Hi Gap,
I've tested the lighthouse more thoroughly this morning and here are my observations:-
After installation of files using Generic Mod Installer (JSGME)
As a Terrain object using Locations.cfg with following entries:-
[Location 785] ; Rock_LaPlate
Long=-4.759722
Lat=48.039167
Heading=270
OnLand=false
ShowOnMap=true
FileName=Rock_LaPlate
LocationName=Rock_LaPlate
[Location 786] ; LLH_LaPlate
Long=-4.759722
Lat=48.039167
Heading=270
OnLand=false
ShowOnMap=true
FileName=LLH_LaPlate
LocationName=LLH_LaPlate
Result:-
Light tower floating mid-air.
No Top structure or lantern (Only tower with platform and perimeter railings)
No flashing light
No reflection (possibly too high in the air)
The rock is on the seabed
As Land Unit after amending the eqp file date for the light and removing entries in Locations.cfg:-
Full light tower with upper structure and lantern showing on sea surface with base below sea surface level
Light flashing 9 times.
Reflection of tower
Top mark looks black (Tried different sun angles but still black)
No rock
I then added the rock to the Locations Cfg again, keeping the light as a Land unit:
the rock is on the seabed, but the light is not sitting fully on the rock - it's slightly to one side.
The top of the rock is not visible above the sea surface.
I hope these observations are helpful.
regards,
MLF
Screenshots:-
Ist one shows Lighthouse as Land Unit added in Mission Editor
2nd one shows as Terrain Object added via Locations.cfg
3rd one shows Light added as land unit and rock added as a terrain object (bit murky but look hard
)
And 4th one shows the top mark (I expect you guessed that
).
