[WIP] Wolves of the Kaiser:1914-1918 Mod - Page 30

ruferwynton · 11-23-10, 08:44 AM

We want to extend seabattles for bf1918 a battlefield 1942 mod!

We already have ships, but we would like to have more.

Are here some 3d-artists who would like to share their models?

Here on of ours!

The Helgoland model has been given to you; check your PM for the link.

Thanks for your offer.

theschell · 12-03-10, 05:02 AM

Looks like things are coming along nicely

iambecomelife... got a question for you... i lost my archives of ww1 ship parts that i'd sent you when my compy died a few months back... if you still have them i'd like to know about getting copies of them sent back to me... if you are willing... let me know please?

theschell · 12-03-10, 03:58 PM

just a quick note... i'm not sure if you wanna spend some cash on reasources... but i recently bought a reasource pack from a site that had a huge package of pics, personal eyewitness accounts etc for the battle of jutland... also had full maps of the battle and even postcards of each of the ships in both fleets that took part... was fairly in-expensive at about 10$... would give you alot of the kinds of info you're looking for... if you want a site link i can provide it... was a huge package and might be quite usefull in your work on this mod...

Admiral Von Gerlach · 12-07-10, 01:31 AM

remarkable ship list I, are they finished for the sim yet? or is that a working list? it is very impressive. With that, you can do most major periods.

theschell · 12-08-10, 01:35 PM

hey there admiral... long time no see.... i hope all is well

It can't hurt; let me know what the link is.

And I tried again today to find your ships; once I find out where they are hiding you will get a PM.

Most haven't been started; some of the ones that are about 80% or more complete are:

-HMS Invincible
-HMS Mary Rose
-HMS Orion
-HMS Cressy
-HMS Defence
-SMS Moltke
-SMS Helgoland
-Light Collier

Some of these are likely to be redone due to inadequate detail and issues with S3ditor. However, with the Merchant Fleet Mod I found that after you got a critical mass of "good" ships, the mod practically built itself. Also, many WWI ships historically had the same parts; 6" guns were common on both armored cruisers and battleships. Most British BB's and BC's had almost identical tripod masts. No need to design each part from scratch - just make a "library" of parts and reuse.

Right now I am working mainly on interfaces and playable units (subs).

Admiral Von Gerlach · 12-09-10, 02:37 PM

Wonderful! I can't tell you how pleased and happy I am that you are making this mod, WWI has so little representation in the world of sims.... and your work is great to see. If you need deck or ship details i may be able to help you as i have been studying the Imperial High Seas Fleet and the Grand Fleet for many years and have commanded both in engagements for the Naval Wargames Society in the UK, and in waterline model engagements of many kinds and also have been working with a WWI mod for Destroyer Command called Iron Seas that modeled most of the major units but much less detail. I can dig for info for you if that will ever help and mostly want to cheer you on..for making a long detailed mod is a huge task.... but in this case worth every erg of energy you can put to it.

A remarkable effort! I had photographs of many of the ships you list inherited from my grandfather who was a commodore in the US navy and was on the Armistice Commission that was in charge of disposition of the High Seas Fleet at the end of the war..inluding bombing tests carried out on allocated german ships by the US airforce....sadly they are in San Diego and I am in Colorado...but as time goes by i may be able to get to them

Carry on and thank you so much.

ps remember German Torpedo boats were painted black often for camoflage but not always....

if you do the Scharnhorst class AC it would be great to be able include a surface ship mod that might allow us to do Coronel and Falklands

Admiral Von Gerlach · 12-09-10, 02:38 PM

Ahoy Chris. I am ok, had another major operation which resulted in my being in drydock again and in builders hands..hope to get to sea again soon.

theschell · 12-11-10, 01:22 AM

Sorry to hear that Admiral... i hope you have your sea legs under you again very soon... you have my best wishes for a speedy recovery and a return to fair seas

iambecomelife... the link is http://www.battle-of-jutland.com/ ... lots of reasources there... and the reasource pack is what i bought... it's massive... photos of ships, stats and information (tonnages, armaments etc), maps of the major actions... tons of eyewitness accounts etc... i was really impressed with it... money well worth being spent and i just got it for my own personal collection of reasources... but the whole site is full of good information...

Admiral Von Gerlach · 12-12-10, 08:33 PM

The Royal Navy also has a fine archive and they are very helpful, they have helped me a lot with charts, plans and info on several occasions when working on ships or doing battle plans...

I hope you're feeling better.

A surface component is indeed being considered, but considering that a beta for the sub component alone is maybe 1.5 years away (at least) don't expect anything exciting for the near future!

And yes, it would indeed be interesting to recreate Coronel. I have a great interest in British armored cruisers, and I would love to design the "Monmouth" and "Good Hope" (as I posted earlier, the Drake class, of which G.H. was a member, is definitely slated for inclusion as a submarine target). With proper interiors for the pilothouse and a couple other rooms it could be an interesting ship to command.

As for the submarines, about 3 days ago I decided not to use HMS Undine as a basis for the U-20 and U-35. I tried using the "USS Brooklyn" as a parent instead (turned out horribly) and then decided to redo it from scratch.

I got off to a good start - only to lose it all during a crash while playing Warband.

Today I restarted the U-35, making sure to save my work, and got great results ingame. A smooth-looking hullform with low polys, and miraculously, no flickering/shimmering. Now I need to rework the stern and texture-map the whole thing. I may keep the conning tower as an integral part of the hull, because there will not be any CT upgrades for the U-35 during the war.

Pics are below (many details still need to be included). The model on the right is the U-35 from "Shells of Fury", which was only used as a reference - no parts were "borrowed".
