Hi everyone!
While Queen Elizabeth WIP is at moment stopped for a visual damage problem, i'd like to introduce a new small work: all four Zara class italian cruisers:

https://image.ibb.co/cfN4hp/Parata.jpg

They're based On Gerome's Zara, rescaled with every detail (X0.87 circa) and cloned for every unit of the class, with 3D differences implemented for every unit (main differences are funnel design, bridge...).
Fiume and Gorizia features a camo skin.
Eqp files updated with some libraryes ude in previous unit Duilio (JapLance and Kovall 's guns librarys, the first one including italian 381mm guns from Jeff-Groves\Privateer)!
Also, i've reworked .zon file (original was Admiral Hipper's one).

Is someone interested in those units' release?

Best regards,
Vd

:Kaleun_Salute:

Hi mate and welcome!
Just download a new ship, unzip .zip or .rar file into your MOD folder (included in main SH3 folder). Now open JSMGE and activate downloaded mod.
Now it should work, but your ship need a name.
Go to sea folder, find englishname file (or frenchname, or german name, this depend from your sh3 language), open it with notepad and add a line according with readme file included in your dowloaded ship's pack.

An alternative method of installation is included into readme.txt in all my units.

Dear VonDos!

If you are planning to continue working on new ships for the SH3, please pay attention to rare ships of special construction, such as seaplane, submarine, destroyer and depot tenders:

Seaplane tender USS "Curtiss"

Destroyer tender USS "Denebola"

Destroyer tender HMS "Woolwich"

Destroyer tender HMS "Tyne"

Depot ship HMS "Resource"
http://images.vfl.ru/ii/1545727118/e87fb211/24722063_m.jpg

These ships could greatly diversify the game.
I hope you have the desire to do something like that :Kaleun_Salute:

12-28-18, 07:57 AM

Apart from very few movements most depot ships are port bound so very little use in game unless you script then in yourself and then attack ports.

Of more use are the drop in units that show without any additional work needed

I agree with bigboywooly. Still talking about ship classes scarcely represented in SH games, maybe more useful could be a few (more) models of Armed Merchant Cruiser (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_auxiliary_and_merchant_cruisers#World_War_ II), CAM ship (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAM_ship), MAC ship (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant_Aircraft_Carrier), Q-ship (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-ship), ASW Trawler (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trawlers_of_the_Royal_Navy), Submarine Chaser (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_chaser), Patrol Craft Escort and Patrol Craft Escort (Rescue) (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrol_Craft_Escort), Patrol frigate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_frigates_of_World_War_II), Patrol Yacht and Patrol Yacht (Coastal). Especially during the early part of the conflict, those inexpensive vessels often converted from requisitioned merchant ships and boats, were the backbone of Atlantic convoy defenses, but only a few ship classes of them have been modelled in game, and some types are represented just by generic and rather basic models.

Can we say both? :)

The Caio Duilio/ Andrea Doria-class was an evolution over the preceding
Conte di Cavour-class. Only superstructure and secondary armament seem to have changed among the two classes, but the hull design looks almost identical.

Hi Gap!
Yes, main difference was secondary\anti aircraft armament:
Cavour\Cesare was "old syle", with six binate anti ship turrets, while Doria\Duilio was based on Littorio's new configuration, with 10 single 90mm turrets for a\a and 4 more turrets as "true" secondary armament. Also Duilio hasn't 8x100mm.

BTW, i've hardly reworked Duilio, now more realistic, proportioned, and more historically correct.
You can see both class here:

I can use Wargaming's model as reference, but i'll make my own model because... well, half of the fun is in 3d modeling :D

Btw, i'm also glad to annunce another WIP, a modern hospital ship based on Wilhelm Gustloff\Robert Ley german converted cruise ships:

Model is based on original AOTD_MadMax's 2007 release, reworked, reproportioned, added details, re-uvmapped and with light effects for night!
I'm trying to contact author but still missing on this site from a couple of years.. does anyone know how to contact him please?
Ten years ago he allow me to use all his model, but i'd like to ask him again, for be sure, after all this time :salute:

Unfortunately I can't help you on that. Your wise conduct about credits and permissions is commendable, but since you already got MadMax's permission, I think that crediting him as he deserves will be enough :)

While making some tests in a 1vs1 cruisers battle, i've found some missing faces on the keel of Da Giussano cruiser.

Hey VonDos

I'm loving your ship models, they look superb :D. Just one question, I have downloaded a few ships into my game and I'm wondering if it's possible for them to spawn into a campaign game. If not, is there any way for me to add them into one.

Keep up the great work :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

Hi TheGreatBritannia, and thanks!

Well, civil units will be spawned into campaign as "random units", as single ships or in convoy.
About military vessels, this can be different. Some, for example british CL and BB will be spawned in rare convoy also, others, for example italian warships, will not.

I suggest you to read a guide about Mission Editor. This utility is included into SH3 installation, and allow you to modify Scripted Layer and Random Layer.
Those files regulates spawning of both civil and military ships (time and place) into a campaign game. I'll also learn how to create single or multiplayer mission :03:

You can find a lot of info about Mission Editor into "SH3 Mission Designers' Forum", here on SubSim.

Vd

For everyone interested, i've permission from GWX team to mod\rework their nice Deutschland class "pocket battleships" (Graf Spee, Admiral Scheer, "early" Deutschland, late "Lutzow". Note: Lutzow was renamed and refitted Deutschland).

https://i.ibb.co/882kB2H/pocscharb.jpg

Graf Spee and Admiral Scheer were similar and, as you can see, models are ready. Major differences were in bridge\command deck, funnel and bow shape. Guns also have been implemented.
Deutschland\Lutzowhad had a really different superstructure configuration (in GWX Deutschland was a Graf Spee's clone, while Lutzow had correct late configuration) , so they will require more time.

I don't see the need to make all three Pocket battleships.

I can reply just for myself:
because is funny for me to do.
Literally, for me this is the essence of my modding.
The "motivation", the reason if you prefere.

I know, this could be seen as a "mediocre" reply.
But one day a lot of years ago, i was looking for specific mod, and no one appeared to be interested in this mod.
One guy said me "if you want it, why don't you do it by yourself?".
At first impression, this could appear as a sign of arrogance. But, honestly, this guy and others were really avaiable with me. They told me a lot of things about modding. They dedicate me a huge amount of time, for a mod they could create in few minutes.
They also had their reasons, i guess :03: and i'm gratefull enought.

And, after all, you can download the pack and delete 3 ship from roster and sea folder. You'll have a working single ship.
You can choose your favorite. Which one will you choose? Graf Spee, Lutzow, Deutschland or Admiral Scheer? :)

Some news about the Von Dos work. We decided to make a collaboration with Von Dos. For now, I'll make all the texture of his model. The future ones and I will update the old ones, that are already release.

I've started by the models for the Regia Marina. The idea is to make some texture update by naval forces, Regia Marina, Kriegsmarine, Royal Navy, USN etc.. Using each time the fabulous model done by Von Dos.

I Use SH4, but Von Dos can converted my work for his SH3 model (It's almost the same folder structure for SH4 and SH3) so no problem to update and converted models and textures for one or the other version of Silent Hunter.
The pict I'll show here come from SH4 but it's the SH3 Von Dos model that have been adapted for SH4. So I guess the render will be the same on SH3.

Here we are. So glad to start this new adventure with our famous 3D artist Von Dos, who give to our SH so much new fun. Thank to him:Kaleun_Cheers:

The texture update for the Regia Marina. I'll put some S3D pict to show the texture update from the basic mod and some pict in game to see the render.

And thanks for those amazing textures!
First time i've tested them, this was my face: :o
So thrilled! I struggle to recognize my own ships, so well dressed.

Re-conversion from SH4 to SH3, as you stated, is extremely easy. I've made a test with Cesare and Duilio, converted into multiskin versions in order to act as Cavour and Doria also. With some little UVmap fix for adjust some details, voilà some results! (note, guns still original at moment, i use a different\updated version of them):

As said, WOW. In my opinion,those "dresses" really enhance my simple models! :up:

PS at moment every unit will be released as AI.
Everyone, sure including itadriver, will be free to convert them as playable!

Thank you ArnoldR. I'll delete it on the camo version scheme.
Let be the most accurate possible:salute:
I need to update this paint as the camo was in dark blue and not in green like showing in the S3D pict. I find a new source..

Ok, let's go on with the Lützow.

VonDos - amazing to see you are still active on here and working on your amazing models. I've just returned to working on the total surface warfare mod and I used to know how to resize a ship .... but I've complete forgotten. I need to reduce the size of the Ops Monsoon Richleiu class (because the model is actually a DunkerQue ... just it's too big. I did this to some other models in the past (probably 8 years ago, maybe longer) ... I cant for the life of me remember how.

VonDos

11-18-20, 01:01 PM

Hi polyfiller, and thanks for your words =)
Well, i've rescaled a single unit, Zara, times ago, maybe someone can do the process faster and faster, but those are my notes, step by step:

- Phase 1 - easy -

0) Backup the original ship. All the folder. Always.
1) Open .dat file with 3ditor and export ALL 3D models in a new folder (inside ship's folder, or on your desktop, you can choose).
You can use "list" button and "3d model" for identify all of them in less time.
2) Open a 3d model, for example the main hull, with a 3d modelling software (wings3d, milkshape3d, maya... again, you can use your favorite one), and rescale it on all 3 axis (for example, if you've on scale axis "X=1.0, Y=1.0, Z=1.0", and you need to reduce to half the dimension, you'll insert "X=0.5, Y=0.5, Z=0.5").
3) Repeat this for every single model in your folder!
4) Import them into original dat with 3ditor; you'll found every object smaller but out of place, with, for example, rudder and propellers far from the ship,
floating into nothing! Why?

- Phase 2 - boring -

5) Why you say? Because you need to rescale also every "translation" coordinate (X, Y and Z) of every single node of the ship.
You can use "list" button and "nodes" for identify all of them in less time.
For example, if you had "Traslation: X:1 , Y:2, Z:4", you should insert "Translation: X:05, Y=1, Z=2". Don't change rotation data!
6) Test the ship ingame! If something appear in wrong place, verify the previous step for object out of place. If all is ok, you can sing "i've finished, all is done?" No .-.

- Phase 3 - why i'm really doing this? -

7) Open ship's .zon file also with 3ditor.
8) From ship's .dat file in 3ditor click on a node, go where you can see the model of the ship and push "toggle zones editor"(the green and blue button with a circle and a rectangle).
9) On the right, a "property tree" box will appear. Click on the main hull,open every sphere and every box. Have a good work rescaling all the coordinates of spheres and boxes. One by one.
10) Repeat step 9 for every other 3d object (funnels, masts, lifeboats... all of them!)
11) Test the ship. Try her in combat situations. Shoot her, verify if the fires are floating over the ship or come from inside her, for example. All is ok? :up:

- Phase 4 - Enjoy yourself!

12) You've finished. Take a nap, a beer, or whatever you want! :Kaleun_Cheers:

Hope this will help!
If you've answers, i'm here :salute:

Hi everyone!
Just a couple of pics for inform about work in progress.
In those days i'm reworking all Zara class cruisers, in order to allow them to be repainted by flush deck, like the rest of the fleet :)
New version included a more sophisticated UVMap, 3D details (stairs, portholes, cables, etc), and a major attention to class' members differences (funnel, hulls and bridges had differences, as you can see in this pic).
Also, new searchlights (by Sphere) and camo weapons are under works.

Pola and Fiume, note differents funnels and command deck's design... Pola command tower still unfinished, is just for give an impression...

https://i.ibb.co/C0csHT0/SH3-Img-17-1-2021-16-29-33-779.jpg

After the repaint, those ships will join the others into Regia Marina fleet (Cesare and Duilio BB lasses, San Giorgio, Trento CA class, Garibaldi, Montecuccoli, Barbiano and Capitani Romani CL classes...), who are now under final phase of wips or under beta tests, with new camo weapons and searchlights also.

Its just locations of node points and the real objects are in the Libary folder linked through the eqp file.So what is the idea of oragnise in this way.And if the items are in different files it is possible to have preview of the whole ship in s3ditor at all?:06:

02-13-21, 04:50 PM

Those (NPPQ_, NPQB_...) are "timelined" unit.
If you try them into museum, you will see a lot of details changing during different years (hull colors and details, lighted\darkened windows, platforms for guns etc).

Idea behind this is to have units who can "change" during war's years without adding clones and clones (Queen of Bermuda is a lighted cruise ship until september '39, become darkened during conversion days, become an AMC with guns, a scout planes, different windows configuration, different lifeboats configuration, gray colors etc, and late in the war she become a troop transport, without hangar\scout planes, different masts configurations, cranes, etc. (see the proposed picture near to dowload link).

Hull included in dat file is just a reference for place guns' nodes.
For see all pieces togheter, you can export single .obj files in 3ditor from library and import them into main dat under related nodes, following .eqp definitions.
This will require time :hmmm:

Well so the only difference between PMB and PQB is that PMB is Type 13 and PQB is Type 103.Wonder what differnece will that make, perhaps an AMC will actively engage enemy and ocean liner will try to run away?

So if I put type 103 in sh commander after May 1943,that will save the trouble having to split between PMB and PQB as well?

Well, different designation are intended for mission editing and .RND spawning.
Type 13 will be spawned as random auxiliary cruiser, while type 103 as random troop transport \ passenger ship.
If you use sh commander yes. Just be carefull, roster file also should be put in the same way, in order to avoid ctd...

Littorio's type of anchor\chains and command tower, with small modifications, appear to fit well with older battleships also (Cesare and Doria classes):

YYes, it's a great shot. Indeed it is a perfectly redesigned Duilio-class battleship, based on the advanced Littorio-class EO, with more accurate superstructures. I noticed that the new features include 3d anchor chains, a new command tower with glass windows, crewed interiors, further 3d details, ladders, new life rafts, improved UVMap, and many more fics. Tell me, what program do you use for editing? I love your pictures, and they are gorgeous. I tried to do something similar myself, and I had a photo background erase (https://depositphotos.com/bgremover.html)r in my arsenal, as well as a good image enhancement editor. Still, I didn't do as well as you did.

Thank you mate!
Pictures are unedited ingame screenshoots from SH3, just converted with Irfanview and, when needed, assembled with MS Bitmap.

3D models are built with Maya, while import in SH3 engine (dat files) is done with 3Ditor. Models' textures for all latest ships released this year are from flush deck (previous was based on standard textures or reworked in MSpaint \ photoshop), and every work is based on other's people work, their names are listed into credits, and it's really important, for me, remember them :salute:
