[REL] SH 5 Lifeboats

SH5 Lifeboats 2.11

This mod adds Sh 5 lifeboats to destroyed ships. They spawn using the same system as in SH 4. Most ships spawn 0-1 boats, larger 1-3, but some rare ships may spawn even 15 lifeboats.

This mod will create lifeboat entrys to the roster for all nations and adds two new ships to the data/Sea folder. SH 5 Spec ops boat simulates both small and large lifeboats. TDW's additional animations are stored in scripts folder.

Note:

Mod contains lifeboat sounds. There are two wav-files included, one is made by Rubini (only used 30 sec to get smaller file), and other by me.
This mod uses OHII 1.4 sh.sdl-sound file for maximum compatability.

Installation:

Install with JSGME.
To get the new roster changes to appear, you must probably restart your campaign, or advance to the next campaign chapter.

Changelog:

-fixed the faulty entry in roster "New Zealand" to "NewZealand".

2.1

Credits & Thanks:

Rongel - base mod
TDW - additional animations, lifeboat stabilization
Stoainm - adjusting the lifeboat floating effect
Rubini - creator of LifeBoatM1.wav (permission asked and granted, thanks again!)

Download version 2.11

Happy sailing to all!

Here is the lifeboats using stock 1.2. :

As you can see they do bounce, but it might be adjustable by editing the sim-file.

Hi! Because I have to go soon away, I think I'll post the WIP public, so people can test it and comment it. I tried to adjust the sim-file to match Webster's SH 4 life boat fix, but it didn't looked too good, so go ahead and if you have better results please let me know!

And this might not be for every one, the bouncing may be too much for some, but I really like the lifeboats already! It's a small detail, but it's nice see when you sink a passanger liner, that there are some survivors too! High quality survivors!

Let's just hope that this doesn't crash your game....

Is not much you can do, they are too small for the waves. A solution would be to scale them, but I dont think you can do this with the tools we have for editing.

Zedi · 05-07-11, 06:22 AM

Like I said, I think they skiped these because they bounce too much on high waves. Anyway, nice finding.. fresh meat for gun practice

Play with the CG, mass, and displacement. Increasing mass and displacement will require more wave 'force' to make the raft move (pitch and roll). Surfaced displacement has to be greater than mass or it will sink.

Are these values solid or can be randomly changed to show different cargo & draught for this same ship class?

Reworked again the pitch&roll after TDW sugestions... i improuved a bit.. but i am still limited because the boats are to small... and we modified a lot the waves parameters... but i will say now it is acceptable... i can not do better than that:

Gap, there is a Wooden Lifeboat mod that's for SHIII. Make sure it's not the one your're trying to use in SH5 as it won't work. It could even screw up other SH5 mods that are installed, as it did for me.
