Sorry, I had the V3 version, and there was only .val files. I don't know what are the .sim files for in the V4. You would have to compare with the gwx's to know what are they for, what have been changed.

Yes, I stopped modding, but you may still ask me questions, I will help you where I can. This mod can be continued by anyone, including you. That applies to all my mods; They can be continued by anyone.

Best of luck, my friend! You got skill! :up:

I've just finished ThomsensShipsV3.1.
It can be downloaded from my filefront page.

Well done!

I suggest you contact RDP and ask him to change the thread's title.
Also, ask him if it's possible to change the control of the thread to you.
:up:

Probably the best thing to do would be to start a new one, then close this one with a re-direct link to the new thread. Let me know h.sie what you want to do :yep:


RDP

Only problem with starting a new one is that all the questions would be re-asked. This thread would have to be consulted everytime.

But whatever H.Sie decides... Not my problem anymore! :lol:

Hi RDP and PT,

so far, I only have programmed a tool which allows fast & easy changes to the mod in order to make PT's life easier. but the ideas and modification rules (eng_power = 50% and so on) mainly came from PT (and his beta-testing team). so I saw myself with the program only as a helper or assistant and I don't know if I have enough time for testing / online-support and enough knowledge for further development and improvement of this mod. I even do not know, if we are on the right way with it, because I've never played with it - programming my tools and doing other small mods took all my time.

I think, if there is enough interest in a further development, we'll find competent people with knowledge and new ideas to do that. Of course I'll help with my program. but I'm not the successor of PT. at time, I would neither deactivate this thread nor change it's title.

If you would like I can add what you have here :roll: to the first post.
Let me know.

What I have here? Not sure if I understand correct??

I have:

1) Version V3.1 of PT's Ship Mod on my filefront-page.

2) A program, which I do not want to share, bacause it's been made quick&dirty and only I will be able to use it. No time for supporting it or to write a manual or to make it user-friendly.

3) Instead of sharing the tool, I offer to use it for further modding. If for example one person has tested new modding rules with a few test-ships and thinks to have good (realistic!!!) results, I offer him to mod all the 200-300 ships using the tool based on his new rules. my tool currently can only modify the unit_Ship section of the .sim files

more I do not have.

P.S. perhaps it makes sense to change the title of the thread to V3.1 and to set a link to my filefront-page, perhaps V3.1 cannot be found on PT's FF-page

Lets make this easier.

Here's the login for my FF page.



Use at will.
:up:

I've changed the PW to prevent abuse and I'll put V3.1 on that page, which will stay unchanged until your return ...

Like I said, guys. My mods are your mods. Everyone's mods. All for the community.
H.sie found more safe to change the password. If anybody wants to manage it, upload something new, just ask him the password.

If someone decides that it would be fun to hack it and delete everything, go ahead. Have your fun. To each his own.

That's what I meant in my previous post :yep:

Anyone tried this mod with GWX 3.0?

Working fine at this end.

Do the comments on the first page of this topic about this mod breaking GWX not apply anymore now GWX 3.0 is out then?

It has been fixed on the previous version.

I was starting to muck around with SH4 for the very same reasons and found this thread. Awesome work, I'm likely to use a lot of this as the starting point for experiemnts in SH4 (heck, maybe the end point, too, but need to see how the AI behaves before I can makle a call).

Was gonna edit, but it's stuill fubar.

What were the 5 edited values?

Sufarced LR, HP, drag and prop-factor under rudder... gc height?

Surface LR and UD drag = 0,75
Propulsion to 30% of original value. Ex. 100=33
Rudder from 0,03 to 0,02 (only merchants)
GC Height from *whatever* to 0,1.

:up:

Gotcha. I tested IJN Ise with these settings except HP. HP I set to 10%. She still gets to 20 knots in 6 minutes.

That's probably not too far from reality. Iowa was capable of stopping in ~4 minutes from 30 knots (a little over 1nm). That's a crash stop, flank to all back emergency. She certainly could not accelerate as fast as she could stop, either. I'd expect Ise to be slower.
