@Oskar I'm not sure when we'll be ready to start on the missiles, but hopefully soon! Also, he updated the James download page: https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/ddg-151-nathan-james-add-on-interior-custom-layout

@Oskar Heard back from @SkylineGTRFreak. He got the weapons working!

Here's a video he recently uploaded of a test:

@Oskar cool. I also think that by doing that we could have more detail. I forget what the polygon limit is for vehicles, but this would allow a higher poly exterior.

Also, custom animations would allow for a folding rotor system for helicopters, allow the boat lift to work, working heli bay doors, and a working system for the heli to move in and out of the hangar bay. Would be cool if we could make that work.

@Oskar maybe you answered this earlier, but do you think it’s possible to add the interior of the boat as a map, like the submarine?

@Oskar hmm... I also haven’t played gta in a while. Maybe my memory of the handling is a bit fuzzy. As for the animations, I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

As for the sub handling, I guess we could, although I’m not entirely sure if the sub is classified as a boat or is it’s own class of vehicle.

@Oskar do you know if we can do custom animations yet? It’s been a while and I’m not sure what has changed with zmodeler or openiv. It would be cool if we could animate a torpedo coming out of the torpedo tubes.

@Oskar not yet. He was waiting for the script hook update, which only came out yesterday, so I think he may be working on it. We’ll find out soon enough though. I’ll contact him after Christmas if we don’t hear anything.

@Oskar that’s good. Like I mentioned in the above post, I think they updated the water interaction or something. It looks somewhat different. I’m not sure if this will affect anything but it’s worth noting. I guess what I’m getting at is that I remember the James having rough handling, and since the sub is by far the largest water vehicle, it’s possible they updated how the water interacts with boats.

Does anyone know if the submarine is classified as a boat or is it a separate class?

@Oskar The missile launch animation from the submarine looks dope. Do you think we can use it for the James? Also, I'm not sure, but I think they did some updates to the water, particularly the wake around the boats.

EDIT: Scripthook has been updated, so we should find out soon enough if this will work.
