[WIP] Pearl Submarine Base

Nauticalwolf · 04-27-08, 08:25 PM

Hi all,

With calculator and graph paper in hand work continues on the Pearl Harbour Submarine Base. "Ever wondered why in a game/simulator about WW2 submarine warfare you start your missions from Pearl Harbour - from the Naval Yard"

:hmm:

May I present The Pearl Harbour Submarine Base WIP

Based on 1940s photos:

Work Continues:

Mapping work Completed - Mod will include Supply Depot to Southeast of Battleship Row.

.dat files renamed and re-id'ed
Some harbour traffic re-routed to allow for the Sub Base and Sup Depot

Southern section of base pretty much complete

Construction continues on the Eastern side of the Submarine Base and the Supply Depot:

I don't know how to use 3d modeling programs so this work is all being done by number crunching through the dat files.

Mod should be out shortly......might change a few more textures first :hmm:

Very nice work. I had been looking at maps of Pearl and trying to figure out where the sim had us starting and where the sub base was in relation. You are closing a major gap in the sim, thanks.

Respectfully Submitted;

Can you correct the Mare Island Naval base in the Trigger Maru addon after this?

"Can you do this, can you do that, can you..."

Sheesh, people, let him focus on this project instead of bombarding him with all your little personal requests!

Very nice job, BTW, Nauticalwolf!

SH4 has got a new modder and it with your latest projects and now this, it looks like it's a good one

nice work.

@Gimpy I have been using alot of time trying to optimize the FPS in harbours, try download PE3 to see it for yourself

Thank you all for your comment.

Thanks Mikhayl, I am getting quicker at it as I go along, doing the maths for angles, positions etc has really got the old "grey matter" going.

Gimpy, once I get through with the Sub Base I already have had my eye on a few adjustments for Forde Island and hopefully these should help with frame rate.

Thanks LukeFF

I'm really glad the bases are finally getting getting some polish, and Pearl Harbor is as good of a choice to start with as any of them. It really is a bit of a downer to load up a career starting from Hawaii and not even have the submarine base modeled at all.

Keep it up, and I look forward to seeing your work progress!

Nauticalwolf · 04-28-08, 03:26 PM

LukeFF, again thank you

JetSnake, just quietly I have already been collecting ww2 aerial photos of Manilla, Freemantle, Brisbane and Dutch Harbour. But I thought I'd see how Pearl turned out before getting too ambitious.

Nice work!

kylesplanet · 04-28-08, 08:18 PM

Really looking forward to this! I wish I could offer help but I'm a dummy on modding.

I appreciate everything all of you do very much.
