@donut:

unfortunately it isn´t that easy. The mines are different from other units used in the game. Other units as vessels or icebergs use an own folder with their own *.sim, *.zon, *.val, ... files. The NavalMine is an "under water floating object" that is bound to MinfieldDummy.dat. Minefields are defined as "static objects". Some of the minefield's properties, e.g. beeing static, apply for the mines too as they are attached to the MinefieldDummy.dat. Until now I haven´t found the link between these files. The only way to bring in a mine(field) is the mission editor. I´ve created a second ...Dummy.dat but failed to attach a new object. The new one just uses the NavalMines that are already present.
A second approach was to alter a unit´s *.sim file. I´ve added some parameters defining drag in certain directions. But in SHIII it did not lead to a "static" behaviour.
