One thing I've noticed though.

All the guns of the different surface ships are stored in a file called "guns_radars_01.GR2" (I can view them all in the Goblin Editor - file is located in the Library folder -> ShipParts).

When I go to extract that file it only gives me some six inch guns from a British cruiser and none of the other .obj files of the other guns are present.

I'm trying to "add" a new model of the Scharnhorst to the game. This new model would represent the intended refit that that ship class were to receive. The Germans were planning to replace the 11" guns with the same 15" inch guns of the Bismarck-class. But I need to modify the barbettes and some other things to get those guns to fit and can't do that effectively without those guns.

Anyone know of another place those guns are stored? Or how to get them?

Update: Looks like it's only giving me the "6in_MkXXII_double_turret_GB" and "6in_MkXXII_double_barrels_GB" as .obj files. Those are on the top of the list as shown in the Goblin Editor so maybe the exporter is only exporting the model at the top of the list.

If I could delete all the models I don't want in that list (and save a backup of course!) maybe I could get to the guns I want? Is there a way to do that?

Useing the version you have to extract all meshes:

Make a copy of the GR2 file.
Useing a Hex editor, search for
Trento/Zara
Change all of them to
Trento1Zara
(there are 4 references)
and save.
Now you can extract everything.

Your Welcome.
:yep:

If any file contains a control character in it's 3D object name?
Just change it to a number or letter with a Hex editor.
I don't do a CRC check on the GR2 files for this reason.

The unreleased versions don't suffer from this problem obviously.
:DL

Great work !!!! :yeah:
Excuse me but with my bad English I don't undestand one think.
It will be possible in the future export the obj file modified in gr2 file ?

Thanks !!!!!

I believe you mean 'Import' new obj file to GR2.

In the not to far future , Yes.
I can replace 3D meshes now.
It's not perfect yet but it can be done.

Hi Privateer!

I saw your Type XIV from SH3 imported in SH5 and I think it's great.I pressume that the same conversion procedure also works for torpedo models.Correct?

I'm not a big modder like some people outhere,including you.But I would like to change some things in SH5 that bother me.I just need someone who know how thigs work, to focus me in the correct way and I'll do my best...

You saw my problem with SH3 torpedoes I want to import in SH5...Could you please explain to me what I must do to correctly resolve that issue?

Thank you and best regards!:salute:

Hi oby,

The dats don't allow us to control that blur effect as far as I could test.
I can not run SH5 on my current system and was useing my Stepsons
system for awhile while doing the Type XIV.
This was done just before, and adjusted, for the last patch.
I pretty much can not do anything for SH5 at this time.
If I can't see it?
I can't fix it.
:nope:

Due to a Morals issue no future releases are planned.

What's going on?! :06:

What? Does that mean we have to get along with only 4 shipmodels for the game? :(

this is the end of sh5:cry:

:o
Can someone get the Privateer Enigma decoder out....

Will you release the source code of your exporter and everything else you've been working on for this then? I'd like to pick up where you are stopping and also want to convert it into either C++ or C# :06:

It's done in C++ already.
And no I'll not release the source code as yet.
I said no future releases are planned.
I did not say I was dropping the whole project.

Should I abandon the whole project?
I may release the source code then.
But I highly doubt I ever will.
(Maybe if you figure out what the interiorfore cam actually is?)
You also have a lot of nerve to ask this in the open forum.
My PM works just fine.
But it seems you want to play the Hero yet again?
All the clues have been exposed.
Follow those.
The only person that actually followed what is going on is Anvart.

Being a God is a tough business.
Allowing the praises here at SubSim to define you?
That becomes Narcissistic.

Sad to hear that !
I want to say thanks Privateer and I hope you will come back.
I thought we can lift up Sh5 to the "Game-Level" of Sh3

Anyway, thank you very much for your great great work.

There aren't many threads on any forums across the whole Internet I check on a regular basis but this is one of them becuase of its pivotal nature with SH5.

Most players get to benefit from the efforts or end product of modders, but you are the modder for modders dare I say bridging the gap with development. Its difficult to put a value on that, but its big I think most will acknowledge that. :up:

At the risk of telling someone how to suck eggs have you asked RAD? I mean its not like you are profiting from their IC or 'taking something off their dinner plate' that I can see.

(good to see you have ur sense of humour back btw)
