Can't for the life of me get the life boats mod to work

Fozzy22 · 04-11-10, 06:32 PM

Hi all,
I've tried adding this mod using JSGME but for all the ships i've sunk there have been no life boats or other "debris" other than the wooden boxes. Any other tips or maybe i'm not supposed to use JSGME, i just don't know?

I had it working, but once I installed the hi-res mod it quit working.

How many ships have you sunk? The game randomizes the spawn of liferafts, so it's possible to sink several in a row with no survivors.

I was starting to think it wasn't working for me either, after sinking several ships and seeing nothing. But then I sank one that spawned a liferaft. So they definitely don't show up for every ship sunk.

If you do a 'Kill Shot' that destroys the ship
no survivors will appear.

It has to be a slow death type kill.
The nodes are attached to the main Hull object.
(Last time I checked anyway)
Break a ship in two and that's gone!
It must reach a set depth while sinking to spawn the rafts and such.

You mean when they sink on even keel after sometimes 30mins or more?
I will be installing this mod on my next patrol.

No, I'm pretty sure it has stopped working for me entirely.

For one thing, not only am I not EVER seeing any lifeboats, but none of the other debris, either - barrels, bodies, etc.

All I ever get now are crates, just like stock.
