[REL] Playable S-Boot ( Final )

[bertle]

Do you actually sink when damaged?

I ask because in Sh3 stock or modded your sub, at surface, will never actually sink even with all compartments nearly flooded. As soon as you submerge you of course sink like a stone. Now this boat doesn't have huge air filled tanks keeping it afloat so does it sink or is it a hardcoded problem?

I know you'll eventually sink because I've seen us sink in multiplayer games. I don't know, though, if you can loose your boat to sinking instead of accumulated damage, which seems to be what usually takes us out.

Also (and this is, of course, very long range planning) the awards and qualifications may want to be looked at. It's a little weird having my crew being awarded U-boat badges! --grins--

For those of us who like to sling paint, is it possible to upload the image TGAs for this? I've got no clue how to extract things from DAT files...I think it was either DD or Privateer that tried to teach me but you can't teach this old dog new tricks

However I think I've read somewhere on subsim that the textures for the type II have to be included the .dat, the game won't read them if they're in the texture folder, not sure about this though :hmm:

Oh damn...that would explain why Koon only made 2 skins for that Type II class... Thanks for those files! I'll see if I can learn how to handle that DAT file but my fear is if I do add skins to it like that, eventually you'll update it and those skins will be useless...

Hey kids, here's a couple of WIP shots of the hi-res skin I'm working on. The skin shown here is 1024x1024. The original skin is 2048x2048, but it won't load up in game... or I just didn't have the patience for it to load (after the load-bar stood still for 10 mins I ctl alt deleted). I don't see why though, 2048x2048 skins load fine on the player sub models.

Anyway, heres some shots of a simple skin in Schnellbootweiss (Speed Boat White), which is what the majority seem to have been painted in. Still have a lot to do on it, though.

Cheers BBW! That should give me a lot to work on.

If you go in Mission editor and open some single mission and then mark this mission like "multiplayer" then total sinking is viewable(end mission screen pops up but game don´t pause) like in multiplayer game. OK campaign is something totally different so this is not possible to enable there.

Or maybe some moders know how to create "single" campaign to be treated like MP campaign?:hmm:

This is a massive undertaking Mikhayl. If you're going to do it properly --as I've no doubt you are and will-- there is a ton of things to do. Don't worry, we won't be pestering you for a full release for, oh, another week at least.

(If anyone wants be to host MP games just PM or message me; otherwise I'm trying to play with creating a playable DD)
