EDIT: 25-JUL-2007

Buoy_Mod_V1.0 released.

http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/9...buoy003fz5.jpg


I don´t call this my mod as many have worked hard to achieve this goal. I´m just the guy who put this together. This mod contains 6 buoys with flashing/steady lights and bell ringing sound. It´s best to use with the Campaign_SCR.mis. I hope someone more talented and familiar with mission editor takes up on this issue. Allthough I´ve created a little demo mission it is not intended to be used for single mission design only.

• 2 different buoy models
• 6 different buoys
• transparent glass
• flashing / steady light version
• numbering plates (controllable via mission editor)
• bell ringing sound
• ambient sound

ATTENTION when installing and using this mod.

I´ve packed 3 different SH3.sdl files into the archive.

• SH3.sdl_GWX103
• SH3.sdl_NYGM
• SH3.sdl_Stock

When installing, make sure to copy the respective SH3.sdl_??? from the Buoys_V1.0\documentation folder to ...\MODS\... .
Enable this tiny addition, before running it the first time. Otherwise you will not hear any bellringing sound.


READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY !!!

Who is DUVING DUCK ? :rotfl:

Agreed great work as ever DD

:88) :rotfl:

I've edited my message. :up:
:rotfl:

DD - this looks great! Appreciate all the tweaks you've made so far, too. Is there any way to add these to the campaign, or are these only usable in player-made single missions?

If only in player-made missions... is it possible to go into the campaign maps and manually add these? Sounds like a challenge, but if so I'd be willing to give it a shot.

Moin,
the original ReadMe says to put it into the Campain_SCR. But doing so resulted in a CTD. But as the MissionEditor isn´t my best friend, I´ve most probably made a mistake.

Regards,
DD

If you want to fire them over DD will look at in mission ed if you like
Its not my friend either but we have come to an understanding
:rotfl:

Small light and so much joy!!
 

AMAZING STUFF!!!
----these BUOYs could be in entrance of each port to shine the way for shipZ----
[in SH3 patched and modded to ver. GWX 1.4]:D

Perfect work Ducky!!

Moin,
thanks for the offer. But as I don´t have permission to release by the original author I´ll withhold it for the moment. Besides there´s still a lot of garbage in the *.dat file I have to remove.
In case Gary doesn´t reply, I´ll make a new one from scratch or ask ppontius to use his model.

Regards,
DD

Hi Diving Duck,
nice work as usually ;)
If you get no answer from Gary (I think he is banned from subsim :hmm:)
you can always use my model. I can't finish it this year anyway. But you know it is my first 3D-model ever and lacks efficiency and the mapping is bad. So maybe a new model would be best. But if you want to I can always send you my buoys :)
greetings,
pontius

Moin,
that´s good news. I still have your model, as I don´t throw away good stuff. So, if there´s nothing changed ...

Regards,
DD

Hey great Work !

I got an Idea for this buoy´s for better handling in Missioneditor !

If you take them one by one into the Map its an hard work but if you can made a String out of them yust like an Subnet it would be easy to bring them in.
The settings must be one bouy each seamile ( 1,8 Km ).
So they have to be in the Ordnance !

Is it possible to work out ?

Nothing changed, except that i tried to make it a clone of your barrels to get a better swimming-performance. Now they are still cloned-iceberg-dats -> slowly up and down movement and sub-killing :) But since then time went away, so the version you have is the furthest. :roll:

Moin,

@pontius:
I taught your buoy manners. ;) The only thing I need is the 3D model.
But the old problem of drifting away still persists. :shifty:

@AOTD_MadMax:
Sorry, but unfortunately that´s not possible. The link between "StaticObject" (minefield dummy and subnet dummy) and "UnderwaterFloatingObject" (mines and subnets) is hardcoded. No way to create a new set unless the SDK is released. But nobody of us will live long enough to see.

DD

This has to be added in GWX1.04! :rock:
