Looks still very good!

Hi Rongel,

a few days ago I've checked Trevally's barrage balloons, and they need their UV mapping to be redone: as it is set now, only plain color textures are possible.

Besides this, some edges of the 3d model need to be hardened or bevelled, in order to increase their detail level. This is a job I can do in 10 minutes. The hard part is the UV mapping indeed.

Oh, okay, I have no experience in 3d modelling, I just thought it was a basic thing to put the texture there. Maybe you can do the whole UV-mapping thingy too?

I've tried redoing the texture mapping with wings 3d, but that program is not very good as it comes to texturing models. I can give it a second chance anyway, maybe with blender.

Nonetheless, like you I am more a photoshopper than a 3d modelling expert. I think BIGREG is the one with the best skills for remapping those balloons.

Hi

Send me via PM the .Obj with the texture and tonight I will take a look for redo it

I got the native files (in blender and obj formats) from Trevally. With his permission, I can give you the link.

It would be perfect if you could give them a left/right symmetrical mapping, for both, balloon and fins

Do you want me to do the bevelling/hardening job that I mentioned in my previous post (see pictures below for an example) before you redo the UV mapping, or you can do it by yourself?

Hello to everyone

first of all i want to say thanks to every man who is contributing to make this game a masterpiece.

I have a question :
I tryed last sober's mega mod, but i noticed the merchant traffic was totally absent. I encountered some burning PT boat and some freezed destroyers. The port were empty. So i tryed to install OH II full at the end of the sober's megamod (ver 22-08-2012) and the merchant traffic respawned, but i had CTD and sinking ships at port....where do I mistake? where, when and how exactly do i have to install OH II full instead of the base and the enviro version?

TY

this reminds of something I intended to post actually.

I found a semi-correlation between missing traffic and upgrading sensors at the start of your campaign (there is a 360 degree upgrade available right away when you start new campaign, even if you haven't finished the tutorial).

Not sure how connected it is, but every time I have upgraded the sensor - my traffic was screwed up...

not sure why there was no BBs in the first pic - could it be that the weather was bad and you could not see them

The burning boats - this must have been a collision at some point from when the units were drawn on the map (you at 30km away). Them when you load a save - all the AI damage is reset

Thanks Rongel - I will add this to my patch list

Yes please guys, any improvement would be great
Please don't look too close at the model - it was my first attemt

ctd at port - this could be a mem issue or the game is looking for something that it can not find (this happens when changing you mod list)

Changing from OHII base to full should be followed by a career restart as all campaign items (eniron in this case im sure) need to be written into the campaign files that are made at the start of a campaign and are saved in your doc lifes.

You can use silentotto to fast forward to any campaign if you do not want to do them again.

Re:taffic issues

The traffic file for full and base are the same - so it cant be this

I suspect it is when you start a campaign - all harbour spawn points are triggered on the first day. This will result in a lot of traffic until they reach their destination (seversl days).
Now the traffic will not spawn again intil the cooldown has run through - this can be anything from 5 to 20 days.
So this could result in a bare patch (day 5 to 10?) until the spawn rates can pass enough time to balance out (a few weeks).

Moin Trevally,
definitely not! Before this screen i sail from the 8th October to the 12th around, across, just everywhere in Scapa Flow and there wasn't any contacts! No merchant or destroyer! I'm no kidding, 4 days without Save/load, without any ships. Just those funny torp boats!

I'd tried it two times to get into Scapa, without Save/load the same funny burning boats alone!

The first time save load, i do in the middle of the tub, save status no damage, then load i start with 4 wounded officers, 17 % shell and three destroyers had me on the lens!

As i say, the memory thing sounds logic. Have the sober list, by 4gb RAM. Everything is fine, but it could be that in this point memory is running out of space

Must look for turnip and upgrade my memory

TY

which Port

Scapa? Then save load after you reached the subnets area!

The freezed destroyers, in this case above, maybe stock ships!

Sorry for my inappropriate joke, but to my problem it would fit.

Better after bevelling

Okay I'll send you the edited files as soon as possible.

@ Trevally,

wich one of the files you sent me is the latest version?

Is it okay for you if I separate fins from the main model, as suggested a while ago by Privateer, in order to optimize memory usage? We should be able to assemble the again once inported in the dat file.

Hey trevally, if you want, I could try to edit the crew storyline.
They definitely won't say what the subtitles say, but its better than nothing.
It has something to do with editing the scripts/AI/crew files in the respective campaign folders.
If you could then sentence mix crew dialogue, smooth it over, and assign it as the related sound file in the scripts/AI/crew files, that would work.
What I am proposing is to simply change the subtitles as a stop-gap measure.
So, what do you say?
