That sounds good ! But how we will control her huge guns?:hmm:
And her torpedo launchers?
And then, keep her 1000-men crew controlled will be a pain !
Keep up the good work

[Xantrokoles]

I hate this stupid textures...
They were the reason for a problem while importing...
OK will need some days
But I think it is possible


U have to imagine: every crewman represents some crewman...
And the guns will be AI controlled

[Raptor1]

What's good about the Pocket Battleship is that it doesn't need a new campaign, as they're missions we're practically the same as the U-Boats

Also, Admiral Scheer actually made a raid in the Indian Ocean in 1941, so it's also historical

[Xantrokoles]

Right

3d model is playable in the game, but I hate the textures...
usually I could use the standart Textures, but I din't found a way to use the Lightmaptextures(..._0O1.dds)

Xantrokoles, if you make this propperly work, you will be my personal hero. Having a surface unit "within" historical background would be fantastic business. And I agree, a Pocket Battleship like the Deutschland (Lützow) would fit perfectly to what campaign opportunities we already have in this game. for this!

Good idea! But how the stern torpedo launchers will work? Mikhail and his team have modified the U-boot torp launchers to fit his S-100...maybe you can ask him a little help...then to make the torp launcher complex act realistically you can make it act like a gun, that have its own crew and could be pointed in the direction of the intended target. Without changing his elevation ofcourse !

The campaign layer should be modified, so we maight start the campaign early in the war, when Britain was Germany's only enemy, obviously changing the start location to Kiel or Wilhelmshaven

[Xantrokoles]

Right

The thing with a torpedo gun doesn't work I guess...so the torpedoes have to start in the hull.
But is it possible to turn the anim ...E_Door_FLU for 180°?
Cause I need 8 AFT Tubes

@ Mikhayl

Please tell me when u get the textures and especially the lightmaptexture working
thx

Look through the campaign layers for the Indian ocean only for the year 43...
Then u see what u have to do:rotfl:
But AOD is hard working on this thing

[Xantrokoles]

Look here:
left upper corner:Our AI_PocketBB
left lower corner:Our playable BB(very ugly until now)
right upper corner: Texture
right lower corner: Lightmaptexture(other body)


And I only can use one texture, classic style Sh3, but the textures are made for use with lightmaptexture

I made a better skin.


Credits go to kriller2 for textures from his warship mod.

[Xantrokoles]

Thats a cool Skin...when I would get this O01.dds working I would be very proud when I could use this!

[MMarques]

Yea that skin is very nice, would be great if it could solve the problems.

please don't be for 1.5!!!
