OK. Solved this. It appears that the M01 is not allowed for merchant ships. I have to write S01 instead. Good to know.

Most merchant ships have M01 nodes and they work well. Just check the equipment files ...

You use a rather vanilla version of SH3, right? Consider that the original gun library used textures of the ships (the "normal"--"complete" thing). That caused plenty of problems and has been eliminated in the modded versions of the gun libraries.

P.S.: The imported Liberty cargo looks fine. You did it

Results from tests :





Bad edges splitted effect, in particular on the propeller :

... the V&Ws had much in common with the Leader destroyers ...

Meaning: I am thinking from time to time to prepare an all new V&W model. Unfortunately, there a plenty of options what to do: only the original V&Ws or also the modified 4.7" version, the WAIRs, the LREs, the SREs ... the ones I like best are the WAIRs ... so, probably only those ...

Let's see.

Kovall converted the SH5 model. It is basically an upgraded SH3 model, with still not fully correct hull and superstructures. And the camouflage on the AO map is an USN Ms. 31/32 scheme ...

Very Nice! Very good to know your future plans.

Final test : air attack during the night. All is OK. I think she's ready. I've deleted external storages.

Testing new cargo !

 

Here a cloned Liberty without cargo, note the waterline's position.

A few commnets:

- Liberty cargos had steel but not wood deck.
- Deck planking is always longitudinal. You changed the deck texture from steel to wood, right?
- Liberty cargos did not sport colourful peace time scheme, they were all grey and few even carried camouflage.
- Undesired edge effects are common with the SH5 models but that can be adjusted. Did you manage to get rid of the undesired hard edges?

Yes, I read that, and I'm about to correct this.

No, original texture (I just changed the color to something darker).

I don't know how to do for yet. I have to learn !
