Subsim Higgins PT-Boat Model contest

Good images of the left and right si.........
OOPS!! Port and Starboard sides will help when doing the textures.
I'll UV map it so it looks correct.


I'll be gone for a few weeks myself but I'll use a Motel computer, when I can, to do research until I get home or stea.. I mean borrow... a NoteBook.


I'm pretty sure what I'm thinking will get the roll-off torpedos.
I also think I can get the DC's to do a roll-off.

Oh... those Rocket launcher do a fold out right?

On a side note, anybody know anything about sound editing? I'm planning on recording the engines so I can insert the sounds in the game.

What needs to be done to insert them (the engine sounds) into the game? Is there just the default engine sounds in the game or is is possible to link a new file with this model?

Adding sounds is a simple process. Work the dsd file and add the sdl stuff and your good to go.
Of course S3D will handle all that.

About, time, or is this a april fools joke, that's why I waited to post, a pt campaign would be great, I worked on that pt 109 mod that was floating around in here and got it too work, torpedoes and all, but couldn't get rid of those butt ugly 20 mm tubs, figured out how to get the 40mm off the bow, that always made me sea sick. well good luck

Nope. Real deal. A campaign would be cool. Gualdalcanal/Solomons or Philippines (44-45) would be the best one to do. Go get your seabag Yubba and come on board.

I spoke with nikimcbee on the phone today.


My understanding is that We are going to create a playable Higgins that matches the PT he is involved with in real life.


There's alot of areas that help will be needed in and I have waved any rewards offered.
(That means I will not accept rewards so they can be given to those that assist if they want them.)

I am re-installing SH4 to test the Alpha PT and do some special animation work as a start.

3D work is also under way for a better visual in all areas.
If there is a need for anything special?
It will be created.

Could you share your adjusted files?
It would make it much easier to work on the torpedo roll off animations.
