well, the flower CO has got a working bridge as you can see in the trailer I made a while ago. My upcoming V&W will have a similar one.
These bridges however won't have a steering wheel cause the ships were steered from the wheelhouse, not the bridge.
Small RN vessels AFAIK generally had an open bridge having not much more than a binnacle, some voice tubes and at the very most a telegraph.

mickey117 · 04-27-09, 08:36 PM

so did end havin a look jw??

but i mean the bridge aint gonna to drastic they were mostly just those compass things one of those wheels for the engine room and alot of them radio things lol

Update on what I'm working on at present; balancing armour values v shell penetration values. This is driving me mad, slowly, but most certainly mad.

I'll either give an update and will issue a ship mod pack later this week with the balanced armour changes, or someone will have to come and look me up in an asylum somewhere.

Shammer - if you arecleaning up textures for the playable ships, I suggest the following order; Scharnhorst, hipper then some of the British BB's. Bismark looks OK to me, as does Deutshland class. If you work on the British BB's - don't foget to change the render controller in the .DAT if you intend to use SH4 type textures i.e. with bitmmaps.

Ivan - not sure what you want me to do with the ships sent via email - none of them are intedned to be playable, right ?

Regio Sommergibile · 04-30-09, 03:21 AM

Waiting famelic...

ivank · 04-30-09, 05:16 PM

poly: None of those ships are to be playable, just converted, reskinned for convoys

Dear SWSM Team,

First-off - Thank you to all the modders that have put any time into this project, I'm sure it is much anticipated by many, and the community is what makes the Silent Hunter Series shine like no other Simulation.

Secondly; my apologies if this has been brought up already in this thread, but I see a lot of work going on towards models and features for the mod, but what of Gameplay? I believe there was mention of having historical battles/routes in place for ships in each theatre, or missions of those respectively...

I think what would be really interesting functionality (pardon my ignorance towards the amount of work involved for such an implementation) would be to have Allied AI-driven Ships follow you, either in missions or campaign.

The player would effectively get to play as Fleet Commander, the AI ships would stay in formation unless actively engaging enemy forces. Time compression should still work correctly with Allied AI - thought there may be an issue with "Ship Spotted!" notifications...

We can already implement "Fleet" situations by stipulating waypoint paths for the AI in missions - we could fulfill the Fleet Commander or Support Roles as desired - but I don't think currently there is any way to enable the ability to roam free with the support of a Fleet, or some sort of Force.

Again, my apologies if this has already been mentioned, along with other Gameplay/Plot descriptions. If anyone has tried this AI tweak- or has any ideas - or would like to tell me to read the thread better - please do not hesitate to reply

Keep up the Great Work Team! - I am building a brand new PC in anticipation of this MOD

Cheers!

ever since i have found this thread i have read it every week because i can not wait 2 play it, you guys are a credit to the sub sim community and look forward for this release

ivank · 05-03-09, 02:55 PM

thank you

ivank · 05-03-09, 05:30 PM

To TSWSMT:
How is work coming along? I need your work to continue mine. So as you guys finish ships send them to Darkfish to be made playable, then to Tomugill and poly for damge models

gimpy117 · 05-03-09, 09:40 PM

what if you used some of the code for the convoy defense game mode in multiplayer...might give you the fleet commander thing....

Sniper_Fox · 05-07-09, 08:47 AM

sorry if this has been asked already... Is this gunna be for 1.4 or 1.5?

DarkFish · 05-07-09, 09:42 AM

AFAIK 1.5 only.

I'm currently working on the V&W destroyer, and I've got one very weird problem. The V&W will have four deck guns that all show up in the equipment/upgradepacks tab. I've done this with other ships before, but never had any problem like this: no matter what I try, the playable gun is always the X mount (2nd from the stern, M03)

. I've tried changing node designations, order in the upc file, even deleted the whole X mount from the upc file while leaving it in the eqp file, but if there is any playable gun on that node the game chooses that gun to be your playable gun. If there's an AI-only gun or none at all on the M03 node the M04 node is used while I want to use the M01 or M02 node. I've tried about everything I can think of, anyone here have some ideas?
