Kinda offtopic.. Rongel, pls stick around. You are very talented and exactly what the SH5 community need. And TDW need a challenge anyway, he is kinda bored being the best moder here

[stoianm]

I noticed him long time ago when he made the Batlestation mod and the Wasserbomben... very talented moder

@ Rongel....

Here is my first try... very bad results:





Here is my second try:




I increased the speed, reduced the draft and i reworked the pitch and roll to be close to immersive.... tell me if you like it and i will send you in PM... if you not like it i can try to rework again

EDIT: I will rework more... it is not well balanced

[Budds]

Not the best Pic.... But this is what I get, and it aint bad.

[Stormfly]

dont forget to add the "help me" sounds to it, as aviable in the liveboats mod for SH3 (picture above)

[zachanscom]

wow even lifeboats needed to be modded on? *facepalm*

It seems that it overwrite some Magnum opus files could this become a problem?

I don't use MO myself so I can't be certain, what files are being overwritten? Anyway I'm quite sure it's nothing too important. If you are using Open Horizons II, be sure that it's installed after this, because it uses newer SH.sdl file.

Survivor nationality
Hi,
I haven't read this whole thread through, so I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but:
I just sank a small British flag freighter, and looking close at the surviving crew members on a raft, most of them have shirts with the German eagle emblem on the right side of their chest. This can't be right.
The survivors of a sunk British ship surely cannot all be German POWs?

Rongel, can this be fixed? After all, the targets we try to sink in SH5 are allied nationalities, whose crew are not carrying German clothing/emblems.

Apart from this the mod seems to work nicely, incl. the sounds.

Sori! En ollut huomannut sun postiasi ollenkaan, kesähulinat vissiin ollut päällä.

You have a very good eyesight! Yep, the guys in the boats are actually german commandos from the SpecOps Boat! But I think something can be done (and will be done) to fix this! Stay tuned for updates

The game has a system where it spawns different number of boats to different ships, at times they don't spawn any boats at all. But this mod is bit out-dated if you are playing with OH II, because it has many new nations that this mod doesn't recognice. I'll update the roster files too in the new version!

I am very glad to see this thank you much for making him, a seaman hates to leave other seaman adrift on the open sea in the water so this is an ease for this old kaptain's heart even tho we must do our duty it is not against seamen we fight but the enemy nation. thank you again.

Hi,

first of all thank you very much for making this mod!

Currently im at work But will try this today evening!
Short question, does this mod collide with Open horizons 2 and magnum opus?


Ahoiii
