wansec_6 199 Posted April 28, 2020 G'day @mankyle, She sounds like she'll be an asset to any fleet. I'd be happy to put my hand up to assist with testing any of your vessels, if you need extra testers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 385 Posted January 14, 2021 Hi there Not dead (not the mod and not me... In March it will be 4 years since I was declared in remission from my cancer) and I'm still working on this. I want to add a new vessel and I have started modelling it. It is going to be a multi part vessel (around 130 meters) that I think it will be quite useful por amphibious assaults. I will post updates in a couple of weeks. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wansec_6 199 Posted January 15, 2021 G'day @mankyle, Good to hear you're still alive and kicking. Looking forward to your next project. It sounds interesting. Have you released the HSSV and Patrol Boat and if so, where can they be downloaded from? I haven't seen a download link in the topic. Keep up the great work and take care of yourself.

mankyle 385 Posted January 15, 2021 No. I haven't released them yet. They are not finished yet but I will upload them this weekend. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mankyle 385 Posted January 26, 2021 Just a side project I'm working on. The problem is that even though hovercraftx simulation works, the damned vehicle can't move over land, just over water. I will probably move it to the Independent side so the AAF can have some more toys to play with. Also, animating the cushion is a f*****g nightmare.... PS: In the screenshot there is a clue of another thing I'm working on... 😉 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 385 Posted February 1, 2021 Hi there I'm liberating the source files of the High Speed Support Vessel and the Pacific Class Replacement Boat mods as I promised a couple of weeks ago. If anyone wants to modify or tinker with them I EXPLICITELY give my permission to do so You can modify them and re-release them as your addons if you want Enjoy High Speed Support Vessel source Files https://www.4shared.com/archive/i2Kd3CJPiq/mnk_hssv.html Pacific Class Patrol Boat Source Files https://www.4shared.com/archive/FMZiIWuKiq/mnk_prpb.html 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 385 Posted February 14, 2021 I'm going to post a couple more pictures of how my latest project is proceeding. It is a free interpretation of the Tsaplya (Murena E) class medium hovercraft. I have called it μελαχρινή (melachrini) class hovercraft because it means the same (Moray) and it sounds well. It is currently used by Russia and South Korea and it is roughly equivalent to an american LCAC. It can transport confortably more troops but less vehicles. For the moment it can transport three AAF trucks or Four striders or two APCs/IFV or one MBT plus another light vehicle. I will probably do two versions: troop transport and ViV transport. For the troop transport version it will be able to hold a HUGE quantity of troopers. It is armed with two 30 mm cannons, can use smoke launchers, has a working radar and as you can see, a working cargo door. My modelling skills are crap and I still haven't solved the trick of the working numerals or how to get the cargo door to be open/closed in EDEN editor. But I think it is more useful than a patrol boat or an LPD. For the moment it has been coded as a boat but I'm experimenting with other options so it can move over land and sea. I'll keep you posted PS: These screenshots has been taken in Sahrani if anyone asks 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mankyle 385 Posted February 20, 2021 I already had done that... He has coded the W.H.A.L.E. hovercraft clone as a tank with amphibious capabilities. It has limitations though... Still thinking how I'm going to do that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For your other hovercraft, I guess that the ramp open/closed state is like having a wing folded state? Any update on its progress/ where it can be downloaded? Chance of releasing those source files too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 385 Posted August 5 mleachrini hovercraft Unfortunately I have lost both the source files and the reference picture I had found that I used to create the hovercraft... Last year in May, after 6 years of remission my lymphoma came back... I had an autologous bone marrow transplantation in September and I have been in the hospital 4 times since september due to infections and other problems.... i don't have neither time nor forces to keep modding. If anyone can reengineer the model or do whatever they want to that, I give explicit permission to do with the file whatever they want 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wansec_6 199 Posted August 5 G'day @mankyle So sorry to hear about your Lymphoma. It is sad to see you going, but I understand why. You need to take care of yourself and hopefully beat it once and for all. Good Luck mate and stay safe. Hope to see you back one day.

S--t man, I remember that you had medical problems back when you released a partially completed version of the HSSV, and I was glad to hear it went into remission. I'm sorry to hear that it is back, and I hope you can make it through this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a shame, it's very good, and just needs a few more tweaks and parts to be textured (and those could just use generic vanilla textures). The HSSV is great though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last year in September I went into 6 rounds of chemo in 6 days... Ba9sically they destroy your bone marrow... First day chemo wasn't so bad, but provoqued a horrible skin rash... The one that I got on days 2 to 5 was horrible. It was like having the flu and COVID at the same time (coupled with a hangover) And the last day one basically makes you shed your entire gastrointestinal mucosa.... It is vomiting and diarrhea for one full week... Not funny at all... I have a couple WIP LSTs and the portuguese drone carrier mini landing ship... If anyone wants them I will gladly give the source files Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ex3B 265 Posted August 9 My Brother-in-law's wife's father recently died from complications following an infection shortly after his chemo had finished for Hodgkin's lymphoma - many of us thought he decided to travel too soon after his chemo finished this stuff is serious, I wish you the best, and do all that you can to increase your odds. 23 hours ago, mankyle said: I have a couple WIP LSTs and the portuguese drone carrier mini landing ship... If anyone wants them I will gladly give the source files I'm interested in taking a look at any asset that would be useful for amphibious/airborne/offshore assaults (be it a transport ship, a carrier, an amphibious vehicle, a vehicle that can be airlifted, an aircraft capable of airlift, etc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
