[WIP] Wolves of the Kaiser:1914-1918 Mod

[rsslcs]

Quick question:

If this mod stays for SH4, will there be damage textures included? (i.e holes in the hull) and will ships be able to break up like in the vanilla game? Just asking, as some mods forgo this.

[Forensicman101]

Sh3 is a better game that SH4, but there are problems with SH3 stability in Vista. Now that Windows 7 is growing like a rash, I suggest you go for whichever of the two is most stable using that operating system - otherwise there's the danger that all your hard work will be for a game that only runs on an old & increasingly infrequently used operating system.

Hello IABL!

I'm very interested in this project. Have not done any modeling of the sort I see in this thread, but am pretty comfortable messing with code. Willing to learn use of these shipbuilding tools. Recently retired, I have plenty of time to donate. I was more of a hardware, training, and documentation writer at H-P, but did some code, and a lot of code testing. "If it is breakable, Mack will break it..."

I am redoing U-66 as a kitbash of the Type IXD2 hull. The conning tower, however, is still built from scratch. It looks a lot better but I want to have lots of progress before posting again.

The mod is still in its very early stages - only about 10% complete.

I will try to do famous liners like the "Olympic", "Britannic", "Lusitania", and "Mauretania". However, two and three funneled liners are the top priority, simply because they were more common. Still, I agree that seeing one of these famous ships would be very dramatic.

I still need good profile drawings for some of them - there are lots of plans of the "Titanic", but not many of the "Olympic" after she was re-equipped with enough lifeboats circa 1912-1913.

And thanks for offering to help, radiostryker - I will contact you soon.

Well, I put down Napoleon: Total War, & in the past few days a lot has gotten done. German officers' uniforms are coming along very well. The lower ranks' uniforms should also be completed soon.

I also worked on the basic hull form for boats like the U-9 and the U-19 class. I wasn't satisfied with the hullform I designed from the keel up, so I will probably use a heavily modified Type VII hull. The bulges along the side of the hull have been deleted and replaced with the long, flush "saddle tanks" that you see on many early boats.

WIP pics of the officers' uniform. An overcoat and peaked cap, with the Kaiserliche Marine crowned emblem over the brim.

The fleet boat interior, Pacific maps, and so on will be altered once I have the time.




WIP of the hull that will be used for early submarines, such as the U-19 and U-27 classes. It was made by taking apart & deforming an American "S" boat from SH4. The texture is an interim skin based on the SH3 War Ace Campaign S class skin.
