Ah... Now I see what you meat. Is it really that much work to create a ship from scratch? I noticed that everyone seems to copy and modify existing ships. Is there a technical limitation to this that is unique SH3?

Minor update: Not much to report in the way of modeling because right now I am creating recognition manual images & measuring mast heights. Definitely nothing screenshot-worthy. Nevertheless, this work is a crucial part of the mod. I hope to be finished by this weekend.

I am thinking about creating a separate merchant ID handbook to take the place of the old one from about a year ago. For now, though, the main product itself keeps me busy enough.:dead:

@IBL Are we still looking at a Xmas Holiday release?

Yes.

That is great news:up:

Iambecomelife,
I want to say that do not be pressured with your Merchant Mod release date!
Your work is the best and you are doing it in your own time and for free as far as I am aware.
I suppose everybody is very excited and just cannot wait for its release.
Plenty of time.
KUrtz
Ps. Is it DOS activated like one of your first releases?

With the greatest respect Ktl_KUrtz some of us have been teased with release for years

Note the date on the post

I can appreciate Iambecome wanting to get things as he wants before release though as is his mod
:up:

That's music to my ears! Soon I can start pulling my hair out...I mean reorganizing.

Hey - did you want a bunch of ships that looked like floating cheeseboxes? :stare: Some of the ships I was about to release from 2006 were pretty awful, to say the least. :rotfl:

Can I put that one above in GWX3.0 :hmm:

In the cheese box section :lol:

THE CAM SYSTEM, PART 2.

The new version of the CAM-ship. It will replace the current version of M36B. This is basically an Empire Freighter with a few very minor modifications. I might create one more CAM-ship for the sake of variety, using a late 1920's-early 1930's motor merchant as the base unit.

This particular CAM-ship is using a disruptive camoflage skin derived from one of stock SH3's escort vessels.

Will this mod work with GWX and NYGM?

Sure it will. You just need to put the ships into the appropriate folders and update the *names.cfg file

And it's a safe bet that within a week of its release representatives from the major supermods will be releasing new campaign files with IABL's ships installed for us.

Doubt new GWX files
Tis the reason I made them as generic as possible so no need for updated ones
Ships will show in convoys and single movements without any work
