Thiking of a new mod- Real Ship Mod

swdw · 02-24-08, 03:46 PM

We've been discussing various fixes that the merchants and warships need in SH4.

I was thinking about doing the fixes and having them be a part of RFB, but then I started to have another idea.

It seems it would be better to have a seperate mod that anyone can use.

What this mod would entail is correcting the physics of the surface ships and the cfg files. People could take it for their mod and whatever recognition manual they want to update to use with it.

I've had some good results playing with the Mogami in reducing her acceleration and increasing her turning radius.

Anyway- throwing this out to the community. If you like this,it will take help from some of the more knowledgable people in digging up info and testing (Like tater, otherwise known as "Mr IJN"

)

sounds fantastic -- was getting tired of the incredible acceleration on surface ships, watching them repeatedly speed out of the way of a spread of torps.

personally, i think it's vital -- so why leave it out of rfb?

It wouldn't be left out of RFB, but would appear as a seperate folder in JSGME.

Sounds great 2 me 2

Schultzy · 02-24-08, 09:21 PM

All for it! A very emphatic YES from me!

It only seems reasonable. If the sub and torpedoes perform realistically, so should the target vessels.
I volunteer to help in any way that I can. I would probably be of more use doing research than programming.
This mod is a great idea.

thank you , your work will be part of every modders game in one form or the other. i have been a strong supporter of the stand alone mod style because it does just as you said, it allows everyone to use it in there own way.

Yep, yep, yep....if I am allowed a voice in this then I heartily concur. Seldom do I like each and ever thing included in any super mod and like to pick and choose what I want to employ and what I do not.

I never was a big fan either of unisex or one size fits all .

Sounds good

Nah, I like the jet ski reaction of tons of steel. Especially the tankers! This is long overdue Swdw.

Ping!

Hopefully I'll have my PC set up in the "man cave" next week.

tater · 09-19-08, 01:53 PM

On topic, I have a number of ideas for merchant shipping, several I have experimented with that required some of the S3D improvements to finalize. I'm slightly rusty, frankly. Might dive in in earnest in a few weeks.

that would be amazing!

Please DO SO!

RFB is great, but "advanced" users prefer to customize their own install to personal taste, and this mod would be a blessing.

If you can include in the readme the tweaks done to files, that would allow easy coordination with other mods used

Sounds sweet, I'm tired of speed boat warships.
