plz fix it

I know the feeling, as far as the internet situation goes. I had nothing but LTE for the last month and a half. Literally just got my internet back on a couple days ago. I really miss the days when you could be certain that you were going to be able to get a service, and keep it going indefinitely.

Hi there Mephilis78, thanks for leaving a comment. You are right, I haven't been active in the world of ark modding for a very long time. Hopefully in the next week I will finally have a cabled fiber internet installed instead of relying on a really bad LTE connection. I have recently made the switch to Linux (although I still have a windows 10 partition available for things only windows - like the dev kits). I want to finally get this mod running again when I can update the dev kit when the internet goes in and when I get the time - real life takes priority at the moment. Regarding your suggestions, yep its possible to bring over the stuff from Atlas, but there is an issue I won't go into at the moment (plus I have to get the Atlas dev kit also to do anything like that - another 400GB I'd imagine).
So, to answer whats next - well, lets see what the next few weeks bring.

I realize it's been many years since you've worked on this, but I have an idea that may make it possible to revive this project. You have to games that play on basically the exact same engine. Atlas and Ark. In fact the games are so close that the world is still labeled "PrimalEarth" in Atlas. It might be possible to import ships and ship parts from Atlas to Ark... perhaps we can get the water physics transferred as well.... I don't know how that works though, so it may just be impossible.

What's the scoop on this, it's been 2 months now, any progress?

So after long periods of internet outage (which still seems prevelent every few weeks) and currently being out of work again I don't have alot of time to look at this mod, however thanks to the support of friends and their comments, it has urged me to look at this mod again. Currrently it is broken with the latest update of ark, I'm planning on rebuilding it from the ground up with my original ideas to move forward. To all the supporters who have tried this out, I hope you will like what is coming.

To all - I'm suffering internet problems again with my ISP, unfortunately they are the only supplier in my area so I have to be very careful what I say (despite me wanting to tell them where to go), just got over a week with no internet. I want to start again once I update the pack

Sumon comande ?

I forgot how do I spawn in this, I know the ID I just forget what to type

Mod ID? you the one above...701660116

@camb1919 - Thanks for the comments, I'm having some real life issues at the moment, but hope to get back on this soon, next time I update will post the mod ID in it

@Wodger can i suggest you put the Mod ID in the description it will make it easy for people askyou may get asked this again but others ! but good mod keep up the good work :)

thank you Wodger :)

@camb1919 - mod ID:701660116

whats the id for this mod

OK, so, I'm back in modding again after a long spell without internet - planning to get this one running again with more features, ships, crafting benches and the like Just put out a saddle bench mod (quick one for a server), so watch this space...

HOW DO I CRAFT

Wodger any chance that somebody could pick up your mod? It's about the best ship for the game and I'm sorry to hear about your ISP problem.

I have some bad news for all those using my mod. My ISP here in the Philippines has decided to end my internet package nationwide. Consequently, I have lost my usual 2Mbit connection and am now stuck with a 3G mobile WIFI capped at a wonderful 8Kbit/sec. As such I can no longer update the Dev kit or Ark itself.
ETA for LTE availibility in my area is January 2017, but knowing the ISP, this will be more like mid 2017.
I will however continue to develop my UE4 and C++ skills and this mod as best as is possible with what I have, and perhaps next year I will try to release an updated version when I get a worthwhile internet package.
Again my apologies for this,
Kind Regards,
Wodger.

No plans for reversing the ship, maybe possible - haven't looked into it yet. Regarding the speed, you will be able to upgrade the ship to increase speed and turn rate depending on a personal level and equipment level. Hope to push out an update soon

Love the mod!! Any plans to be able to reverse the ship or ini settings for speed?

I know its cheap as chips, it was only built as a test, but with the upcoming plans, you will need to get a few bits extra to build it up - other ships in the works, but I don't know when I can put time into this. I am trying though!

so cheap!

Interesting Question @portopanther, the mesh was thrown together in 3ds max, the rest was all coded in the dev kit. To all I am sorry for the delays in updating, I have been busy with work and not had alot of time to dedicate to this, but it will be worth the wait. Thanks again for waiting

how you make?

Thanks Wodger!

Hi Paladin, at the moment, the ship is 1 engram point, and costs 1 wood (it should be right at the bottom of the engram list for learning) - this will change soon when I get the crafting stations finished - was planning to put placeholders in while I finish the mesh's, but think it will look pants having boxes for the crafting stations. A new mesh is also in progress for the ship along with a load of new enhancements - stay tuned :)

How do you craft the ship? Or is it spawn in only?

Sorry to everyone, I discovered this morning that in my attempts to get multiplayer sorted I inadvertantly broke the singleplayer. Should be able to push out an update very shortly

As far as I know, this is the only boat mod that allows aiming of the cannons to a point with aiming reticle...

Still a highly WIP, still learning the Devkit, replication and so on, have plenty ideas, working on painting the ship like you would paint the dinos, damage effects, enhancements to boat performance - The current boat mesh sucks - I know that, I whipped it together months ago in around an hour, I have a new mesh in progress, but wanted to get some development on the core operation. for all those that are curious, control the ship using WASD, press W once to go half speed, once more for ful speed (no need to hold down), S slows down back to half speed and stop (indicator in progress), slower speeds = higher turn rate (turn using A and D, mouse camera free to look) - world of warships style - still some adjustments to be made there, Right mousebutton over side of boat brings up aiming reticle (ala AC black flag style), left mouse button fires cannons, reload indicators on the bottom left

interesting mod, you could change the color of the boat, other models or whatever your imagination create

mod has no interest , just a copy of already existing mod created by DAVIDBC
