Adds the Shoho and the Zuiho to SH4.

Credits: Kriller2 for his skins.

Install with JSGME or manually.

Due to a graphics bug I could not enable 3D damage on the Shoho.

Hey, thanks miner. As soon as I get home these babies are going into SHIV. Keep up the good work. :up: :salute:

[lurker_hlb3]

Like to use with RSRDC

[miner1436]

You have my permission to use it with your mod.

HIJNS Shoho, first carrier to be purpose built as an aircraft carrier. served in Sino-japanes war with distinction, participated in the Indian Ocean raids, was relegated to training ship status during most of the war, sunk when?

[miner1436]

I think you are thinking of the Hosho.

[Torplexed]

Shoho will always be famous for the phrase "Scratch one flattop." She was sunk at the Coral Sea and was the first Japanese carrier lost in the Pacific War. Her sister ship, the Zuiho managed to survive until Leyte Gulf. Too bad we can't these kind of plumes and smoke in SH4.

I have downloaded several MODS and i cant find them in the game. How do u use mods?
cello

[miner1436]

First you must download a tool called JSGME, install it in your SH4 directory, a folder called mods will appear, put the mod in there and enable it via JSGME.

You blew it!!! You should have said "yes, if you can implement 3D damage." You really need a good agent.:har:

[miner1436]

That Shoho model is inacurate.

Check out this one.

Some uses Misfit Model 3D, others uses 3D Studio Max. Goes with your needs. As for the steps, I'm not very good at that but others can answer you.

The masts!!! the wings!!! (what are those for, external elevators?) I like it. Now make a deal with Maddy to fix up the 3-D damage model for you. I'm sure he'll do it for FOTRS anyway.

[miner1436]

Yes that sounds good, but I still need the permissions to release it, this new model is actually a mod for a different game, and I am not sure how to contact the author. Im still working on the 3D wheelhouse also.

[AOTD_MadMax]

Nice ship miner !

I can work out the damage-modell for this unit !
The second new modell is ready to swim ?
Is the shoho from IL2 ?

I wanne use her for the upcomming FOTRS-Upgrade, so may i got the permission to use it ?

[miner1436]

No, that ship was created by a modder for allies pacific storm, which bring up the issue of permissions, still havent got them yet. I will be looking into IL2 ships and possible conversions later today.

[Hunter]

No, that ship was created by a modder for allies pacific storm, which bring up the issue of permissions, still havent got them yet.Actually it was Pacific Storm:Allies. I've used to present this title on behalf of Lesta Studio at official and other naval forums. Free modding activities were officialy allowed in 2006 with tool pack released. Right now this project is officialy closed and abandoned by the developers. You can find team announcements at official forum - www.pacificstorm.net (http://www.pacificstorm.net)
BTW Just looked there after almost two years missed and discovered that models from SH4 are extencively moded by the community to fit PS:A.:DL

[miner1436]

Well I just looked into IL2 and the texture wont show up in my paintshop.
Anybody know of any other WWII pacific game where we could convert ships?

IF anybody is registered at this website http://www.pacificstorm.net/forum/index.php

Could they ask user : Devj if we have permission to use the Shoho in SHIV, when i try to log in for some reason it tells me I have an incorrect username and password.

[Hunter]

I'll try but could be impossible phisically since noone of then PS:A team is with Lesta now.

[miner1436]

Well, I have messaged the guy, and I know he still goes on the forums, but he has ignored my permission request (dosent seem friendly), I don't know what I should do, any advice would be appricated. It is also getting closer to the release of my ship pack, and I based the Ruyho off that Shoho model.

[miner1436]

...

[miner1436]

Bringing this up again, until somebody tries to contact the guy I mentioned earlier there WILL BE NO NEW SHOHO OR RUYHO, I have tried to contact him with no success, so its up to you guys, if you want the carriers than you can contact him, they are allready built, so its all up to him I release them. The ship pack is coming up soon by the way.

[I'm goin' down]

will this mod work with TMO?

[Barkhorn1x]

will this mod work with TMO?

There is a Shoho in the latest version of TMO and it looks very good. Don't know who did the modeling tho'.

[I'm goin' down]

I will have to go back out and sink it.:D

[Bubblehead1980]

Miner, who do we need to contact? To the other post, Which version of TMO has the Shoho in it? 1.8 BETA is latest, I saw nothing of it and Ducimus never mentioned it.

[Barkhorn1x]

That's because I was mistaken. It's not in TMO but the RSRD mod. I use both and assumed...

Anyway, the model is in RSRD and it looks very good.

Happy hunting.

That is who you must contact for permissions, I have tried, it has been a month without a reply.

[Bubblehead1980]

Okay, will contact him, thanks.I loaded up the Shoho as is and its great looking ship, good job.Blew up real nice but troop no 3d damage, still went up in a fire ball after 3 Mark 14's though.Nice job miner.

Ah RSRD, okay that figured.As mentioned I loaded it up in TMO and it looks great.Doesnt RSRD have the Shinano?

Miner, have you ever considered doing a hospital ship for Japanese and Allies? Would be fun yet aggravating to chase down a ship, dive, ready to shoot, only to raise scope when close and find its marked with a big red or green cross and can't shoot it...Really enjoy the large/passenger freighter you built (11,000 ton) You have produced some great ships, just thought I would bring it up.


Also, is there a quick way could rename the ship? I would like to rename it a so and so Maru to match up with others in TMO.

[Armistead]

Love to see a hospital ship. There's a nice one in SH3. Hope to see all these new ships by miner in the game soon.

I run RSRD. Can you explain why some will show up and some don't. I assume some install into the base game. Like the new freighter, it shows up fine even though I run RSRD...others don't.

Hope Lurker will get them all in soon...Great work miner. It brings new life to the game to have different targets to shoot at.

[miner1436]

Im thinking if I want to do a Hospital ship or not, does anyone have and photos/blueprints of any?

[Bubblehead1980]

Miner, here are some links with photos of US hospital ships:

Japanese hospital ships:

http://www.combinedfleet.com/Hikawa2_t.htm

hey, its a start, hope the links help.Hope you decide to make some hospital ships...would add to the game.One of the fun things about SH 4 is how you can waste your time tracking friendly or neutral ships, it happened in real life, so cool to see it in the game.:yeah:

[miner1436]

Didnt hospital ships have to be lighted?

[Bubblehead1980]

I believe they were supposed to but not all were, I read that Japanese skippers were rather bad about not lighting their hospital ships.Some were used to transport sick wounded as well as military supplies.

If you can't make them lighted, no big deal, would just add to the aggravation of tracking one, ready to fire and then once you look through the scope, see a nice big red cross on the side.If they are lighted, easy to tell from miles away.

[denis_469]

Didnt hospital ships have to be lighted?

All that I read in US submarine patrol reports conclude, that Japan hospital ships was light property.

[miner1436]

Ok I guess ill have a go at it this weekend.

Heres some shots of Ruyho and Oyodo

[Bubblehead1980]

very nice miner, looking forward to the hospital ships as well as the carrier and cl below.

[Bubblehead1980]

Miner, I can't get in touch with that guy either, guess the Shoho will have to be without 3d damage:damn:
