Yes, you are right Sergei. My english, you know.... :88) :D

Sergei, any news on dolphins stuff?

Rubini.

where are these creatures... :P Is this mod downloadable now?

kriller2,

They will be in the next HT mod. They now have movement, wakes and splashes but don't follow waypoints, just go straight ahead...This annoying behaviour limit their use in the campaign files. Just more few days....

Rubini.

Hey, any update on this?

Dolphins are included in HT mod. Download the newest version, HT1.47.

Could you be so kind and tell me what HT stands for?
If I search the forum for "HT" I will find alot, but not what Im looking for :)

HT is Harbor Traffic...

Do a search, and I believe you will find some of Rubini's posts. Then download from his rapidshare links. :up:

Excellent, Rubini...at first, I thought the Mullet were running... :lol:

Hi Kapitanleutnant's

lot of dolphins sighted in La Spezia harbour!
Take care of them! :up:

1) Has anyone looked into getting the sounds to work for this mod yet? or is it not possible?
These values are all located in the DLF.dsd file of the Dolphin directory...

Ship.NF_boat.Shipwake
Ship._hyd_propeller_4
Ship.NF_boat._mix
Ship.NF_boat.Engine
Ship.NF_boat._hyd
Ship.NF_boat.Propeller
Identifier Propeller

anyone know what they point to? what links a ship or environmental object to a sound? is it through the executable?


2) Can a "dolphins spotted" announcement by watch officer be implemented? I see there are assignments that can be created for it in the dlf.sns file.

Tikigod,

Thanks for the interest in dolphins stuff!
Some months ago when the dolphin stuff was fresh, I contact Sergei a lot of times (he made the dolphins movement and wakes) about sounds, waypoints and contact report. But he said me that all he achieve is what we have now: ahead movement and wakes. Some time ago a good guy here (i don't remember who) contact me with whale sound to be implemented on the game. He just rename one sound on the game with the whale sound. And then we could listen whales on the hydrophone...
But we don't achieve to put this on dolphins. Maybe you can try and a new light can be on... :up:

Cheers,

Rubini.

What do you use to open a .dsd file to read it correctly? I get alot of garbage when i open it in text editor....

The last time I open it was with a HexEditor. Perhaps you can ask TimeTraveller to build a file for his great SH3 Mini Tweaker program. :hmm:

Rubini.

I'm working on high resolution textures for the dolphins in the current harbor traffic. Here are some screens of what they look like so far. I'm trying to get them really wet looking. Then I will probably make a few different types of them. I still don't know if I want to go light or dark. That is why it is half and half. Its an awkward 3-d model to work with...for instance the model bends close to where the eye is supposed to be.....but, I almost have it in the right spot. I think at least they are starting to look more natural than the default ones (example on page 1 of this post.)
