Is it all about post count or what ? It sometimes really gets rather difficult to separate the core of the threat in question from blablabla..., even if the intention of the whole welcome committee is a good one, and I know it is a good intention... but sometimes...


Kamicazes!, please go to the mediafire page of my dear friend Magic:

Scroll down all the way to "TDW" in the SH3 MODS section, and there it is...

ATTENTION ALL GREETING COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Pursuant to Danasan -Elite Spam Hunter's well considered and meritorious observation, All greeters will be required to render assistance along with the greeting. After a 24 hour period, the greeting post shall be deleted so as not to give the appearance of attempting to inflate the post count...as I have just done to set a sterling example!

[Kamicazes]

Got it, thank you! For both the welcome and the help! Magic's collection is a treasure!

Always nice to be "full quoted" Thanks for that. No offense taken .

PARDON! It is I who am the offended party! The more so as I have received an infraction for deleting over 600-1000 of my posts in the past-so post count is hardly an issue... http://www.collegehumor.com/post/7011522/everything-is-offensive-to-everybody

Well, I MYSELF REPORTED MY POST HERE to the admin as biased.

Why?

It is not about YOU, personally, there is nothing wrong with you at all, or me, but I think there could be a better way to keep the focus on the subject of the thread in question. It is a real pain to go through all the posts to find out you have the answer to what? Wait a minute... Errrr... What was the question?

[Aktungbby]

A Hamm's to U with that Sir!

[Jimbuna]

I'll throw open a suggestion or two here if I may....

I take the point that greeting a newcomer to the forum who's first post is a plea for help can confuse the original context or reason of said thread. However, it was Neals idea to create the welcome committee, a good idea IMHO, a simple means of engendering and continuing the friendly spirit that abounds throughout our community.

One point regarding the above that does strike me as being a little strange is the oft seen 'welcome after a long silent run' to a member who has been a member longer than the welcomer.

I have been guilty of the above on occasion myself, hence my suggestions being just that.

Automatically deleting posts after a given time period will serve no other purpose than to create more work for the moderation team as they are required to read what has been deleted, plus the fact the deletions make the boards look untidy and create more housekeeping duties than are reasonably necessary.

In conclusion....my suggestion is that greetings to pleas for help should only be posted if accompanied by assistance to the original question. Multiple and systematic deletions of posts have always and continue to be a no-no.

Unzip straight to MODS folder and enable via JSGME.

NOTE: I added entries to the \data\Zones.cfg file so it probably won't be compatible with most large mod compilations. You'll need to add the appropriate entries in the compilation mods's zones.cfg file if it has one.

SH3's Flak gun training mission is a great mission to see this in action.

The stock SH3 Zones.cfg file was used as base for this mod. To update other mod's Zones.cfg file you need to add the following entries to them (highlighted in yellow):

[F_PlaneEngine]
Category=Engines Room
Multiplier=10.0
Flotability=0
HitPoints=5
Destructible=No
Armor Level=11
Critic Flotation=0.300000
Critical=No
Effect1=#plane_damaged, 20
Effect2=#plane_on_fire, 60
Effect3=Pilot_ejection, 100
FloodingTime=59.999996
CargoType=None

[LB_PlaneEngine]
Category=Engines Room
Multiplier=10.0

Critic Flotation=0.300000

Effect2=#plane_on_fire, 60
Effect3=Pilot_ejection, 100
FloodingTime=59.999996
CargoType=None
Crash Depth=0.01

[HB_PlaneEngine]
Category=Engines Room
Multiplier=10.0
Flotability=0
HitPoints=15
Destructible=No
Armor Level=11
Critic Flotation=0.3

Effect2=#plane_on_fire, 60

Here you can see pilot ejected:



And here he is floating down to the water:


And here he is after impacting the water:


Contributors:
- Testpilot: new parachute and pilot for parachute

v1.0: initial release
v2.0: added new parachute and pilot for parachute by Testpilot.
adjusted fall speed of parachute to allow more 'hang-time'
adjusted how much pilot and parachute has to submerge before showing dead, floating pilot

Current version available here: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20179...ts_v2_0_SH3_7z

Tried it, didn't work for me
