However, some crew members heads literally don't fit in the helmets, so I also had to change their heads in the .chr files in Goblin. Still, not a big deal.

Oh this is promising then. I see what you're saying about their heads fitting though. You're already looking into it is a big plus though as it will be figured out.

@TDW, if you would like me to throw together a little mod that makes the helmets work I will, and I will send it to you. I would bet that you will find a smoother way of doing it though

the easier way is to modify the .aix file for it

Very simple.

That's what I am talking about, you have to use the .aix to get helmets to go on, and come back off again. I suppose you could control what head the character has from there as well.

Head, torso, hat, objects (they are holding), etc. are controlled from there.

Yes, I know you can control those things from there. But, they are also controlled by the .chr files.

You can load them up in Goblin and see for yourself. I used the .chr files in my interior mod to use some heads on the crew that were not used by the devs originally.

Yes you can use the .chr file. That will set their defaults. Using the .aix files one can dynamically change them on the fly

You should give the cook a break if is possible, this guy is cooking day and night. Would be cool if you can make him to walk around, chat or even sleep. He should cook only 3 times/day. Same for the crew.. they should work in shift, same way as in previous sh versions. But i think there is long way or even impossible to achieve this goal right now.

Ok no more superman arms (arms extended when going through doors and hatches). If the crewmember is walking to the front of the boat they will rotate at every door. If they are walking to the back of the boat they will not.

Have all 4 people in bed, bosun, and cook going forward on crash dive now

New video here soon.

New video is complete. I think you all will be stunned

Realize that I've only been working on this for less than 2 days. I'm sure I can make it even better with time.

The crew are not running in this video. They can and will run but I have to make new waypoints for it. I don't want to use the existing waypoints and force them all to run. If I do then it will look silly when a crewmember is going to a station in a hurry for no reason. Once I make new waypoints then those waypoints will be just for running. This way I can have waypoints for normal walking and waypoints for running.

I'll edit this post when it's complete (should be about 15mins to upload - 65MB)
