quest to modders

nik112 · 05-01-2009, 06:57 AM

hi all
last night i was experiment with s3d tool and ships files like sim,dat zone,val etc. The result was to create a "ghost" ship that you can see it on the horizon but 1/ if you look through binoculars you haven't info (the little green triangle doesn't appears 2/ if you try to shoot with dg ammo passing through 3/ torps also passing through its keel.
please give me instructions to correct

ps i forgot to make a copy before do changes

cheers

Hmm, GWX & SH4 both contain ghost ships, perhaps you could get the info you need from there.

Hi! have you never seen that in GWX?

grid DD42, SW corner. Just after the midnight of 02/April/41

Moin nik112,

it´s most probably a matter of the *.zon file. Either the new unit is lacking a *.zon file or the *.zon file wasn´t cloned properly. If the *.zon file wasn´t cloned correctly, the links between collision spheres / boxes and the 3d objects in the unit´s *.dat file are broken. Thus the game enigne can not detect any collision, no matter if it´s your boat, a torpedo or a projectile.

Regards,
DD

Classify it as Enviromental.
No info is given on it then.
Even your lookouts will not spot it.

The Zon file handles collisions as DD stated.
