NOTE: I'm retired for X amount of time (see page 6), no more work.

Didn't I suggest this a long time ago? ;)

You can find your Americanized B-29 unit in my WWII mod, so you can reupload that. :D

I think I have that downloaded...
*checks*

Reuploading. :p

Very good thread... and handy too... now I just have to figure-out which Patton download is the chubby one.

They're both chubby but one looks sharper and is shaded. :p

I intend to add more to the library as I go on and add some eye candy and all that jazz. :p, so stay tuned.

I have your Lenin in my archives somewhere (planning to put him in, since you released him, but never got to it). I will find him.

Its alright Ref, I've got all of the Leaderheads but haven't reuploaded them.

Should edit that Lenin thing...(I have the module)

I missed that "Modular Lenin" 3 lines below the missed one :lol:

Added an awesome header. http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii220/dutchking101/awe-2.gif
Plan on releasing a Japanese Ki-10 as my next release, along with that I was asked to release the Battle of Britain HUD, which will follow.

nice bling on top post

Thanks moundraken. ;)

I'll add those shaders on your pharoh on the list after the HUD, then I have a He-219...
I should update that all in the first post.

She looks good so far Mound, good work.

Second that. Many modders really dig your stuff. :goodjob:
Missed that. :p Glad to know the hard work pays off. :thumbsup:

Well I guess you guys can make requests if you want. I'll put them on the list. You can ask for Airplanes, LH's, HUD's, Movies, Custom stuff for mods, etc.

Subscription.

I think I will need to steal borrow some of your files for my mod :)

Go ahead, that's what they're there for. :p

Glad you finally got around to it. ;)

Thanks. :p

Wasn't that easy either, all the links and jazz. It will be easier to update in the future...

[/random comment]

Depending on my school workload for tomorrow the Ki-10 is delayed to tomorrow or further.

Fancy header :p

You have to work on all that re-uploading now...

[Subscribed]

Thanks Chug, do you have one of these or did I miss it? :mischief:

Nope never got around to making one. :(

I'll take GM's job and prompt you. ;) Its rewarding after you're done.

But time consuming :p

All of my older units aren't any good, so I don't mind them being buried under a few hundred threads. :lol: A link to all of my good units are in my sig. ;)

(first REAL 3D render too btw.)

I made a Doolittle Raid "stationary object". If anyone cares. :p

I do! :D

Incidentally, the Hornet was not an Essex-class carrier, but a Yorktown-class. However, we don't have a Yorktown graphic presently. :mischief:

You sure about that GO?
The preceding Yorktown-class carriers formed the basis from which the Essex class was developed. Designed to carry a larger air group, and unencumbered by pre-war naval treaty limits, the USS Essex (CV-9) was over sixty feet longer, nearly ten feet wider in beam and more than a third heavier. A longer, wider flight deck and a deck-edge elevator facilitated more efficient aviation operations, enhancing the ship's offensive and defensive air power. Machinery arrangement and armor protection was greatly improved from previous designs. These features, plus the provision of more anti-aircraft guns, gave the ships much enhanced survivability. In fact, none of the Essex-class carriers were lost and two of them, Franklin (CV-13) and Bunker Hill (CV-17), came home under their own power even after receiving heavy damage.
I guess they're similar or something. *shrugs*

Looks good enough. Like the render? :mischief:

They're NOT the same class DK... it is what it is... they are differant carriers.

I really don't care, but don't try and justify that there's no differance between a Yorktown and Essex class carrier... Gaius is right.

Very nice render .
I love the composition and the colors :)

Thanks asio. :)

Wouldn't been able to do it without the inspiration of those tutorials you sent me. ;) (www.colacola.se)

:) Yeah tutorials are great - it helps to learn new things faster :)

I really don't care, but don't try and justify that there's no differance between a Yorktown and Essex class carrier... Gaius is right.


Yeash, for a change. :D You could probably get away with a reskin of the Essex carrier though.

I'm now making land units. :mischief:

I may start an "artillery factory" because it seems like a place no one's touched extensively. (I've got a book here with 300 pieces of artillery :p)

Yeah, well Smitty neglected to release his WWI artillery before he took off for the sandbox! :mad:

Where did he go?

Where did he go?

AFAIK, nothing was said publically. He did mention 'going to war' though, so that's a good hint to where he went. ;)

Yeah that might be a little hint. :lol:

Well best of luck to him then...

I plan to release some more artillery then get to my todo list. ;) Maybe release the Battle of Britain HUD first.

Battle of Britain HUD released.

I'll probably aim at the Ki-10 right now, and then some more artillery later.

Ki-10 released...

Moving on to some more artillery perhaps.

Quadruple post. :cringe:

I have added a new LaGG-3, totaling my number of air units to 19. I plan to make many more. :nya: Plus some artillery, maybe some tanks.

Well, if you want to do tanks, there are still holes (especially with Smitty gone, he can't claim "he's working on them").

There's no Italian/Roman heavy tank...
Answer: CA P26/40 (http://www.wwiivehicles.com/italy/tanks-heavy/p26-40.asp)

There's no Japanese heavy tank...
Answer: Type 3 Chi-Nu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_3_Chi-Nu)

There's no Hungarian tanks...
Answer: Turan I (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turan_I) and/or Turan II (http://www.onwar.com/tanks/hungary/profiles/pturan2.htm)

There's no Swedish/Viking tanks...
Answer: Strv M38 / M40 / M42 (http://www.achtungpanzer.com/articles/swetnhp.htm)

I'm more then willing to offer better pictures/more info on any of the above vehicles for anyone who takes-up the gauntlet.

Hmmm... :D

If you could get diagrams of the P26/40 like the ones that are on that page for the Turan II I'd be more than willing to make those tanks. :p

Hmm, tanks... gives me a few ideas, too! :D


America: T29
Japan: Type 3 Chi-Nu, Type 95 Ha-Go, Type 1 Chi-He
Italy: P26/40
France: ARL 44
Germany: Panzer I (definitely not a heavy tank! :p)


There really aren't too many Japanese tanks out there that I could find, partly why my Pacific scenario has so few. ;)

Gaius Octavius, seems we concur on a few things (Jap and Italian heavy tanks), but I think some things are a little more back-burnerish...

Japan: Type 1 Chi-He (Damn-near physically identical to the Type 97...)
Germany: Panzer I (we already have about 4,327 German tanks, why do we need more?)

There really aren't too many Japanese tanks out there that I could find, partly why my Pacific scenario has so few. ;)
If you want to suggest an interesting Jap tank, I might suggest the Type 89 Otsu... though I'd still rather see the Type-3 Chi-Nu first.

Japan: Type 1 Chi-He (Damn-near physically identical to the Type 97...)

A reskin of the Jap tank would probably suffice in that case, sort of like the Zero-Oscar syndrome. I never saw many pictures of the Type 1, so I didn't know. :p


Germany: Panzer I (we already have about 4,327 German tanks, why do we need more?)

For a rainy day? :D

Though something tells me if the Germans had as many tanks as we do for Civ 4, the war might have gone a bit differently...

Speaking of rainy days...
I have the entire week off and absolutely nothing to do.

Put two and two together.

... :-D

Here's a Type-97 (with new-turret which is what we have in-game)

... :-D

Let's see if you can beat Wyrmshadow's rate. :D (Remember to include 256 x 256 textures!)

So wolf,
We already have a 97 and you want a 1 and a 3? I can do that easily just by looking at them, minor tweaks and badda bing badda boom.

And GO, that's damn impossible... :cringe:

No way... I never asked for a Type-1... I think it looks too much like a Type-97 (which we already have)... Giaus mentioned wanting a Type-1, but I don't think he realized how similar it is to a Type-97.

What I did want/ask for is the Type-3 Chi-Nu... it has a similar hull to a Type-97/Type-1, but a much larger and brand-new turret.

http://gunsight.jp/c/image2/Type3%20tank-600.jpg

I also (as previously researched) asked for an Italian Carro P26/40 tank.

If Gaius wants a German tank, I might suggest the Pz-III (any model "E" and above)... it's the only major German tank model we don't have yet.

http://tanks.commander.net.ru/data/pzkpfwiii/5_big.jpg

Oh... and on the subject of Jap tanks and tweaks... you know what? I'm not a fan of redoing existing models, but the Type-97 we do have has the "new" turret (which is bigger)... I'd like to see the OLD/ORIGINAL Type-97 type turret... which is smaller (and more unique)... like this:

http://gunsight.jp/c/image2/Type97Mtank-600.jpg

If you want to take the original model and redo the turret (or start from scratch, whichever is easier), I'd be fine with that... or heck... make a Type-95 Ha Go tank... cute little buggers.

http://gunsight.jp/c/image2/Type95%20light%20tank-600-e.jpg

As you can see... there's still plenty of good WWII tanks which haven't been done yet... and with Smitty gone, the void is still big in tank-making model makers.

I'll get on all of it someday...

Just ideas I'm tossing out there... right now, my two favorites would be the Type-3 and Carro P26/40.

I don't know if you guys understand... I didn't just want "any German tank" (or any other tank from any other civ, for that matter). I had something in mind for the specific ones I requested. Now as for the two Japanese tanks, a reskin will do so long as they look sufficiently different to distinguish in game, but for the others models will probably be required. Maybe I could even attempt this myself with a little texture editing, but I have not mastered that just yet. ;)

I don't care what order they're done in, so if DK wants to do the Italian/Hungarian/Austrian/Blahblahblah tanks first, that's fine.

Hey DK

Looks like you haven't updated your list on Post #1 since April 20. Still making models??

Didn't you have a B17 unit? I didn't see it listed among your other air unit creations in Post #1...

Unfortunately, dutchking and GeneralMatt have both not made anything in weeks. GeneralMatt hasn't even been on in over a month, and dutchking has been busy I guess. We've (temporarily, I hope) lost two of our best unit artists. :sad:

Yeah, I have to finish up a list of airplanes GO asked for a while ago, maybe I'll get back to my old goals after that.

Well, windows got all screwed up (but mac still works, I have both on a mac) and I'm going to start modding again once I get a new computer at the end of the summer. I'm working over the summer and soon I'll have enough cash, then I'm going to get back to modding. (might even start LH making again :))

The good news is that I've fixed windows and my machine is fully functional, and I can reinstall BTS and get to work on more stuff.

Hey, uh, Dutchking... you goin' to reupload all those leaderheads, are you?

Yeah, eventually.

I have to get them all back on my PC through mods and stuff.

Okay, I've decided to put my American Revolution on hold for about a week or so until I can update all my air units with mostly new models and sometimes new textures (the B-17 is the only one updated right now). I'm also going to be enhancing this "info center" with screenshots such as:

Looks good so far as far as the shape is concerned... as for the red part of the lower hull, that's supposed to match the waterline, so it should be straight across at the waterline, it won't curve... but I know it's early, so you probably haven't addressed that yet.

Yes, I haven't. :p

I'm about to start texture work (which your complaint will be addressed in) and I'll post another preview later. I may have a little fun rendering it in Blender. (like I did with the doolittle raid)

Okay, this is the what the texture looks like SO FAR. I still have to edit it a bit then work some animation bugs out and I'll release it:

That's pretty good... not to nitpick, but isn't there supposed to be more separation between the two smokestacks? Did you team-color the hull bottom? It should be dark red, or if you're making it Soviet-specific, a much darker green (not bright green).

Hmm...

Well the separation between the smokestacks looks greater from different angles. :p I didn't team color anything, so I guess I'll make it darker.

I was just going by your own picture... seems the forward stack should be moved closer to the bow of the ship?!?!?

Maybe it's the angle, dunno... just seems they should be further apart... model making is not my forte'.

*shrugs*

I'll see what I can do..I have a lot of animation stuff to work out and some more texturing to do.

Okay, I've posted something that I started a little bit before the destroyer:

(more screenies @ thread+download)

very nice :)

That destroyer is looking very cool. :D

Thanks both. :)

Well there are two problems with the destroyer, one is that when I attach an animation the turrets go flying in different directions. :p The other is that it doesn't show up in game (blank civipedia screen) I hope to resolve those problems but if I can't I'll upload it as a still model and someone else can animate it.

Doesn't sound good. :/ Is it using vanilla animations, or modified ones? I can sometimes get it to work without having to worry about modifying the animations, just by preserving the rigging, and having parts (like the base for example) just attached to the main node.

Its just a vanilla destroyer with stuff moved around, the turrets are the only rigged things really modified. If you think you could fix it I'll send it to you. :)

Its not really that big, just 4 turrets kind of move off (a lot) to the side but fire normally while one other turret goes to the other side (a lot) and fires normally. :confused:

If they look similar enough to the vanilla turrets it would be easier to just use them. If they're a lot different then you may need to find a proper animator who can fix it. I'm not very good at animating myself, so I just improvise when I can. ;)

If you're having problems animating the turrets (which is quite common with custom ships), Coyote wrote a very specific tutorial on how to fix these issues right here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=271331).

Thanks for the link Wolf.

And chug: they're the same thing except a few of them are scaled down and a few scaled up. The bones aren't messed up or anything, its just some weird thing with rotation/positioning with animations.

No problem... I am probably the best-informed person who knows absolutely nothing on how to do this sort of stuff! If that statement made any sense to you, seek professional help, because you understand the ramblings of a crazy man. :p

did you scale them in blender or in nifskope? it probably won't make any difference though, if it's something to do with the position/rotation thing. :cringe: Reminds me of this time I added a beard to a guy's head, and when he turned his head his beard would stay behind for a bit, and then catch up. :lol:

I scaled em' in Blender, but that's not important. ;)

It has something to do with the animations and the positions of the turrets during, I think I'll be able to fix it with Coyote's tutorial.

By the way, I've redone the I-16, and I'm going to give it some more wings then turn it into the I-15 later on. The redone I-16 is the same texture except I've removed about 300 vertices and added gloss. I'll upload it soon.
EDIT:

The details are in the I-16 Thread with more screenshots and stuff.

Big fan of the I-16 here... definitely putting the new version in the Wolfshanze Mod (as-was the old version).

Glad to hear it!

I'll be working on the I-15 shortly, so expect that to be my next release.

The I-15 is done:

Yeah, so anyway.

I had a lot of time to think at dinner today, and I'm officially announcing my retirement. You'll no longer see my face on these forums. You can contact me at the multiple emails in my profile or at Civ Junction forums which you can reach in my signature. I'm tired of modding and computers in general, sorry if I let anyone down but it is my life.

For X amount of years, months, weeks, days, centuries, millennia, etc. I'm out. See ya guys, and remember: Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Save Dutchking!

Does this mean the destroyer is a no-go?

Wow... and I haven't even fought with DK in at least 48hrs... so I can't even figure it out. :dunno:

Well, it's your life... do what you want to do with it... you only get one life to live... spend it how you like.

Okay... that was rather sudden.

Modding does drains a lot of time and effort. Good luck with whatever you're doing :)

Just heard of your retiring announcement :(. All I have to say is good luck to you buddy, on your future journeys :thumbsup:

Semper Fi,

noble dutchking :wavey:

Okay, I wasn't expecting this over breakfast. Er, good luck with life, I guess.

Sorry to hear that you've stopped modding, DK. :/ I've always been tempted to give it up myself - but I enjoy it too much.

Unless you're just taking another break? :p I'll know that I need a long break.

@ NikNaks - Was you expecting it over lunch instead?

Hey Dutchking, I don't know if you're going to check this out. But I registered at Civ Junction, and it recognizes my PW and everything but when I try to post it directs me back to the login page, so I put in my info and then it asks me to click a link to go back to the forums, which I do. Then it directs me abck to the login page again, and the cycle continues. What's going on?

Are you going to reupload all of those leaderheads that got lost in the hack?
