Wonderful again! :up:

[nikbear]

Wonderful piece of work:up:

[Jimbuna]

Very nice :up:

[iambecomelife]

Great. I would like to skin them for Britain and maybe some other countries, since they look like very common types of freighter.

[bigboywooly]

Well I would be inclined to use those 2 units to replace the KLS and KGN in the German roster
:hmm:

[iambecomelife]

Well I would be inclined to use those 2 units to replace the KLS and KGN in the German roster
:hmm:

That's a good idea, especially for the NKLS. I doubt the Germans had access to very many C-2's between 1939 and 1945...

[bigboywooly]

Actually looking at the tonnage probably the NKLS and maybe the NKSS

Bugs me how the axis esp Germany have C and T class merchants\tankers
Lazy devs
:rotfl:

[AOTD_MadMax]

Iam working on other Units for the Axis especially german.

The third Vessel is just still in Progress and could be released tomorow, maybe tonight.
If the GWX-Team wanne use them for 1.04 you got the permission for it.

Here some Pics of the next Vessel, finished in a few hours !

Its an combined Freighter, often used by Nordeutscher Loyd, Hapag, and DDG-Hansa.
He got 3600 Tonns !

I like that one too - it's like a more modern "Akita Maru". :up: One suggestion - I think it would be a good idea to add some cranes in between the two deckhouses. Almost every ship with a split superstructure had them.

Hehe yes iambecome, you are right, its a clone of the "Akita Maru" but i enlarged the deckhouse so there is no much place for a crane between the deckhouses but iam workin on it !

Thanx for your impressions.

:o Wow-wee thats not a bad looking ship.

Thankyou

I'm sure users who like them can add them on their own via JSGME if they like ;) :up:

lol no you didnt :up:

[AOTD_MadMax]

Hello Kaleun´s,

iam back after a short night.

The third Vessel is overworked cause iambecomelife give me some tips about splitmerchants.

4 more cranes where added in the midship and i overworked the backside of the back deckhouse.
Now the crew can walk down a stairway to reach the end of the ship !
Also i fixed the reflections of the Mast´s.
Perhaps i release it today.

Here the new Version :

[Klaus_Doldinger]

[Jimbuna]

The detail is really quite remarkable :up:

[Rimfaxi]

The Reflection looks funny! :D
Like a half ghost ship.

But nice work indeed!

[denis_469]

Excellent work:up:

[mr chris]

Looks beatiful if you ask me.:up:

A sugestion: commerce raiders with these beautiful ships. :arrgh!:

Not trying to nit pick but the front half of the ship is missing water reflections. Just an observation.

[tater]

Nice.

I tested your textures on the stock SH4 ships (within SH4), and they work. Would you mind if I used them (minus the black cross) in my SH4 campaign? I'll give credit, of course. The only change I need to make would be to create a 512x512 "long range" version for SH4--plus removing the black cross---though I would perhaps keep a version with that and add it to the german roster in the event I someday add german traffic to the pacific (there might have been a few putting in to japanese ports early on).

tater

[AOTD_MadMax]

Hi Tater,

nice to hear that.

Of course you can use them for your Projekt and you dont have to remove the black cross. You can do if you want but you got the permission to use the whole material !

@ Racerboy

I know this problem with the reflections and iam workin on it !

Thats the Problem :

In near distance the ship got reflections !

In middle distance you can see this :

http://85.25.133.181/Files/mods/MaddisSchiffe2/Reflectionmiddle.jpg

And in fare distance there is no reflection !

http://85.25.133.181/Files/mods/MaddisSchiffe2/Reflectionfare.jpg


I dont know where the problem is :damn:
If there is some Hexediting i cant repair it cause iam a noob in Hexediting.

Greets

AOTD|MadMax

Yes, it's a hex edit problem. The MaxVisDim and MinVisDim of the WaterReflections controller are incorrectly set. They need to have the same values as the stern of the ship does. You can repair it, it's not that hard to do.

[tater]

Thanks, AOTD|MadMax.

The reason to remove the cross is because they will be painted on japanese ships :)

The stock SH4 has several textures for merchant shipping, but they all seem to be extremely slight variants on "gray." I'd prefer to see some civilian livery. Black hulls at the very least.

SH4 seems to use the "O" layers to make more complex patterns on the hull, but I've had very poor luck trying my hand at skinning so far.

<S>

[AOTD_MadMax]

Hello Kaleun´s,

after 10 hours fighting with Wings3D and skinning a new ship can released after Crashtest´s !

The design is finished ............. puh


This ship is based on the Empire Celt Tanker and i have reworked this ship for the Germans but you can also use it for every Nation.

Here is my reworked Empire Celt Tanker.

Nice job Max! Thousands details. I like that.:up:

[AOTD_MadMax]

Hello Kaleuns,

my next ship is ready for download.
It´s an Tanker about 6000 GRT.
This ship is very high detailed ( Dat.file bigger then 5,3 MB )

I made this ship for the German´s but you can add it to every Nation.

The Tanker based on the Hull from the Empire Celt Tanker.

You ships is excellent:up:

[iambecomelife]

Very nice. The wood texture you are using looks good on the ship, and the awning frame on top of the bridge is excellent.

[Jimbuna]

Another great job :up:

[bigboywooly]

Nice ship

Just read the readme

AG124 is the builder if the NECT :up:

[sh3rules]

Very nice

Although they cant be added to GWX 1.04 as are SH4 units

You got me worried there for a second http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/owen/smoke.gif

[JCWolf]

Is it possible that someone can make the Sill tga files for this ships for the
recon manual!?

I guess Boris could be the Modder for this, but if ther are anybody
capable of doing them it would be a great adding to this awesome Ships...:up:

[lutzow]

Yes, right - there is a lot of ships in my recognition manual without
correct sils...Boris has make just a half of sils for converted ships from
SH4. Rowi's ships like bulker and schute also haves weird sils...
And i have ship CoastalD founded on russian forum SUKHOI - his sil
file is very...hmm...impressive?;)

I renamed him as Coastal Patrolcraft.

[AOTD_MadMax]

Hiho,

thanx for the compliments !

I just overworked the skins from this Tanker cause i was not glad with the "Zebra-Design" of the big Oiltubes on Deck.:damn:

Nice ship! :up:

But it looks like only the deck is reflected by the water.

Can't wait to blow it up ......... even if it's an axis unit. :arrgh!:

[Klaus_Doldinger]

I like it!:yep: :up:

[VonDos]

Very nice tanker! :yep: :yep:
Great model :D really! :up:

I have just a question :oops: : in a test-mission i've launched her 6 torpedos (Type XXI salvo) with succes (500 mt, 90°, hit 6/6) :arrgh!: .. she isn't sunk! :damn:
I'm been unlucky? Or how many lifepoints she had? :rotfl:
Not so important, she's allied :hmm:

Waiting for next HANSA ship! :sunny:

[Klaus_Doldinger]

Actually looking at the tonnage probably the NKLS and maybe the NKSS

Bugs me how the axis esp Germany have C and T class merchants\tankers
Lazy devs
:rotfl:

Nice idea, now that we have german merchants/tankers.:yep:

[Jimbuna]

Nice idea, now that we have german merchants/tankers.:yep:

Which is a little bit more than what the Germans had....at times ;)

[Maraz]

Is there a way to make these ships as Allied too, and make them appear in convoys as generic merchantships (without editing the campaign file I mean)?

Thanks
Maraz

[Woof1701]

That's actually quite easy. You just have to take the file in the data\Roster\Sea\German folder (i.e. NECT_Hansa.cfg) and copy it to the country you like. You'd only have one problem: the German skin would be used on the the British or American ships. Since the campaign in GWX is pretty generic. Those freighters will then spawn as Allied ships as well.

[coronas]

AOTD, can you make two tankers? One for the Hansa Lines and other generic for other nations? Thanks in advance.

[Borgneface]

S! AOTD_MadMax,

I have just discovered your Cargo Ships and the Tanker, they are fantastic. :up:

Thank you

:arrgh!:

[Spruence M]

Good work.

[Laphroaig75]

Found a problem with the modified tanker. At the moment the ships goes down, the systems does, too, I'm afraid. There`s an CTD while sinking the Tanker. Anyone got an idea why ? The other mod (Biyo-Clone) is working. Maybe an error with the cloned Empire Celt ???

[AOTD_MadMax]

Hello Kaleuns,

the Problem with the Tanker is in work.

Now i finished my overworked KGN for the German-Cargofleet.

Its ready for download.
The only problem with this ship is the waterreflection.
I hope that i can fix this after i have learned more about hex-editing cause in this stuff iam formaly known as the biggest newbee forever ! :oops:

No critizism! Ships are a beauty but so clean, some rust and dirt make them more "real"
