[RELEASE] Type II conning tower with open hatch - Page 2

postalbyke · 03-30-12, 11:37 AM

Yeah, dude! This was my second stop after finding a high-quality blueprint of the type IIA somewhere in google images. The interior of the conning tower was based on the panorama and the view up from the CR. I'm poking at doing an engine room/torpedo room for SH3, but it's a pretty big undertaking, and I mostly just love to play the game :P Modding is just a hobby for when I don't want to track tommies for mommy.

Yes,its crazy how things pop up in the internet and then you lose them in a flash.Whats crazier is how depressing the TypeIIa interior really is.When HAHD is done I might get sea sick from it.

Postal I have to ask,why mod something that is being worked on at this moment?This is where the SH3/Sh5 community confuses me.Why have a bunch of people working on the same thing when if you combine and distribute the work a greater thing emerges.Or maybe this is just what the game needs....competition.

Ok,just had to vent that.

I have been following HAHD since 20 Feb last year. It's almost the only reason I have a subsim account. It's definitely the only reason I started modding. At first it was just going to be a graphics mod for type II and some harbor equipment work, and that's what I wanted. Since then, it's grown significantly, and I grew weary of waiting for the type II work. So! I am creating a stopgap for myself until HAHD comes out (since it will be the better product). And why not share what i've made from other people's work?

So in short, I did this for myself, I'm releasing it for others, I'm waiting for what's better.

Seriously, have you seen the screenys from Hans' 3d editor? How can I compete?

Put your energy towards something better.

Sorry just my opinion.

Ouch,was drinking so take my words lightly.

You mod what you want Postal.....as if I am allowing you

I'll shut up now.

Looking good, thank's

postalbyke · 04-03-12, 12:14 AM

@Wolfstrike: s'cool, bro. you reminded me to look at the thread about modding from SH4

I had to remember to calm down before writing lol

@everyone else: Thanks for the interest, guys! I'm still gently poking this one, hopefully round three will come out before next month passes.

Anyone want me to get permission to use the torpedo room with this?

Rickster1 · 04-03-12, 08:48 AM

Yes please the more of the boats inside the better

Yes, you´ll find him here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=263029

But I´ve longer nothing heard from him...

Best regards,

Yeah, still no news there, so I'm withholding until I can get in firm touch.

As to the Conning Tower, I still haven't done any more work (been too busy playing the game

lol) just dumped three torps into the same coastal freighter with three torpedo failures (first patrol) after being caught on the surface by airplanes while pursuing damaged escorts (eleventh patrol)... early war is tough! :P
