1./ 3D WORK

* SHIP :
- re-scaled (970 %) and flipped on X-axis.
- detached many parts from the ship to make them destroyable (masts, boats ...) or movable (rudder, propellers, guns ...)
- edge splitted the big elements of the hull and superstructures.

* GUNS :
- re-scaled, and flipped on X-axis
- centered on their axis of rotation
- splitted into several moving parts (cradle and barrel)
- edge splitted nearly all the 3D parts


2./ SEA FOLDER

* .DAT :
- imported all the original textures, only the biggest ones stay out of the .dat file (to avoid the game to crash).
- placed nodes for guns (linked in the .eqp file)

WIP ....




3./ TEXTURES
- converted all the textures from .dds to .tga files : 67 original textures + 100 optional textures for the three additional skins.


4./ LIBRARY FOLDER

* .DAT :
- placed guns, with their different mobile parts with a corrected rotation axis.

* .SIM :
- added the historical parameters for the guns.
