[WIP] Fort Drum, the concrete Battleship

That worked, thanks so much for the quick reply!

BTW, what was it originally modeled in? I want to bring it into Blender. TBH I'm not modding for SH now, I'm modding for War on the Sea (Killerfish Games), which is a pretty great WW2 tactical with strategic overlay naval simulator - surprised there isn't a forum for it here.

Having OBJ or FBX would make importing/assembling it a lot easier...

It's in .obj format. You can get the diferent 3D files inside the Documentation folder.

But bear in mind that it's a very basic 3D model. I'm not a profesional 3D modeller. Only learnt a bit to have my favourite ships inside SH4.

Thanks, I didn't think to look in the documentation :-) It saves a lot of time doing scratch stuff and is super appreciated. I will probably add some stuff to it. We have a lot of cargo ships and some warships from SH3/4/5 imported into WotS by various modders (incl me).

There are no 'fortifications' in WotS but we think we have a way now to add some, albeit sea-only forts (the game engine currently refuses to spawn any interactive assets on land.... baby steps). I'm going to build Maunsell forts for our forthcoming "Battle of the Atlantic" mod and will then revisit the Pacific theater and do Fort Drum. I was looking for models of forts and saw your Fort Drum

We'll certainly credit you as the original model author when it is released. If you want a website or anything tagged in the credits LMK. It will be awhile we get back to Pacific but when I see something interesting I like to get ahold of it before I forget where I saw it ;-)

Cheers and thanks again!

It would be nice if you added Subsim forums, since it was a team effort with other members helping a lot, specially astvitaliy1982 with the new land patch where the fort stands.

Be sure you give JapLance proper credit if you get it fixed-up for a WotS mod.
