Yeah AG124, I sent one to the bottom last night as well. 2 fish and it rolled over and slipped beneath the waves :up: :up:

:P That's great to know. I was beginning to worry.

I haven't had time to play lately because of university work. The spare time that I have managed to find was spent getting the NCOT and NCVW ready for release. Someday I will get to sink one of my own ships in a campaign... :cool:

Has the Coastal Tanker shown up yet in a campaign?

Your Rapid Share Link does not work for me
 

I don't know what it is about this Rapid share stuff?
It is hit and miss for functioning on my end.
All I know is that your links will not work for me, is there someone who has these mirrored on a normal FTP site that doesnt have all the rapid share restrictions?
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Here is a link to FileFront. THe Coastal Tanker is not there though.

BTW - Iambecomelife, I remember when you made an excellent skin for Chris 9/11's Ceramic Liner. I was wondering if you had time to try to make a couple of skins for the NCVW. If you are too busy, then that is OK but if you can it would be cool. I could include them in the next release (giving you credit for them) or you could include them in the MVP or release them separately.

What changes have been made to the NYGM compatible .zon file?
Do you only have to change hitpoints or is there more to do?

I´d like to to the modification for other extra units as well but don´t know what has to be done to the zon files.
Thanks in advance and keep up the great work on extra ships!

Thanks, great work, and special thanks for the NYGM version! (hopefully it works)

The NYGM zone file only has more HP's than the stock one. There are no other changes, but that should help a lot anyway. :yep:

Haven't seen a coastal tanker yet.

I'd be happy to, but I recently suffered a major setback in my modding - see the New Ships sticky for details. Once I've recuperated I'll be happy to help - I found the prewar schemes for some whaling companies in a couple of ID books.

BTW, check your PM.

Don't worry about it - I just read the 'Mod requests..ship' thread. Don't see a PM yet though - I'll give it a minute.

Check the 'Mod Request...' thread.

could someone please e - mail these two files, can't download from rapidshare.

thanks in advance

Here is a link to Filefront. (You can also see it if you click on my profile).

Both ships are now here.

Some preliminary info I've gathered for skins: the "Southern Princess" class factories would have been painted grey w/ white deckhouses and tan funnels. Another major company (Southern Whaling?), had black hulls with green waterline paint. Still looking for info on the Kosmos II's company, although they had grey for their ships' hulls. I'll give this a try after I reinstall all my drivers & software. As a plus, the funnel on the parent unit allows for logos without repetition problems like on the T-3 and coastal merchant stacks.

As with most ships I'd imagine these colors would have been painted over by mid-late 1940 with an overall grey camo scheme.

AG124,

Can you say a few words on how the damage model of the Converted Whale Factory Ship was taken care of? What was the parent ship? Did the hull was changed in any way, scaled etc.? Were other imported objects aligned with respect to damage zones so that there is no mis-alignment when gunning them down? Or was the ZON file adjusted to fit the new 3D profile (if necessary)? Maybe it is a good idea to provide such an info for other ships upon their release.
