Thanks for the pictures but could you please do me a favor: post them to me using mediafire, etc and not on this thread? I want most of the screenshots to showcase work on the mod.
There will be British submarines. Some British trawlers will be equipped with a submerged submarine; this decoy combination sank at least one U-Boat in WWI. Note that SH4 (unlike SH3) allows for torpedo carrying AI units. Attacks on enemy subs will be extremely dangerous if you're careless. Q-Ships, Armored Cruisers, and many battleships/battlecruisers will also have torpedoes...if you don't watch out you may be sunk by a "helpless" target. By the way my computer was just hit with ransomware that destroyed a lot of the work on WOTK - however, I have had it cleaned of the infection, and many of the files were on my laptop; I can transfer them to it and resume work. Also, the ransomware was unable to infect SH3/4 dat files, so all of the units that I have already imported ingame ("Lusitania", "U-51", etc) are safe. I will be visiting family this week and will not have access to my modding machine (the desktop), so I will be spending this weekend on research and an updated mod timetable. I STRONGLY recommend that you invest in a good antivirus program and keep offline backups - I learned the hard way! Now I have Norton, and will be backing up my mod files offline weekly. And regarding "Olympic" and "Britannic" - let's just say I learned a lot from modeling "Lusitania"....no promises but keep checking this thread in the coming weeks. :sunny: |
This is my new "work" the royal Hellenic Navy.
battleship: http://www.mediafire.com/download/i1...kilkis1914.png http://www.mediafire.com/download/ap.../kilkis_02.jpg Kilkis class BB (ex US Mississipi class) two units. http://www.mediafire.com/download/3m...ip+%281%29.png http://www.mediafire.com/download/oc...02+%281%29.png Hydra class BB cruisers: http://www.mediafire.com/download/30...ages+%283%29.j Georgios Averof CA (built in Italy as Pisa class ca) one unit http://www.mediafire.com/download/1a...UI_%282%29.png http://www.mediafire.com/download/9n...90+%281%29.jpg light cruiser-minelayer Elli (one unit) destroyers: http://www.mediafire.com/download/xy...e2+%282%29.jpg http://www.mediafire.com/download/xy...01+%282%29.jpg Niki class DD (four units, one sunk in ww1) http://www.mediafire.com/download/ya...dd+%281%29.png http://www.mediafire.com/download/ab..._9+%281%29.gif Aetos class DD four units. (please it' important to download all the images) In august 1916 the bulgarian forces entered in greek territory east of the Struma river, but the hellenic governament didn't object; so the Allied forces, that wanted Greece in war with them, on 23 august 1916 entered in the greek capital Athenes, made a golpe and confiscated all the fleet. On 30th june 1917 the new greek governament entered in war agains the Central Powers, so the fleet returned to Greace and helped the Allies against the K.u.K. and german submarines. During the war a lot of hellenic merchant ships and one destroyer were sunks by submarines. Sorry for my bad english. And sorry IABL, if I took the liberty of use this tread for "my comfortable". |

No need to be sorry...and thank you for the pictures. My computer is up and running again - the virus has been removed and I have started more 3d modeling work...it's good to be back in business. Too early for screenshots of the latest ship, but it's coming along. |
Any hints as to what the latest one is?
|
Just now reading through the thread for the first time. Some really impressive work being done here! :salute:

Ahoy and good to hear the virus situation is behind you . well done it is a nasty thing to have happen. back ups are essentail a thumb drive may be the easiest.
I just upgraded my own system to a new 8.1 platform but also keep my XP machine for ship modelling. I just sent you a catch up PM, but have been working on more ships myself, some from our shared interest era...just almost ready to launch the SS Alexander Hamilton ...US 300 foot Day Line steamer, and the RMS Alauina, a lovely Cunard liner launched in 1912 sadly also sank by mines i believe off Irish coast ... good to see progress continues. i hope to lend a hand as time allows sorry to have been out of touch for a bit. Got some new reference books including one on the Goeben and other WWI ship books, so will help with those as time and your needs allow. happy summer time ! Admiral Von G |

Welcome back, Adm Gerlach. Some good news with the virus situation - I had assumed that my uniform mod was destroyed, but it turns out that the virus failed to infect the DDS files! That means that all those hours spent on sailor uniforms and new crew faces were not wasted....this saves me a tremendous amount of time. :sunny: |
Hi chief,
Do you gonna do a playable prview of the mod? like an alpha version? like that we gonna can suggest some amelioration, the community. |

Here are some images of a side project...in my old lifeboat mod, the crewmembers were basically "mannequins" - The updated variant, included in WOTK, will have the animated crewmen seen here (with privateer's permission). One problem I have: I want different ships to spawn different types of lifeboats - Battleships should spawn steam launches & galleys - Cargo ships should spawn boats with merchant crew...liners should have civilian passengers - etc. I also want German or British uniforms depending on what ship is sunk. Not sure if this can be done, although I have some ideas. Perhaps create a lifeboat particle effect, linked to a zone on the target ship??? http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...2.jpg~original http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...2.jpg~original http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...1.jpg~original |
Yes. It can be done to spawn proper clothing and equipment.
|
The Invincible class battle cruiser!

Wow; that lifeboat is very beautiful :up:
I can't wait to see new progress. Good work IABL and Adm von Gerlach to. :salute: |
Good work with the lifeboats:up:

Here's another hint - it was a large class of ship, with 10 built. |
