REL: Shark unit by JoTheising

[Carotio]

In the German ubi forum, JoTheising, has released his first version of a shark unit.
You can see a small animated gif-preview and a dl link here:

In case, you may have questions for him, I'll pass them on to him, or ask there, and I'll translate, when I have the time, unless someone else does it, "oder ihr Deutsch sprechen könnt"... ;)

EDIT:
I have released version 1.1 with Jaws theme music as sound.
Thanks to Skwasjer's S3D tool :yeah:

[Carotio]

Dont know if anybody else intends to use this unit, but just in case.

A suggestion as to where to built it in:

I also made a small movie in the museum, so you can see it first.

Nice....how many torps does it carry?

[Dowly]

Someone has to give it a sound... you know.. the Jaws theme. :yep:

LOL. What country is it set for? Be funny to give it a "gun" with no effects or sounds, but enough damage to take out survivors/lifeboats :D

Well in the video, it was set as American unit. It's of course supposed to be Environmental, but in that case, you cannot see it in the museum.

Yeah, you can now script some traffic of sharks around some survivors/lifeboats :arrgh!:

Well, I will await Jo before anything more is done. I just made the post in a German forum too.

[gimpy117]

200 points first person to hit it with a torpedo!!

[Hitman]

Very nice but don't script those sharks close to were japanese fishing boats are scripted....you know, they love the shark-finn soup :har:

[keltos01]

how hard would it be to animate the head ?

[Dowly]

Looking good! :yeah:

Just one suggestion, get rid of that farking mickey mouse eye! :har: Just paint it black, most sharks have 99% black eyes.

[rubenandthejets]

Great stuff! Love it! The wikipaedia map shows their distribution being much wider, indcluding the coasts of the 4 main Japanese home islands.

When are the "hammerhead", "tiger", "wobbegong" and "nurse" mods coming out?

How about the "feeding frenzy" shark school mod? Might be tough with the 300 meter limit.

[Captain America]

Excellent work! There are a lot of potential cool things you can do with this mod.

Great job , whales and dolphins next please :salute:

[vickers03]

could the shark unit be made to spawn randomly?:hmmm:

[ReallyDedPoet]

Nice :yep::up:

Yeah, to get it to spawn randomly would be a neat effect.

[Carotio]

could the shark unit be made to spawn randomly?:hmmm:

That is the choice/option of a campaign builder.

The unit is set as type 104 = costal vessel, but as environmental

The icebergs are set as type 107 = rare tanker, equally as environmental

So unless a campaign has scripted these units or made them randomly spawn by adding these unit type, you'll not see them.

But in the documentation folder, I have added some jpg's of both different shark types but also some charts of where sharks live, and that indeed is in tropical shore regions.

[skwasjer]

Next up, animate it! :yeah:

[W_clear]

Too horrible job.:yeah: :yeah:

[W_clear]

It is very interesting.:haha:
