lifeboat and torpedo mods for gwx 3.0

midnightrider1818 · 03-12-15, 01:02 AM

Hey guys. I was looking for a mod to add to sh3 with gwx 3.0 to include lifeboats. I found the lifeboats and debris mod but it says it only compatible with gwx 2.1. I was also looking for one to increase torpedo damage. Maybe it is just me but it seems it takes two or more torpedos to sink small to med size merchants. I thought this was a bit unrealistic.

Under the Keel shots are a lot more effective at sinking ships generally. Just that poor weather can cause a lot of premature detonations when you use magnetic triggers and shoot from any reasonable distance.

Large Cargos/Merchants can be one-shotted under the keel 50% of the time if you wait a bit (realistic sinking times). But most larger ships (except the Tankers/pyro ammunition ships which may blow up immediately) generally need two torpedoes to take down.

Lifeboats and Debris mod final, with animated rowers.

Wooden Lifeboats, by Iambecomelife. Adds the big wooden boats, but no animations.

As far as I know the two cannot be used together.

Rubini's "Lifeboat and Debris Mod" (see Sailor Steve's first link in the post above) ist compatible with GWX 2.1 AND GWX 3.0 Gold - because there are no significant changes between GWX 2.1 and GWX 3.0 Gold.

IIRC someone combined both mods from Rubini and Iambecomelife, but i don't know who it was.

Someone else said he was going to animate the Wooden Lifeboats mod, but it never happened.

Still have the version I was working on. Lost the animations when Win 7 blew up so I have to redo them all or finish stealing animations from SH4.

Well, I was careful not to point fingers. Creative people are busy people, and there's always real life to deal with too.

Well you did remind me to make sure I saved the files I have.

Finished adjusting a script that creates a SH properly scaled and placed Biped in 3D Max.
Tested importing a few BVH files and happy to say it's working great.

The exporter script to make it all work with S3D is also good to go again.
