Reworked again the pitch&roll after TDW sugestions... i improuved a bit.. but i am still limited because the boats are to small... and we modified a lot the waves parameters... but i will say now it is acceptable... i can not do better than that:

Looks a bit weird to have so many spec ops boats.. how about importing the sh4 boats?

And what happens with these boats.. they start moving, despawn after a while, what?

I think these made by rongel are ok... yes.. if you put speed on them they are mooving... test in that mission and you will see... if we import from sh3 will be static... more too wired.. you can easy test... just install the sh3 mod and sink a ship... you will see the lifeboats... in my opinion a lot more realistic the ones that we have now from Rongel... and they are to manny in that mission because the nuber is related to the ship tah you sunk... that one was a very big liner ship... with a lot of persons at board... and some of them were dead in the water also

I first started playing with the Sh 4 lifeboats, that is where I got the idea. SH 4 has two different boats: small, inflatable lifeboat, much like the spec obs boat, and a larger wooden boat. Larger ships spawn wooden boats, smaller boats spawn liferafts. It's a good system but I just couldn't get it to work in SH 5. The boats do spawn, but if I try adding the crew, it crashes the game.

So there is the possibility to use two different boats, smaller and larger, but we just don't have any 3d-models to use, other than the spec obs boat.

Stoainm, thanks for the tuning again, this video looks okay to me

Exellent work with the rafts! I like the way they pitch and roll in the movie. I especially like the way they fall into wave valleys - nice gravitation feel.

Got the lifeboat sound FX playing! It adds a nice touch, when you sail past the lifeboats and hear their cries... grim. Not sure however if it makes the game unstable if there are many lifeboats in the water, the wav-file is quite large.

And does anybody know who made the sound effect to the SH 3 Wooden lifeboats mod? Iambecomelife? I should get the permission before I can use it. Anyway I'm going to make the sound optional, so many people have so different SH.sdl-files, it's impossible to make all the compatibility versions.

So the next WIP version will have roster entries for all countries, modified floating effect by Stoainm, and hopefully optional sound effect.
