[REL] Ship Conversions SH3 merchants to SH4, Beta Release

[tater]

Helps a lot, thanks!

Some of the new ships while really cool have nothing even close in the real japanese merchant marine, so i might expunge them from that traffic.

The texture of the hit ship twinkles and flickers. That always happens at imported sh3 ships. This only happens if the ship is met. Who knows advice?

Because SH3 ships have crack models...?

Germany ships can be added to game rather easily now I see, however will take a few to get the set up ready as not to CTD with 1.2

I hear these will be on the ocean in a campaign. If so, that will sure add some VARIETY.

Maybe we can sink some Kraut ships over in the eastern area. Excuse being, they were in the Indian Ocean. We know that. And maybe we can have a few Nazi tankers loading up on the IndoChina Southeast Asia oil. Optional for those of us who can play a hypothetical game.


Maybe the SH4 game engine can't deal with any more enemy nations than the Japs. I don't know. Though i hear Thailand was on the Japanese side of the war.

I am interested in trying your mod Merchant Power Pack V1 but I used the link and found mutiple files. Am I missing something or does one download all the seperate files and install seperatly ?

It's the one listed as ships1.0.7.z (22.27Mb). I think the modder should rename it so its easier to find (I just guessed and assumed it would be the largest of the mods size-wise).

I suppose you have a point there....when Im done updating the Merchant power pack I will post the same name...sorry for the confusion.:hmm:

It's very nice btw, however all the damn 4 letter acronym's are confusing the heck out of me. I feel like I'm dyslexic or something when going to the recog. manual!

Did you add the names to the Names.cfg file after installing the package? This is not done automatically, as it would mean that the current file would be erased - thus, when new ships are released both for SHIII and SHIV, modders (including me) usually provide the entry for the appropriate .cfg which is then entered manually by the user (using any work-processing program). After this is done, the lettered names shouldn't appear in the game itself anymore - those should only normally be a concern to the program itself and to modders.

BTW - They aren't necessarily acronyms, as some of them don't really stand for anything.

Thanks, I'll have to look into it (just figured this was a JSME install).

Hello jm.

I still trying... :|

I bought new graphic card. Nvidia gf7600gs (O/C her to GF7600GT - SHIV works with this beautyfully! and fast ) . Previously I used ATI Radeon 9600. I have installed Your mod with hope that new card and resolution will help... and... I still have no textures on new ships converted from SHIII. BUT!...

I installed mod with HMS Repulse conversion from SHIII to SHIV copyrighted by Warhunter... and.. it works fine!!! THERE ARE TEXTURES!

I am really disapointed of one issue: i can not install english aircraft carrier Illistrious

Anything new what can be a problem with textures?...


Thanks jm for your work and AG124 that is still in here

The "N" class destroyer which can be found in the "Ship Power Pack 2 Updated" can also be used for the Netherlands, not just Australia, as the Dutch Navy operated two "N" class destroyers from 1942-45: Hr.Ms. "Van Galen (II)" and "Tjerk Hiddesz (II)".
