New "Unit": Debris / Flotsam for download

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

for all the mission designers amongst us I´ve uploaded part 1 of my flotsam package. This barrel is the first unit and I´d like to know whether it´s worth to continue creating other pieces of debris/flotsam. So, feel free to comment!





The barrel comes with multiple skins and works fine with NYGM and GWX. It may be installed easily using JSGME. Since it is defined as environmental unit you can´t eye it up in the museum. That´s why the download contains a tiny mission just for testing, without any objectives.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE: 15-Feb-2007

The package (DD_Debris_V1_1.rar) is ready for download. (ca 13.8MB)

it contains:
+wooden barrel (reworked version)
+oildrum
+3 crates (same model, different rotating angles)
+lifebelt
+destroyed rowboat

+test mission

The mod was tested with GWX and NYGM2.2, worked fine with both.

UPDATE: 16-May-2007

Moin,

V1.2 is ready for d/l.
I´ve added a floating mine. Unfortunately I didn´t manage to make it explode when hit, until now. That´s why it is dud. But who wants to risk live just to test?



The test mission has been updated too.

Full version: DD_Debris_V1.2.rar (ca 13.83MB)
Update version : DD_Debris_V1.2_Update.rar (ca 450KB)

Activate via JSGME.

Regards,
DD

I for one think this is cool. It's the small details such as this that adds so much to the game.

Great idea Diving Duck.Please continue with it.

Great idea! I love all of the details as well. But what kind of a toll will this be graphically? Will this mod slow things things down at all?

since the poly count for the model is pretty low (360 faces) and the skin is as small as 384KB the cpu/gpu workload will not increase perceptibly, if you don´t place dozens of barrels in the harbour basin. But if the community calls for it, I will create low(er) poly versions.

Floating birds = Ducks [pun ?] and Swans [usually get 2 of them, Male and Female] around Harbour area's.

PS Is requesting the Loch Ness Monster too extreme ? :rotfl:

[Samwolf]

How about Bernard in a life raft?

[Safe-Keeper]

Keep it up, DivingDuck.

[bookworm_020]

A Pelican would be a good bird, may an albertross??:hmm:

A floating mine would be fun Just as long as I can use my AA guns on it!:p

[Vikinger]

logs and planks are common item that floats around in a harbour. Packs of seaweed as well.

Would be cool to have 2 flags whit a fishnet between them in shore areas.

darn you have much work to do if you gona try and implant all the request

[dertien]

If you can spawn these when ships sink you could make some nice lifeboats

Nice work !

[Tikigod]

What happens when you run into it? Does it reduce hull integrity? Would be cool to make some floating mines.
