Dude,

Show some courtesy to the rest of us and don't repost iam's images in your quoted text. It's unnecessary and takes up space for no reason at all. A PM works just as well, especially considering your question isn't even related to SH4.

I Think it´ll be damn hard job to add new ships to SH4 even more to make them compatible to all these mods outside. Try, what you´ve done for SH3 before. Keep up the good work Skipper:up:

Actually, there has been quite a bit of work done in this and we're only missing a couple of key components, both of which are being worked on currently.

It's only a matter of time true believers...:up:

These ships actually are part of the MFM progress. I am releasing them for both SH3 and SH4. There has been a tremendous amount of progress made compared to the first version I submitted to the beta testers - nearly every freighter and many tankers have been revamped thoroughly. I am also developing a new, SH3Commander-friendly way of changing skins as time goes on - this can also be used to adjust parameters like tonnage, ship durability, and average top speed as the war progresses. At first I was conflicted but now I'm glad I didn't make the beta tester's version the release version.

Necro-bump!

As you can tell from a raft of necro-bumps, I'm getting jazzed on jap merchants again...

A couple hundred bucks worth of new books probably has something to do with it :)

Okay, I'm interested...what books have you been buying?

This is indeed great! I can run them without problem in SH4. Well, the ones that have been imported already, anyway.

Jace, you're one of the legends around here, though we haven't seen you in awhile. Maybe you could take these and do that work. Or teach me how to. I also want to see the animated crew on the new ships, and don't know how to do it.

Crew is trivial.

Open dat with s3d, add some P nodes if they don't exist. Add SH4 animated guys with the eqp file to the P nodes (or any other, really, the nodes don't seem to care :) ).

IABL, in another mod you made some trawlers. The F02B bears a striking similarity to a VERY needed ship for the pacific, the Sea Truck.

The primary large difference is that they were gaff rigged to sail. Easily solved I think (dump the sail texture altogether, or furl it in the texture).


And the F01B looks like a Steel Sea Truck:

This would be a cool addition.

nice trucks !

I have a DL called USSRUnits, and inside is a NDE_BH1.

I think the author is Vaa? (the readme is in russian).

Any way to get a hold of him, it looks pretty close (with a little work) to a few jap subchasers (Cha-103 type of which there were 7)

Key word being ALMOST
