[VonDos]

Hi everyone!

RMS Laconia is now in beta-testing phase; this is the official VonDos shipyard poster:

Please, suggestions!

:D ...wow...first to post a reply...awesome...simply awesome!:up:

[linerkiller]

maybe the funnell angle is too big...... __//___
:hmm:

[geosub1978]

A beautiful extra unit is always welcome! This could also have 3 funnels according to some photoes!

Do you have a link for Conte Verde anyway?

[VonDos]

Update after hours of work ^_^
See the new image, and please, suggestions!
Wwit 3 funnels? why?
For Conte Verde i haven't a link now, a must go now, but please try search.

[Jimbuna]

Nice one VD :up:

[nikbear]

I like it,very nice:up:looks good just as it is to be honest;)

[Sailor Steve]

It's nice to see some of the smaller liners. Good job!:sunny:

[geosub1978]

Wwit 3 funnels? why?


If it is for LACONIA itself then ok. But as we can see from U-boat.net the liners of 10000-15000 had a similar design and in time from this can jump up others.

For the moment I would say that the freeboard needs some lowering???

[iambecomelife]

That is by far the best modded liner (and one of the best modded ships) released so far. Well done.

I agree that the funnel rake should be reduced a little bit but everything else looks very nice.

[VonDos]

Thanks, mates!

This is first sea trial:

There are some errors (flag, bow lifeboats, wakes)

What is funnel's correct angle for you?

[Laphroaig75]

Looking very nice. The bridge (is that correct in english ?) might be smaller as the picture of Laconia shows. Looks very massive in your design not as gracile as the original. But anyhow, good work !:up:

[Task Force]

Veary good VonDos.:D

[geosub1978]

Have you seen this?

That hull looks almost identical to the Huge European Oceanliner in SH4.;)

[3DTexas]

She looks great, VonDos! :up:

Yes, (18000ton) in 1917 was sunk by U.50 off Fastnet

[VonDos]

Hi everyone!
I've make little adjustements related with model, i've armed it and i've tested.
After some CTD, now work fine, but zone file should be totally reworked (for solve problems i've rebuilded the ship on NPPL_ standard sh3 liner.

http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/4392/rowir1.jpg

Hull zone is ok, but deck guns's shoots can't damage the decks (pass through!)

The problem is this: i don't know how to rework a zon file well °_°
Someone can help?
(Help mi with advices or do the zon file.. all helps are good, let's finish this unit)
Thanks and regards,
VonDos

[linerkiller]

wow...now it seems perfect!:yep: :yep: :yep:

[VonDos]

Thanks, LinerKiller!
I've placed a "official poster" in first post, here you can see weapons placed.
Remain unsolved ZONE problem °_° and i've found ANOTHER STRANE THING: when i use LACONIA and TITANIC togheter (titanic only, this is trange), i've a CTD with error in sim.act file. What ist this??
SOS!

[OuNiS]

VonDos, she's beautiful!

[VonDos]

Thanks ^_^
A precisation: whe i try to use Titanic and Laconia togheter, the CTD says that error is in

SH3SIM.ACT

i've recloned, renamed but nothing :damn: :damn: :damn:
Note that Titanic isn't a parent unit.

[denis_469]

You need renumbered all identificators in you new ship. So what or whats identificators are identical and made CTD.

Or may be you computer not have enough videomemory. And you need new install SH3 and place you ships in it installs. I have sich problems many times when I modding my game.

That's what I thought. Try cloning the ship again, and then check the text of the mission cfg document to see if you have the correct identifier for the ship.

Hurry up and release her! I want to stalk her, torpedo her, and skin her ASAP!:arrgh!:

[coronas]

Bellisima! :up:
Armed with 6 inch guns she would looks fantastic as Auxiliary Cruiser!
I wish CTD problems can be resolved soon.

[VonDos]

Hi!
I've totally rebuilded her, using RMS Titanic as base.
Now, let's test!

[VonDos]

No, she doesn't work :damn::damn::damn::damn:
Return to precedent model.

[Jimbuna]

What appears to be the problem VD :hmm:

[VonDos]

Hi, Jim ^_^
Strange, i've removed Laconia from my installation, and tryed a mission with other ships
instead; ctd with sh3sim.act O_O so... she wasn't Laconia?
Maybe the mission is bugged, or my SH3 installation has gone by herself >_<

Strange...sounds like your installation is screwed up :hmm:

[VonDos]

Mmm campaigns and others single missions works fine.
Museum work (some ctd sometimes, but as always..)
OK, the test mission was bugged, and Laconia also, maybe.
Rebuilding her another time >_<

EDIT now she's working in first test... let's hope ^_^

Khow many units in you game where you Laconia testing? May be you need made new installs? What you write remeber me my problems with not enough videomemory (after insert new ships CTD). If insert in new install - all work excellent.

[VonDos]

Finally, this was the Bug:

my RMS Titanic was corrupted, so it cause CTD in mission, and when i've re-builded Laconia on it, the bug has been "copyed and pasted on it".
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I'm soo noob XD

Btw new laconia builded on BrAuxCruiser work fine; i'll continue on this!

EDIT
After others test, with a re-downloaded Titanic, they work fine also togheter.
Stupid! I'm stupid!

[Jimbuna]

Pleased to hear it....crack on http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

[VonDos]

Hi everyone!
During testing, read Coronas gave me an idea: this unit is based on Auxiliary Cruiser for nodes ecc...
I've renamed al nodes M0 to S0, ok
Now, i can use all BrAuxCruiser weapons on Laconia, afetr all she was an armed transport, wasn't she?

;)

What do you think about this weapons config?
Too armed? Not enought? Correct?

This ship si a "103" type, but can be used also like a "13"?

[mr chris]

Fantastic work as normal VD:up:
Really looking forward to getting back to port and adding a few ships that have been realesed in my time away i hope that this is ready to go to sea then as well.

[Madox58]

Nice to see you mr chris!!

If VonDos needs help?
I'll make sure this is ready for you!!

Yes welcome back Mr Chris, you have to admit, this game is just too awesome, just can't stay away!:yep:
All we need now is a return of Venatore & JCWolf!:D

[VonDos]

Ship is ok, for me °_°
Beta test opens!!
If you want to test this ship, just say on this thread ^_^
I need a couple of bt, plus are better :up:

[mr chris]

Hey VD id love you help test this beauty, If you still need testers.

[Reece]

Count me in VonDos!:yep:

[nikbear]

Welcome back mr chris,hope everything is going fine:up:

[geosub1978]

Just one question:

If it is moded as an auxiliary cruiser, is it supposed to have so many liferafts as probably she wouldn't carry passengers? Or maybe these ships where used as troop transports as well:down: :down: ??

[VonDos]

@geosub
Interesting question; answer with wikipedia ^_^

During the period June-August 1941 Laconia returned to St. John (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_John,_New_Brunswick), New Brunswick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Brunswick) and was refitted, then returned to Liverpool to be used as a troop transport for the rest of the war. On September 12 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_12), 1941 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1941), she arrived at Bidston Dock, Birkenhead and was taken over by Cammell Laird and Company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cammell_Laird_and_Company) to be converted. By early 1942 the work was complete, and for the next six months she made trooping voyages to the Middle East. On one such voyage the ship was used to carry POWs, mainly Italian. She traveled to Cape Town (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Town) and then set a course for Freetown, following a zigzag course and undertaking evasive steering during the night.
[...]
Captain Sharp ordered the ship abandoned and the women, children and injured taken into the lifeboats first. Some of the 32 lifeboats had been destroyed by the explosions and some surviving Italian prisoners tried to rush those that remained.
[...]
When the commanding officer of U-156 realized civilians and POW were on board, he surfaced to rescue survivors

source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Laconia_(1921)

So yes, she tranport troops, pows and civilian (with woman and children).

I read she was converted in 1941; i've added weapons from 39, maybe i must change this, for used big guns °_°

I've sent a pm to betatester, Reece and Mr Chris.

[Reece]

Ok, some test results, the only 2 things I could find were the props:
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h244/Reecehk/LaconiaTests2.jpg
And the reflections seem too bright, they are whiter than the actual ship:
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h244/Reecehk/LaconiaTests1.jpg
Other than that the Ship looks great, even when sinking:yep:
Looking good VonDos.:up:

[VonDos]

Thanks, Reece ^^
Props bug is related to node coordinates; easy to solve; this is a mine forgotten thing.
Reflection error is really strange, what can be? Textures are the same for bot original and reflected ship. There is something that i don't know:hmm: :hmm:

[Madox58]

VonDos,

There may be a misplacement of some of the reflection objects.
Send a link by PM and I can look at it.
I can also check the Zones at the same time.

Regards

[Task Force]

Ive been waiting for this ship more than any other so far.:D Got any room for a beta tester to make sure it will work With Thompsens envionment mod.:D

[iambecomelife]

I'd like to beta test too.

[VonDos]

@ mr Chris, Reece, Iambecomelife, Privateer, Task Force

BetaTesters, check your PM ^_^

Zones file, different skins, advices and every improvements are welcome!

[mr chris]

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa286/MrChris99/168-1.jpg

Prop problem sloved.
Is the anyone who could knock up a short misson with the ship in so i can test sinking her. I would do it myself but have not got a clue how to do it.

[Madox58]

VonDos,

Adjust the X and Y position of reflect_NAXC to 0
then set the minvisdim and maxvisdim to .02 and .2

Reflections fixed!
:up:

[VonDos]

privateer
<EDIT i wasn't able to find it, now yes, thanks privateer for indications>
done, ok, this is great! Thanks!

mr chris
have you found a single mission? if not just ask me, i'll send one ^^

[Task Force]

Just tested it in Museam, Worked Flawlessly.;)

Havent done a test on sinking it.:)

[Madox58]

The WaterReflection controller after the reflect_NAXC

The work on the Zones is started also.

[Task Force]

The WaterReflection controller after the reflect_NAXC

could you re word that so retart here can understand it.:doh:

[VonDos]

Got it, very good ^_^

[Madox58]

The WaterReflection controller after the reflect_NAXC

could you re word that so retart here can understand it.:doh:

:rotfl:

OK,

In the dat is a 3D object named reflect_NAXC.
It's what the engine uses to produce the reflection.
The WaterReflection controller assigned to that object
controls the reflection.

That help?
:lol:

[Task Force]

Yes it did.:doh:

[Madox58]

well,
I hope it helped you some anyway.
As of 10 minutes ago I lost EVERYTHING on my Dev system!!
:nope:
It will most likely take days to recover things.
:dead:

[Task Force]

Not good, Not good at all.:shifty:

[Madox58]

Nope.
Not good.
Over 6 months of Development in many areas I can't access yet!!

Just think... your computer could have conked out.:yep:

[Madox58]

Actually, I was backing up stuff and installing some new software.
The new software got me.
:nope:
I get the BSOD on startup no matter what I try.
:damn:

I have several boot DVD's to go through yet.
All I need is access to the HD to copy files.
Then I'll reformat.
Till then?
MANY projects are on hold!!

The deck disappearing does not happen with the Zone file
I'm working on.

It's the same problem that the Titanic had.

[Task Force]

So its easly fixable.:arrgh!:

[Madox58]

Yep.
The Cabina is zoned as a Command Room.
That is a Critical Zone.
It needs to be changed.
Also, the cosh needs to be assigned as a child of the Cabina, not the main hull.
;)

I'm just a beta tester, what do I know!:88):lol:

[Task Force]

I'm just a beta tester, what do I know!:88):lol:
About as much as I do.:doh:

But look how much you are learning today!!

assigned to Cabinas that need the cosh attached.
Even if the Zones are wrong!!

I belive i can fly, say the funnel °_° horrorific vision, this remember me Titanic development; all because the hull file was enough big for contain hull and decks togheter.

Privateer How is your development system now?

[Madox58]

Dev system is still a no go.
I'll try installing needed tools to this backup system.
But it will not run SH3.
If need be, I can correct the zone some what by hex editing.
Until then,
change the parent of the cosh to the cabina.
that way it will no longer float if the cabina is destroyed.

[mr chris]

The latest version works for me.
Well i have only sunk her just the once 2 torps one in the bow followed by one in the stern.
After the second torp hit she blew up in a massive explosion and sunk slightly by the stern with plenty of secondary explosions. The reason behind all the secondary explosions and there size is most likely because i have got GWX enhanced effects enabled

Will check her out again with various other sinking scenarios and report back what i find.

Here as some screens of the above sinking.

[VonDos]

A precisation related with horizontal gravity center coordinates: she always sink by stern? Also if torpedoes hit her on the bow? :hmm: :hmm:

[mr chris]

This time 2 shots into the Bow of her.
She managed to keep up her her original speed. But only for 6 minutes till her back end and screws rose out of the water. 3 minutes later she was at the bottom of the Atlantic.

@ Mr Chris, try 4 torpedoes, thats when the poor old girl blew her top!!:lol:

Will try that now.:up:

[mr chris]

Well just tried the 4 torpedo salvo and she sank like a stone on a even keel in under 2 minutes.
The was no part of the ship that went missing while this happened iam at a loss as to why the upper ship disapers as Recce showed before. But it does not dispear in my game.

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa286/MrChris99/24-1.jpg



The only other i can bring up about the ship so far from my testing is that the ship in the recon manual looks a little different to the ship in game. Look at the areas inside the red circles. Too me they look different but i might be wrong.

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa286/MrChris99/20-1.jpg

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa286/MrChris99/21-1.jpg

[Madox58]

If the ship takes a good hit slightly behind the forward bridge,
it may destroy the Command Room zone.
That's when the whole deck will vanish.

I'm installing a second copy of XP now so I should be able to grab all my data
files soon.

I have a slightly corrected Zone file
that fixes this problem.

[mr chris]

Hey privateer could you point out to me where the Command room is on the ship so i can test this area out on my install.

[Madox58]

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n12/privateer_2006/21-1.jpg

[mr chris]

Thanks matey will try that out now. I hope my shooting is good.:arrgh!:

[mr chris]

Right have just hit the ship 3 times in a row with 4 torpedoes in the command room area. But loss of any part of the ship. This is very perplexing:shifty:

[Reece]

Are you using beta 2 Mr Chris, the first beta I didn't have this problem, but then again I may not have hit that particular spot either!:D:-?

[Madox58]

You could edit the eqp file to remove all weapons then deck gun it.
That will show different areas and how damages affect them.

It's gonna be awhile before my main system is restored.
:nope:

[Jimbuna]

Hey come on guys....we got the earlier Titanic problems sorted out a lot quicker than this. :p

@Mr Chris
The problem is related with masts positions?
Is easy to fix, just a change of coordinates ^_^

[VonDos]

Collapsing bridge bug has been corrected by privateer ^_^
Thanks!

[mr chris]

Just tested her out quite a few times. Even tryed her out in 39 with out her guns and sunk her with the deck gun.
All the old problems are fixed, i will vouch for that and The were no new problems that i could see.

All fixed that I can see except the reflections that still has the same problem!:yep::oops:

The reflection is whiter/brighter than the ship.:oops:It looks for me like partially missing textures. Maybe that's the reason?

[VonDos]

@SquareSteelBar

All textures should be in the right place, reflextions use same model of ship, and same UVmap textures

[iambecomelife]

@ vondos - thanks for the new version - will test. :arrgh!:

[Madox58]

I'll look at it again when I get SH3 re-installed.
I crashed my system while working on it so it may need a few
more adjustments.
In the meantime?
Here's something related to VonDos's work.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n12/privateer_2006/100_0762.jpg

Realjambo over at the Ubi Forum had this paper.
I asked for some detailed photos or scans and you know what he did?
He mailed the paper to me!!
:huh:

This is a piece of history, yes! :rock: :rock:

Beta test are on theyr way now ^^
Please be patient :up:

[VonDos]

A call for all beta testers ^_^
excepted the brighter reflections problem, have you found something?
Or all is ok?

[mr chris]

Here is a shot from the last beta you sent me Von Dos.
I dont think the reflection problem is very bad at all.
Could it look different if you were using a enviroment mod?
As i have OLC Ubermod installed.

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa286/MrChris99/25-1.jpg

[VonDos]

\\Could it look different if you were using a enviroment mod?

If the mod work also on grapich effects, yes, i think it's possible ^^

[mr chris]

When i get back from my latest career patrol. I will try it with out OLC Ubermod to see if that is the difference.:up:

[Reece]

Interesting Mr Chris, though this is the only ship that has this reflection problem, strange!:yep:

Aye Recce it has me foxed as well.:shifty: Lets hope we find the problem soon.:D

[Madox58]

I've nearly got my system back to normal.
And I still have some adjustments to position of reflection objects and settings
to look at.

Also some finish up work on the zone file.

But it will have to wait till after,
(maybe during, ;) )
'The Raid on Texas'.
