[REL] Visible Mines (when breaking the water line)

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

this tiny mod makes the mines of any minefield partly visible when breaking the water line. It will be a part of the next DD_Debris version.

You may even blast them with your deck gun / flak.

I don´t know whether there is a mod like this around already. If so, kick me, otherwise download and enjoy.

Looks cool DD :rock: :up:

Very interesting mod, and great like allways by DivingDuck. Only I have one question, is this mean that the all mines will be visible on surface all the time, or be visible in situations when the sea is calm or something like that in connection with wave height maybe?
@DivingDuck
I don't seen any similar mod like this except one which came like optional mod with NYGM but that mod make the mines invisible to stop their avoiding by submarine IIRC.

[Paajtor]

:up: Thx...will give it a try this evening.
I'm on my way to the Murmansk-harbor (July'44), and I'm not sure what the Ruskies have in store for us.:lol:

[Woof1701]

Wow. Let's just hope this and the Debris Mod will find it's way into GWX. Manually adding all that stuff into the campaign is beyond my capabilities. :up:

[Alex]

Absolutely... If any of the GWX team members see this thread, please let us know what you think of including DD's work into GWX. ;)
Maybe it could be enabled through JSGME, as a "minefield/no minefield" option ? :p
Just wondering...

[Maraz]

Being able to see mines... looks like cheating to me... :shifty:
Anyway, great job as usual by DD; another option for those who like it cannot be bad.

Moin,
... is this mean that the all mines will be visible on surface all the time, or be visible in situations when the sea is calm or something like that in connection with wave height maybe?
it depends on the depth you set them in ME whether you see them or not. If all the mines are slightly below the surface they break through the water line only when the swell allows them to do.

DD

[nikbear]

You've got mines on the brain recently DD:rotfl: Great mod as always!

[Sailor Steve]

This is a wonderful idea! I would agree about it seeming like a cheat, since they tried to put them deep enough to be invisible, but I've read that some minesweepers were able to dispatch mines by having crew member shoot rifles at them; so obviously those at least could be seen.

That part about the swells is especially nice! Thanks, DD!:rock:

p.s. did anything ever come of your wooden docks and parked motorboats mod?

[Chock]

I'd been toying with the idea of doing something similar to this, and now I don't have to - Great mod, good work.

:D Chock

[Rubini]

Many thanks again DD!:up:
Awesome work as always!
Just one question:
They use the same files that are in game now? If so, nothing needs to be changed on the camapaign files, is this right?

I and/or BBW will work on this and put all the DD's debris on GWX campaing.;)

:rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: !!!!

Thanks for replying, Rub'. :D :arrgh!:

[VonDos]

Great Work.. the first of this type?
nice! :yep:

Moin,

Your´re right. All minefields will be "updated" automatically.

Great! If nothing has to be changed I'll download and implement them ASAP! :up:
Now we just need some poor soul to script debris into all harbors :smug:

:rock: :rock: :rock: Great looking MOD DD, have downloaded, will roll back GWX before installing via JSMG p.s.can this be used in game or only as a single mission test as your Debris Mod.:up: :up: :up: :up:

It just depends on the minimum depth they have been set by the mission designer whether you can see some or not.
If you like to see them break through the surface in your self made missions, make sure to set the minimum depth at values between "0" and "-1", but not deeper than -1m. The closer the value comes to "-1", the rarer you see the mines.

DD
