I think them should continue to develop silent hunter 6.

Why?

After buying SHIII/SHIV/SHV and seeing so many issue's in all release's that are not being fixed by UbiSoft. I, for one, will not buy anything from UbiSoft ever again unless they do something to regain my trust.

I decided to open this again and not fill OH II threads with the imported ship stuff

.

So some news to those who might be interested in this. I think I found out what causes the frozen flags. I tested this with only the new ships (no other mods) and found out thatif I edit the ship's dat file and remove the "Unified Render Controller", the flags won't freeze. That makes some sense to me, because it's a SH 4 controller and SH 5 doesn't seem to like it very much.

I used Trevally's tip to test this issue, so I created a custom mission with a convoy 100 km from my position coming straight towards me. That way the ships are spawned the same way as in campaign. Again, the flags were frozen every time. But when I took the controller out, they have been working since.

Bad thing obviously is, that the ship loses it's textures in the process. So I embedded the ship textures but they are still missing the lightmaps and the other eye candy, ships look very plain now. I can't remember if we got the ships to look good with embedding the skins before...

It seems to me that only way to get working flags with imported ships is to build them differently, which is obviously quite a big task.

So can anyone make a good looking ship without this cursed controller? If we get that working, these ships are almost ready in my opinion. Calling modders to the rescue....

Being that useing dats is actually redundant?

It's only a matter of how much the solution is wanted and how soon.

Hi privateer,

do you have a solution for convert to gr2 files? I also have some SHV ships and in my opinion is not the frozen flag the main problem. I can live with it, because it´s not often occurs. It´s much more important for me that I can´t bring there to cast shadows. And I see the gr2 parts of the ships (crew), do it.

I do have the information and Tools to do anything wished with GR2 files.
I have requested help from others to move forwards on this.
Let's see if they are willing to take my offer.
