Sailors with no life jacket version 0.1

[stljeffbb1]

Hi Everybody......

OK, I've made a sailor without a life jacket......

I have only worked in Wings 3D....no texture fixes yet. Also, there are a couple of edges that will need fixing.....

I put it here now so that others may work with it and perhaps make it better! :up:

EDIT:(Will put back link when working better)

Please leave feedback so I can make it better...I will also work with the UV mapping (haven't done this yet either)

OK, well, I tried to import this obj into the garda spot, but it is causing a CTD......

I'm not really sure why to be honest, but I can't even get into the menu screen for some reason......I'm going to pull the zip file for now.....let me work on this some more! :(

Do you have pics?

[stljeffbb1]

Hi martes86.....sure, I can show what I've done so far....

These are from sergbuto's AI U-Boats 2.0, and it is _P_20mmGB_CT7_.obj from the Turm_7c_5_hd.dat file:

He used to have a lifejacket bulge, and now he doesn't !

One of the trickiest things is coming in from behind to edit the particular points and lines....it definately needs work....not only that, but when trying to UV map, Wings 3D informs me that it is a closed object and cannot be mapped.....

-Jeff

P.S. To the Avon Lady........ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH....Get it off me...GET IT OFF OF ME!!!!!!!!! I really wonder, did they actually wear stuff like that in World War II? I suppose it is like hunting in America....everyone wears bright orange to avoid being shot....it still doesn't work! :88)

[martes86]

Looks quite well. :up:

[stljeffbb1]

Thanks martes86.......you may notice some strange concave areas.....I'm not exactly sure why they are there, but they need to be removed! ;)

-Jeff

P.S. Please, get the medic bonnet OFF! :rotfl:

Dang,

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< LOOK <<<<<<<<<<<<<

Now look what you've done!

Now I'm also wearing that silly bonnet as well.......Arrrrrrrghhhh :damn:

[stljeffbb1]

OK, now I'm quite a bit confused......

I re-imported my no-life-jacket dude into the Turm7c.DAT, installed serg's AI 2.0 boats into my modding copy of SH3, then loaded the game and viewed four crewmen in the coning tower, however, they were not modded AT ALL! All of them still had the big puffy life jackets....

I re-exported the figures and indeed, my modded sailor did export and still looked the same.....

I'm not sure what is causing this, except I can offer an observation and a suggestion:

1) The texture of the sailor that shows up in Wings 3D is the submarine hull .TGA...looks kind of cool!

2) I wonder if there is another place where these life-jacketed sailors are in the game, and if they are being borrowed from that place....actually, these guys look like flak gunners....maybe I should look there.....

Still, I think that it is quite weird that I was able to import my no-life-jacket sailor and it did not show up at all! I had to change the DAT file using hex editor to make up for the fact Windows does not read < or > in files, however, it did take it, and the chunks are showing up with the edit....

:hmm:

Heh heh

Now I'm also wearing that silly bonnet as well.......Arrrrrrrghhhh

It's spreading! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

BTW, Charlie901, I think you were the one who asked for more Italian ships....I agree, and once I learn how to use Wings 3D and master the art of importing, I will look into Italian ships....would be cool to model the BBs.....until then, I still need to work on the Brasilian BB Sao Paulo as a test case..... :up:

-Jeff

[stljeffbb1]

OK, I've tried a bunch of different things, and I'm still stuck.....

I've changed the name of <P_20mmGB_CT4> to _nolifejacket_, and as a matter of fact, I changed CT3, CT2, and CT1 to nolifejacket, however, the lifejacketed sailors still show up....

It must be grabbing them from somewhere.....

Any comments would be appreciated...sergbuto? :oops:

Thanks,

Jeff

Sounds Grreat! :up:

I've noticed that the Ops Mod includes Scripted Italian Battlefleets in the Med but unfortunately has the German Tirpitz and Hipper Heavy Cruiser, to replace the missing Italian BB's and CL's. :down:

In doing my reasearch in the Naval war in the Med I'm shocked at how many Ship to Ship Naval Battles actually took place.

:|\ That bonnet is like garlic if everyone has one then it is cool.

:cool: I like the bonnet :doh:
