Ship class

[colonel_klink 0]

Hi Guys

I'm working on angelina (the yacht), but without a demo boat to use as a base model, I was wondering if anyone knew what vehicle class it was, and if there are any special things I need to know in regards to the geometry, memory, and fire geometry lods (if there are others I'd appreciate some help there too). I've had no problems with the aircraft and land vehicles but the boat class is abit of a boggle.

Thanks

I'm not sure if this is what you need, but here is an excerpt from the vehicles.hpp which contains three ship classes (defaullt ship, small ship, big ship).

About the selection names/importand vertices/necessary LOD's I cannot tell you since I don't know.

Till later, PSC

Thanks PSC. I see some recognisable Czech words in that so at least I know now that a ship can have svetlos (lights) . Shame we can't land on them.. yet. I'm hoping to have the yacht useable, that is be able to walk around the deck, climb ladders to different decks, take the helm, etc. Anyway thanks again.

Update: I've had the ship on water. Also walked around on the upperdeck.. until the ship moved.. any ideas how to move your character on a moving platform.

is it posible to give the deck a road class?

[colonel_klink 0]

I'll try that tomorrow. I tried landing the AH1 on the deck but it bounced off.. I think this is the same problem FliPer is having with the aircraft carrier.

Thanks
