[REL] Pilots ejecting from destroyed airplanes

[TheDarkWraith]

Another mod I made for SH5 that I ported over to SH3. When an airplane is destroyed (explodes in air) the pilot(s) will now eject and parachute to the water. Due to ejecting in the explosion the pilots suffered severe injuries and thus died from the explosion. When they impact the water they will float face down.

Unzip straight to MODS folder and enable via JSGME.

NOTE: I added entries to the \data\Zones.cfg file so it probably won't be compatible with most large mod compilations. You'll need to add the appropriate entries in the compilation mods's zones.cfg file if it has one.

SH3's Flak gun training mission is a great mission to see this in action.

The stock SH3 Zones.cfg file was used as base for this mod. To update other mod's Zones.cfg file you need to add the following entries to them (highlighted in yellow):

Contributors:
- Testpilot: new parachute and pilot for parachute

v1.0: initial release
v2.0: added new parachute and pilot for parachute by Testpilot.
adjusted fall speed of parachute to allow more 'hang-time'
adjusted how much pilot and parachute has to submerge before showing dead, floating pilot

haha nice one mate. That pilot hit the drink pretty hard:woot:

dont know if I could use your your cool mod as I have never shot down an aircraft, nor do I ever try, for me its always ALAAAAAARM!

Hi TDW !

But one question please: What for a zones.cfg did you have taken as base for the MOD, from Stock-SH3 or GWX or another Super-MOD ?

You can use Pack3D version 3 to extract the pilot (Extract All) out of the .dat file (TheDarkWraith_Pilot_Ejection_Materials.dat) in the mod to .obj format for import into Wings3D (the .obj file will be called AirplanePilot_01.obj). There you can see how the parachute's size is in relation to the pilot. It will also allow you to place the parachute in correct place in relation to pilot. Once set and scaled correctly then you can send me the .obj for the parachute and I'll update the mod :up:

[TheDarkWraith]

Just compared TDW's Zones.cfg to the stock file - only four entries:

yes, that's correct. I added new effect entries to all the plane's engines. I used the stock SH3 zones.cfg file as base. I've updated post #1 with the required entries to be made in other mod's Zones.cfg files to add this effect to them.

Wish I'd had this on my last patrol, we shot down a buttload of Swordfish. Unlikely to have that many aircraft kills again but I'm still playing mostly the beginning of the war when shooting down a plane is not completely out of the question, so this will really add something when we do!

If you could please make the pilot holding the parachute strings a seperate .obj file. I'll need to update the mod with the two different pilots (this one and the dead one in the water).

What I'll need is .obj files for:

- new pilot with hands up

Now should the pilot be dead when he contacts the water or should I have him bobbing in the water upright? I made him dead because he ejected when the plane exploded and by all rights should be dead :06:

I can make a Lifeboat for the pilot.I work on a new highres pilot model to.


(http://www.fotos-hochladen.net)

[TheDarkWraith]

I can make a Lifeboat for the pilot.I work on a new highres pilot model to.

ok, I can add that no problem. We must decide on the behavior of this lifeboat. I will make it float on the surface like a ship does. Now how long do we render this lifeboat? Do we treat it as debris and let it sink after the time the game decides debris should sink? Or do I control the sinking and sink it after x time? Or do I let it live indefinitely? Or do I let it live for x time and then remove it? :hmmm:

[Myxale]

Are you going to make a new 3D model of the pilot sitting in/on the lifeboat? I think it would be good to do this. You could either incorporate the new 3D model of the pilot in the lifeboat or make a seperate .obj file for it. I can work with anything and am very flexible :up:

[Testpilot]

I will make a new pilot on the parachute.With a watchman Head.So he looks around the ground area.And a new one sitting in /on the lifeboat.I am very flexible too.More in the next Days...:yeah:

[Rubini]

@TDW, testpilot,

Again thanks by this new mod .It´s Awesome!:up:

As for the lifeboat life, I suggest to make it as floating debris, like we made it on the lifeboats mod. This way it will just be three floating alone until you leave the area (that magic 30-50km around your uboat).

[Testpilot]

You have PM with the DL link.I dont know this work on Sh5.....:hmmm:

I'm a little late to this. The lifeboat sounds like a great touch, since if he was dead he couldn't open the parachute. In those days they didn't have an ejection seat. The pilot jumped out and opened the chute himself.

This is looking awesome!

I think this is - in the TDW mod - the sequence of the hard way from life to death:

1 - Plane explossion.

2 - Pilot, hardly injured, ejects from the plane.

3 - Pilot opens parachute.

4 - Pilot arrives to water death.

Well...I can live with this sequence...But I like a survivor pilot, too.

Best regards.

Because this animatin' & scriptin' is obviously so easy, how about if he launches a Very Flare or pops a smoke can when he's in the water?

:yeah: Great idea! But...the pilot is death...Or not?

A mod missing in SH3 is the interception of radio messages from the attacked ships. Historically, the U-boats tried to intercept the distress or SOS comunications from the attacked ships, and by this way, they could identify the victim. Is possible to make a mod with a trigger when a merchant is torpedoed, with a message (written) in the radio page: "SOS, This is the SS Laconia, we´re attacked by the damn germans!!!".

Even if it's possible to mod in a victim's distress call and a trigger to make it come through as radio message in the game - how are you going to work in all the thousands of possible ship names? And for those who value the realism aspect, would you be able to make the ship name that gets used for a particular ship's distress call match up to the class of ship that just got hit?

Imagine you just IDed the Hood, put three torpedoes into her and she's sinking... and your radioman intercepts a message tipping you off to the fact that you just sank the SS Minnow. :haha:

Not to mention the fact that for those people using Real Ship Names in Commander, there'd be no way to make the name that appeared in your post-patrol log match the ship name in the distress call you intercepted in game. And at least the names you get from Commander's Ship Names function do match up to the ships you actually sank.

Although I agree it might be cool if you could get a radio intercept confirming that a ship has reported that she is sinking, even without a name for the ship included. Not sure how this would be worked into the mix... it appears that when the "magic moment" is reached where a ship is deemed sunk by the game, that immediately triggers the "She's going down" message from your crew... so having that event trigger the radioman to report an intercept of the ship's message saying the same thing would be redundant at that point. I guess you could substitute one for the other. :hmmm:

Yes; unfortunately this is just not possible due to the reasons she stated.

Interestingly, this WAS possible in Silent Hunter II using the Kriegstanz developer. And yes, it was indeed nice to get a message that matched the ship type (names could be designated as freighter names, tanker names, battleship names, etc.) I suppose newer isn't always better...

Sorry for driving you crazy.:D

Animations are not that hard once you actually work on them.
Misfit Modeler will do animations and is a free 3D Modeler.
I highly recommend it.
:yeah:

I use 3DS Max and Cryptic AR (Animation Rig) myself.
Cryptic AR is free and is an outstanding Tool for Max users.
I also use several scripts to export the animated Meshes to seperate obj files for import.

Misfit may require seperate exports for each frame as I've never looked at possible plug-ins or such for animations done in it.
:hmmm:

WaterInterAction can trigger whatever you want for the most part.
So flares and such could be done.

I'd look for a randomization technique so not every Pilot popped flares,
Nor survived the exiting of the aircraft/waterlanding.

This mod just keeps getting better and better!

[urfisch]

yes, privateer is a really great, important and significant ressource of knowledge here. same as skwasjer, tdw, divingduck, anvart and all the other great "code-diggers".

i am always surprised, what these people afforded for all of us.

:salute:

[Madox58]

Now you make me blush.
:oops:
:D

Doing the animation is just a part of the coolness to come.
By useing keyframeing and other objects?

You can get the Cowl blowing off and such.
Plus you rotate the pilot and chute so it looks correct at first.
Then you have him swaying a bit.
:doh:

[brett25]

yes, privateer is a really great, important and significant ressource of knowledge here

:yeah: I notice the way he always pops up at key times to provide essential info. Rarely takes credit, and yet hes part of so many great mods...hats off

and great job all of you on this mod

[TheDarkWraith]

If I can get an update on the changes made I can update the mod so that I can release a new version for others to enjoy :up:

[maillemaker]

So I guess this mod never went anywhere with the lifeboat? I'd at least like to see the pilot bobbing in the water waving his arms, like the dude in the lifeboats&debris mod does.

Seems to me if he was alive enough to eject and pop his chute he ought to be alive in the water.

Plus it gives me something else to shoot at with the AA guns. :D

[Fish In The Water]

Plus it gives me something else to shoot at with the AA guns. :D

Yes but he should at least be decent enough to stop all the flailing about so we don't have to waste as many rounds... ;)

The guy providing these resources should be crowned King, I fall back to his archives many times!

Edit: "the guy" is Plissken, should have mentioned that in the first place :oops: , thx sublynx.

[sublynx]

You can say that again! I guess everyone who starts adding mods to their SH3 ends up visiting Plissken's server sooner or later. There's a huge treasure chest of mods that can no longer be found anywhere else on the planet there :salute:

[Txema]

Excellent !!!

Thank you very much !!!

Kamicazes!:Kaleun_Salute:After a very long silent run!


I really do like the idea of welcoming the (new) captains here, or all over the place, but wouldn't it be a good idea to additionally even try to help those guys asking for help :doh: ?

Is it all about post count or what :doh: ? It sometimes really gets rather difficult to separate the core of the threat in question from blablabla..., even if the intention of the whole welcome committee is a good one, and I know it is a good intention... but sometimes...:88)


Kamicazes!, please go to the mediafire page of my dear friend Magic:

http://www.mediafire.com/magic1111#yhhv23rf400h4

Scroll down all the way to "TDW" in the SH3 MODS section, and there it is...

[Aktungbby]

Is it all about post count or what ATTENTION ALL GREETING COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Pursuant to Danasan -Elite Spam Hunter's well considered and meritorious observation, All greeters http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/images/subsim_welcome_icon.png (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=313053&tab=myawards#aw_issue126)will be required to render assistance along with the greeting. After a 24 hour period, the greeting post shall be deleted so as not to give the appearance of attempting to inflate the post count...as I have just done to set a sterling example!:D AKTUNGBBY-Mundane Spam Hunter

Got it, thank you! For both the welcome and the help! Magic's collection is a treasure!

Is it all about post count or what PARDON! It is I who am the offended party!:D The more so as I have received an infraction for deleting over 600-1000 of my posts in the past-so post count is hardly an issue... :oops: http://www.collegehumor.com/post/7011522/everything-is-offensive-to-everybody (http://www.collegehumor.com/post/7011522/everything-is-offensive-to-everybody):O:

[danasan]

Well, I MYSELF REPORTED MY POST HERE to the admin as biased.

Why?

It is not about YOU, personally, there is nothing wrong with you at all, or me, but I think there could be a better way to keep the focus on the subject of the thread in question. It is a real pain to go through all the posts to find out you have the answer to what? Wait a minute... Errrr... What was the question?

[Aktungbby]

A Hamm's to U with that Sir! :Kaleun_Cheers: :Kaleun_Salute:

[Jimbuna]

I'll throw open a suggestion or two here if I may....

I take the point that greeting a newcomer to the forum who's first post is a plea for help can confuse the original context or reason of said thread. However, it was Neals idea to create the welcome committee, a good idea IMHO, a simple means of engendering and continuing the friendly spirit that abounds throughout our community.

One point regarding the above that does strike me as being a little strange is the oft seen 'welcome after a long silent run' to a member who has been a member longer than the welcomer.

I have been guilty of the above on occasion myself, hence my suggestions being just that.

Automatically deleting posts after a given time period will serve no other purpose than to create more work for the moderation team as they are required to read what has been deleted, plus the fact the deletions make the boards look untidy and create more housekeeping duties than are reasonably necessary.

In conclusion....my suggestion is that greetings to pleas for help should only be posted if accompanied by assistance to the original question. Multiple and systematic deletions of posts have always and continue to be a no-no.

[Magic1111]

Magic's collection is a treasure!

My pleasure mate! :up:

BTW, hi danasan my friend! :salute:

[bstanko6]

This is a fun mod. Using it right now!

[johnboy1958]

Another mod I made for SH5 that I ported over to SH3. When an airplane is destroyed (explodes in air) the pilot(s) will now eject and parachute to the water. Due to ejecting in the explosion the pilots suffered severe injuries and thus died from the explosion. When they impact the water they will float face down.

Unzip straight to MODS folder and enable via JSGME.

NOTE: I added entries to the \data\Zones.cfg file so it probably won't be compatible with most large mod compilations. You'll need to add the appropriate entries in the compilation mods's zones.cfg file if it has one.

SH3's Flak gun training mission is a great mission to see this in action.

The stock SH3 Zones.cfg file was used as base for this mod. To update other mod's Zones.cfg file you need to add the following entries to them (highlighted in yellow):

Here you can see pilot ejected:

And here he is floating down to the water:

And here he is after impacting the water:

Contributors:
- Testpilot: new parachute and pilot for parachute

v1.0: initial release
v2.0: added new parachute and pilot for parachute by Testpilot.
adjusted fall speed of parachute to allow more 'hang-time'
adjusted how much pilot and parachute has to submerge before showing dead, floating pilot
