Converted SH5 ships

[rowi58]

Hi folks,

thanks to the great work of "privateer" - his famous "GR2-Exporter-Tool" - it is possible to export some ships from SH5 to SH3l. I've had a deep look at those ships in SH5 - sad to say that they were mostly not as correct as you want to have.


In the next days - when Yamatoforever's Server is on dutiy - you can download some of the best ships of SH5. As there are:

Light Cruiser "Emden"

http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/18662c42fc209d347d7e37a924e5545114f8e7931e18caed45 b82c5ba8d524476g.jpg

(with 8 x 150mm guns instead of 4). Or one big Battlecruiser - HMS Renown:

And an old Battleship - the USS New York (aka USS Texas).

One ship you can download at the moment is the "USS Long Island" - an escort carrier:

http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/89f60a97ac527084c8a5c91fe80d77e9b8dea6c56d58c7eb7e 5ca4e12a9d10536g.jpg

And an "alternative" Flower-Corvette - which comes closer to the real model than the "old" SH3-version:

http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/f0616a5ca9d339b4b70190665ab5592e0848f412f29ee7af12 eec2744196343f6g.jpg

Last but not least a merchant ship - a medium tanker of 3,100 GRT. Above the "waterline". this ship looks good, But don't look below:

http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/fc83d96b703f7b5ddb60a99eb3d9fc570cb971a54b23ab9741 844cd53895d87b6g.jpg

All ships are running well. I must do a "little" ReadMe and so on; so you can d/l them the next week.

Thanks folks,

i hope we will get it uploaded in the next week. As you can see, we (Plissken04, Yamatorforever, xalex99x, myself -and many others) are working on a new download-portal . similar to Plisskens04's FTP server.

That takes some time time untill it will run stable. It is a combination of the "yards" you know. You will find it in the "red banner" on the left side.

[LGN1]

Very nice work, rowi58 :up: Thanks a lot!

Are you planning to release the ships also separately for those who do not want to add all the ships? Or maybe just a list with which files from the library folder are required for which ships? I'm thinking especially about the Flower-Corvette which is a nice add-on for many mods without requiring any campaign files.

Regards, LGN1

[rowi58]

Hi LGN1,

no, there will not be a seperate download of these ships. For the "Flower Corvette" and the "NOM Ranger", you do not need any file from the folder "Library".

For all other four ships it is better to install all files from the folder "Library".

Hi privateer, hi mad,

"kovall" from the russian "Sukhoi-Forum" was faster. He converted the "HMS Ark Royal" from SH5 to SH3.

http://www.sukhoi.ru/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=128408&d=1299544454


Sad to say that there is no "ReadMe" inside. But he is using privateers "GR2-Extractor"-tool and my "CV-plans.dat/zon" i made for our friend "VonDos".

Great! Thank you very much kovall!
It needs a little skin touch-up but otherwise she looks great. This ship really deserves it's own 3d model.

Yes, kovall is pretty quick on the conversions.
I also understand his problem with doing 'readme' inclusions.
He and I have exchanged PM's and he's OK in my eyes.
:up:

[rowi58]

Hi privateer,

i agree. But a "ReadMe" will help our friends who are collecting MODs on their FTP-server to identify the modder who made this mod - and keep the section "unkown modder" very small (i mean "plissken04" for example).

Yes, exactly. Very hard time with writing (reading of the text is not a problem for me). But after I wrote something I always doubt that wrote it correctly. so I would be glad if someone would write "Read me" for me (instead of me ?)

@kovall
You really did a great job when converting this model, but ...

I'm not able to sink her!! I hit 3 times in the back at 7m depth and no results.:wah:
Further I did'nt recognize any hit textures on the ship, maybe this explains why she is not going down.

I think some little changes will fix this problem. Can anyone do this, because I'm not in a position to do.

Hmmm... It is very strange. Are You talking about Ark Royal ? I sunk it by two torpedos in original version SH3. But GWX (and others modes) uses a different Zone.cfg. I think it is only reason

[Madox58]

The zone.cfg in GWX should not cause that much difference.
Failure to show damage textures is a .val issue.

You need to list all mods installed.

[tekai]

@privateer

List of my relevant mods for units in folder 'sea':
GWX 3.0 Gold
GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V6
Extras for the Wilhelmshaven campaign v2.4c
LifeBoats&Debris_v4
WB_'s .mis file for kovall_'s HMS Ark Royal

The 2nd and 3rd mod don't change values for the Ark Royal and WB's mod uses same data for the Ark Royal as kovall.

Maybe that GWX entries are different than sh3 vanilla version and I think that Debris mod could cause a problem too.
But I see no reason for missing damage textures. What I found is that there are no '2DCompartments' entries in the NCV_Ark_Royal.cfg. Any other sea unit has these entries.
I can live with missing textures but I want to SINK her. Any ideas for this problem?

Greetz
Tom

[kovall]

I just once tried to sink Ark Royal again. After being hit by two torpedoes, the ship was a strong bank and sank 10 minutes later and texture had traces of contact with torpedoes . But I noticed strange thing... when the ship beginning to sink, the upper half of the board have a darker color than the lower and on the dark side was not "caustic"
What is the reason ? I guess need to change values in dat-file into Caustics render controller. ScaleY and OffsetY. Is it true my guess ?
Sorry for my English:) I hope you understand what I want to say :DL

[tekai]

@ kovall

Now I'm totally confused.:hmmm: After 3 times of loading my savegame to find her (I want to kill her in a campaign) I hit her with 2 torpedoes from starbord side at 4m depth and she went down 20 minutes later. And... I recognized damage textures as well as lifeboats after sinking. But why?

Suggestions:
1. First time I attacked the CV, torpedo depth was 7m under waterline, but if you look on your model submerged the Ark Royal looks more like a Destroyer than a Fleet Carrier. Draft isn't 9.65m as listed in the cfg-file, I think your model has only a draft of 4m from waterline to keel. That would explain why I could'nt see any damages first time I shot her (remember: I hit her with 3 torpedoes).
In heavy seas the Ark Royal is flying over the ocean, that means that all 3 propellers are over the waterline, looks funny, but may be a problem when you want to attack her. Another reason to change the draft of your model.

2. The first attack I started from portside with no damage on the ship, the 2nd attack I started from starboard, perhaps this has an effect on the damages, but I don't think so.

Here some pics:
1st try: http://img854.imageshack.us/i/sh3img2232011172158203.png/
2nd try, hit at 4m depth: http://img801.imageshack.us/i/sh3img233201143757687.jpg/
going down: http://img849.imageshack.us/i/sh3img23320115375640.jpg/

Nevertheless your converted model looks really great in game:up: and with a few graphical corrections it would be perfect. Please try it.

Greetz

[rowi58]

Hi all,

the models draft is about 8.5 m - in the CFG file there is a draft of 9.65 m. The best way is to fix the draft (surfaced) in the SIM file (see UnitShip - Hydro) at 8,5 m. The ship will keep that draft under all conditions.

Greetings
rowi58

[kovall]

I don not know who made new damage for Ark Royal. In my version has no such problems, and the draft of ship is wright (9,7m) The only bag that I found In dat-file I incorrect wrote value Caustic Render Controller.
Correct value ScaleY= -0,15 (instead -0,6)
This step will eliminates the problem of different hull colors at the time of the sinking ship.

[tekai]

@ kovall

I took all data for the Ark Royal from your download and as mentioned earlier WB has'nt changed anything on your model when writing his mis-file.

What I want to explain is that it's possible to hit the ship in a depth of 7m under waterline because of the settings in the cfg-file. But I think that there are no damages on the CV because at a depth of 7m the torpedoes can't find a textured area, at this depth there is no part of the ship (collision).

@ rowi58
Do I have to install a special editor to do these changes? And when, where can I find it?

Tom

[the_frog]

Hello tekai!

I just checked your pictures. What I see is the ship's lower part (red texture) fully submerged, which means it is where is has to be ...

This part, according to the 3D model (measures taken in Wings3D) is 8.5 m deep. That is the ship's original full load draught. If the model is sent to that depth in the sim file, it won't fly anymore ...

The value in the cfg file should be ammended as rowi suggested.

Your impression that the ship is not deep enough in the water results probably from the fact that the Ark Royal was rather tall, which was not favourable in terms of sea worthiness (and contributed to her loss).

I tested kovall's model; torpedo impacts were clearly visible, with torps set on impact as well as on magnetic ignition.

Changes of model file can be done using the S3Ditor
http://s3d.skwas.com/


Cheers -- the frog

[tekai]

@ the_frog

Thank you for the download link.:up: I hope I made no mistakes when editing the sim-file (never did before). I tried following settings:
unit_Ship\obj_Hydro\Surfaced\draught=8,5

Hope that it's all right and ship will be a bit deeper in water now.
Do I have to edit the cfg-file too?

Your further explanations of terms of sea worthiness of the Ark Royal helped a lot to understand the circumstances of her sinking near Gibraltar.

@ kovall
Please don't think that you have done a bad job, I love your model.:DL And I know how difficult it is to write a model.:yep: I wrote some models for GTA-SA a few years ago.
And at least, I was able to sink the Ark Royal, so everything is o.k.

Good to see Ark Royal in the game. The only thing is the terrible skin for the SH5 ships. I saw one picture with an other skin, hull and flight deck in a different style, but I don't remember who posted it in the forum :hmmm:. Anyone an idea? Maybe the creator of this skin, whoever it was, is so kind to upload it (please).

same can be done with the log file, so you see the right number in the museum, too

@ laphroaig75
guess you've see pictures of a slightly modified version of Kovall's Ark Royal somewhere in the German Ubi forum ... I did same changes to the textures and rowi58 some to the model ... but those are private editings.

@ kovall: great ship, good job!!

Hallo Frosch,
das UBI-Forum habe ich durchgeflöht - ohne Erfolg. Ich habe auch schon versucht, die Texturen zu ändern, bei den SH5-Skins habe ich aber speziell mit dem Flugdeck und den Aufbauten keine Ahnung, wo sich die jeweilige Stelle befindet, um nur dem Flugdeck oder der Brücke einen neuen Skin zu verpassen :damn:. Die Macher in Rumänien haben es sich da leider einfach gemacht, das war bei den Vorgängern um Längen besser (wie alles andere auch).
Ich wäre ja schon zufrieden, wenn ich wüsste, wie die tga ausschaut, um mir selbst einen Skin zu basteln...

Hi chrysanthos.


It is nice to hear that some user dont respect the graet work of those modders like "privater", "Kovall" and "myself"

I do not want to criticise the way you're playing SH3 - everyone can do it in an individual matter.

But i get a little bit confused about your statement of the work modders did. Perhaps - i think so - it is a mistake of translation from Greek to English.

Would be nicde if you could confirm this. Or not, or else, or wtfmb.

[rowi58]

Sorry VonDos,

if it comes a little bit strange. Your great work is allways wellcomed - absolutly. :yeah:

But i must say, that since the good old tiimes of GWX 1.0, when everyone respect the work of the modders - as Kpt Lehman and all of the entire GWX crew did - and you do it with all your work, - that 's it.

As you does it allways, i want do give credits to all the great contributers to SH3. Sometimeds we do not recognize them as they are hidden in a kind of invisibly.

I would like to add these ships to my game, but I'm also using OLC's Modified Searchlight Beams for GWX3 which contains a modified Search_Lights.dat... which would get overwritten by the one in this mod.

I really, really, really don't want to go back to the blinding, OMG MY EYES searchlights I had before getting OLC's mod. Does the Search_Lights.dat included here make any similar adjustment to the searchlight beams, or if not, is there some way to alter some of the settings using's OLC's file as a reference? I've tried comparing the two files, and I know where OLC's file differs from the unmodded GWX version... but the nodes or whatever you call 'em in this new version don't exactly match up line by line so it's not like I can just go in and find the same bits and put in OLC's values, even if that would work.

So...er... HALP!?!?! :D

The SearchLights of these converted ships are Stock-SH3 SearchLights (or modified objects of them - by gerome_73).

I don't know OLC's SearchLights MOD - but i'm sure you can use it. But don't forget to alter the "LinkName" in the EQP files (NodeName=L0x) if OLC's MOD is using different object names for his SearchLights.

So I can enable it after SH5 Ships, even though it completely overwrites your Search_Lights.dat? OLC's version of that file just alters a few of the values in the GWX version, but yours contains a bunch of completely different entries, and more of them IIRC, so I'm not sure what in your file corresponds to the entries in the other versions.

I'd have to go back and check but I think the only differences I found between the GWX file and OLC's were in one embedded image (which is the same in your file as in GWX) and in the values for all the 'BEAM' entries.

So I'm wondering if I just switch in his version of the embedded image and try to adjust all the 'BEAM' entries in your file, if that would work. :hmmm:

[rowi58]

You are right, Frau Kaleun,

there are some more objects in my SearchLights.dat. But if you are using GWX 3.0, you don't need these additional objects (some tunable directors and a small optical "Richtsäule" i've made for my CCoM and LSH3 some times ago).

Just try it - i'm sure you will get the results you want.

@MissingName;

if you only want the new "Flower class", just (regarding my MOD):
- delete all folders in "data/Sea" except "NCO_FlowerMOD"
- delete all folders in "data/Roster" except "British/Sea"
- within the folder "data/Roster/British/Sea" delete all files except "COFlowerMOD.cfg"
The other fiiles won't disturb your SH3 installation.

You are right, Frau Kaleun,

there are some more objects in my SearchLights.dat. But if you are using GWX 3.0, you don't need these additional objects (some tunable directors and a small optical "Richtsäule" i've made for my CCoM and LSH3 some times ago).

Just try it - i'm sure you will get the results you want.



So the GWX version of the file, with a few values altered by OLC, but still all the same entries and nodes and whatnot, will do fine? Awesome. :yeah:



EDIT: Okay, I don't know if I'm doing this right or not.

In the eqp files for the SH5 ships, these are the LinkNames that appear in the entries with NodeName=L0x:

LinkName=REF_big
LinkName=Optic
LinkName=REF_small
LinkName=REF_small01

When I open the OLC Searchlight's version of Search_Lights.dat in S3ditor, and use the filter thingy just to look at all the nodes in it, I find one for each of those except for Optic. I have no idea what node in the file would correspond to that, provided I'm even looking at the right stuff. :06:

*bump*

Any hints on the above question about LinkName=Optic? Inquiring minds want to know. :O:

Hi, the OLC searchlight file does not contain the "optic" item (which is a kind of a small rangefinder); the little thing has been done by Rowi58 and one can find it, e.g., in the searchlight file of LSH5. When using other searchlight library files, just replace the "optic" by "NULL" in the eqp file ...

Thanks for the info, I'm actually working on adding it to OLC's SearchLights.dat, to see how that goes. If it's a problem (or I've just done a shoddy job of it) I'll try the "NULL" edit instead. :DL

Hi WTCC,

you can download this mod from my MediaFire site (http://www.mediafire.com/download/5fs1hn5rn2o94n1/SH5-Ships_V2.7z) too. But you must have 7z (http://www.7-zip.org/download.html) to unpack this archive - or any other programm that is able to read and unpack 7z files.

How can I do it? There's one ship I want to convert from SH4.

[kibeldede]

Name the Ship. It's probably already been done.
