[WIP] Abandon Ship

[U570]

Hi all,
I have been thinking, seeing as many U-boats have abandoned ship, why not implement it, of at least graphically? I have imported SH4 lifeboat models to S3D, and I am just wondering; how do I spawn a couple of these using a keyboard shortcut? It would be immersing to stand on the bridge and see 4 liferafts sail away, while you crash dive the sub and stay until the end.

I had thought about it too on last days...some ideas:

- we can have some real WWII movie for each situation (rescue by friendly ship or uboat, rescue by enemy, destroyed by enemy or perish at sea without help). These can be called using a routine on SH3 script this way: if you want to abandon for any motivation, then you press a specific key that will roll the dice internally that will call the correct movie and finish! It´s absolutelly factible.
I tried to find these movies on the net but it´s not easy! If someone can help I can made the mod.

- another possibility is to make these movies using Sh3 itself. Again a help from someone that have good skiils to make these movies is necessary. Here we can use our imagination, including life boats etc. Having them, I can finish the mod.

I guess that my wife will throw my pc by window...I just achieve to have a working real 3d abandon boat mod.

It works this way:
- When you want to abandon you will press CRTL+ALT+B and the process begins,

1. A sound (voice) is played saying to prepare to abandon boat,
2. A voice confirming a radio message sent,
3. Then, small and few (3 to 5) lifeboats start to be deployed one by one, going slowly away,
4. A last dive command is listing,
5. Few moments late, a explosion is listen and saw and the boat goes down until that Black Screen of Dead comes
6. Then, a dice is rolling internally...

(until this point the mod is done)

7. Then the correct window will be oppened on the background, showing in a static image, what was your fate and your crew (my idea here is to have 3 possibilities: a image showing the survivors being rescue by a friendly uboat or an image of the survivors being rescuing by allied ship or a image showing the survivors lost at deep ocean).

I need help on the sound voices and also on the background images. If someone can help please let me know.

That is exactly how I would've done it! except I didn't know how to.
Great job Rubini.

Like I said, to finish it, will be need the sound with the correct voices in german what i can´t do. We need to wait for help.
