Yeah, that bridge texture does need to be changed. If Cdr Gibs doesn't mind doing the UV mapping, then maybe he could fix the bridge to use part of the superstructure texture.

AG124, I use your included NYGM zones on your ships... as I said it could be just blind luck that I've had the rsults I did.

Confession

- Because I'm impatient and want to be able to use your ship already, I've blatantly stolen your preview image of the ID page and made a useable tga out of it. I got rid of the zones etc. and also made a low contrast version to make it compatable with the GW manual.

Ok, I've tested the ship multiple times in multiple missions now with good results. I've had all manner of sinking types and all in all the ship behaves in pretty much the same way I would expect any stock ship with NYGM to behave.
No problems at all.

Since their have been no reports of a CTD, I plan to make a 1.0 release today. First, I have to try to get my video capture card working for unrelated reasons, and then I will post the ship on my FileShare page.

I do know about the sinking, as I live in Newfoundland.

In fact, there was a guy one of my Political Science classes in university who had dived on the Rose Castle last summer. The wreck of the ship (and of the other three sunk there - Saganaga, Lord Strathcona, and PLM 27) has been badly damaged by careless salvors who used explosives to remove anything of any value.

bigboywooly · 05-06-06, 03:24 PM

yeah saw you were from Canada so guessed you would know about it

aint that typical of the selfish few to ruin them for others

well have downloaded the Rose Castle and installed

have just began a new career thru sh3 commander so will let you know how it goes and if I see one

Am using the .scr of the wolfpack campaign - as iam in that - so hopefully will come across one - have seen your coastal tanker and converted whale ship not the others yet tho

keep up the great work just wish i was clever enough to do one myself
