[WIP] SHIII Merchants for SHIV

AG124 · 03-23-07, 05:14 PM

I'm almost done transferring a group of merchants from SHIII to SHIV. I just need someone to test them, and possibly add SHIV-compatible weaponry.

The ship files are all assembled in their correct folders - all one would have to do is to copy the files into the correct folders. I would prefer if the tester is one who is more familiar with modding, so they will not cause any damage to their own installations trying this. Nothing will be replaced though.

This is the list of ships in the pack:

Pyro Ammunition Freighter (AG124)
Chatham/Small Troop Transport (AG124)
Coastal Tanker (AG124)
Converted Whale Factory (AG124)
Empire Celt/Celt Tanker (AG124)
Small Coastal Vessel/Coastal Trader (Stock, multi-skin by UBOAT234)
C3 Cargo (Stock, multi-skin by Sergbuto)
C2 Cargo (Stock)
Caribou/Small Passenger/Cargo (AG124)
Coastal Merchant/Freighter (Stock)
Small Merchant (Stock)
T2 Tanker (Stock)
Small/Patapsco Tanker (Stock)

All of my ships were UV Mapped by Ref for GWX, were given new deck textures by Boris, and have GWX damage models by Von Helsching.

I'll provide names for the English.cfg file.

I WANT I WANT I WANT !!!!!!!!

:p

Thanks, AG !!!! :p

Impressive work, really.

AG124 · 03-23-07, 05:31 PM

OK then. :hmm: I'll upload a BETA version in about half an hour.

Wohooo!!!

*crack* Ouch... my neck... :rotfl:

Warhunter · 03-23-07, 05:32 PM

Just want to make sure that you read this:

matzeesn is absolutly correct, JUST COPY THE GUNS.DAT ; GUNS.SIM and GUNS.ZON from SH3 "Library" folder to SH4 Library.. And the guns/turrets of SH3 are working in SH4 !!

I tested it with the Bismark, works perfectly...

So just use the SH3 .eqp files....

AG124 · 03-23-07, 05:35 PM

OK, thanks Warhunter.

I'll include the SHIII guns files with the package, and restore the .eqp files for the stock ships.

I'll be back shortly to make the release. Meanwhile, if anyone is talking to Sergbuto, ask him if he would like the NKGN and NPTR in this release as well.

Alex · 03-23-07, 05:41 PM

Send him a PM.

:p
I don't know why he would not be ok to include them in this pack.

I would like to see them in SH4 right now. But the wait is going to be long for me, considering I sweared I will not play SH4 as long as I've not completed a GWX and Norops career.

PLEASE SAFE KEEPER, RELEASE IT NOOOOW !!

AG124 · 03-23-07, 06:16 PM

Just sent a PM to Sergbuto. I will wait for awhile, and upon his response I will either release the package as-is, or add whichever merchant ships (out of his 4) he will allow me to add.

Also, I imagine Iambecomelife will want to do his own, so I won't ask about the Empire Class Freighter right now.

Just so you know, the above types were specific US types. The Japanese had nothing that looked like those ships.

AG124 · 03-24-07, 06:41 PM

Yes, I know.

The Pyro has only been assigned to the US, and the C2 and C3 have been assigned only to the US and UK (I believe the UK operated a few of each type). However, I don't know if I'm going to proceed with the release, as it's possible Ubisoft would be upset and I don't know about getting someone to fix the damage models.

@ Privateer - I don't know how to make new damage models, especially not for SHIV (as I can't actually run the game). I believe that requires good hex-editing skills too, anyway. Sergbuto has often remarked on the difficulties of this aspect of ship construction.

I'll be releaseing 2 Conversions to SH4 shortly.
River Class which uses SH4 guns and DCRacks
and has a few crewmen standing about.
And the Maxim Gorki by Liliput which I checked
out in SH4, packaged up mostly by BBW of course.
All I did on this was double check and repackaged.

River will get damage objects next to see what we need to do to
bring this on-line for conversions.

Still working on the 10/-1 and 6/0 conversion.
