GUPPY WIP

Sledgehammer427 · 07-17-09, 01:05 AM

Okay, I started This a LOOOONG time ago and now with my oodles of experience gained through SUBSIM, I'm taking another go at it.
The tower Model is mine, and can be done up by a child in minutes, but it is a start and it's already in a Conning_GUPPY.dat, with proper texture coordinates and everything (Keltos you helped more than you think, thanks buddy

)

There may be more editing done to the actual Gato hull done later, But right now, I will just use the normal Fleet Boat Hull, Supposedly a GUPPY

RELEASE CANDIDATE ONE IS OUT!!!!!

Using Mikhayl's excellent playable units tutorial

EDIT: Just did a multiple year stress test, to ensure all of the towers will stay there, confirmed 41-45 towers

Next issue is the brightness of the tower texture, It should be fixed, but I can't make any promises

Wauw! Do you know how many times I have tried to do that without success?

Finally a real guppy and even my favourite version with that tall sail

Is it downloadable yet?

Great work

AVGWarhawk · 07-17-09, 07:25 AM

Yuppie a Guppy! Can we designate her SS423?

Oh, bag the cannon on the stern.

captgeo · 07-17-09, 07:28 AM

Can not wait for the release of this Mod,

Rockin Robbins · 07-17-09, 01:53 PM

How about the bow streamlining, ala Cavalla? To be a true guppy a boat had to have the bow skin change. Several boats, such as Kraken, were half-guppies without it, but they were not considered to be guppies, even with the tall streamlined conning tower.

Task Force · 07-17-09, 01:55 PM

Sounds like a great mod.

guppy also had no deck gun...

AVGWarhawk · 07-17-09, 02:16 PM

The Torsk is a fleet-snorkel conversion. Guppy has full blow change in bow as RR suggested.

ETR3(SS) · 07-17-09, 02:27 PM

I don't recall Rickover being a DBF kinda guy.

But on a serious note I was just thinkin about this the other day and wondered why no one had attempted it yet. If you need any help I'm more than glad, I've made a few breakthroughs myself with the 688i mod.

Sledgehammer427 · 07-17-09, 02:50 PM

@ETR3, I'll Keep that in mind.

@AVGWarhawk, bagging the DG now, gonna make a couple versions, a Gunslinger version for those heartedly bound to their DG, and a full-on GUPPY for the fanatics.

@RR and everyone else telling me to streamline the bow, I based the version you see here on the GUPPY IA conversion, basically just a barebones conversion to a slightly faster submarine.
Don't Fret, though. I AM going to start work on a GUPPY bow after I get the tower textures all worked out

EDIT: Guppy bow is a little bit of a pain, so I won't deal with it for now.
My prbolem is that the tower textures aren't bright enough, so they alre always dark.

Rockin Robbins · 07-18-09, 01:31 PM

Take your time and get it right. Just looking forward to some scary fast underwater speeds!

keltos01 · 07-18-09, 01:59 PM

so we will need a Cold War mod after all

good job

keltos

Sledgehammer427 · 07-19-09, 09:00 PM

I messed around with a Type 18 bow for a while and came up with this.
t's overlaid a gato bow, which is what the submarine GUPPY model is

Donner · 07-19-09, 09:15 PM

Beautiful!

Looking forward to cruising around the Seven Seas with it!

Sledgehammer427 · 07-19-09, 10:22 PM

as have I

the bow portion has been successfully "welded" to the forward hull section, still looks kinda strange to me, but now I get to add all the GUPPY I series Boats!
as soon as textures, the .sim file, and the campaign (cause thats what made me famous around here

) are ready, it will be released

a three day mod...okay, almost 4. awesome eh?
