Doesn't SH5 already have those? SH4 did. In fact there would be no SH3 lifeboats mods if SH4 hadn't paved the way. Same with waterstreams.

I want the Big Burning Oil Slicks that were in PE4 for SH4 that stayed there for approximately 30 minutes.:woot: With the way Oil Slicks currently look in SH5 but make it last longer then 15 seconds.

yes I think this would add to realism but not only do I want to see wood
debris scatter threw the air and hit the water then slowly float down...

Dead Sailors Mod ? I would imagine a Hollywood mod updated to sh5
would be lovely so new animated flying/floating sailors to look more realistic.

there is something very unrealistic when observing a torpedo hit in that
watching the sailors walk around on decks instantly vanish after a fish hits the hull
where they are walking near.. close observations will show other sailors oposit side
of ships impact act as nothing happened at all... no running & jumping off etc..

I would imagine a few near impact flying threw the air in a swimming motion
then sailors that impact on water = slowly stop moving to a dead float then sink
like the lifeless boxed crate.

perhaps some that swim around the ship a bit before submitting to the cold water..

add some sharks to the mix and call it Terror of the Bloody Seas mod :D

Looks a little too cartoonish compared to the graphics of SH5. While it adds some immersion is kills some as well.

ohh in my opinion the original SH5 (like SH4) much to fast and mostly empty nut shell`s looks much more cartoonish :)

Yes ,but someone must make it for SH5

Stromfly ? The Beast ? Thorn69 ? Schockwave ? SailorSteve ? ..... ?

More modeurs = more mods

All the textures could most likely be easily replaced by better ones that came with SH5. It might take a while, but I am sure that it can be done. I might take a look at it.

It looks like it doesn't have an ambient occlusion map, which makes it looks flat. I don't think SH3 uses ambient occlusion maps, which would explain why it's missing. The reflection problem is a game engine problem with showing reflections of objects in .dat files.

Crap, you are most likely right about the occlusion map. However, there are occlusion maps for wood, and for people included in SH5. So, we should still be able to use those along with the corresponding textures to re-skin the stuff. Of course, that takes it beyond a simple re-texturing job.:-?

How do you mean there are occlusion maps included for wood and people already?

I am talking about adapting the occlusion maps and textures from SH5 and using them to re-skin the life boats and people from the old mod. Seems like we should be able to do that. Or at the very least, we could fix up those textures and add a bump map to them, that would make them look a bit better.

We don't have to use something specifically made for a life boat is what I am saying. For instance look up the files wood_box.dds and wood_box_N.dds in the SH5/data/Textures/TNormal/tex folder. That is just one of many wood textures and maps that we already have. What I am suggesting might be making things way more complicated then they need to be though.

That looks really weird - good res models of the survivors and then a liferaft that looks like it's from the 80s. Perhaps it's meant to match that crewman who looks like he's about to go to an 80s disco?

:haha: Yeah, I am surprised that John Travolta is not on that raft. Anyway, I am once again blown away by something that is just sitting around in the files unused.

it doesn't strike me as that odd. From what I've seen in the files it appears they've already thought about an expansion/add-on. It's like they coded most of it in already so it's ready to be used.

I would have to agree. I have looked at basically all of the texture files included, and there are a lot of unused ones that hint at possible future add-ons. However, I am still surprised that John Travolta was not on that boat :har:

I think that's the boat for the drop of spy mission in the game.

So...SH4 has lifeboats but SH5 doesn't?

DANG! That's not good!

Where have I seen rowers like that in lifeboats before?
:hmmm:

The cfg files from SH4 list:

CrewComplement=XXX
SurvivalRate=XXX
SurvivalPercentage=XXX

XXX being a number.

SH5 cfg files do not have this.
Try adding them and see what happens.

Sh5 does have them :D

Also, Is it possible the US sonar stack is a carryover from SH4? isn't the game built on top of it?

SH5 is :

SH3 + SH4 + Bugs + GR2-Files instead of Dat´s - Type II, Type IX and Type XXI + better Water + more polygons on 3d moddels.

This mixture makes the hell :rotfl2:
