Awesome work- but don't you ever sleep????????????

I had three of the triple 25mm and it takes them so long to turn that you have already been bombed and they shoot at the plane on the way back. They are REEEEAAAAAly sloooooooooow. And I tried to up the speed but they didn't go any faster. They are cool when three triples start shooting but they hardly ever hit anything.

so then you need 4 triple A's : bow, stern and both sides, so that whatever the direction of the incoming plane one can shoot ? :rotfl:

seriously, I plan to use all dual AA guns, I'd like 3, only have one A01 node and don't know how to set up a A02 and A03 node... help !

The deckgun is for the DG afficionados as this type didn't have one !:rotfl:

@Peabody : I'll look into your 3d thing, but I'll only send you the revised obj+mtl+uv2 then you'll have to see if it fits ?

There were flipped textures again.. so I edited the hull and fixed it in 3ds, we'll see what gives tonight in SH4...

this is a version where I replaced the 3d model of the Class T, just to check if the two holes present in the previous version and the lack of handrails were fixed, seems so.

also got rid of some residual tower shapes and wiring on the hull model.

I have now inserted back in the Type AM the dammage model of the Sen Toku, reduced in size off course :

Did you notice how there isn't anything for the tower ?

keltos01 · 07-05-08, 06:59 AM

Well, Xantro, I managed to import gun nodes from the Sen Toku using the raw chunck method in s3d (great tool that 0.82 cant't wait for 0.9 !!!!)

I also moved about the nodes using info from the reference system in 3ds, which is the game's, so it make placing stuff easier, but not perfect.

I edited the hull in 3d again cause there were openings in the hull on both sides just in front of the tower, those were "flipped" textures, showing the transparent side. I also flipped back the hand rails, a few davits, the deck gun base, and re exported it using channel 2 for the uv.

I edited the texture of the tower, darkened it a bit in photoshop, and did the same to the lightmap texture, so as not to have such a shiny tower.

then I made the submarine class dds file, reworked the original sub blueprint, and saved that, now this is how it looks in game at the moment (much better I think) :

Ok the stuff aren't in place just yet, but hey ! : 3 AA guns ! (third's behid the horn-schnorkel thing)

The deck gun isn't historically accurate as the I 14 wasn't fitted with one, but it's still a game isn't it ?

the bridge view is level with deck still, have to move it up and forward, here's the tower seen from the deckgun looking forward :

Don't you think it's got a Monitor look to it ?

The AA gun :

it's located on the front balcony in front of the Bridge and below, you can see the Catapult from there !

from the attack periscope :

Seen from the stern :

The 3d model of the screws and backplane and rudder have been changed as well and put back at their right place :

And there's also a new screen someplace, just gotta find it !

new sub name :

working with the alpha channel is really a breeze, and gets you nice results as well, so here :
