it's coming along nicely ! but you are making it for SHIII or SHIV ? I mean I know you posted pictures of it in SHIII here on the thread, with uniforms and all, but you intend to sport it to SHIV right ? regards keltos |
95% Sure it's SH4.:yep:

The Campaigns (mis files) are very much different though, that alone is a big job, probably SH3 would be easier but SH4 graphics is nicer, maybe he could post a vote to see how many prefer what engine! Or we just wait to see what evolves. |
Yattaaaaa !!!!!

Well, it turns out that SH3 hates the U66 model and has started CTD'ing out of the blue.
However, the good news is that I have restarted the submarine using the Type IX model from SH4. I squeezed in the top of the Type IX hull to give it the old-fashioned saddle-tank look you see on many WWI submarines, including U66. I am straightening the bow at the moment, which is an extremely simple task. Afterwards I will import the U66 conning tower I created and see how she looks in SH4! As for platforms, I will probably use SH4 as long as it is possible to modify the coastline and buildings easily. I noticed severe problems with parts of the European coast in stock SH4; in particular, hillsides that disappear into thin air. I hope that these problems have been fixed (or can be fixed with existing mod tools). |
I have found a realy nice 3d model of the Derfflinger. If you`re interested here`s the link:

@ IABL, bit of a shame about U66 having problems with your model in SH3! an annoying waste of time and effort!!:oops::cry:
I'm glad that the sh4 IX model seems ok, might have to post a thread in the sh4 forum section there concerning the coastlines, like you say it may have been resolved!:yep: |

I successfully got the U-35 from "Shells of Fury" to appear; now I hope to try using my own subs. :rock: IIRC the SOF team never responded to our request to use their models, so I will only use them as a last resort. Thanks for the link, Karle94. |
Just wanted to say hello... been a long time... i've been kept busy with comp probs and work on getting my own webstore and site started... i wasn't sure if you were interested or not... but my line of ww1 ships also included a gunnery observation balloon which would have been towed above the ships for shot-fall observation and spotting (aka a "kite balloon")... it's with my other stuff on sharecg... if you would like to make use of it let me know:)
|
i'd like to try out one of your wwI ships fore sure! :D:yep:
|
Maybe yo could make a single mission where you can renact the sinking of the Lusitania?
|
Hmm, been awhile IABL, any more news?:D
|
To everyone who is interested, right now I am in more of a research phase, so there is not much interesting to show.
Most importantly, I want to admit that SH4 still is not confirmed to be the platform - especially since I resolved a major issue with SH3's land textures. Initially, only SH4 could support the huge photo-based land textures I wanted to use (SH3 would crash), but I just managed to do it successfully. Another issue is how badly rendered much of Europe's coast is in SH4 - it was apparently neglected, being a Pacific sim and all. There are whole areas in France etc where mountains are transparent - a very big immersion killer if so much of the action takes place in the Atlantic. If a decision is made to change platforms you will obviously be notified. In terms of models, more work has been done on the pre-dreadnought "Majestic", the U-66, and the cruiser "Ariadne". More details later. |
