[WIP] Subnets

TheDarkWraith · 01-28-11, 02:50 PM

Following along with the work on Icebergs and mines I have made subnets available for use in the game. They can be included in campaigns and single missions.

As with the icebergs and mines, the subnets cannot be destroyed with bullets or torpedoes. Torpedoes go right through the net also

This has to be because the 3D model is located in a .dat file rather than a .GR2 file.

Your sub will collide with the nets and when it does it makes a collision noise. If you persist to 'get through' the net you will eventually but it will be VERY slow and you will make loud collision noises that can be heard over hydrophone. Think of your net cutters on the bow doing their job and cutting through the net when you're doing this.

Here is a shot of 3 subnets from the Total Germany campaign. This is just to show that they can be added to campaigns. You'll find these 3 just past the mouth of the harbor:

And here is a playable demo to see them in action. The demo includes a single mission and the Total Germany campaign has them added (but in an unrealistic and bad place - just for demo purposes): http://www.filefront.com/17862321/TDW-Subnets.7z/

Now I will work on making coastal defenses

Does it mean that escort hear me when I'll hit at the sub net???
Really they will hear me??

they should. Just as when you collide with anything it makes noise and everyone nearby hears it. Do a test mission and see.

Of course this is a best idea... but at the other thread someone works at mod to put uboat directly on the sea floor.
Do you think that the noise when uboat is moving over the sea floor is possible to do and create it as "possible to hear" by escort ships?

just did a test mission to see if escort could hear you hitting subnet....he couldn't

BUT I know why

The collision sound has no underwater component and it doesn't have a sonar target associated with it. Trying to rectify now

EDIT:

didn't do anything

just looking into coastal defenses and noticed that they are already in SH5! They even have GR2 models

We just need to add Roster entries for countries other than Germany and we can add coastal defenses to harbors.

Well that one was easy. What do you think about searchlights on the shore?
