If there were generic environmental entries (type 105) in the campaign, then you may get icebergs instead of debris. That might look odd in some areas of the Atlantic, or in the Mediterranean.

However, if one could create a second 'merchant' entry for environmental objects other than icebergs, this could possibly work.:hmm:

Also, DivingDuck, are you planning to create other type of debris such as crates or planks?

Icebergs are covered differently in GWX AG
So they are now spottable

AFAIK there are currently no type105 entries in the GWX files so it wont be a problem to add generically

Just one q DD
Do they drift ? or do they need to be scripted as to show a drift

Oh definitely more yes, well done. Live floating birds would be nice. Bits of wood etc, all the junk sometimes seen in ports. I have always thought the ports were a little too clean :p This is of course before the E.U environmental regs. By the way, what is the emissions spectrum from an average U-Boat.

The *.tga file(s) is/are used for texturing.
Don´t know neromedia file format. Which file could that be? Could you be more precise and give the names of the related files?

DD

the file reads
mine_01.dat neromediaplayer 10/04/2007 23:15 33.899 82% 6,169 dd_debris_v1.2 update\data\sea\mine_01

this file holds all relevant information for the respective unit such as 3d objects, textures used, nodes for loadout, sound, smoke. All other files in a unit´s folder refer to that file.
