AG124,

To remove crates, open the EQP file in the folder of your ship and replace the Crate, Platform, etc. entries with NULL.

I've already done that - it got rid of weaponry and other small things but did nothing to the containers.

What ship was used as a base for remodelling?

BTW - This is the Coastal Merchant I've thought about making. She's a WW2 era passenger-cargo freighter beached a short drive away from where I live. I believe she had the same silhouette as in these recent photos - I'm not sure of the tonnage.

There were problems with the pictures, so here are some links, if anyone cares.

Here's what she looked like in 1913. :o

wow, shes really rideing high there

Oh, and the parent ship for the Rose Castle was the Liberty Ship.

Great jo so far!!

Can't wait to get her lined up in the periscope!!

:up:

The 7,335 ton Lord Strathcona (below) is now under construction. The parent ship will be the Victory Ship. Unfortunately, it will be a while before I have any meaningful amount of work done, because of my University workload.

I will also start the passenger-cargo vessel in the previous picture soon too (the SS Kyle) but I will have to guess the tonnage. Maybe about 1150 tons?

Nice work here :up:, for the passenger-cargo vessel i think from the photo she more looks like 1800 to 2500 tons.

Just open dat file in hex editor and figure which K nod you don need any more. Than rename it to any gun nod, A for for example, and there will not be any containers on that place

OK, I'll try that this Friday when I go home.

Both of us were wrong - it turns out the vessel in question was only 1055 grt. Here is a link.

Looks bigger though. I think the Coastal Merchant would make a good parent ship.

Think so, too. Did u ever had problems with Pack 3D when importing ur *.obj s to the *.dat ? i sometimes get this message:
" java.lang.NumberFormatExeption:For input string: "" " do u know what does that mean and how do i solve this to get my *.obj into the *.dat ?

No, I've never had any problems at all. I'm using wings3d to edit the .obj files - are you using that too or are you using something different? I don't think I can help though - I am new to this.

I get that usually when deleting nodes or surfaces or changing the texture material to *.cfg from hole.
