[REL] Aces' Super Turms v3.0 & Multi-mod Compatibility Fix v1.2

[SquareSteelBar]

Good news, mate

[Aces]

Hi chaps,

I finished the up/down radio antenna bound to the SHIFT+A and CTRL+A keys. What I'd love from one of our gifted 3D modellers is a circular base to the antenna with bolts like the one shown in BUKER's picture to plug the dirty great hole in the conning tower that's there at the moment as the antenna's much slimmer than the original. If possible I'd like this as a seperate 3D model that I can lightmap and not a part of the existing turm model as this I cannot lightmap as I can't fathom out how to just lightmap and exclude Privateer's turm your way objects.

Off to bed, tomorrow's another day

Cheers

Permissions? credits?

[Aces]

Hi Anvart,

I haven't released anything yet my friend, I was intending to ask your permission and to give your credit of course.

Best Regards

Aces

Edit, BTW, after I release my latest mods I'm going back to solely modding for my own pleasure, too much politics here on this forum for my taste it's like navigating a minefield.

I know what you mean. Can't balme you if you feel that way. You did a great job so far, and SH3 never looked sweeter.

It still blows minds me whenever i see the Water dripping in the CR!

Really looking forward to the UZO stuff. It bugged me since Day 1 that the UZO was left on the Tower. The Sailor who left it should have been fired looong ago!

From what ive seen the actual radio antenna should look more like this:



this was based on various blueprints and a 1:35 scale viic tower model, no guarantee either is 100% correct though!

Look superb thanks mate, If I'm going to raise and lower it then the circular plate at the bottom should be a seperate model (or part of the turm model) I think and the rod passes up/down through it to it's maximum height. So two models one of the plate and one of the antenna would be pretty perfect IMO and then there remains the large hole in the left side of the conning tower where the antenna is seated at present.

I am trying to learn Maya, it's a steep learning curve though.

Best regards

Thanks for your kind words chaps,

All I'm trying to do is get as many things working together as possible. To this end I am adapting/using methods and aspects of mods. I take no credit for this and have gone to great pains to give all credit to all concerned with the the production of these mods. I decided that a "fix" mod would be a more flexible and simpler approach than a combined mod as new mods appear all the time and mods get updated etc.

I'm very happy that everything is now pretty much working as intended and delighted and appreciative of the help and assistance I have recieved from many of the mod authors who have taken trouble to produce exciting new stuff and adapt their work to facilitate the combining of mods such as Flakmonkey's excellent Lightmap tutorial, the new antenna model he has kindly produced and for producing the 3D turm models incorporating his external lightmaps and Privateer's "Turm Emblems Your Way" which he has kindly given permission to incorporate.

I do this work, like others here, because it interests and excites me and I hope that it is enjoyed by others, that's it plain and simple , nothing more, nothing less. I've long wished for a "Super Turm" with Flag, Pennants, DF Antenna, Lightmaps, Emblems, twisty periscope etc. and this has now come about thanks to all those involved and now I hope and believe that we can take things even further with the new radio antenna etc..Then there's the matter of fixing as many mods to work together such as the Waterstream Exhaust combi mod, Urfisch's mod, Lifeboats and Debris etc. etc..

Best Regards

Aces

Edit @Flakmonkey,

I found this information on the radio antenna(s):

"W/T An extensible rod antenna for transmission and reception of H/F is also occasionally fitted. It is mounted on the port side of the bridge, and, when fully extended, stands about 20' above the conning tower (fact)."

"VH/F. A rod antenna is used, about 4' high, on the port side of the conning tower. It is presumably dismantles, when the set is removed before operational patrol."

I Assume it's the latter one that we need

Yeeeeees, please, get on sharing your marvelous work.
Listen, if you come to visit Switzerland, I offer you and yours a cheese fondue in one of the best restaurants here. Think about that, it's a good reason to keep up your good work...

Take care

[Aces]

Thanks for the encouragement chaps,

Hi Lopo mate,

Thanks for the offer, us Brits can be very boring with cheeses, my OH like Chedar whilst I've got more cosmopolitan tastes in cheese, to paraphrase Monty Python "Fetch hither la fromage de la belle Suisse!"

Cheers

Thank you for your work.

[makman94]

well done job Aces

i have one suggestion if you don't mind.....

once you are taking all nice things for turm from Tespilot's sub why don't you import also these nice ropes from its sub ? there are by far nicer than anything else and must ,imo, have them at your 'super turm' mod

keep at it !

bye
