Königsberg Light Cruiser

[SeaWolf IV]

Does anybody know how to correct the onboard plane on the Königsberg Light Cruiser from a British to a German one? Or if not possible maybe a way to remove it all together?

There will be a historical correct K-class cruiser in sergs Kriegsmariene Mod. So i think its better to wait for this one....

[SeaWolf IV]

Any idea when that will be out?

What does it say in the .cfg file about airbase ?

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunerIII\data\Sea\K class

[SeaWolf IV]

[AirGroup 1]
StartDate=19350601
EndDate=19480101
Squadron1Class=LBSArado
Squadron1No=1

I changed the class to the Arado, but it makes no difference.

Well in that case its prolly the skin - expect its a copy of one of the British ones and the plane has not been changed
When I find my copy will have a look

Hi Wooly,

that's not because of the skin -> the skin is right [arado01_small.tga] in 'NCL_KClass.dat'. HanSolo forgot to change the 'Walrus' .obj files to 'Arado' ones.
Yesterday I tried to solve SeaWolf's prob [now it's also mine:lol:], so I fiddled around with 'NCL_KClass.dat' --> I extracted the Arado .obj files from 'NCA_Hipper.dat' [with Pack3D], renamed them and imported them to 'NCL_KClass.dat'. The result works [now the 'Arado' appears on deck] but is faulty and I'm not able to fix this.:damn: Have a look to museum.
Maybe you can work it out?

Hi Wooly,

now I used your file but there are the same errors like my dat file generated, although the 'Arado' appears on deck. In addition the 'Königsberg' doesn't sail [no sound, no bow waves]. Look:

Hmm most odd
Will look into that when I have a minute - bit busy at this moment in time
Never noticed those bits you poited out tho :oops: my bad

[SeaWolf IV]

Fixed the plane, but broke the boat :damn: Thanks for the effort, will keep checking back.

[SquareSteelBar]

Never noticed those bits you poited out tho :oops: my bad Don't worry - the same happened to me... http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/happy/046.gif

...bit busy at this moment in time Doesn't matter - you're not the only one

So long,
SSB

P.s.: I think these errors appear, because the 'Arado' .obj files are smaller than the 'Walrus' ones [particularly the 'NCA_Hipper_Arado.obj'] - so the positions of some different .obj files are shifted [noticed that in Pack3D], but don't know how to fix this:cry:

Well when you click on a 3d object in pack 3d there is a page on the right hand side with x,y and z coordinates on
Adjusting those moves the part up down left etc
I used the Arado.obj from Bismark and that didnt make a difference size wise

[SquareSteelBar]

Well when you click on a 3d object in pack 3d there is a page on the right hand side with x,y and z coordinates on
Adjusting those moves the part up down left etc I know that but the problem is: which are the right parts to move?

Now I found a different way: I compared my 'NCL_KClass.dat' to the original one in a hex comparer and so I was able to correct some differences [or errors?] propably made by Pack3D during import of the .obj files.

I checked it only in museum yet - it seems to work properly

Would you please also check it out, mates? DL below

Nice one mate :up:
Now why didnt I think of that
Have D\L and will install when finished the nightmare I am currently stuck in :damn:

[SeaWolf IV]

I tried the new files out and it works like a charm in game. Thanks again!

[SquareSteelBar]

I tried the new files out and it works like a charm in game. Thanks again! Poooh...that's a load off my mind:D

Now I've developed a taste of it:
more than one year ago a russian mate ['Fox Mulder'] released his cloned soviet ships. But the included 'Souz' Battleship and 'Tallinn' Heavy Cruiser always caused CTDs [not only to me - like I read in many posts]. So many gamers couldn't use these nice vessels. Since yesterday I tried to fix these issues and I think, I've got it!:know:

I'll upload the files this weekend - after thorough check out

hey guys!

nice work there you´ve done with the cruiser!!! :up:
since I am the "author" of the K-Class and I did not get it to solve the thing with the aircaft I appreciate your work very! :)
good work mates!

@SquareSteelBar
I already examined the russian ships a few months ago when I fixed them not getting CTD.. I was quite disappointed only finding a cloned Hipper class, Revenge battleship and T-2 tanker without any changes but their names.

The only changes are the Tallinn's plane textures to a russian look and the Souz' arming. That inspired me to change the Souz' plane from a 'Walrus' to 'Arado' by using this texture and renaming it 'Tupolev'http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/happy/046.gif. Additionally I renamed all included texture files, so now it's possible to use different textures in the tex folder [different from base ships' textures like Hipper + KGeorgeV].

No big deal - but now they work

Ahoi,

The Russians were loaned the HMS Royal Sovereign in 44 by Britain and was named the Arkhangelsk - given back to Britain in 1949 for scrapping
The Lützow (http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/hipper_class.htm#Lützow) ( Hipper class heavy cruiser ) was given to the Russians in April 40 unfinished -Not really finished till after the war but was used as a floating battery
Was called the Petropavlosk in Sept 40
Name changed then to The Tallin in Sept 44

The DL-location of the Arado for the KClass is dead :(
