Probably, working with separate library files is more complicated than just having copies of models within one *.dat file. Examples you can find in the seaforts by privateer (see GWX; I think these were the first items using that technique) or the directors, boats, bridge equipment in the *.dat files of Southhampton and Fiji I did recently.

A bit more complicated, yes, but there is an advantage in having single ice floes in a library file: if need be, you can link them to more than one ice patch "unit" without need of reimporting them in multiple dat files. I.e. even lesser burden for our systems :yep:

Right, and it offers the opportunity of having different types of ice floes by simply re-combining them.

Another Item yet to address. When Drift Ice collides with any part of another iceberg model and nodes. Damage is spawning numerous Lifeboats and Debris. I need to set up something in the Zone file to give the Iceberg damage its own unique ice looking debris separate and non-interfering with other Ships Damage. Possible? Not worried quite yet building a new Beta version but in the future.

Exactly :up:

Lifeboats only spawn when an unit is destroyed. For drift ice not to spawn them, you should make them undestroyable. Either remove damage boxes from their collisionable object controller (but not collision spheres, otherwise the will become uncollisionable!), or give them an extremely high number of hit points. There might be other methods to solve the issue, but those are the first ones coming to my mind.

After some tests with icebergs, I get CTD.

I have too many icebergs. I'll wait for the final version.

I am testing a new library.dat file and surrounding the icebergs with different models using Placement. Also simplified drift ice models will be made. I tried.eqp as well. The placement approach and .eqp approach work the same. Placement is the easiest to manage. Until I lighten the drift ice load the CTDs will occur.

Looks good. ! :up: I can create the sound to attach to the ice pack unit if you want.

Looks good! :Kaleun_Applaud:

What about an improved texture?


If you need animals... I have some penguins ;)

Do you have a pic of them ? :)

Penguins are in Antarctica, not Arctic. I Have a Polar Bear model in .obj ,model is from the internet but no textures. I have fully intended to include it ( after texturing ) in a final release.

Stable Beta Wip for testing.
A little late but I have had a very stable running Beta mod for at least 72 hours.
Your testing again needed.

The mission loads, I'm in my submarine, and the game crashes immediatly ...

If you have the single missions Ice ice baby, in your game disable the mod, open data, remove SingleMission folder. Try again.
