I didn't add any adidtional mines from what were already present, primarly due to time constraints. I did however, increase the effectiveness of existing minefields.

What was fun, was deliberatly setting them all on the surface in the editor, so i could physically see how many there were spawning in a given area.

I wanted to make it even more dense then they are now! But i remember there being rendering and slowdown issues in SH3 when minefields were too thick, so i was much more conservative then i wanted to be.

To give you an idea, if i remember right,
-old density was about 1 mine per 1sq km.
-New density is about 5 mines per sq km,

i wanted to make it 15 mines per 1 sq km, but didn't.

I wish that there was a sound file on the net to hear the "chilling gong" noise.

Want to hear something sad? I was digging around in the US sensor files.

There is an FM sonar and a broomstick in there. But how to get them working is beyond me at the moment.

edit:

I take tha back about the FM sonar, the models there, and i got a boat equiped with one. There is an UNUSED hydrophone node, slap it in, and i have an FM sonar head on my main deck.

The trick will be to get all these hydrophones to work in concert with one another.
