looks like the little info I posted on animations from my SH3 Animator work has been used..;)

[iambecomelife]

Well, I guess now all those whale factory ships finally have a purpose. :sunny:

[Ping Panther]

BBW, can you give us an idea of the location of your whale sighting?

[bigboywooly]

Yep

I know Racerboy has figured a way to add sounds to the game engine........I have Whale sounds in stored on my computer....could it be possible to add them?:hmm: I couls create a sonar one as well as a regular one....:hmm:

[bigboywooly]

The Whale is fully animated AND complete with sounds
Now did you expect anything less from Ref :shifty:

Adding sounds was figured out ages ago
You will see what I mean in GWX 1.04
Or rather HEAR what I mean

[Hawk U-375]

Rgr!!!!!! Excellent news......Looks GREAT!!

:yep: , it's been very usefull, animations was in my TODO list for a long time, but due to the work load in GWX I've never got enough time to dig on it, your info save me the research time :up: :up: :up: .

BBW, did you have to put their migration-routes into the campaign-layer?

[kiwi_2005]

Great! Now Bernard my sonar man is really going to be confused...

:)

[JoeTheising]

Hi all

Very nice Whale!

that is the evidence, that it is nessesary to implementate some animals like this whale in SH3 or 4

he he...that's just the start....my SH4 effects (and more) for SH3 is going to introduce a whole lot more sonar sounds that were missing also...;)

Hope some people don't get confused with the 'Hump Back' variety. :o

Umm, that is a Humpback.:lol:

Is this a serpate mod or is it included in gwx1.03

running for 6 hours in the stormy winter night somewhere in the middle of ADxx 60 meters below the waves and THEN....

CO this is sonar: contact medium distance at 63 degrees

CO to sonar: identify

sonar to CO: ..... some kind of "UIIIIIIIIIIICK" It's either a new secret weapon or plain natural.

CO to sonar: Let's call it: a whale! :D

<Double scratchy head smilie>

Umm, that is a Humpback.:lol:

<Triple scratchy head smilie>

The emphasis was meant to be on the 'hump' as in.....it doesn't matter.....probably just my twisted sense of humour (there are some youngish people around):rotfl:

Ah....rgr

I am delighted to see these developments gentlemen, whales, whale sounds on sonar, sharks - all quite marvellous and a wonderful edition to our virtual oceans!

Now, you cunning fellows beavering away in your design and development back rooms, what are the chances of somebody coming up with a "random fish shoal" able to operate at varying (random) depth and varying (random) size between largest and smallest boundaries for the shoal and size of the fish themselves.

The fish model itself need be no more than rudimentary and extremely simplified, as all the "realism" could be achieved by varying the colour, reflectance (from dull black, through blues to shimmery silver) and speed and quality of motion (alternating between sychronised & randomised on a random timebase with slower speeds the larger the individual fish comprising that shoal) size (of the standard fish in that shoal) and mingling (overlapping in 3D) shoals of different sizes and colours.

Although no modeller myself, mathematically this would not seem to be that complex to achieve in principal, as (at first) it only requires one standard fish model and all the other things are acheived by varying its size, speed and motion. IMO (as I have said elsewhere in subsim) random fish shoals all over the place would really massively enhance the realism of the underwater realm in both SH III and SH IV.

These whales and sharks are a quite marvellous demonstration of what can be achieved. Well done gentlemen! The odd random Albatross would be cool too!

Now, about parrots . . . . . :arrgh!:

Like underwater seismic activity and catarpillar drives? :D

I just find myself reminded of "Hunt for Red October": "Have I got this straight, Jonesy? A $40 million computer tells you you're chasing an earthquake, but you don't believe, and you come up with this on your own?"

Seaman Jones (http://imdb.com/name/nm0005524/): [Jonesy is teaching Beaumont] Hear it now?
Beaumont (http://imdb.com/name/nm0891224/): [resigned] No.
Seaman Jones (http://imdb.com/name/nm0005524/): Beaumont, at Caltech we used to do this in our sleep! You hear it now?
Beaumont (http://imdb.com/name/nm0891224/): Wait a minute...
Seaman Jones (http://imdb.com/name/nm0005524/): Uh oh...
Beaumont (http://imdb.com/name/nm0891224/): Disparaged surface clutter...
Seaman Jones (http://imdb.com/name/nm0005524/): Yeeeesssss?
Beaumont (http://imdb.com/name/nm0891224/): I should go to SAPS?
Seaman Jones (http://imdb.com/name/nm0005524/): Correct! Seaman Beaumont, Signal Algorithmic Processing System. Give it a week and you'll be teaching at Caltech. So, like Beethoven on the computer, you have laboured to produce... a biologic.
Beaumont (http://imdb.com/name/nm0891224/): A what?
Seaman Jones (http://imdb.com/name/nm0005524/): A whale, Seaman Beaumont, a whale. A marine mammal that knows a hell of a lot more about sonar, then you do. Train her around to 269 and lets try it again?
