AI Torpedoes

Great work as usual, RB, and hopes for even better in the future.

You don't get the point Stevie. People can even figure out how to make u-boat fly if they want. But will the game be better because of flying u-boat ? Perhaps if you are the one who accepts everything and more important you are nonsence tolerant, so there will be no crap mods for you at all, I bet.
so no matter how dumb it is, you will never get dissapointed

Contact you made your point now let it go. You don't like it that's fine. There might be some others that do or others who like it simply for the fact that they want to learn from it. Maybe, just maybe, someone learns something from it to make something better.

No worries, it was my finishing touch in reasoning

Yes, perhaps the mod is not realistic but it is a start to something that could possibly be a big improvement. Looks to me it is in a development stage really. Talking it up and offering ideas can make this mod all that much better. Calling it crap does no one any good. As tater stated, AI torps come from planes on SH4. Perhaps that can help getting this to work for SH3 and...........getting this into SH4 for the ships that do not fire AI torps.

Reading Interesting Shadows Thread, skwasjer writed about directional lights of searchlights. Can AItorpedoes be attached to this lights controllers like Laser Guided Bombs? Searchights always looking for enemy ships and point in their direction, would it work?

Who knows if all the hardcore moders would focus on SH4 today, maybe there would be less patches and various fixes after it's primary release..

Well I say that with the release of GWX 4 interest in SH3 will so badly hit the ground and looking forward to the perspectives moding for SH3 should fall dramatically. I think it's time to focus on moding possibilities of SH4 already and to be precisted I mean helping GWX team with your moding knowledge.
I think if it was possible somehow to add AI torps properly into SH3, GWX team would already done so. Weren't they ?

Not sure. Perhaps what one can not do another can make possible. Please keep RB's thread on RB's topic.

I beg to differ on your first statement concerning the release. SH3 looks to like modding will go on forever. People just love the game. That is a whole other thread of discussion. Carry on.

Maybe
Maybe not
Some things always get put to the back burner - much the same as they did for the original devs
Things get started only to be put aside through lack of time

Just because its not in GWX doesnt mean it cant be done
Plenty of talented ppl in these forums

throughout the making of this I was able to make 'laser guided' torps in effect but not using searchlights. So yes, in effect, 'laser guided' can be modeled to some degree. They did not have laser guided anything back then so I disregarded that design.
The object 'shot' was attached to the shooter and it's course followed the path of the shooter. The 'shot' object still had forward velocity but it meandered all over the place because it's path was altered by the shooter's rotation (yaw, pitch, and roll - also influenced by parent object's rotation) and by the shooter's position (which changed based on parent object). If the shooter was locked onto the target all the way until the shot hit the target then all was well. If it started searching after it fired it's shot then all went wacky.
Now using a searchlight could squelch most of those problems.

Anyway I would like to see more talented people working for GWX4 all together, rather than independantly. Well maybe I'm missing something on the policy of devs team here. But I think that if there are more people working on certain objectives then we all would have to wait less for it's release, and have less patches or bugfixes in the future after it's primary release this time.

What was that famous poster in the GWX website ? Teamwork wins ?

That's a can of worms you don't want to open! You'll never catch me associated with them. Now drop this subject all together. If you want to open this can of worms then start another thread on it. If you'd like to discuss the matter with me then do so via PM.

RGT!

Tried to use your explosion as the default one, but I can't find the ID references via id-search, so don't know where to change.
Can anyone send me the edited torpedo.sim?
