[REL]Lifeboats for SH3!(Update V4.0, Dec. 27, 2008)

[G.K.]

Hmmm... the wooden boat looks nice, could it be later added to LB-D mod sometime later?

By the way, should the people in lifeboats be concerned about the manned deck gun?

I have given it to Privateer already and he will add it to a later version of the mod.



I also gave him all of the little boats that you see on the bigger ships, like cutters, invasion barges, sloops, pinnaces, and heavy launches. It would be great if you saw different types of lifesaving craft appear after a sinking, depending on what the "mother ship" was. Also, rubber rafts for shot-down pilots would be another good idea.

I like the animated version of the mod but the figures in the old mod are easier to skin. Plus, I like the figure textures created by the modder who helped us (his name escapes me ATM).

And no - I did not fire any shots at the survivors. They were a worthy foe defeated in open combat. And I am no Mush Morton (most of the time, anyways. )

Wow, looks good, when will it be released?

I think it's time for some teaser video of the new version from Privateer. Hmmm?

I'm not sure - you will have to ask Privateer. Maybe it will be released in December with the GWX update.

I hope it will be earlier, but can wait a bit longer.

I'm not the greatest at creating the animations.
But I have a rough draft of Pilots free falling,
then chute opens and drifts down.
Once he hits the water?
He's there.


The biggest problem was controlling the fall rate.

By creating a zone entry for the Aircraft,
then creating a Keyframe animation?
(With a few other non-standard ways of doing things)
It's not a bad copy of what SH4 has.

The models just look better!



And the Life Boat stuff will always remain as a seperate mod.
GWX 3.0 will NOT include it.

But the released versions will work for 3.0

And after almost four years the game just keeps getting better!

Privateer, did you get my PM?

Got it Mate.
Still shakey my end.

[Faamecanic]

So will this mod be OK to use with GWX 3.0? I know privateer said in Nov it would be...but just want to be sure.

Looks freakin SWEET!

[mr chris]

Im using it with out any problems

[Faamecanic]

thanks mr chris.....downloading now to add when Im in port next time!

[ssconvert]

Same seems to be working fine with GWX 3.0
Using the no bodies version...........

[Lanzfeld]

I really wonder why this mod was not included with GWX 3.0 Gold.

Maybe because it is a work in progress??? Such a great addition!
