[WIP] Museum Mod

[V13dweller]

I am currently working on a mod that changes the course of the ships in the Museum.

I am trying to create a path through a very scenic route that all ships and subs can pass through.

I will keep any inquisitive people who might be interested in this informed.
Images will appear here as I progress further.

I will even consider making custom routes in different versions of the mod.

PM me a message showing the route in the SH5 in game map, and I will attempt to create you a custom route.

name changes can be done by modderators so you don't need to bother neal with such things

I fixed it for you but if you want something different just let me know

Tank you!

Out of curiosity, what files are you editing? As I told you yesterday, I wasn't aware that we could change location and path of museums units

There is a mod for the museum already out there.

Pimp your data/Museum/Museum.mis.

I was not aware of this, But I, when possible, will be creating Custom routes for anybody who asks.

Who said there cannot be two?

Thank you echolot

nice mod, but unfortunately the link has expired...

I do have a problem where the units in the museum appear to divert from their waypoints and make a sharp left turn and usually crash into land, and I am having trouble finding out why.

Fixed.

Take this into account and place the waypoints not too close to land. Switch to aeroplane and back will let the ships sail from the beginning of your waypoints.

Of course. I would love to see more pimped museums (locations, scenerys). New York would be nice, but I had some problems with that scene.

Cool mod thanks

[V13dweller]

Do you mean, the only way to have the ships not veer to the left is switch to air aircraft then switch to a ship?

Nice mod
Thanks Echolot

They will always turn to left (my experience), but switching to aircraft and back to ships preventing them sailing into land. They then sail from the beginning of the route.
Maybe they always want to sail in one direction (north, south,..), maybe this is stored somewhere in the ships config files, I don't know.

Cool mod thanks

Nice mod

Thanks.

Sorry for highjacking your thread, v13dweller.

I wish you luck and success with your project, if I can help with something, testing your files maybe,

If you only want to alter the time of day, open the museum.mis with editor and change "CurrentHour" and "CurrentMinute", there is a weather type entry also as in every other mission file.

I understand this much.

I have been using Mission editor for quite a while.

I have been looking through large amounts of files today, and I was unable to find anything to do with the sharp turns.

I am determined to find the source to the sharp turns, but no results yet.

I have been using Mission editor for quite a while.

I meant you need missions editor for setting waypoints only. The time of day and weather, wind speed etc. you can edit with notepad. You can try different settings without opening the files in ME2. Exit the museum to main menu, alt tab the game, edit the values, switch back to game, load museum, should work

I am determined to find the source to the sharp turns, but no results yet.

Maybe in AI scripts somewhere..
