Thank you, Chris and jhapprich, for your contributions.

Regrettably, due to new professional commitments I will have to slow the pace of updates on this mod. The update I had planned has been postponed. However, I will do my best to complete WOTK in the timeframe indicated.

I was really hoping for an extensive update this month, including videos - unfortunately, I'm in no shape to mod after work. I wish I could but I just can't focus when I'm tired. The whole situation is very frustrating for me.

Anyway, here's a small update with screenshots, instead:


-Taking the U-9 kerosene-powered boat for a spin. The radar, of course, will be removed from the final version. The model also needs masts and smaller details. Also need a particle effect for white kerosene smoke coming from the exhaust. The gun barrel is from the 88mm I'm working on, but the base is an american weapon.



-Particle effects. The standard SH4 fire & smoke have always been a big sticking point for me, so I redid them. The flame shape is from TMO, but the textures, colors, smoke shape, and .dat file adjustments are all mine.
Two varieties of flame are shown; one dark red, the other pale. I think the lighter one is better-not sure if anyone has a preference.




-A destructible target you should probably leave alone. Then again, maybe you have a thing for blasphemy. Or maybe you enjoy reading Allied propaganda about "Godless Huns" when you get back to port.

Anyway, I need lots more props for coastal towns near the English Channel & North Sea. My plan is to use standardized, modular rows of destructible buildings to simulate these settlements. There will be a few landmarks, but 100% faithful models of towns aren't feasible. Even the smaller ports had hundreds of houses, etc.

Wow, that darker smoke looks... REAL

Looking Great Kapitan! here are more plans from some fellow naval historians ...

this time U 63 class plans WWI High Seas Fleet

dont worry about work, i am in the same boat...and understand totally. Just do what you can when you can.

If you let me know file formats you can use for buildings, i can get you some probably, and also what formats you can convert to what you need. I have access to hundreds of buildings in a number of formats. Many will be from that era for it is an era that I study extensively. Do the textures used in the SH series need Alphas? let me know via PM and we can discuss things i may be able to get to you including some civilian harbor ships like coasters, trawlers, small sail boats, and thames sailing barges.

PS two more photos from contributors...among naval historians...

one a very widely seen photo but this is a fine example with good detail... the other of the D 7 at full speed a nice fleet picture with the bow of a sister ship to the port...



and another...

Gute Arbeit!!!
