[REQ] Thermal Layer

Gargamel · 03-20-11, 01:46 AM

With TDW's recent DC mod, I would imagine that this becomes more likely?

Sorry if this is stepping over some line, as I imagine it's been requested a lot, but from reading that thread it seemed like TDW made a breakthrough in the code, and I was hoping to spur some ideas in our modders.

Then it becomes it historical question. I'm not sure if they knew about these then, and if they could use them. Anybody? Either way, It'd be nice to see this mod for gameplay purposes.

no breakthrough in code. I just use controllers in ways they weren't meant to (or thought of) by the devs

But a breakthrough either way.... you think it may be possible to do this with your approach though?

Would it also be possible now to add transparent water?

SH3 commander has a thermal layer option and you can configure it by editing Randomised events.cfg.

Yes, thermal layers were known, and the USN outfitted their Submarines with equipment to locate them.

Hi,
They were certainly known about since British escorts used a bathythermograph to find the layer. It had a pressure and temperature sensitive unit into which a smoked glass slide was fitted, on which a stylus created a graph, which could be read against a scale. It was trailed on a wire when the information was needed.
Submarines had a setup similar to a barograph and knew where that layer was,if it existed,when in hazardous situations.
