Is there any mod for depth charges ?

[makman94]

hello subsimers,

i have the sense (not sure though) that there was a mod for making the depth charges more detailed (3d model and textures).
i did a quick search but no luck.

is there any mod around for it ? does the great Testpilot ever made such a mod?

You could always 'borrow' the DC from this mod for personnal use.

thank you Jeff
these depth barels look awesome !

i opened the .dat files and i saw the depth barel model (i can not see it textured though) but i have no idea how to import it in the sh3's depth charge dat.

if Rosomaha give his permission,can you (or someone that can handle .dat files) make a ready for use mod for sh3?

I have made such a mod, but mine is giving the escorts authentic numbers of depth charges and is integrating 11 different depth charges, but only the Mark 9 has an authentic look. I will give the other Models their authentic look at a later time. You can find it here http://www.mediafire.com/folder/xao7...#4uqjlj8qekcwc.

hello Padi,

your mod is very very interesting mate ! the readme is in german and i can't understand exactly what your work does but i get an idea.

you probably,if i got it right, have arranged all the DC equipments for ships and you have reworked some 3d models like the one i see at the following pic,right:


but , i am looking for something more 'simple' . i am looking for a better 3d model - texture for the barrels we see underwater:

does your mod changes these simple barrels to something more detailed?
if yes, can you make a mini mod for importing only these barrels in game?

ps:about your mod,seems that you have worked very hard for it, and it will be very nice to present it here in english.
are you considering make a version for gwx,nygm,wac,lsh3 ? i really would like to test it

[padi]

I would like to create the new models for the different Depth Charge Types later when I have learned it because I have to learn everything in Modding from begin on.

First I would like to perfect the mod for the ships now implemented because I would like to create the perfect ASW-Mod.

Then I convert it to other supermods. But you only have to change the .eqp-file if you want to use it in other supermods.

@makman,

there is another model of the barrel-type DCs in the guns_uk.* library that comes with some of my ship models. The 3d model is by Alex, I re-textured it a bit. Also, I transplated it into DC_R_KG.* library for private use:



If you like it, send PM.

@padi,
Jeff hint is great. I use his idea to reduce the file size of my ships since a while.
If you do not have GWX at hand, just check for boats and optical instruments, such as air spotters, of Isaac Sweers.

Nice 3D model Mate!!


And the idea for re-useing 3D models is in the original SH3 files.
I just took it further.

If you want the file and don't want the full GWX let me know.

Alex did the 3D model ...

... at the time we completed the HDML model (never published at subsim, as requested by Alex )

Adrian is a Richard.

He knows it. I know it. You know it.
That's why he's a good friend.

Padi,
are you still working on your DC mod? I got version 1 and wonder if there are newer versions out there alrdy or if this project was abandoned?

That would be very friendly from you. Thanks!

And after I understand that I will rework my files.

@padi:

Remove all the repeated 3d models, leave only the 1st one; copy the ID of that model, go to "linked 3d model" of the repeated models and paste the ID into the "Model ID" box; repeat that for all instances of the model.
Happy modding
