Download: here (ca 4.07MB)




EDIT: 25-JUL-2007

Buoy_Mod_V1.0 released.




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 !!!

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.

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.
