Thanks for the screens/comments everyone - S3ditor decided to stop working (it crashes on startup), so posting's going to be light again until skwas or someone else can help me out. :damn:

Hi to all and to IAMBECOMELIFE for the merchant fleet, I've been waiting for this for literally years and feel so close -

Any way a question for you - I thought to have a bit of a sneak peak via NIK112's Replaced ships mod - if its anything to go by the new fleet will make SH3 almost a completely new game!

Ok a couple of observations - I've come across a couple of the new ships, they all seem to have great damage affects and are visually stunning. However I noticed on the sides of a couple of the new ships there is a panel that seems to be well wrong. Seems to be featuring a part of the command deck superstructure, but on the side of the hull and always in the middle. Forinstance your looking at the hull from square on the right side, in the middle of the ship above the water line you see a door and some portholes and they are stretched and out of scale. Other ship models the hull is fine

Also

Came across Arrow freighter or tanker I think - it had a small, square American flag on the sides in line with early war neutral ship schemes, but was UK flagged - perhaps it wasnt being so neutral afterall - so was this a neutral or not, can the modders tell me

Also

Is there any way some one can take a look at the surfaces in the game to emphasise the shine or reflictive quality of gloss paint or the fact that they were wet, there is some sort of reflection or shine in the game but its set too low and I dont know how to beef it up to make it more real.

Also any way to make the water look more like water and less like blue or green honey

Hmm am having trouble not with the MFM but with the english names file.
Every time add the MFM names and then hit save it keeps saying unable to save root and path is not correct. Is the anyone with any ideas out there.
Could some one upload there English Names file with the MFM names already in so i then replace the one i cant change?

It's needed adding O01B=Ore Freighter-UK in English names.
@ Mr chris: Look "read atributes" is not checking in Englishnames.cfg propieties.

Thanks for the hint Coronas:up:
Also added the one posted above.
Had to go into the properties and give myself permission to change the file.

FYI people, tentative release date for the first installment is between Friday and Sunday of this week. If you want you can go to FILEFRONT and download the latest beta (no PW) although it has some errors and I recommend you wait for the final product.

Thanks for your support.

Hi! Although i still get problems with some of your ships ( english M11B and M12B), everything runs fine both in museum and carreer. I start a new carreer in nov 1939. The first ship i came across was a merchant type 33 but i always thought it was a type 9. Identification is now very though, especially in bad weather and mistakes are easy to make even for skilled kaleuns! Your work is great

One problem I noticed
 

Sorry, I don't know exactly what ship this is. Above water, a work of art as usual.

Something just aint right...

Thanks for the hint. Will investigate.

And I am aware of the reflection problems. Unfortunately, these will not be fixed until Privateer and/or Skwas release some new modding tools. I can get reflections of the appropriate size/shape, but every time I import them they are covered with the deck textures. After multiple attempts I was unable to find a solution.

Me neither, but let us see how well developed is my Kaleun's eye :D

My guesstimation for that ship is:

Ship length=90 to 100 metres
Mast=25 metres
Funnel=22 metres
Top of bridge=20 metres
Tonnage=Around 4000


So how far am I off, IABL? :hmmm:

From what i've seen, this is going to be a superb mod. Excellent work iambecomelife:salute:.

Right im just about to pull all my hair out. I installed a second 4870 x2 graphics card and a 1250wat coolmaster psu this week and now i cant even even get SH3 to load a mission. Im running the lastest drivers and have tried old ones as well. Im just at the end of my teather I have got the beta mod installed and all i want to do is test it out but my it keeps ****in crashing. Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe
 

Tray reinstaling the game. It mayte help. I had the similar problem with new card and after reinstaling the game it work. Theat is a maybe the solution, just maybe. I m shore sombady have a beter 1.
Cheers

That's about right, although the tonnage is less than 4K.

Tried reinstalling the game a few times now. I'm just running out of options now.
