[WIP] Help request with NEW UNIT

[VonDos]

Hi everyone!

Yesterday i was trying to do an unrealized very very old project: a little paddle tug.
Now, work is almolst finished but i need your help with a couple of questions:

1) Some lights appers wrong into ingame model (see image below)

2) One UV map (related with main hull *.obj) appear wrong in some surfaces (wooden bridges) ingame, but appear correctly done in silent 3ditor (see image below)



3) If someone is interested in, i can release this little unit, but i need permissions from authors of 3 unit used as a base:

- a paddle cargo based on Zimbu Maru conversion from SH4, called NKSWS_Zinbu (if i well remember i found it in a LSH3 installation) for paddle wheels system and hull parts

- a tug called NATF (maybe also a sh4 conversion) for files, main hull and sovrastructures

- an "Harbour TugBoat" (from GWX if i well remember) called NHA_Boat1
for tug's cables cylinders.

Can someonehelp me in solve unit problems and found parent units' authors please?
I will give also them credits, if they'll accept =)

Hi VonDos,

wellcome back Points one and three are made by me - so you have permission to use them as you like. Piont two was (not 100% really sure) made by Trainer1942 aka Nautilius42. I don't know if he is still allive, never heard or read somting from him since years. It's just my opinion - but he wold give you permission immediately.

Someone know alternative metods for contact him?

[Jeff-Groves]

PM a link to the files Mate.
I did the Guns for you. I think I can handle this.

[Jeff-Groves]

Are you intending a SH3 or SH4 Unit?
Your files have the UnifiedRender stuff only used in SH4.

[VonDos]

Here comes the cavalry

I well remember the Guns you're talking about
I was reading in last days some old PMs, also related with them. Also, a couple of those PM was about (casually ) an ipotetic paddle tug..

[VonDos]

It's a SH3 unit..

maybe the UnifiedRender is from parent unit (converted from sh4)..

It's a problem?

[Jeff-Groves]

I'll fix things and send you a link.

[VonDos]

Thanks a lot =) while testing i've found another little thing: the invisible 3 propellers of the unit (paddle wheels are estethics\dummies) makes a lot of bubbles under the hull.. bubbles exit from iron hulls
