This mod looks epic. When do you expect it to be ready for public release?

When ASDG-Hatchet gets back. As of right now, no one has seen him in awhile. So don't expect a final anytime this year.

Well, I might just manage to get an update or model or two out before the end of the year.  B)
 
For those concerned, I have returned from my departure in dealing with some technical issues with the ticker. I'm back in good health now, and feeling better than ever (well that's not true, but still, pretty damn good). I appreciate the messages and wishes during my local trials. I'm pleased to be back tinkering once again in the Armaverse.
 
Regarding the Mk.V, I am currently evaluating what to cut/fix/update. It would seem most of the major issues from 6 months ago persist today. As unfortunate as it is, there still isn't a good reason not to finish her up. So, here is a quick list of what I need and intended to do here in the near future (couple weeks):
- Finish the custom FFV animations (tedious, tedious, tedious..)
- Fix the Technicians spot light (axis buffoonery going on there.)
- Finish tweaking optics on the new weapons ((twin .50's, and Stinger included) I also stabilized all the weapons, and the Mini-Typhoon will be available on 2 versions)
- Fix/Update the scriptfu (yes, you will be able to easily load/offload CRRC's, and even the SDV. along with an anchor system, and a couple other things.)
 
Things I've already fixed:
- PhysX model/config (tighter turning, little more aggressive in general. still a 38m long vessel)
- Fixed some ShadowLOD issues
- Tweaked the textures (especially the glass..)
- Setup the other two versions
 
 
In other news, the Nimitz class carrier is ready for paint and scriptfu (looking for a scriptfu master to assist (it'll be fun, i promise..)). There is still an issue with landing the advanced flight model helo's on the PhysX Carrier, but hopefully we can get that addressed via mass protest or something.

In other additional news, the Jack Up Rig like the Semi-Sub and VLCC, is almost ready for paint. ;)

(will post images when posting them here is not a royal pain in the arse...)

Until then, my Steamfoo: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198011363209/screenshots/?appid=107410#scrollTop=0

All great news. Honestly from an operational standpoint all she needs is the crrc deploy/recover abilities

Glad this is being worked on and progressing. Even more glad to know that your health is improved.

Sorry to hear about your ticker there Hatchet. Glad to see that you at least made it back and are able to work on these projects some more. Thanks for the updates.

I could probably work something out. ;)

Hey DarkSide, any support is welcome as I'm sure you are well aware.

 

I'm still really dumbfounded by the issue with the 'ShipX' class and the roadways. That is also a fairly major deal with the Mk.V that persists. I'll send some files to Dwarden on that though. I imagine that was an oversight type issue, as it is the only class affected. I have no clue on the ADV flight models though. It may be that I need to change the layering on the deck and perhaps put the physx lod above the roadway/geo lods.. that's a fair bit of stabbing in the dark though.

 

Thank you guys who sent PM's, I'm getting to them one by one as the day goes by.  ;)

Yeah, i just now submitted a tracker on the AFM to PhysX Lod issue. I meant to do if far earlier, but i've been putting it off, but got around to it. From what i've tested, it is indeed only the AFM that is affected in this manor. The flight model seems to just, sink through the Lod like it doesn't exist, of course, until the helicopter is completely destroyed, at which point it retains it's collision.

 

Here's a video i just made, I used an old LCS-1 Demo mod because there's not many mods with Heli Deck's, and it would take me hours to land on the MK V SOC using the AFM. XD (as you know, it's not exactly built for landing heli's... Though if you've seen my previous Youtube videos, you'd know i pulled it off without the AFM just fine. =D)

 

 

As for other issues that remain, such as ShipX Lod's being close together, BI has not even touched on the topic what so ever.

Awesome, much appreciated. That is indeed what I'm seeing also.

 

And I watched some videos! Very cool brother, honestly had no idea you were playing around with things so much. Now I'll have to have a go at that!  B)

Thanks. But once again, i have to thank you for the amount of detail you put into this ship. You set the standard high, Higher than Bohemia Interactive's detail in that regard, as you could see with all the things i managed to do, including shipping crates, and small vehicles without the use of scripts. Of course the man class problem remains, but other than that, this mod is the most interesting i've had a chance to play with. I can't wait to sail this thing around Tanoa next year. ;)

Good news on the health front. Glad to hear you're doing well. We don't have many water based vehicle assets, but this addon is of exceptional high quality. I'm very excited about the Nimitz class carrier. The model is looking very good and I can only imagine how awe inspiring it will be when you get it fully textured and in game. Will it feature a lot of accessible interiors? Atleast with the new EDEN editor it'll be easy to place objects on it, heh.

Thank you for the kind words. The superstructure on the carrier is fully modeled. Granted these grabs were before all the piping/lighting/tables/chairs/boards and foo.https://gyazo.com/aca49913e7245cbbce7018de29260470https://gyazo.com/ea83fffc4623a5b9e072c1aeb3a6b62ehttps://gyazo.com/33c88dfb0f64a8fce9fcb1cf99d52643

Should be plenty of room for things and doing.  ;)

 

Some extra foo regarding the Jack Up Rig for those curious. (I should really start a thread for the Offshore Project ... soonâ„¢)

The AI work, granted across models is still not 100%, I've sent several out to the ends of the cranes. I try to build things to their level of stupidity. At least regarding pathing. Functional for sure.  ;)

Sweet!! I tried obsidian template off of steam but the ai walk off any platform into the water... Sttosin and I have been pining for a functional oilrig for 6 mths now for a side mission in w2e taking over... it actually caused quite a stall on that mission as we were soo excited by the idea and could not find a working rig...

If you need any scripting help with it ... hit us up... we will outsource that to Mikey74 immediately lol... This will be a game changer for some mission makers ;)

The island looks like a Ronald Reagan subclass, the Rossevelt subclass looks more like the standard Nimitz.

Ok guys, too many things about to happen so this will be the end of this thread for the Mk.V, expect a Release thread over the weekend. Additionally I'll create a new thread for the carrier, and Offshore Project separately. So things don't get too confusing moving forward.

 

Many thanks to those who have provided feedback and helped with testing things! Much love guys. See you in the Addons Complete forum soon! (no need for a â„¢ this time around)  :P
