If I remember rightly, GWX 2.1 is in the final testing stages and is not open to any new ship models.

It won't matter really, because once these are installed to the proper folders the random campaign layer will add them to convoys and individual sailings automatically. The only difference it makes is to the ships in harbors, as they have to be scripted in.

iambecomelife: I'm really excited to add all these great looking ships to SH3. Any idea on a target day to have it ready for download?

Thanks for your craftmanship and labors!

Would you guys like it if I released it in the next week or two? Maybe around the time when the SH4 addon and/or GWX 2.1 comes out? I want to try to release when a large number of people are interested in the game.

Not every issue can be fixed before then but no serious, CTD-causing bugs remain AFAIK. This has taken an insanely long time (about two years) and I may as well get it over with...

My laptop has indeed proven too slow and choppy to run a complicated mission; however, tomorrow afternoon, I will see if I can put together a couple of simple test missions to see how they sink.:D For that is what merchants in this game are intended, after all....:hmm:

My favorites, BTW, are the medium freighter M05A, and the older two-funneled passenger liner P03A.:yep: I like them all though, of course.

Surprised you like P03A - that ship is kind of outmoded & weird. :) I agree that M05A looks nice - it's an interesting composite superstructure type from late WWI-early post WWI era.

I'm afraid not :nope: (the final testing bit....but additional shipping is correct)

I inadvertently stated that a few days back by mistake http://www.thecomicforums.com/forum2...icide_anim.gif

If I am the reason for any of the confusion, I apologise http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2649/praydl5.gif

The current position is....we are testing a 2.1 beta which may or may not be a final one and the release date has not yet been decided. http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

And what nice looking ships too sunk. Fantastic work. I just kann white too have them on my pat and my periscop, and then is n1 loos. Keep up the good work.

To the beta testers - out of curiosity, have any of you tried to use the "MFMSkin" batch files so that you can have camoflage skins late in the war? I've noticed that all of your screenshots are of early war paint schemes.

BTW, a major update is nearly complete. The following vessels have been replaced with improved models:

M19A
M19B
M20A
M20B
M18A
M17B
M02B
M09B
M01B
M01A
T03A
T03B
T06B
T11B
T02A
T02B
T17A

The following ships have been added:

T18B
T11A

The following ship has been deleted:

T06A

The fix to the Ross/McKnight class tanker (# T08B) will be incorporated.

The update will also feature improved skins. I have developed a new technique for improving the weathering effects, using rust textures from the default SH3 ships (yes, the same ships I used to badmouth all the time back in 2005). :roll:

If I am satisfied with this version I may make it the release version, after completing a few tweaks.

iambecomelife, you have a PM.
