strange that I didn't notice them before, but again, my gaming experience of SH5 sucks.

P.S: the sailors in your screenshots look like dat objects. Have you ever thought of replacing them with GR2 characters? While digging into the characters folder I have noticed that there are (probably unused) animations for dead bodies

Forgive me for my ignorance about the zone files thing, but is the update FX WIP, or is already included in the version 0.0.22?
If so, how can I make every unit play that cool effects?

All the stock merchant units are already covered by FXU, and they got the zones mentioned by TDW. Only warships and OH's merchants need those zones added.

I thought about them too.

There are many shark models freely available on the web, and making them to spawn in game the way TDW's debris or lifeboats do, shouldn't be a problem either. But animating them would probably take more time than it is worth, and I am not even sure that I would like seeing a bank of voracious sharks every time a ship is going to sink.

Yep, I remember them, but for some reason I was sure that your mod also featured dead bodies (the ones I saw were probably from FXU). Sorry for giving distorted informations about it

Though not having ever played either of the SH5 predecessors, I appreciate very much your work. In the past I have carefully studied many of your mods and learned some good lessons from them. Seeing at least some of your units in SH5 (as GR2 ships) would be awesome

P.S: have you noticed that since when I re-uploaded your wooden lifeboats on subsim, it got almost 500 downloads? This is quite an high score for an old mod like yours

Keep us informed!
