[REL] Historically accurate 4-Bladed propellers for all Subs

skwasjer · 01-27-08, 07:02 AM

To swap the prop direction try swap the x-offset values of the nodes for left and right prop. Iow. you want to move the left prop to the right location, and vice versa. You'd have to change the pitch again as well though (either in 3D suite or you can try rotation -XZ?). This is a bit of a hack, but I haven't investigated if there are other ways to do this... Just an idea

I guess I could use S3ditor to do that, I could try and see what happens. Confronting stock game sh4 and the 4 blade mod I noticed that the propellers blades had the same direction, while they were inverted in the popular propeller fix mod (later included in some other works)...hope it works.

Thanks skwasjer...from the Olympus...a true Deus Ex Machina...indeed.

IT WORKS!!!

Just swapped the X Offset values in the nodes and now the propellers are fine.

Excellent idea skwasjer, thank you again.
