[REL] Improved SH5 HMS Nelson class battleship for SH3 - Page 11

Octal platforms are in process.

Found a good over head view.

I'm building the new guns as a new platform dat and supporting files.
There is a lot of 3D work to get it done right but it's going good so far.
The Octals need the base modded for this also.

Only thing that I see may be an issue is those wings in the area.
I'll see if the model work covers them.

I didn't manage to correct this. I think it's controlled by the AO map. Sorry.

A quick render of the platform version Octals.
Still a few parts to build and UV mapping then I can build the dat and other files.

Because of how the Nelson is built in it's dat I'll have to make a few compromises on accuracy.
Only way to fix those issues is to remove parts of the Nelson and place them in a separate dat and call them just like the guns and such.

Yes, but don't forget that Rodney has an AO map applied on her hull. So, if you change the 3D model, the AO won't be correctly applied anymore, as you can see here : http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...8&postcount=84

Cutting out a 3d part should have no effect on UV mapping if done correctly.
Never had a problem with doing that myself.
Now if you change the 3d object in some weird way? Yes. You'll get issues.

OK. I believe in you ! Let's do that !

Jeff-Groves · 03-12-17, 07:56 PM

Already started the work needed.
That whole area needs modified to get the proper eqp in place and look good.

Could you also detach the stairs along the hull, and put them in a library file ? We can see one of them on your pic (bottom right corner) ?

Jeff-Groves · 03-13-17, 01:48 PM

I can do that.
Here's an early shot as I Surgically remove parts.
No UV's were harmed in this procedure!

The parts removed will be put in a special dat so they can be called through the eqp file.
I shall name those files............
Diverse_piese_de_nava

For those to lazy to translate?
It's Romanian for "Various pieces of the ship"

My other choice was to name the files elanaiba.

Ops, no sorry. I wanted to speak about these ones :

But I think you have already understood !

Jeff-Groves · 03-15-17, 06:11 PM

Yes. I'm good on those stairs.
Also spotted something else in the area of the Octals to fix.
