Neat idea!


Real USS Orion....subtender:

[Raptor1]

This is one of the most original mods I have ever seen :D

I wonder if a Minelayer could be made... (Anyone ever tried making Torpedoes with 0 speed?)

[gimpy117]

nice....i think this would challenge the most seasoned players.

doing re-supply and insertion missions with only a deck gun and a flak gun or two is difficult....and staying alive when zeros and the like are on your tail is even more difficult. and just wait till you have a sub on your tail!

first one to get a kill with her gets a pat on the back !

and i guess there's no deck gun....could we have one?

[andycaccia]

Cool! Now it's hard to run out of fuel with this...:rotfl:
Nice mod, really. if we only could create missions like "replenish subarine USS *submarine_name* (coordinates)".. maybe one day we will..:cool:

It's good to see how this game is getting better with all the mods this community is creating:up:

Good job boys, and THANKS!
Andycaccia

[gimpy117]

any chance of an american BB (1.4?) or cruiser to counter the 1.5 panzershiffe?

[lancerr]

Great job. Care to put together a tutorial on how you did this? I have some modelling skills and with the release of S3D, adding units seems a lot easier.

[wetwarev7]

Good job! Nice change of pace! :up:

[Captain von Keldunk]

Hello
Thanks:up:
With SH3, if you fired on non enemy ship you was enemy to that nation for 24H.
I wonder if same thing is true also for SH4, if so then German raider is possible.
You sail under false flag. say American then sink US ship. and run for 24H.
Maybe if you add a gun or two one can test it with this ship, what do you think
is it possible.:hmm: Hmmm i will test this with us sub ,sink us merchant and see what happens.:D

[Raptor1]

It's a friggin Tanker, It's not supposed to shoot at anything...

[John W. Hamm]

Man I gotta tell ys this is one of the coolest mods, thank you!!, I have a issue though... every time I try for an external viw it locks up my whole computer, not just the game. I have to reboot everytime.

[Captain von Keldunk]

:D Hello
"commerce raider almost ready " good news:up: :up:
To Hamm i used external free cam and no problems.:D
Tried to run supplies to formosa but jap convoy sunkt The good ship Orion.:cry:

[Xantrokoles]

I knewed there will come a Mikhayl Masterpiece!!

let me guess...you made had used some minutes building it and now it is a great bugfree mod:D

[John W. Hamm]

That's pretty strange, the cameras files I used is the stock one (I think, I have a lot of them :doh: ), the only change is the free deck view & some minor tweaks to the binoc. Try to disable the mod, delete the "library" folder, then re-enable and retry :hmm:


I can't explain it, it is in the Camera files, and I appear to be the only one with the problem, I did install your MOD last... at any rate I have a Camera .DAT file that I used to use before RFB1.5 beta came out(becuase it gave a more realistic view with bino's) and I put it after you Mod and it was smooth sailing!! so that is how I will use it. Thanks for an awesome Mod!!

BTW for everyone that is expieriancing having no crew with this mod, the pocket BB MOd, or the DD Mod, it is most likely because you have RFB in one version or another, at least I know RFB 1.5beta renames the crew files in a way that will cause this mod not to be able to find the crew.

[Torps]

This is very nice man I have to give you major credit, very original!

[gimpy117]

i got to thinking could we add a whole new "flotilla" for just merchants?

[Hartmann]

1500 tons ? no worth pay a torpedo for this ship, i will use my deck gun .:-j


Great work !! :up: and very nice screens, it´s nice have some new things in the sim, and expand the limits of gameplay.

ps- the water in some pics is very real, are you using some mod ??

[John W. Hamm]

Well on my first mission I was sent to insert a guy in on main land Japan!!:yep:

As you might reason this is a job for a sub:yep:

But my crew was up to the task:smug:

And of course as one can imagine, if you send an oiler to do a Subs job... The oiler will become a sub:hmm:

So I thought you all might enjoy seeing my valiant crew at work


After getting into the main harbor in Japan we are caught by a DD...
he even stalks us for a while (as though he can't believe what his eyes are seeing)
but then he opens up on us:o

And then began Ramming us

http://static3.filefront.com/images/personal/w/whyokc/135246/unxkwdugfa.jpg

To the point that the old Orian gave in and began to sink... the crew stayed at their post gallantly calling out the dpth as we sank...:rotfl:
http://static3.filefront.com/images/personal/w/whyokc/135246/jlfdfommki.jpg

Even as we reached the Bottom my valiant crew stood their Post

Where they still stand to this day

[John W. Hamm]

My only issue's that I have so far is that if that

1. Once your Battle station claxon starts sounding it never goes off, no matter what you do

2. when you take damage it never shows in your Crew management screen, so it is never fixed.

3. I can't fire my AA guns.

[Lil' Subsim]

Hey, Mik, have you ever think of using a troop transport to do spy insertions, supply missions, commando raids? :hmm: :hmm:

[andycaccia]

It's the right ship to make lifeguard and replenishments. I always hear the sinking sound, but it's a nice background after all...on an old rusty tanker it's hard to have a silent cruise..

I did not notice the AA issue...my ones fired...the bow one for sure. And the damage...i have been bombed but nothing happened. My little floating tank stayed afloat.

But, Mikhayl, what do you mean with "I didn't bother with the damage stuff"??
Are you sayng this ship has no damage model?

[andycaccia]

No, the ship has exact same damage model as the AI ship, so you will burn and sink as easily as the "target version" :) But I didn't link the damage boxes to the .upc file so the damage doesn't show in the damage screen and you can't repair it. To be honest I didn't expect more than 1 or 2 replies so I didn't push the concept much, it's just refreshing to cruise in W_Clear or Kriller's envmods with that rust bucket and it brung back some cool memories to me :)

Lil Subsim, I choose this ship because of its design, it's almost "all open" so you can pretend you're walking from bow to stern. The liners and transport are "closed" so it's not that cool.

Yes I agree, but do not underestimate what you have done. This mod is very very nice. Seriously. It's nice because it is original and because it's the first mod that gives us the ability to sail a merchant.
It has a great potential. Jus wonder if the game had AI subs and we played for the other side...
I'd like to suggest to improve an continue you focuses on this "merchant mod" and especially on the german merchant raider.

[DeepIron]

Incredible work Mikhayl! You've really accomplished something here... :up:

[thasaint]

cool idea for a mod, like i said in the other thread it's like surface ship weekend!

[Will-Rommel]

:/\\!! :rotfl: :damn:



This mod is original, yet not in my pannel ! :lol:

I'll give the german raider a try tho! :arrgh!:

[TheBlobThing]

This mod is so silly, it has to be fun!

Downloading now! :D

[Mickle]

Thank you for this great mod :)
Just sailed to main land Japan, dropped off my spy and got back home in one piece, never seeing another ship... helped that I hit mainland amidst a massive storm that cut visability to nil :D
:up:

[sqk7744]

Great work Mik! :up::up:

How did you add the guns? We are working on a playable PT boat and would very much appreciate any suggestions/tips.

i looked all over the ship but i didnt see any of those green orion slave girls :arrgh!:

great work and thanks for your continued contributions to the community

[Wolfling04]

I havnt been around in several months...atleast since Uboat Missions has been released.

Is this compatiable with the stock 1.4 game?

Playable US Small Old Oiler for SH4 UBM
From the first part of the OP ^^^. So it looks like only for 1.5 :yep:


RDP

[Wolfling04]

Thanks...Not having been around in awhile you kinda get lost on everything :-?

[Schroeder]

I'm running 1.4 and the ship works just fine.:up:

[Wolfling04]

I have tried the install through JGME and when i try to do a campaigne for the U.S. your oiler is the only ship/boat that shows up :-?

[Wolfling04]

Rgr that.

So in theory i could start a patrol with the oiler enabled and if i want to start one with a Tambor just disenable the Oiler

[Wolfling04]

Thank you for the help. Now I'm off to retire for the night

[Suicide Charlie]

And it seems we may be one step closer to a Merchant Raider mod?

*spins around in his computer Captain's chair excitedly*

I've always wondered what it would be like to outfit the commerical rigs I work on with concealed cannon. If somebody ever does develop a Merchant Raider mod (it would probably be real fitting for UBM) I won't have to close the shutters on the windows and screw in red bulbs in the lights (Stay in the closet Sting. Roxanne's on watch duty) anymore!

[Wolfling04]

Everytime I try to use the oiler everything is fine until it loads up. When it does load up i get an "cannot comply" when I try to change speeds, course. Also in the command room the periscopes are moving up and down wildy. And the shortcut buttons in the upper right corner of the screen flash.

I have narrowed this down to TMO 1.5, If I disable TMO, the oiler works like a dream. So i was wondering if a TMO patch is in order like RFB?

[Wolfling04]

Rgr that I was just wondering :D

[Hitman]

Nice mod :up:

Oh and if you are interested in adversarial multiplayer just give me a call, I take the sub and you can man your tanker :lol:

[Xantrokoles]

I got a Idea too:

Why don't you play merchant against merchant?
Flak versus Flak
11knt zig zag course
I guess this woud be a long but funny fight...

OMG WTF REEEEELOAD YOU NOOOB
FASTER FASTER FASTER
GRRRR:damn::damn::damn: COME ON
TAKE THAT ....

[adamae]

[Joalphski]

Hey guys, Gamefront won't let me on their site anymore thanks to all these website restore errors I get (I really think it's SOPA), and I can't get all these totally amazing ships you're making. I've always wanted to sail a merchant ship in this game, so perhaps can I PM you my email so you can send it to me? Just curious.

[fithah4]

I just downloaded from post #56 looking forward to try this out!!

Thank-you to mikhal for making this mod and chrysanthos

for the download

[Joalphski]

Uuuuuuuh disregard. I have a friend who helped me. :P Nevermind, you can disregard that post.

[Hylander_1314]

No worries. I had to add Firefox, as IE wouldn't load up gamefront. Kept giving me an error on the page warning, and just kick out of it.

M$ at their best I guess!

[chrysanthos]

[capmalo]

Gamefront have a really problem with his files :hmmm:. Someone can upload them on an other host (like Mediafire or on Subsim !!!). Please do this to save the mod database :yep:

[chrysanthos]
