Hello.
This is my first post.
Please, find some printscreens from last testing of French superdestroyer 'Vauquelin' class.

Eliminating of AS TF near Brest...
https://fotki.yandex.ru/next/users/kv-vv66/album/107245/view/617829http://

The destroyer has equipped by following new weapons:
138mm guns
37 mm AA
13,2 mm Hotchkiss CAD
DC racks for new 250 kg French DC
DC throwers for new 130 kg Frensh DC. Both DC also specified.

Hopefully, during next two weeks this mod (including AS aviso 'Arras' and AS chaser CH-1 also) should be loaded as freeware.

Regards.

Hello Texelbo,

that is good news. I followed you old posts at sukhoi forum and was still hoping that the Vauquelin will be released one day.
I really like your models of "Arras" and Ch-1 and I am sure people here at Subsim will highly appreciate them, too :salute:

Cheers -- the Frog

Hello once more, Gentlemen.

Searching and curing of bugs is very interesting, but never-ending matter. And it was stopped today by power of will, at last.
I would like to offer this 'French Line 03' package, including:
- Subchaser CH-1 (cured)
- ASW Aviso 'Arras' (cured)
- Superdestroyer 'Vauquelin'.

Accordingly, should be better to remove installed CH-1 and 'Arras' before the new installation. New package is JSGME ready.

Please, find this package at http://dfiles.ru/files/bjm5d6ses?redirect (this is new 5+1 mode from 2016) (http://dfiles.ru/files/le7u2pq0a)
(push UK flag at bottom of page for English version).

Enjoy!

Many thanks, texelbo !! Great models !! :woot:

[JapLance]

The Vauquelin looks really beautiful. Great job! :up:

Well, and I am wondering about the little response to Texelbo's wonderful contribution.

Very nice work!! :sunny:

Salut....Texelbo!
Downloaded and installed.....Yes indeed it looks very nice!:up:
It is a very good work!
Thank you for you art and for sharing!

[texelbo]

Dear all!
Thank you for warm words.

Meantime, news from shipyard are coming
1548
At the moment new details of model are ready at 80%, except new 138mm gun Mle 1929 and 37mm AA twin mounts.
In realistic consideration, this new superdstroyer should be ready for loading at the end of September.

:o Another beautiful ship in preparation ? The french navy is expanding gradually, this is good news ! :up:

Best regards from France !

[the_frog]

:hmmm:

Texelbo, you are aware there is already a model of the destroyers of the Le Fantasque class (which included L'Audacieux)?
The model includes the 138 mm MLE 1929 and the twin 37 mm.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2285053&postcount=1

Seems we will have soon 2 models of the same class of ships ...

Which of the both will be the best ? :DL

Texelbo, if you abandon your project on L'Audacieux, you may do even a better model for the french navy : a french cruiser !! :arrgh!:

[the_frog]

@Texelbo,

the intention of my comment was not to make you give up the project. Do what you like.
There are no many people left doing new models for SH3. So, to me making two models of the same ship it is a lost opportunity to make another one.
All new parts you did for L'Audacieux could be used to create Mogador and Volta. No waste of work and energy plus another great model :yeah:

Well, that's my opinion.



@Fahnenbohn,

consider to mark L'Adroit and Bourrasque as done. JCK410 did a model several years ago; all big mods have that model included.

Someone once started a model of Tourville and I contributed the turrets. However, the main model never grew beyond the mesh of the plain hull.

[texelbo]

So, gentlemen, I'm considerd situation during weekend and decided:
- finish 'Le Fantasque' asap
- check my next targets thorough community:
1. Aviso 'Bouganville' class.
2. DE 'Melpomene' class
3. DD 'Hardi' class.
Hopefully, those ships are small enough to be done in reasonable timeframe.

The Fantasque-L'Audacieux is almost ready and based on common files from the Library.

Also, some French Navy planes are under consideration.

In additional, I'm created a lot of French ports all around the world - in Africa, Madagaskar, TerNew, West-India, Levant... If somebody intersting it them - I'm ready to share.

Regards

[Borgneface]

Salute! Texelbo!
Nice program and your ships are very nice...Great work!:up:
Just one little question, if I may, Often when you want to add a ship to your game, you need to add info in the English name, or French. name etc... file. I did not see any read-me with the details for that purpose. Or Am I wrong?
Merci and good luck with your work.:)

[Missing Name]

These are very pretty indeed!

Just asking - what exactly was added in the library files? (Shells.zon, .sim, .dsd etc.) I'm trying to trim out all the old stuff and leave it with just databases with new French data only. The goal would be to have something like Shells_FR.zon, DepthCharges_FR.sim, etc.

Also, does each new mod release have the same files, or do the newer mods have updated versions?

[Fahnenbohn]

Hello Texelbo,

Some news for your "Le Fantasque" destroyer :

- the 2nd gun is not working
- the left clock is inverted

http://nsm08.casimages.com/img/2015/11/29//15112901245818069013787051.png (http://www.casimages.com/img.php?i=15112901245818069013787051.png) http://nsm08.casimages.com/img/2015/11/29//15112901245918069013787052.png (http://www.casimages.com/img.php?i=15112901245918069013787052.png)

Hope you'll be able to fix these problems.

Best regards,

Another problem when the Fantasque destroyer cuts herself in 2 parts : the textures are changed, and the ship doesn't sink.

One more very nice model ! You are very talented Texelbo !

You know, I'm thinking about creating a complete alternative WWII history (with a totally new campaign), in which the French become the Germans' ally, in order to neutralize England, and then the USSR. The new alliance eventually beats the British fleet and manages to dominate the oceans. Americans are then repulsed in Atlantic and they stop the war. Churchill is arrested and tried for crime against peace.

Your ships are perfect for this new history, Texelbo ! I really would like to sea one day a french cruiser in game, as L'Algérie class. And a french submarine would be also really cool !!

khm, Perfide Albion...
Many years ago I was inspired same idea - cured Mers-el-Kebir, Syria campaign of 1941, Madagaskar and Djibouti, Torch landing... And even succeed issuing two-parts article about Syria Campaign in Soviet aviation magazine.
Then, after releasing of SH3, I tried to create the my first model - french submarine 'Iris'. It was a great effort, but, finaly happened nothing due impossibility to arrange the turnable torpedo launcher. On my opinion - this is key feature of french submarines. So, I suspended this model for the time beigh.

Fahnenbohn, Du darfst dir meiner Geringschätzung vollkommen gewiss sein.


Three simple requests:

In case you used the fog 3D model I helped you with, remove it from your environment mod

Never again post a picture of the Le Fantasque/Le Malin or any other model I did

Never again try to send me a private message


That's it.

Hi, FB!

Many modders, especially many with German decent, usually never explain or talk among adults.
They either ignore completely or bash without trying.

Out of a sudden (without any response to the mails you had sent them) they attack you publicly in the forum
And THEN they come up saying "Why haven't you sent me an eMail?" :doh:

Many of them want to be treated like gods. I just had a good conversation about this with Hansolo and he agreed.

Just my two cents of own experience, so better expect nothing.

:salute:

I have spoken to the-frog privately and can assure you this matter has nothing to do with modding or the nationality of any individual or anyone wishing to be treated like a god.

This matter is one of a private nature between two individuals and not for public notification....in fact, I'm at a loss as to why you feel the need to get involved.

[rowi58]

Hi, FB!
...
Just my two cents of own experience, so better expect nothing.

:salute:

Why only two cents??? And why did you it in the same way you' have criticised??? That's very difficult to understand. And if someone dont want to talk with you - it is his own decision and no one has to criticese this individual decision.

From my point of view a really sad thing is that you are not allowed to IGNORE some of those you don't want to "talk" to, because they are protected as "moderators" :nope:

[the_frog]

Hey folks,


Fahnenbohn expressed some political viewpoints I strictly dislike.

He responded in a rude and childish manner to a person's comments on that.

He did that in the public.


I expressed my dislike in the public, too.

I told him that I think low of him.

I did it in German to make my comment fit the statements he made before.


Fahnenbohn has the right to express his opinion freely


Me too.

[Jimbuna]

We move on .....please.

[texelbo]

OK, kamaraden, good news are coming.
At this week I'll release new mod 5 (ships) + 1 (plane).
I'm totaly redesigned collission and damage models on all ships - old and new, cured some visual bugs, which were kindly found by Fahnenbohn some time ago.
New weapons were added also - two types pf light french bombs (per 75 kg) and single gun DARN deck mounting for 'indoor' installation on "Bougainville'.

Note new 'action' picture from testing.

Hello there ! :Kaleun_Salute:

I considering two options - Levasser PL.101 or Loire-Nieuport N.411. Both are lookong very specific, both has same bomb load, but LN.411 was more deadly.

Incredible airplane model ! :Kaleun_Applaud: Never seen such a detailed airplane in SH3, i can't wait to see it fly in the sky !

:Kaleun_Salivating:

By the way, any news about the aircraft career ? :06: Oh, one question ! Do you consider to add some airplanes on the bridge of the ship ? This would be nice I think ! :yep: You will just have to add a fixed propeller on the nose of the airplane and delete the pilots.

Hello.
At the flying deck it should be with wings in storage position, I guess. So, at the moment this model has implemented in game, but still needs some additional efforts with collision model.

That is a very nice and detailed model of the Bearn ! Maybe the propellers could be a bit more detailed ! :hmmm:

Keep up the job! :up:

Still a ot of bugs - at the moment list of 18 items for curing, including this strange blue color of mast...
At the moment I'm suspended those four beuteful ancors with chains - due to here is 20000 polygons - 1/5 of all model. We'll see.

Wonderful, most certainly one of the best 3D models I've seen so far, along with some artworks from the good Gerome at the ubi forum.

You need to ask this great man (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=330901). He knows how to duplicate 3D objects on any model without increasing the polygon count. :yeah:

[the_frog]

Hi Texelbo,

20 000 polygons for chains and anchors is really a lot. Anchors, chains and related fittings of the model I am working on have in total 10 000 polygons (and I'll keep them :D ).

The trick Alex ist refering to is to seperate the model into smaller parts, for example in case of two sets of anchors with chains you split those two. Then you create one 3D-related chunk in the *.dat file, with all materials plus the 3D model of that single set of anchor and chains. Next, you create a second 3D-related chunk, with all materials BUT you do not attach a 3D model but use the ID of the first model: enter it at Linked 3D model where it reads Model ID (just above the box of the materials).
For reference, see privateer's/jeff-groves' Seaforts (GWX) or any of my recent models (opitcal instruments are repeated in that way).

Stupid thing, however, the trick does not work easily with anchors and chains because of being not identical but mirrored ... but you may split the model into submodels of the anchors plus parts of the chains and then recreate the entire arrangement in S3D with repeated instances of these submodels. Quite some work but it will save plenty of polygons. I think, it is worth the try !!

Cheers

Thanks for your help at explaining the whole process, Mr der_Frosch. ;)

By the way...

Is it ? :hmmm:
I mean, anchors are the same object on both sides, the only thing one needs to do to make it look right on both sides is duplicating the object and rotating it the proper way, as far as I know...


edit

(Yet the shadow map would not look good on one side, so the object would have to be mirrored indeed. :hmmm:)

Hi Alex,
in the past I faced exactly the same problem as you: objects that could simply be cloned the way the_frog explained, if it wasnt for their Ambient Occlusion map which would require the flipping of the object for looking good. Unfortunately there is no way that I am aware of, of flipping or even scaling the meshes bound to any individual node.
For small objects as anchors and chains, you could consider giving up the AO channel though :03:

By the way: your models look awesome :up:

[the_frog]

Alex, gap,

I was not refering to problems with shaddow/AO maps. Thetricky part are are not due to the anchors but the chains:

https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/f362/uaku8u0s6ie5sss6g.jpg

The opposing sets of chains can be re-created by splitting them into smaller pieces but it is possible to use a single, repeated model. At least I was not able to create a mirrored instance of a 3D model in S3D. If possible, I would be very happy someone could explain the preocedure.

[texelbo]

https://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/196258/89840500.1/0_9f17d_f4001fd8_orig

But without ancors and chain for while...

[gap]

I was not refering to problems with shaddow/AO maps. Thetricky part are are not due to the anchors but the chains:

I love your attention to details guys. Yet, I would spare the extra polygons of 3D chains (or the time required for splitting each chain in smaller pieces to be repeated n times over the model), for more important stuff.

This is my rendition of a Mk 6 depth charge with its throwing harbor, by the way (no AO mapped yet):

http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/taneshikimano/Screenshot%202016-11-14%2012.03.33.png

Most details, including bolts, detonator, filling holes, etc, are 3D, but the chain was created by mapping a texture with opacity mask set appropriately, on top of two band shaped, almost flat, objects, overlayed one on top of the other and with back faces set as visible so to give the impression of a three dimensional chain.

http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/taneshikimano/Screenshot%202016-11-14%2013.30.29.jpg

The final resut is obviously far from perfet, but at a distance and under most angles discovering the trick would require a skilled eye.

I think that chains in stock SH5 models were done using a similar method, and in game they look fairly good. :salute:

Well done texelbo. The French Navy has always been one of the major elements missing from SH games, and despite the effort put by many skilled model builders in expanding main belligerents' navies, French warships and aircraft were rarely considered.
Thank you for filling the gap with your amazing models! :yeah:

[Kendras]

So, I tested the plane during attack against german merchants.

http://i.imgur.com/g1Gu06q.png

First problem : the machine-gun (see on the picture) when turning. I have corrected the problem in .sim file. Now the gun can turn without bug.

Second problem, just after dropping the bombs, the aircraft disappear and the game crashes. I've added the .zon file which was missing, and tried again. The game doesn't crash anymore but the airplanes still disappear. I don't know how to solve that bug. :06:

Here are the files I've corrected : http://www.mediafire.com/file/p9p458ck5ag60uz/Fix_PL101.zip

Please have a look.

Thanks.

@Texelbo:

Very, very nice models :up:

Just on thing I noticed on Kendras picture: could it be the machine gun has no texture?

Cheers

[Stefan Thimme]

Dear Mr. Texelbo,

Let to ask You with all respects for Your admirable models if You plan to creat any French cruiser model of WWII for Silent Hunter 3? La Galissonnière-class cruiser, for example.

[Kendras]

@Texelbo:

Very, very nice models :up:

Just on thing I noticed on Kendras picture: could it be the machine gun has no texture?

Cheers

No, there is a texture, but it was bugging when the machine gun was pointing towards a target : the texture disappeared and the model was completly flat. But now, I have corrected this and it works.

[Kendras]

Second problem, just after dropping the bombs, the aircraft disappear and the game crashes. I don't know how to solve that bug.

No one can tell why this bug occures ??? :damn:

I need these planes to attack the italian fleet. :hmph:
