[WIP] Conversion of AI Subs from SH5 to SH3

rowi58 · 10-18-10, 06:59 AM

Hi folks,

using “privateer’s” wonderful “Exporter Tool”, it is possible to extract the OBJ from the GR2 files. Thanks again, “privateer”

The next steps are AI subs from SH5. First one, ready to use within SH3, is the British “U-Class” submarine (Undine/Umpire):

Second one – still a W I P – is the German Type VII A. The DAT file is nearly completed; the other files (SIM, ZON, VAL, DSD, CFG, EQP, SNS) will follow. The first test shows: this boot is willing to swim. The picture shows an older state in “S3D”:

Thanks to “skwasjer” for his great “S3D” too. 3-D-operations were made with “wings3d”.
Release will follow as soon as possible. Both AI-subs can be used in Stock SH3 or any other “Super mod”.

Greetings

Thanks Rowi!
Have they AI torpedoes like SH5? Would be a nice adition to SH3 ships, PTBoats and Planes.

Hi coronas,

no, in the first step they will be "simple" AIsubs. But may be some time. A "Virtual torpedeo", as "sergbuto" did, is possible.

You said they want to swim? You mean they can dive? Or what is the meaning of that?

Hi Hitman,

no, it is very easy to explain. As you can see, the picture of the "U-Class" is an in-game screenshot. For the "U-Class", i used a clone from another AI sub.

For the Type VII A, i build up a completly new DAT file. In "S3D", the boat looks fine, but without the other files, i didn't know, wether it could "swim" in SH3, that means if its behavior is like a normal ship/sub. So i build up a provisorily SIM file to see in SH3 if it could "swin". That was the meaning.

Greetings

Think of ID conflicts due to inproper cloning !
