Help request with Ship modelling

JP, I use Blender's edges splitting modifier and I have no idea how to do the face separation with other programmes

Blender proved too complicate for me to use. I stick to Misfit Model 3D, which is quite simple, but does the job for me.

I use Blender only for edge splitting ... otherwise too complex ...

The Italian Capitani Romani cruiser has just been uploaded.

Just resurrecting this to let you know that the links to the files containing the ships in this thread will slowly stop working, so if you want any of these ships now is the time to download them.

Nice to hear from you again.
I hope things are all for the best.

Uploaded the files again. Updated links available in the first post.

Hi JapLance


First a huge thanks for the work you've done for the conversion to SH IV of the three Regia Marina ships (Montecuccoli, Bolzano and Romani).



I try to rebuild part of the italian Regia Marina for SH IV, using SH III converted ships I can find in different mods, or that coming from SH III, like the ones you have converted. So thanks one more time for your efforts on the Regia Marina. Thank to you I could put 8 more ships in my italian armada.


I 've reworked all the textures to make something more details, more in the SH IV render spirit, and to do something homogeneous.


Sadly, I can't use them in SH IV, due to the problem of the famous Ro.43 Seaplane that come with the Bolzano and Montecuccoli cruiser.
I can't manage to find this file, look in the Soviet Waterway Mod and in the BFB one.
So could you help me to find this file, and show me the folder where I've to put this file to make the Bolzano and Montecuccoli work?


I've also a problem with the Romani, that appears all black (without texture) in game. The 3D work but I've no texture. I've check the .cfg and the .dat in s3D, everything look ok.

The file has the same config than the Aigle's one, and the Aigle work perfectly (big thanks also for this one )


So I hope you could help me on that stuff.
Thanks

About the problems with the Italian ships, they were built with WDAD and The Med Campaign in mind, so those are probably imperative for Bolzano and Montecuccoli to work properly. Unfortunately, WDAD was made a suscription-only mod after I spent a lot of time in the Med campaign. Had I known it, I would have never started it.

Right now, years after I did those ships, I can't tell you what is wrong with them, but I can confirm they won't work with just vanilla SH4 v1.5. I will look into it, but can't promise anything.

I've also a problem with the Romani, that appears all black (without texture) in game. The 3D work but I've no texture. I've check the .cfg and the .dat in s3D, everything look ok.

I think I've found a problem that possibly made the first camouflage pattern go black for a few days when the ship enters service (in May 1942).

The explanation may be that SH4 uses months to select the version of the ship displayed (CfgDate in the .mis files), and always uses the first day of the month.

For a quick fix, go to the Roster, open the .cfg file for the Capitani Romani, and change the start date of that first texture from 19420514 to 19420501.

I did some extra work on the ship model after release, so maybe it's the right time to change the version and at the same time fix this small glitch. No spectacular changes anyway.

Thanks for pointing out the error .

Here's the link for the new 1.1 version
