[WIP] RMS Titanic, Olympic Class liner (WW1 era)

[VonDos]

Hi everyone!

With privateer help, using Aquitania as base, i've started this new liner:

RMS TITANIC

She was an Olympic class liner, owned by White Star Line
(Like Rms Olympic and Hmhs Britannic)

She sank in 1912 after hit iceberg, with great loss of lifes.

Note:

1 - 4° funnels was a dummy, this is correct.
2 - She isn't a WW2 era liner, i know, btw... what a nice ship she was!

What do you think about this?

[Sailor Steve]

I think you should stop making these great huge ocean liners and make what I want instead!
:rotfl:

No, just kidding. This one is looking very good, whether she was there for real or not.:sunny:

[VonDos]

Thanks mate ^_^
I know.. british carriers, others warships, small freighters..
Priority are others!

But i'm a liner fans, what can i do? xd

PS Titanic will take a place in my campaign, in bermuda triangle :yep:

[Madox58]

Looking good Mate!
:up:

Glad the adjusted file imported OK.

[Friction150]

Looks awesome Vondos, glad to see that you found a model that worked. Just remember, it's only gonna take one torpedo to sink that baby, after all the RL version hit an icecube, not 600 lbs of TNT. :D Can't wait to test her out mate.

[Reece]

Core! That's coming along beautifully VonDos, I love picture #3, looks awesome going down, can't wait to see it in game!:up::up:

[U-46 Commander]

Cant wait to sink that! Will look good on my patrol tonnage!:smug:

[Task Force]

Did you know that the Bermuda Triangle has moved to the coasts of britan.:D :rotfl:

[Reece]

She isn't a WW2 era liner, i know, btw... what a nice ship she was!
There were others of the same class though that were used for troop transport ships (such as HMT Aquitania) in WW2::D

[Madox58]

Very good point Reece.
And if you want to be honest?
There are many units missing.
Any unit added is a plus.
As The Grey Wolves are moveing on to SH4?
It's up to you all to complete things.
You know you have complete support right?
:up:

[rifleman13]

Oh, good Lord! :o

The RMS Titanic... 46329 GRT... :arrgh!:

Oh, the tonnage... :rock:

Keep up the excellent work! :up:

[melnibonian]

Good work as always. I'm looking forward to sink this baby :arrgh!:

[AOTD_MadMax]

Another great job VD !

Iam waiting for this beauty !

Wait!

There's a World War I mod in progress??? :o

Interesting... :hmm:

[Jimbuna]

There should be plenty of icebergs ingame for her to hit. :lol:

[linerkiller]

just returned from holidays...and WOW! what a stunning model!:o

[Yorktown_Class]

Looks good VD as usual.

I got one for you,how about the SS United States,a ship still afloat today,would be harder to sink though,it was a trans atlantic liner,but the thinking was in war time it would be a troop ship,developed for the navy it has many water tight compartments ready for war time use.
Here is the full story..

Still the fastest liner afloat.
Bigger than Titanic..

[Hunter]

As great as usual, thuogh for my liking it could be a sort of gost ship for SH3.

Just glimpsed at HMS Warspite at your signature VonDos aand was struck by the idea that we still don't have HMS Renown while having nice Repulce model. :arrgh!: May be a next moding idea to share?!

[Ruzbasan]

It would be great if you could build the S.S. America, which was the smaller version of the S.S. United States. The America was used as a troop transport throughout WW2 and went by the name of S.S. West Point during wartime. She sailed unescorted due to her high speed. By the end of the war the West Point had transported over a 100,000 Allied soldiers. The America also had numerous gun emplacements on board during the war:

The S.S. America would make a beautiful and historically accurate target!
(My Dad sailed on her along with 6,000 other soldiers from Norfolk to Naples,Italy in 1943!)

Can you make the S.S. America?

Strange, shipwakes are vanished O_O
Evil ship, really >_<
I'm fighting for know how to return shipwakes on :damn:

[Jimbuna]

It just had to be near an iceberg :lol:

[rifleman13]

One question: Are you going to add some defenses to this baby? :hmm:
Some guns on the stern or on the bow? :|\\

[Reece]

Looking good VonDos, I wish I could help you out with the wake problem!:oops: Where's Rubini when you need him!:yep:

[VonDos]

Thanks, Reece; for now Privateer is giving me a GREAT hand ^_^

This ship will be released also with some guns, probably, yes; SS America could be a nice mod idea for the future, like laconia also...

[Ruzbasan]

VonDos,

Your model of the Rex has some of the basic shape of the SS America, perhaps you could use it as a starting point for a model of the SS America.

The Titanic looks fantastic! Just gorgeous!

Whew!!:oops: Had me worried for awhile! thanks :yep:

[Madox58]

I've seen the problems and am in the process of adjusting them.
:yep:

It's mostly simple adjustments but will take a day or two to complete.
Real life is kicking my behind!!
:nope:

Not to mention other obligations.
:lol:

Never fear!
I'll get VonDos taken care of.

She isn't a WW2 era liner, i know, btw... what a nice ship she was! There were others of the same class though that were used for troop transport ships (such as HMT Aquitania) in WW2::D
http://www.maritimequest.com/liners/aquitania_page_4.htm

That was a different class. Not a single one of the original Olympic class survived to serve in WWII.

[Reece]

Oh well! They look the same!:lol:

[Task Force]

Cant wait to see this mod in game. Ive always wanted to sink a mega liner. maby my sub can get in a new Titanic Movie. Id name it. U45 meets Titanic. The tonage awaits.

Ps I bet the titanic lovers out there want to hang you now.:rotfl: Come on titanic lovers you know who you are.:rotfl:

[VonDos]

New windows, reflections and some shadow.
Improved bow and stern 3D model.

[Task Force]

It looks great.:D Also like that you didnt make it like all other titanic models its not all pretty and clean its got rust.

[VonDos]

Wakes are on they'r ways ^_^
WIP

In 1940, she MUST be rust :yep: :rotfl:

[STEED]

The size of that mother............:huh: :rock:

Welcome aboard the RMS Titanic. On the stern we aft section we have deck chairs for your Enjoyment. If you look closley the whole trip you will see you might see a periscope, If you see said periscope. Run for your life boats and prepare for impact.:rotfl: (lets hope you put your trays in there upright position.) :lost:

Well if titanic hadent been sunk by a iceburg. She would have been sunk by a uboat. Just imagine the look on captian of that subs face.:D

[Reece]

Damn, there is a chair! :eek:

[Jimbuna]

I've heard rumours if you check the 14th porthole along from the aft section on the 6th deck, you can see Miss Winslett getting her kit off :yep:

Ahh gee, your pulling my leg Jim, really though!:oops::yep:

Excellent work VonDos!

[VonDos]

WOW! SHIPWAKES SPOTTED! :up:

Hard battle, but victory at last; the problem was the draft level; after a total dat rebuilt, now work; the major problem remain the collapsables bridge.

[Philipp_Thomsen]

Say, I was thinking about something here...

Don't the ships in SH3 break in half if the torpedo strikes in the right spot?

So, can't we use this trigger to activate when the bow is underwater and the stern is above the water level? That way, if we strike a torpedo on the bow, she will sink like she really did, and when the right moment comes, she will slip in two...

What the top minds in this forum think about this? possible?

VonDos, this ship is coming around incredible! Those wakes should be a little larger, more foam around the ship, she makes a pretty large mess in the water around it!

But it's looking very good indeed! :up:

[Madox58]

Even with the draft adjusted, the nodes need lowered a bit.
Then the wakes and such will be better.
:yep:

The Zones are nearly sorted.
:up:

As a smaller unit was used?
All zones need enlarged and moved.
Then some zones needed to be added.

The deck cabins no longer disappear,
and you can blast things away now.
:lol:

Just don't aim for my deck chair!!!
:rotfl:

[iambecomelife]

Nice deck chair. Now if you make a few more we can rearrange them, as a metaphor for a futile situation. :yep:

[Madox58]

I see we need to add smoke to the last stack?
Send me a link to the latest files.
I should have them done by Sunday.

No - that one was a dummy. It would not have produced smoke from the engines, although it may have had a few steam pipes for whistles.

[Madox58]

Really?
:hmm:
Why would you have a stack of that size
but not have a use for it?
Those things were HUGE!!
Imagine the scrap value today!!

You are correct sir,give him a beer on me:()1:

[Jimbuna]

IIRC the artificial funnel was used for passengers pet storage :hmm:

[Penelope_Grey]

One tiny little thing VonDos... The Titanic, flew the Blue Ensign not the red one, because Captain Smith had served in the Navy. So if you are going for total authenticity of ship... a blue ensign is needed :up:

You are correct, however if she was serving in WW2, possably as a troop ship, I think the red ensign would be flying!:yep:

[iambecomelife]

IIRC the artificial funnel was used for passengers pet storage :hmm:

I read somewhere that just before she went down, a passenger climbed inside and opened up all the dog cages. Not that it did the dogs any good - a couple of them were later found dead/dying in the debris field after the sinking.:nope:

@privateer - it was common back then to add extra funnels to passenger ships for purely aesthetic reasons. Three and four-funneled liners tended to be more popular with the public, so it may have been worth the initial investment.

Great work, can't wait to download!


1 - 4° funnels was a dummy, this must be correctd.


But the fourth smoke stack really was a dummy. it was put there for ventalation and to make the ship look more powerful.

[rifleman13]

Really?
:hmm:
Why would you have a stack of that size
but not have a use for it?
Those things were HUGE!!
Imagine the scrap value today!!
:lol:
The guys at White Star Line wanted to really to stick it up there with their rivals Cunard. :cool:
So they added the fourth funnel to make something impressive more awesome because during those days, three were the norm... I think... :hmm:

[Reece]

Just wondered how it's going VonDos, hope it's not causing too many problems!:oops::yep:

[VonDos]

Hi Reece!

Works are going well, i think ship is 50% completed.
This will be a long job, as said ^_^

I think this value has to do with two figures. A: Initial damage caused by torpedo impact. B: Secondary damage caused by cargo (fuel or ammo cargo type)

I ran into this when I was messing around with torpedo damage zones to try to get it close to a real value of 600 LBS of TNT. The ships carrying cargo would split in half at least 90% of the time, no matter where they were hit (bow, stern, under hull, direct impact.)

[Madox58]

Stop and look at the files involved people.

With breaking up a ship?

The collisionable stuff is attached to the FULL Hull object.
The _B and _A are not visibley assigned in the dat.
They appear when the MAIN object which has the master values
assigned is terminated.

I would start at createing a NEW zone.
Then assign that zone to different areas
and re-assign parent-child ID's.
Always watching the Visable settings in the dat!

S3D can show you this stuff.
Open your minds!!
It's all there!!
:rotfl:

[VonDos]

Waiting for this ^_^
Should i continue the model\repaint work or a stop time is better until this will be ready? :hmm: :hmm:

With this, i'll start to work directly from your file ^_^

[Reece]

Please just continue as you first intended VonDos, the breaking of the ship could be done later, I for one couldn't care less if it broke in half or not, in fact I think sinking ships look more awesome when they don't split in half, IMO!!:D Such as:

Nice work overall but it looks like the bow still has some rake to it. The Titanic's bow was essentially straight, forming an almost perfect 90' angle to the water surface. Generally few ships had raked bows until circa 1930-1935 (not counting old-fashioned clipper bows).

[Reece]

Although from a sim, are supposed to be accurate::yep:

[Task Force]

Yea the ship sim model is veary detailed, but that is because it is for sailing not sinking.:D

[VonDos]

Also in simulator she isn't too vertical.
From a photo:

http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00455/titanic-682_455653a.jpg

[Friction150]

Looks good VonDos, I wouldn't worry about it, I think the angle is correct.

[iambecomelife]

From an angle a vertical bow will often appear sharply raked. There was a slight rake and a very pronounced slant beneath the waterline but the portion above water seems to have been a bit straighter than vondos' model. I don't mean to be a total "rivet-counter", or anything - it's your call.:yep:

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/Rusty_S85/Titanic/TitanicProfile1of.jpg

Anyway, great job, and I can't wait to see it as "Olympic", slathered with dazzle paint!

[Steeltrap]

I don't mean to be a total "rivet-counter", or anything - it's your call.:yep:


Just as well - at last count, Titanic had about 3 MILLION rivets....that's a LOT of counting!!

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[Madox58]

You all just slay me at times!!
:rotfl:
We put deck chairs on for your enjoyment,
But the Bow is off by 4 degrees or so.
:lol:
It is a game after all.
And how many could stand actual scrutany?
:hmm:

Face it people.
There is NOT one ship for the SH games that is perfect to the last detail!!
Show me the one you THINK is perfectly modeled?
I'll show you the faults in the model!!

[Reece]

@ Privateer :up:

[roadhogg]

For my two-penneth i'm with Reece.

I think a ship that size would look better slipping under the waves in one piece.

Perhaps you could release the ship VonDos, and include, or add later, an alternate zones file for those that want to increase the chances of her breaking up?

I know i won't be disappointed if she stays together.

If i ever see her in game i'll probably be too busy looking at her to get a decent salvo off :)

As I said - just a suggestion, with no disrespect intended... I understand vondos must have worked hard on it, and I know firsthand how hard it is to design accurate shipping.

[Reece]

As I said - just a suggestion, with no disrespect intended... Oh I don't think anyone has taken your advise the wrong way!:D I for one am happy we have 2 great ship builders for this sim!:yep:
It's just that this is "the" ship that has probably had the biggest impact in history, so naturally everyone is puting in their 2 cents, you only have to look at how many pages to this thread, for a single ship, that's a lot of interest, and has a lot of people waiting for the launch!:up:

[VonDos]

Peace, mates ^_^
Advices and suggestions are always welcome :yep:
I've said and i will say always :up:

Bow profile isn't so difficult to change, i've done something similar while converting from QM to QE; i'll try a small correction for a more historical correct ship :ping:

[VonDos]

Voilà, reworked bow, and others textures improvements.

http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/4639/titanicbc0.jpg

Bow wave is a little behind the right place, isn't it?

What do you think about this ship?

I think it's remarkable!! I'm sure you've got it right, so this is more a matter of my surprise, but I hadn't realised the funnels were quite so raked.

Oh, one other thing - re the 2nd picture: what is it with this ship and ice????

[Philipp_Thomsen]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh... yeahhhhhh... :D

[Ruzbasan]

VonDos,

Not to be a nagging rivet counter, but the funnels and masts on your model appear to be angled too far backward.

Looking at side views of the Titanic, the funnels and masts are not so raked backward:

http://www.abratis.de/ship/exterior/pic/titanic.jpg

Could you reduce the angle on the funnels and masts a bit?

[Friction150]

VonDos, mate, I feel sorry for you. You must feel like people are picking this thing apart. I think it looks superb! Brilliant, considering the model you got wasn't even really intended for a game like this. You had to do alot of hard work. I applaude you for it mate!

[VonDos]

Thanks Friction ^_^

@ Ruzbasan;
mmm i think the masts and funnels angle in yuor photo depend from your's photo angolation; watch this:

If I ever encounter her, I think I'll just pipe "all hands on deck" and let them get photos,, she is just too pretty to send eels her way.


I also agree with the rest, One hull, I think my entire torp load would be needed to cut her in half.

[Jimbuna]

Got her installed Von and will test and report this evening http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

[Hitman]

OK, since nobody has mentioned it before I will tell you a curiosity while we wait for this beauty to be released :)

As has been said already, Titanic was the first of a class of vessels with three units, the two others being Olympic and Gigantic. This last one saw a change in her name after the Titanic accident, to "Britannic" (Gigantic remembered too much to the ill-fated older brother). But WW1 started in 1914, and the ships were taken over by the government and completed as troop transport (Olympic) and hospital ship (Britannic)

Britannic hit a mine in the Mediterranean and went down, and here is where the interesting detail arises: Among the survivors was a nurse, Mrs. Violett Jessop, who had already been a survivor from the Titanic, where she worked as waitress :o That woman survived the sinking of the two twin ships, and lived to go down with Cousteau on an exploration submarine to visit the remains of the Britannic.

It is unknown if the White Star Line allowed her later to travel in another of their ships :rotfl:

[Jimbuna]

A kind of female Jonah :hmm:

:lol:

[VonDos]

Mrs. Violet Jessop has been aboard also R. M. S. Olympic in 1911 when the British Cruiser H. M. S Hawke collided with ship's stern :hmm: :roll: :huh: :o :dead:

A trio of photos, 3 liverys:

Awwww yes I forgot that one :rotfl: Incredible record!!! :arrgh!:

So if the new unit produces a crash to desktop or your computer explodes, remeber: It's because Von Dos actually modelled Mrs. Jessop on the ship !!!

[VonDos]

Some news;
i've corrected some bugs:
\There was a "hole" in a crane model near the stern; now is ok.
\There was a window textures on the same crane, ok.
\ShipWakes bugfix 0,5mt ok (thanks Reece!)
\Position light models were white, now they're red and green; ok
\Marconi's cables was withe near Marconi's room's top; now they're black; ok
\Added a gold stripe between black and white on the hull (White star livery)

Reece found the "last minute easter egg" XD
Little help: it spin quickly!

Now we know how Olympic broke in 2 and sink a ww1 german submarine with is weight!

Goodnight!

[Task Force]

Hard to belive that that little IIa is that biggest ships worst enemy.:lol:

[Reece]

Your right there Task Force, Tis a sort of David & Goliath!:yep:
Back from the big smoke, kind of glad she hasn't been launched yet! Would hate to miss it after all of this!:D I know this is rather late in the game, but wonder if it is possable (or worth the work) to have the ships name added on the bow in it's correct location!:cool:

[The General]

My Gott! Your work here is fantastic! I can't wait to see the camoflage vesrion of of Olympic in the game. Are you guys gonna make models for the SH4 engine? I understand that a full A.T.O. Mod is being worked on by TEAM Greywolves as we speak.
