I wonder what happens if you increase the number of hull damage boxes from 3 to 6 by dividing each along the centreline?

[HundertzehnGustav]

that i wanted to avoid, because it makes things complicated.
because i asked myself that very question ^^
 

the ship will be split at the centerline...

Hello HundertzehnGustavnot
Thanks for your help .I just want to create a stationnary ship.But, this ship must be capsized.We have to see the hull, upside down.I do not need any animation.Actually I want to depict the USS Oklahoma as seen by the jap.pilots during the second wave attack.

In the FMB, pick up a static ship, place it in the water, press ENTER to see it closer and then press F6 or F7, hold it depressed, then rightclick, hold it down and move the mouse right or left. With F6 the ship will turn around the transversal axis. If F7 is depressed, the ship will turn around a longitudinal axis. Both ways allow you to turn it upside down and show the keel to the sun. It's very useful for damaged ships.

negative.
works in the FMB but when playing the mission, the ship upright again.
Puma, whet you need is a simple 3D object, not an entire ship with guns and custom paint and all that...

if you think that the hull shape and size of the ships that asheshouse makes is perfect for that, i think the most effective way would be to write him a PM, explaining what you are looking for with a picture and some references...
maybe he can take the ship you need, erase all its superstructure, guns etc (invisible underwater) and turn it upside down for you.

?

If you want to use the standard Battleship, or one of the big Cruisers, i think it would be wise to, ehm, import the standard ships into a modeling program, and turn them upside down, erase the guns from the hier.him and other associated files, and use that..

ehm?
(just some ideas, i dont know how that would work... but the tutorials and knowledge is written here at the SAS, so...)

[asheshouse]

If the model is to be capsized all you would need would be the Hull1 Hull2 and Hull3 meshes.
The other parts would not be seen.

Creating it as a new Stationary ship it would just need some class files to be created and a bit of editing of hier.him and ships.ini files.

Puma -- Is this the sort of configuration you are looking for?

[asheshouse]

Or maybe something like this.



Perhaps needs sinking a little further?

[EMS2/7_Puma]

nice, it s exactly that    not more not less... 

[EMS2/7_Puma]

on the picture, it s not the Warspite, no ?

perhaps sinking more yes with the Warspite.

you are a road runner ship's modder 

[asheshouse]

The first picture is USS Oklahoma.
The in-game image is Warspite

[EMS2/7_Puma]

so, you has created a new stationary ship or object ?

[asheshouse]

Its a stationary ship, made with Hull units having "strength_Invulnerable"
So they cannot be sunk.
