GUPPY WIP - Page 2

ETR3(SS) · 07-19-09, 10:25 PM

Outstanding! This will be in my mods folder for sure when you release it.

Congrats!

Sledgehammer427 · 07-19-09, 11:30 PM

GUPPY II Boats added, all 24 of them X_X

Still a little smidge of editing needs to be done with the bow.
then its off to get new textures, with no free flood holes.

then, final betatesting, perhaps with some new numbers :wink:

I can add the texture Coords so it can be easy to add numbers, too, make like 5 different boats with numbers, add them to the pack

EDIT: Numbers are working! We will have USS Cutlass's tower Numbers for your average one, or should I make just a normal unnumbered one for the Release?
with numbers in their own JSGME installing files?

Another edit:
Need your help guys, my tower texture is too dark, and after my bow modification, the texture for the hull is gone. even though it's showing up in S3d.
doublechecked everything, tested it in another mission, still gone.

That would be a good idea to have them installed by JSGME

I had a long beautifully typed out response to you Robins, but then I found out that Cavalla isn't a GUPPY boat. Got this info from the boats website itself. So the hull design of the Cavalla isn't a good example of a GUPPY boat at all.

Royale-Adio · 07-21-09, 12:27 PM

The Cavalla is not a GUPPY, or at least it was supposed to be. In fact, the Cavalla is a modified Gato-class submarine. It was fitted with a snorkel and a bow sonar under the Fleet Snorkel Program that the Army had set up, because they realized they would'nt have enough money to modify all of the desired subs to GUPPY. That's why it has a strange rounded bow.

Sledgehammer427 · 07-22-09, 07:25 PM

okay, just tested the campaign and its ready to go,
the hull textures still aren't showing up, and I don't know whats wrong,
I could release the sub NOW, with a working tower texture,

or with any luck, someone would know whats wrong and help me out.

most common occurence : the sub has one uv channel only or the sub has a new model but no new O01 map.

The AO map (.O01) is a generated shadows map, the game can't compute shadows in real time so they are applied as any texture would be : with a texture map (-uv1, -uv2)

they are exported from 3ds then imported using s3d with the .obj model.

if you change the 3d model, the previous map will be wrong for the new model, then you get a black ship.

3ds allows you to compute a new Ambient Occlusion map (tutorial here :

Aha! And a danged ugly non-Guppy she is too! Is that the ugliest submarine bow ever made or what? OK, so that's a Frankenstein's Monster submarine, not a Guppy. Anyone have some good pics of a Guppy?

Never mind. Check out the Guppy III USS Corporal, SS 346 and friends. Now THOSE are beautiful boats! Note that they are NOT based on U-Boats.

Guppy III! Wouldn't be a bad way to go. They look downright exotic!

Sledgehammer427 · 07-23-09, 07:51 AM

Kelt, thanks for the info, I'll get started on that tonight

and RR, GUPPY III's are next

I just need a good side view of the atlantic tower to get started, and I can prolly have it done in a few days

gimpy117 · 07-23-09, 01:09 PM

actually the guppy program was inspired by the U-boats...

Task Force · 07-23-09, 01:21 PM
