[TEC] Adding/Importing new units / SH5 Damage/collision models

The problem is that the shadow map is missing. Without a proper one, it will never completely resemble an SH5. I will do what I can to get it close. But, I cannot build shadow maps from scratch, even with it being a .dat format ship.

and what about the orignal one, i mean AOTDMadMax must have used a SH4 ship as a base... brb

ok... just looked at AOTDMadMax`s readme again:

"This vessel was created from the SH4 Troopship Horai by using Skwasjer´s S3D Tool, Pack3D and Wings3D."

maybe the Horai have a occlution map which is easy reworkable.

Excellent! If it is even close, I should be able to make it work. It will take a lot of work and time though.

Found the ship, and it has a shadow map. Will look into making it work tomorrow, gotta go get some sleep.

thank you for making it true, the textures should be ok or ?.... i dont know if i did the normal map texture right (bumps are showing with some kind of 3d effect, used nvidia normal map`s filter with custom settings)

...the version you got have also new bull eye`s, maybe you can add some leaking rusty water to on or two of them.

...ohh before i forget, the bull eyes render also for the aft side part of the ship, where normaly no bull eyes would be, this is because of the texture is repeating... i allready moved them a bit to remove texture parts showed also direclty on the stern.... i dont know but maybe it would be possible adding a blending texture to the dat file which is covering this aft side part of the ship, hiding them there

ohh just digged the link to AOTD_MadMax`s SH4 Ship Yard threat out...

you will also find his original and red cross version of the ship there !

...someone should also make versions with working navigation lights for both of them (Trevally`s), if they sail as neutral "single driver"

If you look at the cfg file for the C3 it has this line .
DisplacementVariation=5
Not sure what this means .
I vaguely recall some dev saying that cargo weight would be taken into account with SH5 .
