Yes, but the halo will disappear at medium distance, so you won't be able to spot it from your submarine... :doh:

No, for 2 reasons : 1/ i can't do that, 2/ if i assign 2 different materials to the object in S3D, they should be both used ? ...

Yes, it does.

It was the correct order.

Well, I think it is a matter of finding the right size for an aptimal balance between light arcs and their visible range. By the way, those are the interantional rules on light visibility:

That's the likely reason for your night lights not working. Stop asking yourself impertinent questions (lol) and strictly follow my instructions :O:

PS: If S3D asks you whether you want to import one of the subsets separately, or raather collapse collapse the two of them in one object, choose the latter option :03:

Hi mates!
While waiting for this gorgeous lights work, i'm reworking a little some details.
Here are first funnel horns pipes (2 with Y shape, not 2 vertical):

I always wanted to add working hornpipes to ships ! Do you think about a trigger that could be used to launch the visual and sound effect ? :hmmm:

Someone had the good idea to launch the effect when the rudder was turning, but how can you link rudder's position to the effect ? :hmmm:

So, in wings, I have duplicated the material and changed its name.

Now in game, the lantern is bright green during night :up:, but it is white during day :-? ...

I honestly don't know this, but should be gorgeous!
Btw, voilà a "definitive" version:

Very nice ! :up:

@gap : I don't manage to make the light city work properly. So, I send you the files : there is a single mission ("QM") which starts before night, so you can use Time Compression and see difference between day and night.

What do these "nlusM" files mean?

Oh, I forgot to delete them...

Check the lateral lanterns (green and red) models, and try to find what's wrong . :D

I have tried to fix them, but still no joy. By the way: I have placed one of the stock houses on top of the Queen Mary (through placement node), Its windows are lit up at night, so the idea is still valid: we just need to discover what is wrong with our implementation of it :hmm2:

Hi!
Maybe you can clone the house object, re-model him like portholes (with same materials but different textures?) creating a new library object... so we will maybe have enlighted nightime portholes like a library part we can link as equipment in timeline...

Best regards,

That's exactly the point: I can change names, textures, etc, but when I replace the stock house model with a similar mesh, the light effect becomes broken. :hmmm:

I must be doing something wrong. Still investigating :salute:

Hi!
Small alternative idea!
Why don't create a new sound for queen mary only, adding a "Ship.Queen.Mary._mix" after "Ship.Passenger Ship._mix" into data->sound-> sh3.sdl? In my idea this definition should link to a new file (Queen Mary_mix, in sh3->sound directory) that should include original Passenger Ship_mix trace repeated for 10 minutes. After 8 minutes (for example, or when you want) QM's hornpipes' sound should be added to this trace.
After that, from NPPQ_.dsd, index 13 soundsource should be changed to "Ship.Queen.Mary._mix", and every 10 minutes we should be able to hear the horns' sound.
Is this possible?
Is this stupid?

Best regards,
Vd
