based on german AA single and dual guns, changed the barrel, need to change the ammo to 25 mm and change range and stuff still.

- Original work by Darkfish -

he agreed to let us add it to the IJN submarines mod and campaign.

took awhile to refine, but we'll soon have mine-laying missions I hope !

keltos, I did some more research on how we can force the game which bump map to use for a model. As you know by now you can specify the bump map for hulls using configuration file. But there was no way to do this for the tower.

I found in data\library\characters\marine.dat some clues. The 'so-called' illumination chunk (I called it this way 1.5 years ago for lack of better understanding) you will find in this file many times (on materials), is used to define bump maps on the characters. I will rename this illumination chunk in a future S3D release so it indicates additional texture map (because it can be used for AO-map, specular map, and now bump map).

I have not tested if you can use it in other files, a scan of all game files indicates that this chunk is only used in marine.dat, but that doesn't mean it won't work. Go check that file out, borrow some chunks and see if you can get it to work on your tower.

comparison german single vs IJN :

I detached the barrel for both IJN guns so that they might have moving barrels like the stock gun.

As those guns had very inaccurate simple sights with two circles I used the simple sight from the vierling.

new IJN 5.5 inch deck gun
 

I used two good pictures of a submarine 5.5 inch deck gun of the IJN that were scaled to the right proportions to create this new gun, the heck with the 4.7 inch DG !!!

Here I rotated the 3D model to check the proportions against the picture, to the right you can see the base and breach of the 20mm AA gun to check for scale against the IJN personel in the picture :

Historically accurate, well at least the I-8 had it, so it was really available, and listen well this twin 5.5 inch gun pack a wallop !

the normal I-Boat gun, the single version of the one seen here is coming your way too !

thanks to Peabody who implemented the 3d model in game !

Peabody made all the gun files and I made the 3d model and the textures.

We should have shortly :

Single 5.5 inch deck gun

Dual 5.5 inch deck gun (historical on I-8)

Single 25 mm AA gun and man

Twin 25 mm AA gun and man

We will soon have all relevant IJN weapons on board.


keltos
