VERY VERY WIP on the cargo ship. Just a little fun play around

reminds me on the cargo ship of CoD4
nice progress

It reminds me a lot of Nemo's ship map from the Close Quarters Battle mod. 'Though this one is starting to look better.

Question to CRF: Is it possible to fix that issue of the entrances so that you don't have to jump to cross to the other side?

Only way to fix that is to make little "ramps" in the col2 and give them a stair material. Alternatively, you would just eliminate the col2 "bump" at the doorway, but then, it would look weird to see the guys legs go into the mesh as he walks through the doorway. It will look odd to, with small ramps, but not as bad tho.

I will have your babies CRF, I wlll if its the last thing I do.

READ: "VERY VERY" wip

I have still have allot to work on like: col objects, details (rhino has a collection ready to go), textures and such. This is just to show that I'm still on it and to drum up some "what if" gameplay. I still have allot to do but as always life gets in the way.

There is no point making final cols until the model is final... All I do for my WIP models is just clone the main mesh to make the cols which means the stairs dont work etc otherwise you spend ages making a col for something that will probably change before its final.

Well I don't question that...

I guess what I really wanted to know is if in the final version of this ship, you would still have to jump 'trough the different entrances.

Anyway keep up the good work CRF! This is definitively going to be a unique map for PR.

Indeed. This map/concept holds great potential for awesomeness
Good to see that you guys continue to be the first to realisticly portrai modern warfare in games.

no no no no no

Allright!

'Cuz if we had to do all the jumping then the player would quickly feel as if they were suffering from mass obesity.

I just found the old webpages where amateurs put together all the known info on terrorist threats, and the page for Eyl...

There is a real time piracy tracking service ... if you need inspiration .. read how the pirates are attempting the shipjackings:
Live Piracy Report

And then the icc-ccs.org has this official maritime warning for the Gulf of Aden:

Gulf of Aden:
Somali pirates are attacking vessels in the northern Somali coast in the Gulf of Aden. These pirates are firing automatic weapons and Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPG) in an attempt to board and hijack vessels. Once the attack is successful and the vessel hijacked, the pirates sail the vessel to the Somali coast and thereafter demand a ransom for the safe release of the vessel and crew. All vessels transiting the area are advised to take additional precautionary measures and maintain strict 24 hours visual and radar anti piracy watch using all available means. Watch keeping crews should look out for small suspicious boats converging to own vessel. Early sightings/detection and accurate assessment will allow Master to increase speed and take evasive manoeuvres to escape from pirates and at the same time request for assistance from various Authorities/Agencies including the IMB PRC.

Since 1 February 2009, MSCHOA (MSC(HOA) - Welcome) has established the Internationally Recommended Transit Corridor (IRTC). Military assets (Naval and Air) will be strategically deployed within the area to best provide protection and support to merchant ships.

Masters using the IRTC are not relieved of their obligation and should continue to maintain a strict 24 hour lookout using all available means to get an early warning of an approaching threat. Some vessels have been attacked/hijacked in the corridor.

Ships/Owners are advised to register their details on the MSCHOA website MSC(HOA) - Welcome and obtain further information regarding the close support protection details for ships transiting the Gulf of Aden. Ships are encouraged to conduct their passage through the Internationally Recognised Transit Corridor (IRTC) in groups based on their transit speed.

Blackwater (now known as Xe) bought and retrofitted a ship to be a pirate hunting vessel... however no country or corporation was willing to fund anti-piracy privateers, so Blackwater is selling the boat, ... here is the official listing on yachtworld .. with lots of photos to give you some inspiration on the interior of your ships....

I like how it's got a mound of coal towards the end of the video, instead of just an empty room.

Goldeneye Source is still being developed, although people only play it immediately after each release.
