Didn't you ask for some on the ice flows in GWX3.0 :hmm:

This mod sounds great PT, best of luck, and keep us informed of your progress.
I guess there will be people willing to test it out throughly.

Any chance you can attenuate the very unrealistic "bobbing" of ships in calmer waters. Just one look at the "floating docks" in kiel gives me a stomache ache, how the hell a bloke was supposed to hammer rivets whilst the whole rig is jumping about the place like a rodeo is beyone me.

I get the impression the ships are no where near "heavy" enough in calmer waters. I've been on big, small and medium ships in my time including HMS Sheffield (old destroyer, sunk in Falklands/Malvinas/Whatever)....not one of them bobbed they way SH3 ships do.

Right, thats my "moan of the day" aired....now whose for a came of fluffy care-ball.

Penguins in the arctic? :huh:

Must be one of those psychological warfare plots to fool convoys into thinking they're off course and sow confusion, making them easy pickin's for the wolf packs. :p

You might try the Lifeboats and Debris with Boyancy Update. I makes the boats feel alot 'heavier' in the water.

Bastard! Almost got me fired! :rotfl:

I was reading your "floating dock" comentary and laughing my ass off, when all off the sudden, my boss enters my room and say "whatta hell are you laughing at?". I had to invent a story, it was pretty close...

Anyway, don't worry about the bobbing, I'm fixing that.

No, I'm not improving that, I'm FIXING that!

:up:

Yay, no more hitting fingers while hammering in nails and stuff.:lol:

I really look forward to seeing how this turns out :up:

My only concern is convoy behavior after it becomes evident it is under attack. Once these big merchants start zig-zagging, are we going to see the convoy lanes smashing through each other? Or will the AI be smart enough to either synchronize its movements or take an evasive course?

Ships will behave like ships, they will be slow and heavy, slow acceleration and slow brakes and slow turns, just like a ships should be.

If the ship's ramm eachother, it's not the ship's fault, it's the capitain's fault.

Really? I always thought it was "within production"... :lol:

Great, thanks for letting me know! :up:

The most strange thing just happened now. I went to bed late, around 3am, trying to set the ships for this mod. They didn't behave like I imagined. Then I went to bed, and I had a dream about modding this. I dreamt that I was imputing some values in S3D, and I woke up in a shock, like a bad dream, around noon... the values were still in my head. I went straight away to the computer and test those values, and they work like a charm!

lol...

I really need to stop modding... :lol:

I have often had similar revelations PT. Amazing what the brain can do when dreaming!
