[REL] Survivors (BETA)

thefretmaster · 08-25-07, 06:13 PM

Just finished the first stage of the survivors mod.
basicly changes the boxes that float around when a ship sinks into the men from the ships.
still needs some tweaking if any is possible
no screens yet but to get an idea check out the old thread.

Just downloaded and installed. In the med, bang.... black swan and a cunard passenger liner. First one I've ever seen... got within a thousand yards and hit her with four torps. She slowed and just sank straight down. Got plenty of survivors most looked fine. A few seemed to float a little too high, one guy was even face down in the water and one guy bobbed like a cork. Eventually they all sank like the boxes do. I thought it added something needed.

Here are a couple of screens

In this second shot, slightly to the left of the right most box is the guy floating face down

Saw the screenshots - nice work. Looking forward to it!

Is there a way to attach a sound file to them?

perhaps pleas for help, or something like that?

looks great

papa_smurf · 08-26-07, 05:52 AM

Looking good

Any chance of them having life jackets on them?

thefretmaster · 08-26-07, 10:31 AM

hey guys. yes they do sit too high in the water at the moment but im looking into it.
the face down one is meant to be a dead man in the water but i may need to change this slightly to get the desired effect.
i will also spin some of the around as they all tend to face the same way.
about them sinking, i do not know how possible it would be to make them stick around longer but im gunna have a go with minitweaker and see what happens.
they do have life jackets already as the original model had them.
finally i will try to add some variance to uniforms and make some of them wear helmets and that so keep watching"!

Other than the guys alittle too high I didn't think anything was wrong with it. :p

I installed it with JSGME and it worked like a charm. Great job, and the expression you added to the figure's face was an...interesting touch. I noticed that there always seem to be more survivors if the sinking ship has a major fire on board and a ruptured fuel bunker. As you mentioned, making them stick around for longer and having different uniforms would be excellent.

This is awesome addiction!

Good work Fretmaster!
Survivors are swimm a bit too high. Maybe you can take model for
survivors from exploded ships-you know-when crew is floating into
open air after explosion?

Good luck with this mod.

Also, can you release a tweak file with the debris (if there is one) so that we can adjust its properties ourselves, using minitweaker? As long as you have time, of course.

ReallyDedPoet · 08-28-07, 08:14 AM

Nice work on this one

RDP

gouldjg · 08-28-07, 08:25 AM

Fantastic Work.

Really looking forward to the next releases.

thefretmaster · 08-28-07, 08:42 AM

thanks for all your kind words.
my aim is to first increase the quality of the skin, then add different uniforms and hats to different people.
i will also attempt to lower them more into the water, i have an easyer wayto do this than hex.
about attatching sound, i know it can be done, but i will need some help on this. if diving duck or someone is around then help would be much appreciated. i might pm someone later and ask if mebey they could do it for me

also a tweak file would be good but there isnt one already and i dont know how how to create one
thanks again

slow_n_ez · 08-28-07, 08:42 AM

Nice mod ! Thanks thefretmaster

.... Great to see them in the water instead of the standard boxes ...... I found myself , however, hovering over where they was after they " sunk " looking for a shark fin but none appeared

After one sinking I got the guys holding boxes , a couple face down , and one guy facing in the opposite direction ... but .. he was standing on his head on the water .... just thought I would pass that along to you ... if I see it again I will grab a screen shot of it ........... thanks for a great mod .. appreiciate it
