Is something wrong with 2.3?

KLARCH · 12-22-06, 02:58 PM

Not from what I've seen.

NYGM rocks.

The way the world goes... something is just out, they all want something else already

Please don't use the words 'NYGM' and 'poop' in the same sentence. Thank you for your cooperation. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I wonder where herr DTB is hiding. :hmm:

Don't see anyway why a version 3 would be needed, present version is doing the job for me...

One thing I have been wondering is, Teddy Bear was working on "keel depth" mod, which makes various keel depth in relation to cargo load visually, and it just looked too awesome; then draft data in the rec manual is only reference and real draft would differ by the ship's load.

He presented this while first NYGM ship damage mod was in a close test, when there was yet any of NYGM anything released, I guess it was about late November 2005. It was mentioned in SimHQ's then SH3 forum where he was the moderator of the forum at that time...

I have not exclusively followed every discussion of NYGM thing but I have not seen this keel depth thing since then... Anyone knows if it was abandoned for a technical difficulty and all, perhaps?

Concerning keel depths of ships:

We had two ideas.
1. To create separate mods for every merchant ship with five different degrees of loading. This idea was hastily abandoned when we realised how many bytes every user would have to download: five versions of every merchant ship! (Check out the size of the existing single files).
2. To adopt a German idea in the campaign files, to lower the ship depths a little when laden, and to raise them when returning empty. There was a big snag with this. You had to lower the depths simultaneously of *all* the units in a group. So if you created heavy-laden convoy merchant ships, you also lowered the escorts. Then they sank.
We could have adopted this idea for single merchants, but it seemed to be inconsistent to do it for some merchants sailing alone, but not for merchants in convoy. Also, there was no programmatic way we could work out which single ships should be travelling laden and which unladen. To do this manually for all single ships, when we couldn't apply it to the convoys, seemed to be an enormous and pointless labour. So we didn't do it.

Stiebler.
