SInce I was doing some 3D anyways I decided to edit the plancking under the steering wheel, add an inside wall to the tower etc.. not that you'll see all that anyways, then I'll have to do a new texture....

better uv map kaidai tower
 

I made a brand new uv map with bigger pieces, the only thing is I don't have a good riveted steel texture...

lost periscopes
 

well I don't have a clue what happened there : the periscopes weren't working on the kaidai, so I cloned the working Jyunsen B tower, changed the 3d model, renamed it, re id it, and launched the game, now all is workable, i'll move the pieces tomorrow ;)

Moved the deck gun back to front where it belongs, new tower in place with interior modelled and a steering wheel,

only one AA gunner when at action stations ? :damn:

Here goes version 2.3 of the Jyunsen B , Kaidai type 4 and Kaichu mod.

Now both Jyunsen B and Kaidai have detailed conning towers, with steering wheel and hatch inside. refer to first post for pictures.

need new skinjob
 

well now that everything looks ok, but for the two sticks protruding from the Jyunsen B underwater, I guess I need a new skin for it ;)

Do not be fooled by the current brown metal skin, if changed it could look something like this :

which basically says that the maps and stuff are all right, jsut need a nice skin ? anyone ???

do you see her evil eye ??:rotfl:

You are going to wear that sub out. Hey, need to PM you and no space.

Peabody

It's a large sub ;) won't wear out that easy, I got to play a bit yesterday and wiped out a convoy of 7 ships just north of the Coco Islands :)
finished off two of them with the main gun :)

btw I cleared some messages, no I have some space ;)

keltos

What is the range of this sub?

as found on www.combinedfleet.com :

Jyunsen B2 type :

the B3 had slower speed of 17.75 knots and a range of 21000 miles at 16 knots.

I modelled the Jyunsen B 1 type submarine, but I just noticed (thanks to you Peabody) that I only gave ot a range of 14000 miles at 16 knots...

I'd like to make another sub like the C1 but I need 8 torpedo tubes forward...

btw just tried the kaidai in game, had to crash dive to get it to submerge, will check the .sim.. other than that it worked fine :)

periscope depth problem with Kaidai 4

I couldn't get to periscope depth when playing yesterday, I modified some values in the . sim, uploading new revised version 2.3 as I write.

It obviously didn't like that the surface weight was 1720 and submerged 2300, too much of a difference I guess, so I lowered it to 2000, and it went to periscope depth when ordered so. :D

I also checked the range and speed both surfaced and submerged (see above post for data) so it would be historically accurate.

texture problem with Jyunsen B
 

I forgot to rename the xxxT01copy.dds to xxxT01.dds, silly really:oops:

I made a new simple texture for the whole hull, it is available for download for those who want it (just slip it in the Jyunsen_B directory to replace the other t01.dds), I plan to work on it some more, I want a green hull for the submerged part and a gray one above water, but not so factory fresh !

http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/2...a314ffadf0.jpg

If anyone has textures to share (red hull with rivets etc...) I'd be happy to get them, still without color pictures of the japanese subs I don't really know if they had it red or green (I only had the green texture).

DXT5_NM XY 8 bpp | using DXT5

is the option that finally worked ! I drew a few white lines on the texture shown above, saved it using dxt5NM and voilà :

so now I can work on a real new camo skin for the Jyunsen B :D:D:D
