Sort of bad news, I had a leave request turned down!
Not to worry, the bosses still owe me a lot of time off work, so I will keep perstering ppl until I get to take some vacation! And of course vacation = modding! One important task recently performed - backing up ships to my online storage. So now if my computer is destroyed all the most important files for the mod will be saved.
Also been doing tremendous work with higher-detailed crew for ships, as the stock SH4 non-player ship crew look dated....now, AI ships will have crew based on the submarine crew models, with better heads and faces. I did frame rate tests and was satisfied it won't be a big burden.
Lastly, been starting work again on player units - collecting images of subs especially the big U-139 cruiser type. More images later....!
And thank u for that movie Bubblehead! Lots that I didn't know about that incident, although I had read briefly about it before.
