Gunney

The much wanted narwahl submarine is almost completed, all that needs doing is scripting and texturing, and waterproofing....as i had the mexicans putting it together.... if anyone would be willing to do either, would be much appreciated.

Man, three posts only and you have already produced the Narwhal!!! :o That's what I call a performance :lol: :up:

Sorry that I can't help you to put the model in the game, but when it reaches in-game testing status I'll be glad to help, just send me a PM :up:

Drooling already at the perspective of finally having the big one :rock:

Gunney, I have a couple people chomping at the bit to help and one of the devs has even popped in to offer assistance if our modding group gets stuck.

If you check into the forum at http://forum.kickinbak.com we can help. We can help with releasing a stock version, an RFB version, a TMO version, a FOTRS version, and an RSRD version.

Don't be shy.;) Having one of the devs offer to assist just shows how much people want to help you get this into the game.

if you choose the one line I told you in imageshack it gets full screen right here :)

I like it, do you have any textures to go with it ?

also the crane would be stored while at sea, my Jyunsen B had one at first too.

impressive work, one of my if not my preferred american sub !:up:

looking forward to try it soon !

no worries, when im done this model, i will certainly make a nautilus, as that was the sister ship.

Hitman
09-08-08, 02:52 PM
Studying the model in detail it seems like a resized Sargo with the extra large gun platform, right? :hmm:

It's good enough but if you have time you should rework the stern and sharpen the bow a bit, those were the two most easily identificable points of the hull (Besides its size, that is).

Do you need pictures, plans? I can provide some links :yep:

Looking forward to seeing it in game :up:

No textures, im debating weather to release it like is, or to go back and completly remodel it out of the german IXD2 hull

OK, so no texture, not a problem. But if all that needed doing was the scripting and the texturing, then the 3d model was completed, what would starting (again) from the IXD2 model accomplish? Wouldn't that mean you just had to redo all the work you had already done to get back to the stage you were at when you originally posted?

I don't see the benefit in doing that. Don't redo work you've already done! If you've already done the model, release it and people can texture it and do whatever is necessary.

What's the deabte about?

keltos01
09-11-08, 12:38 AM
agreed, I can even do (bad) textures if needed, just need the 3d mesh in .obj format.

Do both.....:)

Let people tinker with the model already done and also try to make a more accurate model using the Type IXD2

The german hull will be slightly better for the stern, but the bow will need to be resharpened and also propeller guards will need to be added.

It will also need to be rescaled to the size of the bigger Narwhal class, did you do that already with the Salmon? :hmm:

Nisgeis
09-11-08, 02:14 AM
I'm sure whatever you release, people will love, but if you want to re-model because you're not happy with it, then I can see why you're wondering. I woudln't release something I wasn't happy with.

Gunney
09-12-08, 03:21 PM
the reason is the current one isnt as detailed, but the completed model is on forums.kickinback.com's ftp site, if you give me your emails, ill email it to you, plus, if you can porvide aim/skype, then it can be much easier to comunicate.

It's very bad for your horn, yes. I don't really know why this was never implemented. We have the technology, we can rebuild him... no, sorry that was the bionic man wasn't it? We have the ability to rig the Narwhal up as a playable sub, I think.

Well actually, even though it's been my favorite sub since Silent Service I and II (2 deck guns mostly ;) ) I have IJN work to do !

As for keeping secrets, we sometimes keep them so well that the new becomes stale when told...

I actually thought of a Marconi class next when the campaign beta is released.

But Keltos, the Japanese captured the Narwhal in 1942 and used it against the Americans. So you see it is realy a japanese boat. :88)

I thought it was the missing model, but according to Hitman, who had a look at this model, it's a modified fleet sub and not a model of a Narwhal sadly.
