-09-09, 05:03 PM

if you can email me your stuff, that would be great!

What did you edit for the gun sound? cause I was going to edit it with a clip
of the Bismarcks guns.

What does "NPC" stand for?

I have permission and models for the ships, I sent everything to Shammer427, I think, to be converted.

polyfiller · 05-09-09, 05:53 PM

Sorry NPC - old fashioned term for computer controlled (forget where I first picked it up - may have been Freelancer).

Send me the ships you sent shammer which need to be player controlled, and let's divide them between us to convert.

Can't email you - remember - previous problems. Will upload somewhere tomorrow and will PM with link.

Regio Sommergibile · 05-09-09, 05:58 PM

May i ask some infos about the gameplay ?

I'm really interested in this mod, but i wanted to know for instance if we will play campaigns as groups or only as single ships. That should be good as an Axis cruiser but doesn't sounds nice as well for Allies... Also it would be illogic for a capital to go around alone without ASW|AA protection!

polyfiller · 05-09-09, 06:21 PM

Not sure if Ivan has found a way to enable movement in commandable groups. I know you can't define a group with a human controlled unit in a single mission.

Am currently investigating use of the special ability CommandGermanAuxiliaryCruiser but if this comes to nothing, I'm affariad the only way to emulate fleet actions is to have the human player "tag along" with an AI fleet following a pre-determined route.

Regio Sommergibile · 05-09-09, 07:18 PM

Thanks, btw my interest was aimed at evading "solo" missions...

As long as your not alone it can only be good to me

iambecomelife · 05-10-09, 03:15 AM

Hey guys - someone had asked me a couple months ago for merchant ships that could be used for this mod? Here's the beta for the Merchant Fleet Mod; it includes several replenishment ships like oilers & ammo freighters that might be useful for resupply points. Be advised, these are still in the SH3 format.

Thanks

Thank you very much!

SilentAngel · 05-18-09, 01:37 PM

Any progress updates, hitting the set dates and stuff?

Might show some screenies?
