Rebound? Can I get a confirmation on this?

I think, after some tinkering, I've figured it out, but I just want to check. If I'm wrong, I'll close the thread.

There will be no thread closing with questions like this. These questions get people thinking and talking. Issues are resolved and new doors opened.

Carry on!

I've, honestly, never experimented with it, at all. I think the default is 45, but thats all i could tell you. There is an indicator though, this variable is in the ZON file no? If its in the zon file means it has *something* to do with the exterior shell of the boat. In laymans terms, the zon file is reallyl about the manipulation of hitpoints.

Hitpoints = self explanitory
Crash depth defines when you start loosing HP's to pressure
Crash speed defines how fast or slow you loose those HPs (at least in SH3, not so much in Sh4, but it does slow down how fast the insta crush occurs)

So in keeping with the theme of the file, im *guessing* its another variable that somehow manipulates hitpoints in some way, shape, or form.

Is there any way to get a file to load....faster?

My rig is a little old and outdated, so it takes a large amount of time to load up just to test one parameter before closing to change the parameter before loading up the game again to test the same parameter.

Yeah....I don't know if I can follow what I just wrote....

LOL. I know the problem well. My old rig took forever.

Oddly, I've found that if the game CTDs, the next time it loads up FAST.

Does s3d open the act files?

No, .act files are just .dll-files, that contain the game logic of handling controllers and such. The developers left traces of descriptions of properties, which can be read with a hex editor. You only have to find the right .act file.
The new S3D will contain every description they have left in those files in a custom format (editable), and will show this description when you select a property. You will see soon
