Ships modeling and luck of information

[Hawkeye60]

Texture layers.

One main, one dirt skid alpha on top.

This is How I would do it.

Making this information somewhat public: Seems the connectors for the weaponry need a special name now?

ERROR   WEAPONS (Main): Invalid connector name (POINT_127mm_1): unit type = USS Maddox, ws id=1, ln id=1, br id=1

It's not clear to me how the name for POINT_127mm_1 needs to be choosen now. @Hawkeye60 pointed me to the error, but I'm a bit stuck.

Cheers,

Silly me I had not declared all connectors as such in the EDM properties of my blend file and hence the game rightfully complained. For clarity I changed the connector name(s) from POINT_127mm_1 to POINT_GUN_127mm_1_1 and such. 

On another subject: I tried to get rid of the sensor height error (not found) and added

GT.sensor = {};
GT.sensor.height = 15; -- unclear what it does

Now the game shows the error: wWeaponSystemManager (Main): rangeFindingTarget not defined!! USS Maddox, as seemingly declaring GT.sensor as empty table is not a great idea. Any way out there?

 Hello!
 Dear Hawkeye60 and comrades, can you please tell me how to fix this?
I took as a basis mod "Soviet Aircraft Carrier Ulyanovsk" by Hawkeye60, and inserted another model. I left everything else unchanged.
 A pair of Su-33 under the control of the player, and the helicopter is stationary.

I believe you need to check your collision shell lod vs the new model and probably replace it, with one that's appropriate for the new height of the flight deck. Also you will need to ensure that the position of the runway and routes files are correct later on. Good luck.

Collision model and you need to adjust some lines in the code.

 Thank you very much! I understand that I need to edit lines of code, but which ones? I tried changing these, but nothing changes.

[TeTeT]

You need to look for a file with the terms runways and routes in it, that's usually a set of positions where you need to change the vertical component.

Thank you very much! I think I've got it.
