Hi,

What you think of my new drivable?

No ****, that looks damn sexy ... :rock:

[Ark]

How do we make your new drivable OUR new drivable?

:hmm:

:D

[Pirate]

Hi,

I just added the alfa model from scxiic to the graphics file 3d.
Then altered the database so the akula would use the alfa model, and corrected position of masts, antenas and wires.
Lucky thing is the bridge position is exactly the same for this alfa model :up: , so sam view is perfect.
Also you can change a bunch of other things like the object caractheristics, create new sensors for the alfa and use them.
You can also create the alfa class, and the right entity.
For all this you need the ludger's database editor.

Only thing that can not be changed is the loadout, so you will have to use the akula's loadout.
Changing this would envolve changing .dll files wich, at the moment I do not have the right knowledge.

Cheers,,,
and Happy New Year :arrgh!:

Yep also SCS would be pissed if you did do the .dlls.

Also playing online is going to be a bitch.

Also playing online is going to be a -spank me!-.

Yeah, you're right, SCS would not be very happy with people messing with the .dll's and I do not intend to.
Akula loadout is so much better than the alfa's! :lol:

Not sure what you mean with second sentence. :-?

You won't be able to play with other people who do not have the same modifications that you do, because all players on the same server have to have the exact same database files, to prevent cheating and multiplayer errors (of which I've seen some duzies... think a Kilo launching an Udaloy DD from its tubes :o :88) ).

Although if you don't play online or you have a copy of the stock or common modded database as a backup to install when you go online, it doesn't matter. :up:

[Pirate]

You're right.
I haven't done many changes to database yet! waiting for the defenitive patch to come out and corresponding lwami mod.
Only then will make all changes to database to completely integrate my favourite drivable.

Also will have 2 database folders, and will rename to "database" the one that will be needed at the moment.

[Kapitan]

erm can you send that to me ?

[JetSnake]

Would it be possible to do the same thing but with an Ohio to make it the SSGN version?

[LuftWolf]

Would it be possible to do the same thing but with an Ohio to make it the SSGN version?

That can be done very easily by editing the database.

In fact, that is one of the things we are introducing for LWAMI 3.xx! :yep: :cool: :up:

dribbling at thought of typhoon :|\

[Deathblow]

who would want to drive a Typhoon?
It would be like trying to drive a bloated whale :lol: :-j

j/k

I would. Just to say I did. :D

Being able to nuke somehing would be cool too...

1) you are not supposed to do that without the SC authorisation

2) where anyone could see ANY interest in a hull without real hardware ????
I can't really understand that ...

it's just a nice hull, goo to see for 2 minutes and then to forget.

SCS is VERY clear on that point : YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DEVELOP ANY NEW PLATFORM

Are you able to understand that ?

YES HE CAN

If you bothered to read his second post, you will find out what he has done to make this playable (ie databse edits ONLY plus a replaced 3D file).

[OKO]

ok, so you have a new hull with wrong hardware

where is any interest in this ?

why not making a pink elephant with the best sonar ever made ?
it should be much more fun ...

[OKO]

Understand me well, Pirate :
you would have presented a new NON drivable alpha, I would have applause, and congratulate you.
But a new drivable is a big no.

[Pirate]

As Ramius said (thanks Ramius), I did nothing much!!!
Only database changes and the 3d file switch.
So well inside SCS rules :up:

And as I have done, I have a hull with wrong hardware! That's right.
I didn't fill like doing more as I am waiting for full patch. And would have to do all again with full patch.
But you can have that hull with the right hardware. You just have to create the new sensors and other hardware at the database and attribute them to the object.

Now... as I have always said, the only thing that cannot be changed is the loadout. But even that you can choose what you load and how much before you set sail on the horizon.

Oh... and non drivable alfa is much easier as you do not have to adjust masts and antenas :lol:

Cheers,

Give me a break :roll:

All this gentleman has done is switch a 3D model. And besides, this man can do whatever he wants with *his* game as long as he doesn't distribute it.

[XabbaRus]

It's OK...no harm done...

Pretty sure Pigfish would have been tied to a concrete block and checked off the pier by Jamie a long time ago had SCS not liked what he did.

[Deathblow]

You know.... :hmm: I just realized... this can be done for one of the 2 Akula II along with modding the database stats and walla, you could probably role-play most of the other subs in the game... sure same'ol GUI and and wrong number of torpedo tubes, but heck, it would be fun to do. :smug:

*Goes off to load up a typhoon* :yep:

[GhOsT55]

unless u kno wat u r doing DONT DO THIS you will mess up ur database trust me

[Greenhornet]

Man this is great... Can you guys please let me know how this was done? I'm going to grab the editor and I have all the models etc from subcommand. I just need to know how to do it correctly... Cheers!

[Captain Nemo]

waiting for the defenitive patch to come out.

Have I missed something, is there another patch from Sonalysts in the works for DW?

Nemo

[Linton]

You may be waiting a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time for that patch.It would be nice if the changes were easily reversible.:lol::lol::lol:

[Captain Nemo]

As I thought.

Thanks.

Nemo
