[REL] Harbour Addition_Environment Enhancement Mod v0.5

HanSolo78 · 03-25-10, 05:01 AM

Since the stock game SH5 comes with much better harbours than SH3/4, I was really
happy to see the german harbours much more recognizable.
Also the other big harbours which were used for u-boat warfare are much better implemented...
but this does not mean that they are perfect. Now the harbours are lifeless, without any moving
and activ environment.

This thread should be used to announce and release harbour additions which contain new 3d models,
terrain changes to harbours, animated people, animated cranes, living environment, etc.
Everything that has to do with enhancing the harbour atmosphere.

SKIPPED AT THE MOMENT:
Since my first time of SH5 it annoyed me a bit that the piers of harbours are way too high and look somehow ugly.
"I figured out how to change these heigh harbour piers.. already done that with Kiel BUT -
the problem is that all the terrain around the harbour has to be reworked too because some buildings will sink into the ground otherwise.
And this takes time... already used to take me about 3-4 hours."

Nice one Hans
How did you get on with the Terrain Editor ?
I didnt find it that good - camera lock didnt work for a start making changes real difficult

Amazing work

I see the Laboe and Moltenort have been converted nicely into SH5. I recall someone asked for it...
Nice

Hi Han,

I see you out again plunges fully into the work. Toll what you have begun,but as Bigboywooly writes difficult to see on the screens.

How do I know you, you have already tried some and is accord on the screens (both monuments from SHIII), can the port workers, security guards, cranes, vehicles, port rail and sluices imported from SHIII?

Greeting

urfisch · 03-25-10, 07:57 AM

Hi!

@bbw

Actually after some learning how to do with the terrain editor I cam along really good...
only what used to be a bit difficult was to create straight beaches.

@Thfeu58

About the other stuff to import we have to try... I realized that Sh5 has some problems importing .dat files...
at least I experienced this until now.
Everytime I wanted to import a .dat file which has more than one level..
more than 1 3D object only display the first 3dobject.
So.. as many other files do build on this system.. it may be difficult. But maybe we´ll find a workaround.
The bad thing.. if it does not work... we´ll get problems with animations, etc.
With Granny also animations are possible.. but we would need a appopriate Tool to edit these files!

Do you intend to add some of the shipyards, drydocks and floating docks as well?

I just discovered some small but sufficent detailed layout drawings (Bremen Vulkan, Germaniawerft Kiel, Deutsche Werft Kiel, Howaldtswerke Kiel, Deschimag Bremen, Howaldtswerke Hamburg, Deutsche Werft Hamburg) in the book 'Geschichte des deutschen U-Bootbaus'. I think it should be enough to cough up some basic scenery (placement of docks, halls etc) in the crucial harbours.

BTW: The book is really great as it has several huge fold out plans of WWII subs (VIIB/C, IX D2, XVII G, XXIII, XXI and XXVI).

Cheers!

Light buoys were made for SH3 . Hopefully if the devs enable us to bring sh4 ships to sh5 then we could import other stuff too .
