Modding Help...

[Insert Witty Name Here] · 07-25-08, 08:21 AM

Ive been playing Silent Hunter 3 for a while now and thought it`d be nice to add some of my own models to the game, ive modelled a nicely detailed Japanese mini-sub specially to add to SH3 but im now a bit stuck, does anyone have step by step guide of how i go about adding stuff to sh3 or perhaps something like SH3 modding for dummies??

Im not aiming to make the unit playable, i`ll settle for getting it up n running in game at least untill ive a bit more experience.

I don't know if you're familiar with SH3ditor, but take a look at this.

Hope this helps.

This link is also a SH3ditor tutorial on cloning playable subs.

From my limited understanding you could clone a sub, rename/remap it, and then replace the model with your own.

Note: this is on the SH4 forum, but should work with SH3.

Welcome Witty ('cause it's kinda long to use your full name)

Wellcome, Witty! It's good having another modder here!

If it's nicely detailed?
You may run into a poly count problem in Game.
A higher end system would probably be ok.
But lower, border line systems may CTD.

Thanks for the info, i think i should have it up and running in-game in a few days.

Heres some shots (renders), its 43000 polys approx so it should be ok.

Great work, Witty!

Could we see a Midget U-Boat (Seehund or Biber) in the future?

Interesting, anyone making a Japanese submarine campaign? :hmm:

This could be a nice addtion...

if this small sub should be a playable unit, a remake of the interieurs will be fine...
