[WIP]Recognition Manual Pictures for OM v700

[Te Kaha]

Noticed there are some pictures wrong in Ops Monsun v700's recognition manual. So I decided I'll do some more of them.

Currently I'm working on British ships, namely

.) Repulse BC (OM700 displays US BB)
.) Revenge BB (OM700 displays KGV)
.) Fiji CL (missing one turret. Fiji CL's were built in 2 groups, one with 4 triple turrets, one with 3 triples. But all pictures I've seen yet, show 2 turrets in front of bridge)

If anyone knows of any other ships which use a incorrect picture in the manual, please tell me here.

First I'm doing warships' incorrect pictures. Then I plan to replace pictures which don't fit the default standard (i.e. Hood, Warspite, etc).

Cool. Much needed work. Are the files with alpha channels available for download?

[Te Kaha]

All pictures are with alpha channel. I'm currently working on the Warspite(Queen Elizabeth) and the 4 passenger liners, once they're done the whole lot will be packed jsgme-ready and offered for d/l.

RN destroyers and smaller vessels will take longer, so will be a separate package.

Todays work;

Recognition Manual Pictures for OpsMonsun v700, Royal Navy Part I
================================================== ===============
All pictures are made from in-game screenshots, west of Spain, 1st May 40 (or 42), 12:00, stationary
ships heading 90°, wind zero, weather all-clear no clouds, at 1440x900 resolution, GeForce 8600M GS g/c
on a HP laptop.
What's where is self-explanatory, the passenger liners/rare troop transports are;
- NLUS_ is Lusitania
- NPPB_ is Empress of Britain
- NPPE_ is Queen Elizabeth
- NPPQ_ is Queen Mary
Just install with JSGME, can be done at any time.
Known issue;
.) In the museum, the cables look whitish, in other words, like crap.
-------------------------------------------------------------
SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ISSUES AFTER INSTALLING;
.) Museum shuts down just before first ship (Iowa) pops up
.) Recognition Manual cover is suddenly all-white
.) Any graphic(section) is suddenly all-white, like crewscreen, torpedoscreen
Then go into your My Documents/SH4/data/cfg folder (or similar, depends whether you got multiple installs) and
delete/remove the file "progress.cfg". This file seems to contain some checksums, and if it doesn't match,
SH4 shuts down. No worries, SH4 generates a new progress.cfg after restart. Works for me all the time, ongoing careers
work as before.
However, use at your own risk!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Permission is given to do whatever you want with this files, use them, curse them, destroy them, include them
in mods, improve them or color them all-pink, claim them as yours - I don't care. when I release stuff for download
I more or less kiss the files goodbye.

Great. Thank you for your work.

Can you do the same thing for all the vessels imported to SH4 by Vaa? I know that you you have already done sils for Kirov and Molotov cruisers and Russian merchants but the rest of the ships imported by him are still missing the sils.

[cgjimeneza]

have been really busy with Real Life...

must go back to sub driving soon!!!

gracias for your work, Sir

[Te Kaha]

Can you do the same thing for all the vessels imported to SH4 by Vaa?

Which vessels, do you mean the 3 old battleships of the Russian Navy?



gracias for your work, Sir


My pleasure.

[sergbuto]

Which vessels, do you mean the 3 old battleships of the Russian Navy?
Yes and also DD Type7y, DD Type36A, patrol boat S26, German liner Steuben.

[DarkFish]

and of course the only time of my live I'll ever run into a Warspite BB escorting 4 troop transports is a day before your great rec manual pictures are released:damn: Now I had to ID using the old crappy pictures.
Sank the warspite anyway.

[Te Kaha]

Yes and also DD Type7y, DD Type36A, patrol boat S26, German liner Steuben.

I haven't got the 3 BB's installed, but downloaded them a while ago. Will have a look at the other ones, but can't say now if, and when they will eventually be done.
