[REL]Lifeboats for SH3!(Update V4.0, Dec. 27, 2008)

[Lanzfeld]

My god!!!

All this detail and I never really stop long enough to see it! I just cruise by asking for a captain or engineer or throw out a compass and water. Early war only.

Sometimes I feel that this detail work is "wasted" on little things but I still very much appretiate it.

It's the model I'll be useing.
New skins would have to be made but that's minor work.
And would give the Graphics guys more details to work with.

Sure - send me the file/link.

First of all want to thank everybody who put his hand in making this wonderful mod. Thanks a lot guys.
And I have a question - I installed "LifeBoats&Debris_v4" and it works fine with GWX 3.0. But today I decided to enable "GWX_ships_Buyonce&draught_mod" optional mod and have a loke on it. But my Generic Mod Enabler showed me this ""NF_boat_3.mtl" has already been altered by the "LifeBoats&Debris_v4" mod."
Is it normal or am I doing smth wrong?

The extra mod will change things.
Although I don't think there's any mtl file that should be involved.
Unless someone forgot to delete it?
It's a 3D file not used by SH3.

When will that mod be released:p :hmm:

Not real soon.


The Life Boats stuff takes a back seat to alot of other stuff just now.
VonDos's Guns that I promised him,
some special programing work some where else,
a few more details on animations issues,
on the list goes on and on and on.


I have to rotate through different projects now.
A day on this, a day on that.
And then I do something stupid
and find I have to spend a day doing the other.

[StarLion45]

Gee
Lot of projects you have .
Don't do something stupid this weekend Privateer :p

But I'm looking forward to this mod when it's finished

Congratullations

WOWYou modders never cease to amaze me,stunning stuff

[iambecomelife]

I got the files privateer - thanks. I gave him a dark jacket - it made him look a little like what's-his-name from "Happy Days". NOT a very imposing image...

@iambecomelife

" it made him look a little like what's-his-name from "Happy Days". "

Oh my gawd, I hope he don't raise his thumbs and say 'AAAeee' as the ship sinks. Next thing we know it'll be the cannibal survivors from the Python sketch :rotfl:

Best regards.

This looks really cool - I can't wait to see some of these lifeboats, once I get my new GWX3.0/LRT install stabilized and actually get out to sea for more than just tests.

BTW - if they're not already in there somewhere (and I just haven't seen the screenshots yet), any chance of including a new crew clothes/skin variant that would have some or all of the survivors covered in oil? Would be great to see them pulling away from a sinking tanker and looking like they had to swim through that muck to get to the life boat. Also, any chance of having a model/variant where the lifeboat is upside down with men clinging to it (or perhaps where they are clinging to one of those raft-like things some of the ships carried), just to provide a little more variety to the survivor population?

Great work here - thanks for all your efforts to improve our SH3 experience

[urfisch]

this is great!

i am really happy and astonished about, what privateer and all the other modders are creating! may god bless you...and keep your motivation and health up in life. in the german ubi-forum a nice guy "trainer1942", who made the additional locks and new harbour layouts, just left for getting well again. and i know many other guys, e.g. diving duck, who have family and can not spend as much time, as they might want to spend here.

for me its the same, since finishing my grapic-scholastics in 2005, real life pushes me more and more hard and claims a lot of time and energy. after almost a year i just found the way back into sh3 and modded some new sub-pens today. and old project: revived!

now...i only wanted to say how much i admire the work of you people. keep it up!

Part of the stuff I'm working on includes the oil soaked look,
boats upside down with people clinging to them,
a more detailed 3d model for the survivors,
and new animations.
Along with a few special effects.

There will also be survivors for the AI U-Boats,
and sooner or later?
The Aircraft will have pilots with chutes.

Some of the stuff I lost in this latest system crash.

So I have to re-do alot of work.
