sounds cool! I can't wait.

When you get your computer?

:hmm: probably sometime in mid next week, it shipped today

nice

so. as a dev i have to ask how much IS done with part I?

Most of the campaign( I just need those ships you are going to convert, reskin, and edit done) the patrol files need to be done as well. Most of the ships(that we have) are done. and thats it

mmmkay, I'll get down to converting those ships when my PC arrives, which should be on friday

Sounds good to me!:up:
I am currently attempting to work on the patrol objective.

Kent Class CA
 

Kent Class CA Patrol

Kent Class CA:
Made playable by Darkfish
Has Darkfish's temporary main gun texture fix
Lacks Tomhugil's damage model

Patrol ended after major damage from IJN Kongo class warship off Southern China.

I will give more info, later I am currently patroling with the Fiji class CL, no DM

Ivan - would it be possible to list olanned playable ships (or PM a list) along with status i.e. converted, damage modelled, tested, guns balanced etc.

FYI I've statred looking into ship physics so that the big ships move around in big wave (fore & aft) but don't bobble around port / starboard in the swell like demented corks. Not sure if anyone else is looking at this ? Trick seems to be to change the gc height and massively reduced the up/down & left/right drag.

Work on damage model supsended until; 1) Tom is back online and 2) Skwasjer releases the next version of S3D (with the damage zone editing functions).

Can anyone confirm whether or not they've tested a converted ship which slows to zero if/when engines are destroyed ?

I'm thinking of creating a basic checklist for damage to be filled out when testing ... so we can compare results and know what does / does not work on each ship in terms of taking damage.

What needs to be done:
3D modeling
converting
making ships playable
patrol files
convoy files
adding DM to all ships
translating mod into German

I don't what Tomhugill and his team are up to(I have been away since monday)
I know Slegdehammer427 will be resuming his work this weekend
I know Darkfish has like 2-4 ships to do before he needs to wait on more from SH427
I am waiting on the new ships for the convoys, and I just got a ship designing job so my work is going to be slow:down:

first, i have my PC back

second, S3D works :D
dont ask how, i have NO idea.

third, a SHIP designing job?!
i have a college textbook that deals with all of thos trigonemetry numbers and hullslip coeffecients, again, dont ask how i got it, i have resources

maybe the guy who repaired your computer had repaired S3d and others programs...
maybe a bug in your pc

thats my guess, it was a cracked windows XP, so that proly did it

Yea that would do it, then again I use a windows XP from Australia:p.

As for my job, I am in charge of taking this shipyards hull designs and converting them in to Patrol Boats, and making some designs of new PBs and crew boats for the Panama Canal! I have had the job for 24hrs and I already have 2 designs that I am fixing up now.(I was realy bored during triple free this morning!) Any ideas for some designs?

go traditional
S-100 Schnellboot.
minus the torpedo tubes.
if they are patrolling strips of land, the s-boats design allows for shallow area entry, and have a very good radius, (700nm at cruising speed)

I wish! But I was just told by my boss(3rd cousin) that the ships have to be designed off of this:

http://www.newtonboats.com/org_site/boats/50x16.htm

cut down the deckhouses, put a fifty cal on the bow, and put a low deckhouse about midway

I was thinking about stuff very similar to that!:up: I was going to cut down the Deck house, move it to the centre, and since the ship is meant to carry 3-6 2cm cannons, I will put the housings as so: a twin up front, 2 in the deck house, and 1 on the stern. Hows that?
