New Unit Available - H8K Flying Boat (link inside)

iambecomelife · 09-11-05, 10:15 PM

A little something for our Japanese allies. Now they're not totally devoid of aircraft. The H8K is cloned from the default Sunderland and does not interfere in any way with the original units. It's fully functional, JSGME compatible, and will attack Allied shipping using the divebomber AI. If anyone else is working on other Pacific units, let me know

.

Some shots of it in action:

(Btw, the top picture has the final version of the nose turret glass).

Excellent! Great job iambecomelife! Do you mind if I host it on my cloning site as well?

We will yet populate this game with all of the units that existed!

Go right ahead.

Great work iambecomelife!

Do you have plans on clone the B24?. I realy need it for the HT mod to do the late war air attacks on ports without interfere with the modified B24 for RUB/airpower mod.

Rubini.

Hi Rubini....I cloned the B24 and it can be gotten by following the link in my signature.....

Great stljeffbb1!

I need to read the forum with more attention...

Is he (b24 clone) alright? What behaviour did you put on? (dive bomber or drop bomber?). May I use him in HT mod?

Rubini.

stljeffbb1 · 09-11-05, 10:48 PM

Hi Rubini.....my B24 is an exact clone of the original (so it is still a level bomber).....yes, of course you may use it in your mod! I will run a quick test in the Flak Artillery training mission to make sure it works ok, however, I can say it worked fine in the Museum and did not cause a CTD when I clicked on the original.....

-Jeff

Rubini · 09-11-05, 10:56 PM

So, I will delay the release of the new HT version until tomorrow to enable this new jewel in the HT mod...

I will contact you in PM to we discuss some matter about your B24 clone, thus we stop this off topic conversation.

Hello iambecomelife...I had a question about the Japanese roundel....do you simply add a file like "CRM_Japan" (or whatever it looks like, I'm at work!).....and then will the game find the roundel based on the country entered in the proper spot in the MIS file and the plane being in the roster?

I guess what I'm trying to ask is, does the code have the directions to look for a roundel based on country by default? Lets say I made a roundel for Iraq, and then used the country name in the text files.....does the program know to search for the "CRM" (whatever it is) file that says Iraq?

Thanks, I hope this makes sense!

The game automatically knows which marking to select as long as it corresponds to the data\roster folder. In your example, you'd need to add Iraq as a combatant first, but as soon as you did the game would know which marking to select. Just make sure the names are the same - for instance, if I'd named the emblem "CRM_JapaneseMrk.tga" it wouldn't have worked. Only "CRM_JapanMrk.tga" would work, since the Japanese units are in a folder named "Japan".

Looks awesome, Great Job!

Question: Will it show up in the 1.4b stock Campaign in the Pacific or do Japanese Air Bases need to be added?

iambecomelife · 09-12-05, 11:39 PM

You will need to add Japanese airbases for it to show up. To my knowledge none of the mods have them.
