Virtual Sailor!?

Snow White Sorrow · 02-15-10, 11:17 PM

I visited here for Dangerous Waters but didn't realise there was a hint of VS here too - I'm wondering if there's any sort of possibility for me to partake in multiplayer cruises, random maritime madness, etc

I just discovered this game online today. Am downloading the demo. Looks great.

Which version.?. I used to be active in a online 'fleet' untill they published the latest version.

VS could be a good multiplayer WWII/modern naval game if Ilan could be persuaded to add some WWII era weapons tech (radar/sonar/main battery/AA guns/torps) to the game. Perhaps if enough of us requested it as an addon....

This gives a foretaste of the possibilities.

Hi (hey Spook

)

Ilan will no longer continue the development of Virtual Sailor. VSF (Vehicle Simulator) is the new simulator from Ilan.

Vehicles in Virtual Sailor are Microsoft X files. It is simple to convert vehicles for VS, if the original model file are present.

it's actually pretty involved to convert a SH ship into VS, you have to use silent editor and reverse engineer it from a bunch of broken pieces, and then you have to rescale them because the scales are really off from the two games, then you have to do all the conversions back to VS x files

but it can be done

chrysanthos · 03-22-12, 12:34 PM

spook what program should i use? wings 3d or blender? i managed to import a Admiral Scheer well some parts of it as obj files....so now i have to import the guns and i dont know how or what program to used....and after that i have to convert it to vehicle sim:/

chrysanthos · 03-30-12, 05:21 PM

maybe if i give some money for example 20usd per ship? then you are going to make them for vehicle simulator for me then??

chrysanthos · 04-23-12, 04:59 AM

wow i never seen that before....try to convince people to pay them to build my hearts content....and they never reply back...its just like they say ignore this idiot....well done....thats it i give up...no more....YOU are going to lose the money not me....remember that....

spook · 08-09-12, 08:06 PM

chrysanthos, sorry for not replying to you but I dont come to this forum much (almost never really) so I didnt see you had posted. I dont want your money, I dont really model much and I just do it for the ships/subs I want because thats what motivates me, other peoples projects dont motivate me so no, I wont do it for you and I dont really want to do a step by step because it would be pretty involved.
I saw that you noticed some 3d files were grayed out, yes that does happen, you just need to dig for the parts, hope they are there, and then convert them. If the files arent there then you need to move on to something else.
As for programs, I used Silent Editor to get the parts from the SH files, then I used Deep Explorer to convert them to obj files, then I used GMAX as my 3d program, and then used Deep Explorer to convert them to X format and then put them all in VS/VSF.

I hope this helps some

At $20.00 U.S. per ship?
I wouldn't even hit minimum wage for the time envolved!

How bad do you REALLY want them?
