[REQ] Marine life?

Barosx2 · 03-12-10, 10:19 AM

I'm sure its not possible, but the Modders on here rock my boat..and if possible you have a friend for life

So I'll ask:

What is the chance of been able to put in some Shoals of fish, Sharks? or perhaps the best would be Whales?

I've seen a few sub films of Sonar tracking a "Target" only to find a Whale there?

or at least working in it out if its a Marine life or Man made.

But good from a Graphical point of few to see a Pod of Whales swim by or School of Sharks (Whatever the collective group names are)

I think all those extra animations would eat your system.

I take it then its a no from everyone..

I was wondering about that too, especially the way seaguls can be found around ports. could a shoal of fish be rendered only when external camera is activated.

I would like to see this as well. I requested it when sh-5 was still in development. I always thought sh-3/4 ,s ocean just looked like there was some kind of polution problem because of the lack of fish in it.

Wouldn't be against some sort of "seagull code" and random generators being used to show different kinds of fish and bird life. Didn't GWX have whales?

I never really "found" the whales in GWX. Were they actually rendered? I definitely followed biological sounds around with the hydrophone trying to find animals. But maybe I just didn't try hard enough?
It might be possible for some intrepid modder, or group of modders once they get under the hood more and more. Would certainly be fun to stumble across animals here and there.

There were definitely dolphins in GWX, I found those!

Wonder if you could take the seagull stuff, change the model, slow the speed and lower the height to make them fish?

Or just change the models of the U Class subs to Clownfish.

hah hah. That would be hilarious. Wonder if they would follow your boat all over like the seagulls. That'd be perfect.

That would mean trading the seagulss for fish? Nah i dont think so. Also i dont think fish would actually follow a u-boat since its big scary looking and makes a lot of sound.
