it's right: for boats need a separate own depth charges, with realistic small stock of bombs. I'm working with it.

Your model looks good!
Only the boat MAS has a feature - it has the external torpedoes which haven't been hidden in apparatus. while I don't know how to make these torpedoes disappeared at startup. Does anybody have ideas?
Now I try to research Particle Generators, but it not too quickly.

Nevertheless, this is an interesting topic and the MAS-boat is good. I will take into account it. Thanks JU_88!

Textures are complete:


PT Boats weapons: PT Boat Depth Charge Mark 6 and Type C Release Track
>

First tests of model:


Depth Charges and machine gun work



PT Boat Mk 8 torpedo model
>

Need to modify the torpedo firing. and still to be done smoke generator (smokescreen).

Regards.

Thank you for beautiful work - some of the best models I've ever seen on the site! How many vertices does your Vosper boat have?

" it has the external torpedoes which haven't been hidden in apparatus. while I don't know how to make these torpedoes disappeared at startup. Does anybody have ideas?

If you find out how to do it, let me know. I need to model a UB-I submarine for my mod, with torpedoes that stick out from the bow. I don't know how to make them disappear after they are launched.

This looks awesome!

Is there an Elco in the pipeline?

Elco? Why? as is known, he's already in the stock SH-IV. Or you want to he was redone? .

Yes, I am interested this issue too. Then could be done a mini-submarines with external torpedoes. Ok, sure.

I remember just before separation of ready-to-S3D model, it was the Total number of 11-12 000 polys (triangular). This after cutting out the superfluous and optimization. you can see, already.

I chose a white color of the smoke to create a smoke screen, according to the photos and materials




some screenshots




Work with Particle Generators and the creating of a smokescreen effect is complete. Release - Check the first post.

I had originally thought that you meant playable PT boats.

I was kinda thinking of the Subsim PT Boat contest and the work that the guys over there have done. If you were planning on a playable Elco....

I guess I misunderstood. An overhaul of an Elco would be pretty...but not necessary.

You're doing beautiful work on your other models though and I'm excited to see where it goes.

fithah4, look the first post downstairs there is a downloud.

That's all right. perhaps this is my fault too. I only recently figured out. This topic is more suitable for the section "SH4 ATO Mods", because I was doing everything for SHIV U-Boat missions. Sorry, "I opened the wrong door". I almost brand new up here, my english is bad, I'm not sure what all I write, and all I read - I understand correctly, I'm just learning. But I try to study quickly.

I wanted to make more variety of torpedo boats in SH IV (not controllable player). In addition I wanted to make in game their influence and behavior more approached to the plausible. In a original add-on game everything is very poor with it: having met the PT-boat it is possible to shoot easily it from a deckgun, or if there is no deckgun - to dive and quietly to go away on a depth. It is very boring. While in reality PT-boats could operate against submarines in the coastal areas. they could be armed with the anti-submarine weapons, depth charges, start up torpedoes ... They could arrange more trouble for submarine (player) than it was in the UBM SHIV add-on game. All this I tried to add for PT-boat. In addition to that I was interested to implement a smokescreen effect.

Vosper - is the first result. Unfortunately, I have not tried fashion playable boats in the SH, and I can not imagine what it looks like ( the simulator PT-boat on simulator submarine.?).

I like the torpedo boats. Elco, Higgins, Schnellboot, Mas and others - each interesting - and it would be great to see all the historic types in the game. what will be after Vosper in the next project? - yet I don't know. Probably I will return to this subject and we will continue, but later.

Thank you all for your interest, suggestions, and support!
Best Regards!

That's quite alright.


You're doing great work...but when you're done you should look at helping the guys in the contest thread do the Elco. I know they needed some help with modeling.

Do you mean this contest thread: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=193766 ?
I a bit looked screenshots - are very good models! Only I do not understand: a that project is suspended, completed, or in progress?
you can write to me about problems and what is needed help, my mail is open.
furthermore/

I have this high poly model of ELCO (not my production), taken from foreign colleagues





If need it just drop me a PM.

============================================

Now is my next work that I started long ago and with long intervals returned to him :

It's all in how you do the animations/timing stuff.

Greetings, Privateer!

What kind of animation do you mean? Where is it located? Can write more detailed?
If is possible to make disappearance of a external shell (a torpedo, rockets) after a shot - is would be great.
