[WIP] Kriegsmarine Mod

[ivank]

The

Kriegsmarine Mod

Produced by: The Surface Warfare Mod Team (T.S.W.M.T)


The Kriegsmarine Mod, is meant to enlarge the small German nationality already available in the stock Silent Hunter 4: U-Boot Missions game. It will change the starting dates for the German side to August of 1939, add starting bases for all ships in Germany, Norway, and Poland, as well as add refuelling bases and re-supply ships all around the world. The Kriegsmarine Mod will add almost all of the ships Germany had in service during
World War II, as both AI and as playable units. On that note there will be NO submarines in the campaign. The mod will give players the chance to relive the Channel Dash, the Battle of the River plate, the Battle of the Denmark Strait, and others.

Ships that will be playable (at this time):
KMS Bismarck
KMS Tirpitz
KMS Scharnhorst
KMS Gneisenau
KMS Luztow
KMS Admiral Graf Spee
KMS Admiral Scheer
KMS Admiral Hipper
KMS Prinz Eugen
KMS Blucher
K-Class light Cruiser
Type 34 Destroyer
Type 36a Destroyer
*All the ships mentioned above will exist as an AI unit as well

The campaign is almost done! The ships are being worked on. And the textures should be moving along as well

This looks cool. Will it work with the RFB with op monsun. Im pretty sure it will.

[ubootcomrade]

This is gonna be great, will you be adding "what-if" ships as well (e.g H-44 class battleship) because that would be cool .

He might but I think he is going to convert the GWX sh3 ships to Sh4.

Permission is needed first - PM Privateer

And as GWX are going to be using those ships themselves .................

But I wish you luck whatever units you end up using
Sounds promising

[ivank]

I first need to know which ships are in GWX3, then I will choose them PM privateer for permission. I will fix the crew bridge problem. The H-39 will be here. I might make the H-44. After I finish this mod I will work on my Royal Navy Mod. All my mods; The Hilfskreuzer and AMC mod, The Kriegsmarine Mod, and my Royal Navy mod will be released on my birthday(November 24) if everything goes to plan.

I do need some help with skinners. If anyone can do this please PM ASAP!!

EDIT: It will not work with OM this is a completely new mod, NO SUBMARINES!!

Not so fast!

Why would you assume that he is "appropriating" GWX ships from SH3 and importing them? Could it just be possible that ivank is a capable 3D modder with the ability and inclination to do this himself? Permission is not needed for ships not used. Privateer will not be consulted, although Privateer may wish to consult with ivank and Gotmilk after he sees their work. (you might also notice that Privateer did not pop in with such an accusation. He knows it is not necessary or appropriate) A little less hairtrigger sensitivity (and a little more work getting GWX4 assembled ) is called for when people come out with U-Boat related mods. Although the GW has some people of great ability, much great talent works outside the Grey Wolves.

Please be assured that no GWX sips will be harmed during the production of ivank's mod. Keep your eye on this mod. Ivank does GREAT work.

The GW people are dead on target when it comes to 3D modelers though. There are plenty of computer wizards--precious few artists and even fewer competent technical artists who know how to work with 3D software. These people name their own ticket and privateer is right: they don't think of SH4 modding for free as career enhancing. What Ivank has produced so far belies his modesty about his abilities. I think his ships so far are breathtaking! Ivank, heed GWX advice on release dates though. They have experience doing very similar tasks.

Here's hoping he has success in finding some 3D modeling talent. GW deserves to have worthy competition. Competition properly self-moderated works to everyone's benefit by putting everybody at their highest levels.

We are at the beginning of the process of seeing what SH4 is really capable of doing. I can't wait to see what all who have posted in this thread produce!

The H-44 couldn't have possibly existed, but the H-39 could've been nice (As well as the O class, P class, M class and all the rest)

But if you do that then give the British them Lion class Battleships too

Kinda reminds me of playing the Plan Z campaign in GNBNA

[Yossarian1943]

Sounds really good. A great idea. But please don´t forget the crew bridge placement on the german ships like Hipper, Bismarck and Scharnhorst. We need the ships with this mod.

[ivank]

Need 3d Modellers!!!!

[ivank]

Thanks for the advice when Im done working on the campaign for all 3 mods and get some more of the ships I already have, Ill get to learning

[bigboywooly]

everyone is looking for good 3d modellers
only so many as Mikhayl said
Even the ones there are can only work so fast

Time is always in the way
As well as RL of course



Good luck with it
I wish I had the patience to learn it myself

[ivank]

same; with school, the mods, and just life its hard to stick down and learn something like this!

Most 3d people don't even look at the SH series.
From the perspective of makeing a name in the 3d world?
Silent Hunter is a dead end.
Those that do stay here?
They are so busy you'd be lucky if they answered your post!

80% kit bash
20% build fresh

0% do proper, 100% SH4 versions of anything.
Good luck on your search.

anyone know what type of file is the campaign_LOC.mis in the mission editor, is it a Rnd Data, Landunits data, Scripted Data, or Mapnotes Data? the quicker it takes to answer this the faster I can continue working on the mods!
