Few oddities in the Nautical folder


Springheel

Recommended Posts

I was uploading a bunch of new models and noticed that there are some really cool models in the Nautical folder that I would never would have expected to find there. I think pinkdot just put all the parts of his galleon into that folder, but some of the models, like the ship lantern, window models, and a very cool winch model, I would never think to look in the "Nautical" folder for. Any objections if I move them to more appropriate spots (window to windows folder, lantern to lights, etc)?

Yes, they would be better in the standard folder structure types. Don't think I've even seen the winch that I recall. Sounds like it would go in mechanical and yes, light nautical is better than nautical light.

 

It's likely the only map they would break is the galleon one.

Ok, I'll go ahead and move the models.

 

The texture issue is a separate thing...there are lots of fairly generic textures in the model folder that could also be used for brushes. That would be a nice organizational task for someone who is looking for something to do.

TELS :)

 

I dimly remember already posting about this and I even created one or two material shaders using model textures (for wood), but I didn't have the time to go through all of them.

There's two I'm not quite sure where to place:

 

cannon (mechanical or weapon?)

 

metal grating (mechanical? window?)

I would put cannon under weapon but wherever it goes the mapper might not think of it. This is why I want cross-referencing or bookmark links in mechanical and also decorative.

 

The grating I would put in mechanical with a link from windows and waterworks as a drain. Also in dungeon.

I don't know, those cross-referenced links have the potential to create a huge mess. We'd quickly have more of them then we would actual models.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
