[WIP] French Richelieu-class battleship

WORK ALREADY DONE :

for the cutter :
- completly edge splitted the 3D model
- corrected the UV-map of the rail and the wheel
- created the SH3 files (.dat, .sim, etc.)

for Richelieu :
- separated and re-assembled main (hull, deck and castle) and small 3D parts.
- edge splitted all the hull and deck, and nearly all the castle.
- completly edge splitted the big range finders
- created the library files for the 380mm/45, 152mm/55 guns, the 37mm and 13.2mm AA guns, and for the 120cm searchlight
- added all the nodes on the ship for these guns and searchlights types.
- created the traverse properties of all these guns and SL.
- created the SH3 files (.dat, .sim, etc.)

All 3D parts added to the .dat file. It seems that there is no problem in SH3 (only the hull has received its texture for now) :

Edge splitting process (3 hours of work) :

BEFORE :



AFTER :

The ship at war :

* Cranes (3) and masts (2) :
- detached them from the hull to make them destroyable
- added all damage boxes and collision spheres

* Searchlights :
- 3D model completly edge splitted, and separated into 3 articulated parts (base, axe, body)
- adapted a light beam
- created the library files
- added all the nodes on the ship
- defined all traverse restriction parameters.
