[WIP] New German "Sperrbrecher"

[AOTD_MadMax]

Hello Kaleuns,

iam working on a new "Sperrbrecher" for the German Cargo Fleet.

This ship is made to replace the old "Sperrbrecher" NYAM cause the new ship is more authentic.
Most "Sperrbrecher" are ships from the DDG-Hansa-Line.

This ship is based on the old Empire Freighter from iambecomelife.
I already ask him via PM for permission to use this ship and now iam waiting for his agree !

When he is given the permission this ship could released in a few days.

Here some Pictures :

Man alive!! I second that!! :rock: :D

[Spruence M]

Great ship! Work looks very nice. :up:

[nikbear]

Very impressive:yep:

[papa_smurf]

Exellent work:up: Looks very nice indeed.

Just a shame you can't sink it - been German, (Although you could sink it, and say you didn't see the German flag:arrgh!: )

[iambecomelife]

Go ahead and use it, although IMO it would be better to use the new "Empire Freighter" as the parent unit. Also make sure it is cloned in Pack3d to avoid crashes caused by it and the Empire Freighter having the same ID.

Love it........................:rock:

[Jimbuna]

Looks cool :rock: :up: ....but gotta admit I prefer her as a cargo :yep:

[denis_469]

I think, that would be best if ship cargo be wood, so sperrbrechers loads wood.

[bigboywooly]

Sperrbrechers ( Pathmakers ) shouldnt carry any cargo - except Barrage Balloons
Their job was to explode magnetic mines to allow safe transit of uboats and surface vessels

Hello again,

first i wanne give iambecomelife my thanx for his permission to use one of his very nice units. :sunny:

@ iambecomelife
I dont want to use your brand new Empire Freighter for this project cause your new Empire Freighter is to new to clone it. Its your last released ship, so in my eyes not a ship that i can use.
Maybe in a half year i use it for an other projekt. :rotfl:
I cloned it so bothe, your empire freighter and this one can exist near each other.
That would be a nice battle, who would be the winner ? :rotfl:

@ BBW

Yes i know, this ship must be without any external cargo but iam a big newbee in creating new ships so i have to ask how to change the cargo-loadout to nothing ! ?
Who can give me some instructions ?

@ all

Thanx for your compliments but most work on this ship got iambecomelife, he was the one who realy build this ship.
I only put his ship into another suit and i only changed some minimal parts of his old empire freighter.

Well the best way would be to change the cargo nodes ( K ) to something else
IE S nodes - S05 and upwards
Can you hex edit ?
Tis a simple change

If not email me the file and I will alter and send back
Just the dat will do

[AOTD_MadMax]

Oh many thanks for this BBW :up:

You got an E-mail !
The dat-file is ok ?

Seeya

[bigboywooly]

Got your email and have returned the dat

I think they used to fill the holds of such ships with empty oil drums or such like to help absorb some of the shock of mine detonation. I recall it from the novel version of 'Das Boot'. But I haven't a copy available to check.
Also, will this ship be a replacement for the escort which leads boats out of port at the moment or a new addition to the port trafic.

You will have to manually change the campaign entries for either of those suggestions

Thanx for your help man, that was great so the release of this ship is very near !

At Dinnertime i got an new idea for another german ship and i worked out in a few minutes a Liner for the "Norddeutscher Loyd".
It looks like the Bremen in the 50´s, reduced to 1 funnel !

It doesn´t matter if it is neccessary or not, it´s beatiful. Yesterday I leave Kiel and had the opportunity of watching a german convoy entering in the harbour: most of the ships were your designs and they looked fantastic. Keep on the good work!:up:

[sh3rules]

Nice! And we can't have too many ships.

[coronas]

All new ships are welcomed! C'mon Max..... A new commerce raider, pleaseeeeeeee!:arrgh!:

Damne Maddy, beautifull ships you're making mate...:rock: :yep:

I guess I'll have to update my U-Boat 1.2 Roster and Sea folders!:rock: :hmm: :lol:

[bigboywooly]

No worries Maddy
All I did was the easy bit
:rotfl:

Glad it worked as couldnt test it without the rest of the files

[AOTD_MadMax]

Here is some of my new work.

First should be the "TS Bremen" from Norddeutscher Loyd, a big German Liner.

This ship is based on the big cunard-liner from GWX so i dunno who can give me permission for release this beauty and which modder from this very nice community i have to add to the credits.

First take a look to it !

http://85.25.133.181/Files/mods/MaddisSchiffe2/TSBremen3.jpg

The next one is a clone of an normal SH3-Liner wich also should drive for Norddeutscher Loyd as an smaler regular Liner for the german fleet.

And here are bothe together !

http://85.25.133.181/Files/mods/MaddisSchiffe2/NDLLiner1.jpg

And at the last picture you can see my problem ive got with the Bremen.
I think the GWX-team ore the builder of the Cunard-liner make this ship deeper to water and i wanne have it on the same line as the regular liner.

Where can i fix it ?

After this the ship could be released if i got the permission for that.

I hope you like it !

Best regards

@ BBW

Oh yes, your Hexediting works nice !
The ship without external loading looks more beautifull.
I wanne release it tomorow !
