Ahhhh man! Sober has let loose THE secret weapon, the infamous 60,000 ton flatulent Fattleship. God help us all.

Tragor, if you post new screenies reflecting the recent changes, I will update the dowload page with them

... and since we are at it one last stupid question: do we need to enable your wooden lifeboats on top of Ronge's liferafts, or they can be used as a standalone mod?

I will update the screenshots when I get home today.
In regards to the questions: either or

If you want a mix of the liferafts and wooden lifeboats: activate this mod after Rongel's. This mod will work on its on also, if you just activate it as is.

Nice job making this mod even better guys, the boats run smooth and look great!

added version 2 to sobers mega mod list.

I just noticed this mod - nice work!

Just a few suggestions based on the screenshots:

Is there any way to add more people to each lifeboat? I think about 10 - 20 should be about right.

Also, I noticed in a screenshot that a sinking tanker had lots of boats around it. Is there a way to make sure that merchants only spawn a few lifeboats? For a troopship lots of lifeboats are OK, but most WWII cargo ships & tankers would have only carried between 2 - 6 wooden boats; having more than that seems a little strange. Thanks a lot.

I think adding more survivors is in Targor's todo list of this mod, but IIRC he encountered some difficulties in doing it, though I cannot remember exactly what the problem was.

Each ship's cfg file got the following settings:

CrewComplement
SurvivalRate
SurvivalPercentage

The first one is quite self-explanatory. I have no idea about the difference between the second and the third one though

Thanks, gap and iambecomelife.

yes, adding more people into the boat is on my todo list. Unforunately, there are some problem adding more bones to the mesh at the moment and TDW is looking into it.

In regards to the spawning: it's actually pretty good. The large amount of boats in that screenie comes not from the tanker, but from the troop transporter. Tanker spits out maybe 2-3 max.

This worked great on sobers mega mod list

One thing, since I dont take prisoners and I was well outside a shipping lane I decided to finsh em off in the lifeboat for humane reasons. So the deck gun hit to no effect, then I tried the anti aircraft gun and the same thing. Was considering ramming in my angst but then was concerned about damaging my hull so I left em to die of thirst painful and slow

Just think, but you can repeat the fate of Captain U-852!

lol

So are the lifeboats invincible by design or is it a game limitation or bug?

Any unit in game can be destroyed, as long as it got a CollisionableObject controller, bounding spheres and damage zone boxes in its .zon file

Looking closely to the crew, they look really desesperate! Awesome!
