No more SeaGulls

12-10-06, 12:20 AM

By editing the scenes.dat file I now have no more Sea Rats flying around me!!!

I've at least found an on/off switch for the little buggers at this point!
I've noticed that they seem to always number 10.
I haven't found the spot to increase nor decrease this number.
Still looking in scene.dat and SH3Controller.act as both reference bird controller stuff.

Because they are the cockroaches of the skies; they deserve to be eradicated.

I've at least descovered something I didn't know before.

The birds hammer me on FPS to start so I solved that on my own!!!
Do I feel good?

Hey...I use these little guys for meat supplement on long patrols.....the drum sticks suck though.

12-10-06, 12:52 AM

And if more info comes to light perhaps we can shoot them down and crew stuff
could be affected?
:hmm:
Actually, I'm not serious here!!!

It's just learning for me at this point.

What'd be nice is if the 'gulls circled fishing boats, harbours, and other victims frequented by them in reality. A fishing vessel with a pack of seagulls is like a major catastrophe without half a dozen stupid movies made "to its memory".

Thing is, it's not a movie.
There is a bird flock controller reference in the sh3controller.act
and scene.dat
Both files also contain Dummy references
Hummmm
:hmm:

Does this mean you can like double triple or quadruple the number of seagulls?

Jmack · 12-10-06, 12:16 PM

i like the birds ...

GT182 · 12-10-06, 12:25 PM

Seeing seagulls are the only stock animal to SHIII it adds realism, even tho they don't usually hang around a submarine. :hmm: Unless it smells like fish, or the cook is unloading lastnight's tuna surprise.

LOL

I love this little birds, it means that i´m near Harbour when i finish my patrol.

but by the other way you can confuse it with enemy aircrafts

Alarrmmmmm !! what did you see ??.. humm opsss its a seagull.

could be possible replace a seagull with planes and increase its number ??

Jmack · 12-10-06, 12:45 PM
