Here's what I did for bolts on the 12 pounder.

I was pretty much thinking along the same lines. It will have to be as low poly mesh as possible.

But I want to start with a pretty

Do a high poly model then low poly it.
Do a norms burn and the low poly will be fantastic if one looks at it in Game.

Aside from maybe a cool screen shot? Not many are going to really zoom on it often enuff to make the issue lesser then the model.

@ privateer

awesome work on that gun

@ Targor Avelany

Re bolts and nuts: what about using the same mesh for each single bolt, linket to the main model through dummy bones and prt file?

The Mission Objective marker is no where near Bear Island.
I am unable to launch Crew from Marker area.
I waited at marker for 3 days game time.
If I go to Bear Island I am unable to lauch Crew at island.

Please advise!

The area is 10km radius that you should drop off your supply boat.
Ensure you are inside this area - come to dead stop on surface and goto bridge. You should get an option to launch supply boat.

I will add this to my list for checking for the next patch.
Any firther info would help.

I just encountered the same mission problem noted above; the indicator icon was about 500km SSW of Bear Island and the description was as above (Deliver meteorological supplies).
I went to the location shown on the above map near Bear Island at dead stop and no completion, so I was heading back to the indicated mission marker thinking that maybe if I come to dead stop near the marker the mission would complete.
When I was near it I encountered a convoy and after sinking one ship I got skill points and an Objective Complete for a Patrol objective.

I'm thinking that the bugged objective mission is not the Bear Island drop off as shown above, but that there might be a Patrol objective mission out there with a description that incorrectly has the same as description as the Bear Island delivery/drop off.

Could that be the case?

Here is the only mission I could find in the area you suggest?
can you show your save game?
here:-

C:\Users\User\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\SaveGames\0000000a\Campaign-2010-03-11_1458\CampaignMission.tsr

your save game number
your campaign start date

I'll see what I can do. My problem is atm is doing spikes - trying to decide how thick they should be and what type base: round or a bolt shape. Both have their challenges in implementation on a round surface. I also have been extremely short on time (more then usual)

, so please accept my apologies for the delay.

Hi,
this would be the latest under
\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\SaveGames\00000007\Campaig n-2013-10-24_2221

The CampaignMission.tsr shows:

Code:

[Text]
Patrol the specified area=New patrol area assigned. Reposition and continue operation
Fail1B=Reposition to new designated area. BDU
Fail2B=Reposition to new area. Be more aggressive. BDU
Fail3A=Cease all operations and return to base. BDU
MissionBriefing=Patrol the specified area
MissionTitle=Patrol the specified area
Reposition and patrol the designated area=Reposition and continue patrol operations
Patrol the designated area=Patrol the designated area

Screenshot before completion

Screenshot after complete

Hope the information helps!

Starting at post # 4135, TheBeast quote reference states OHII v2.0. We are at version OHII v2.2. Is the problem occurring for other fellow captains at v 2.2?

I did not spot the version OHII v2.2 references without having to compare other files or the pictures being shown.
We are waiting patiently for version 2.3

Trevally. Take whatever time you need to do it right.

If you need any type of help with the skills I got, please let me know.

Katze · 11-07-13, 07:44 PM

I should have included, running Open Horizons II_full v2.2, yes.

On a related note, I noticed the South African flag is upside down when viewed in-game, and wasn't sure if it was a stock image until I just noticed it in the OH 2.2 data folder (\data\Textures\TNormal\tex\SouthAfrica.dds ).

I flipped it vertically for my own use but would be another minor thing to correct for the upcoming version 2.3. I never would have noticed but running my latest campaign at full realism I'm trying to ID ships before blowing them from the Atlantic and had a tough time finding it was from South Africa as it was upside down and the orange band looked like red to me.

Thanks guys

To fix this should not be hard - the hard part if finding the correct mission.mis file that is wrong. Looking that the save game tsr file did not help, but it was worth a try

next attempt should be to scan the mission folder with a text editor looking for any files with "bear island" in it.
Text-crawller is the one I used to use as it can scan subfolders.

the folder that needs to be scanned is (not at my games PC so guessing here) data/campaign/campaign projects/missions/artic convoys

so if anyone has some time to try this and identify any .mis or .tsr file that has bear island - that would be great

Thanks for all your hard work! Looking forward to the next version. Do you have a list of expected new features? I noticed the talk about external cargo and the new mines / balloons; anything else?

Trevally. · 11-08-13, 01:12 PM

here is my to do list and update log:-

Code:

add gaps balloons
cargo ?? see rongel

I will thin the minefield out - all those groups are in 50s.
Only ever 6 or 7 groups within render range at one time = 350 units.
Not to bad
I will change them to groups of 20 - less than half.
If I adjust their spacing - the need to avoid is still there - without the fps drop.

Looks awesome; I look forward to the airplane gun fix and fps fixes for Kiel and minefields.

That's stock SH5 though.
