You say '...I often use the MCCD mod... especially from the bridge...'
Sounds like you're referring to a special command just for certain situations when you want to use the MCCD, hmm

Don't you mean clicking the crew member to bring up the dialog to choose from a list of available commands?
Just got curious. Maybe I misunderstand you?

I use the MCCD_1.04

Do you know of another one you would suggest?

This is a long post >>>>

First the good news Crew can run now

Then the bad news --- Crew can't climb ladders or duck through hatches

Then the worserererer news -- hunt and hunted states really are FUBAR'd

It's no big deal --all you'll see is that when you reload a game the crew will probably be on deck until you engage or are engaged. Then they'll always be below deck doing their thang until you reload (or unless something miraculous happens to disengage HUNTER/HUNTED)

So if you're happy with the crew teleporting between bulkheads and up/down ladders we're good

Now to the meat of the post:

The shift system

If...IF ...and I mean if, I have the time to rewrite the whole crew interation thang INCLUDING interactive crew ala MCCD ... and IF it's worthwhile for you guys doing that.... then, would the following be a reasonably good crew routine:

NB: Will reset every time the game is loaded

If anyone takes the time to read and digest, I'll be very appreciative

Looks just fine to me.
After reading this through I can't find anything to remark on.

Looking forward to trying this out.
Any idea when you're going to release?

THANKS FOR YOUR BRILLIANT WORK

[Rickster1]

Sounds VERY good to me, please go ahead.Thankyou

[Will-Rommel]

If you have the knowledges and time required to attack such a heavy task, feel free to "extreme speed ahead" !

[Stormfly]

very good idea !

...if we also have watch dependent scripts, this would also allow to have different crew chat sounds for each watch.

[Paris_England]

Thanks for looking through it, guys

@Stormfly -- there will be plenty of opportunity to add more crew sounds

@Everyone:

Yes, this will take a bit of time.

As far as the crew is concerned, you'll have to get used to who's who on the boat as they won't necessarily be in the same positions anymore. Chief could be anywhere, so if you want to talk to him, you'll have to find him.

Also, I think I'll be using hats to show who's currently manning a specific station.

For example the radio room:

01-RADIO---------Oberfunkmeister--------------Funkmaat-------------------Funkgast
02-HYDRO--------Funkgast---------------------Oberfunkmeister-------------Funkmaat
Maintenence------Sailor11----------------------Sailor16---------------------Sailor17

There's a chance on the third shift that the Oberfunkmeister may hang out with the rest of the radio crew from time to time just to keep an eye on things. He's the boss, but essentially he's off duty. He will not wear a hat. Instead Funkgast and Funkmaat will wear their hats, to indicate they're on duty.

Sounds trivial, but there needs to be a system so you know who's currently on duty and who's not.

The only unknown at this time is my timing method. There are some animations for the crew that take a specific amount of time -- I'll be using a set of invisible crew who perform these animations as counters. You'll never see these npc's but essentially they'll act like a clock (I can't figure out how to pass the actual gametime to the crew). The unknown is how these animations will play out during TC. It's not going to be an incredibly accurate timer, but it should get close enough to approximate a 4-hour shift.

There will be no HUNTER/HUNTED animations nor BATTLESTATIONS. As far as I can see these states are either unreliable or not working.

There will be running to the fore for crash dive.

I've not looked into crew damage yet (ie the injured crew icons) __ we'll see how that plays out.

And please be patient. These shifts are real time 4 hours -- that's planning about 300+ hours of crew time

Sounds fantastic Paris E
