(REL) Warships retextured v 1.3 (for sh4 1.4)

[ustahl]

Anxiously waiting for more.
Will you eventually improve merchant textures, too? I hope you find time.

Just a suggestion, portholes look terrible in this game, how about correcting the size and postitons of them if yer up for the challenge.

Hi Miner,I have plenty of work to do on improving the textures for wood and steel and bumpmaps, liferafts and so on, so I will leave that issue for someone else to work on.

Hi Kriller,
Just wanted to ask. If you look at the conning tower of a sugar boat there is a hatch on the side, if you line up the camera you can see through the hatch to the other side.

My question concerns the limber holes in most of the subs particularly those at the very front and around the dive planes. The limber holes were designed to let water in to aid in diving, at the front of the boat where it is at its narrowest I wonder if it is possible to mod the limber holes at the very front and around the dive planes so that these like the hatches on the side of the conning tower can be seen through

Its not a big deal but possibly might look a bit more real than just a black circle trying to look like a hole.

Do you think this could be possible. I would try it my self except I dont know what program to use to view the textures in the game files

Regards
R

Hi Rascal
I think it's possible but I wont work with new skins for subs, because foofighter has allready done a great job on that. The reason i am working with the ships textures is because nobody else have done such a mod and the stock ships textures and bumpmaps could use a little more detail, sorry it took so long to answer this, but Crysis is taking my time at the moment that's allso the reason why the new carriers are not released yet! Will look into it SOON (tm)

kriller, have you given any thought to re-doing some of the camo schemes for the ships? Here's a great reference for American ships, if you're interested:

Got to ask, what's the difference between the older 1.3 version and new 1.4? I haven't patched yet, but general concensus is that texture files aren't affected by the new patch. Can I use any of your forthcoming work with 1.3?

I have removed the dat-files which modified how high the caustics are reflected on a ship,so now it's only textures so it should work with both patches.

I hope you like the new portholes Miner

[miner1436]

You rock!!!

[LukeFF]

Kriller, your work never ceases to amaze me.

Can I ask you a favor for the Yamato model? Could you please add the chrysanthemum to the bow?

[miner1436]

You can get an idea of the chrysanthemum from the Kuma.
