If you have the Oar colors fix?
Get rid of it as it is included with this mod.

Files changed:
Secondary.dat
Lifeboat_Sailors.dat
And most all files in NLifeboat_02

Software used:
3DS Max 2008 - 3D model work and UV mapping
SoftImage 2010 - AO burning
S3D - of course!
XVI32 Hex Editor - adjusting what S3D could not
Njob (a great tool for creating the N0? textures)
Gimp 2.6.11 - Texture work and inverting the N0? texture

Credits:
Me
Coors Brewing Company (gotta have something to ease the back pain!)
skwasjer (for S3D)
Vlad from the SH5 Team (Pointers on SoftImage)
and of course our favorite, elanaiba!:rock:(Go between for Vlad and me)

:rock:

But...get rid of the new oars? I just got them. :wah:

Cry Baby!
:nope:
It's in this new Mod so you'll still have the fix!
:yep:

And when I upgrade this mod?
You'll whine then to won't you?
:haha:

:up:

We are proffesional whinners :haha:

But... where's the First Aid Kit? :hmmm:

And blankets, bilge pump, masts and sails, provisions, signal flags, tiller, water containers, fishing kits and... and...



No, only kidding :D - it looks very good! :up:

Just found this "Lifeboat Regulations": http://www.usmm.org/lifeboat.html

I would love to ... erm no.. that sure means warcrimes tribunal ;)

Looks great! Compatable with RFB?

Nice :up:

I'll be updateing this Unit along with the other liferaft soon.
More guys on board, gear and stuff so it does not look so empty.
Webster's Real Lifeboat fix will be rolled in also.
The only thing needing changed in his sim is the draught.
That's due to the different size of the Stock compared to new model.

This mod should be compatible with all major and minor Mods.
As Webster told me,
We seem to be the only ones messing with Life boats.
:shucks:

I'm also messing with zoneing them for the potental War Criminals amongst us.
:haha:

:arrgh!: maybe they could fire back ? ;)

Yup, that's me. :yep:

Nothing better to do at the moment. :D

I knew dat! :shifty:

Of course. It's fun.

Since when?:stare: I never got paid! :wah:

I do it for fun. :D

That is very nice Privateer! :up:

Looks very nice, Privateer :up:

Any plans for a GWX3/SH3 version :oops:

Cheers, LGN1

Thanks privateer, looks like a definite improvement.

This... made me chuckle, considering how long it took you to adopt it. :D

Nice job on the lifeboat!
