ebud 18 Posted September 16, 2002 OK, I've been working on some boats, sampans and such, and have a few questions maybe someone could answer. What affects the buoyancy of a boat in game? How can it be changed? What affects to "rise" of a boat in the water when it reaches top speed? A small draft boat with a relatively high speed will literally fly on top of the water at speed. Since I cannot open a PBR to see how it was coded, maybe someone has some insights on this. Another question that I'm sure cannot be fixed is the water level. In a small boat, the water sits in the boat when still, since the boats rise when speeding up. Is there anyway around this? Ebud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maslow 0 Posted September 16, 2002 hmm i had the same prob with my Boat (i think its A sampan too) i fixed it by moving the landcontact  points up (oder down??? damn cant remember..). But that crazy shaking effect i couldn't remove i need help immediatly?!?! cy €: no its not a sampan i found out check out my page www.maslow.tk for pics.......

ebud 18 Posted September 16, 2002 Ha! My sampan has that effect as well. Is it from the landcontact points? My LSSC doesn't skake, so I'll just try copying and pasting those landcontact points and position from there. I'll probably have to have waterfilled sampans it seems. If there were only a way to edit the tidal flow, which would affect the wav height. Anyone noticed where it's defined? Or is it integrated into the exe? Anyone? BIS?

Antichrist 0 Posted September 17, 2002 I didn't notice any problems with my Mirage Patrol Boat. No shaking or anything like that. That migt be because it's pretty heavy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colonel_klink 0 Posted September 17, 2002 The rise and fall of the water inside a boat is a problem that I had to either accept or not build the zodiacs. Land contact was another issue that another OFPer solved for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maslow 0 Posted September 17, 2002 hmm well my boat hasn't got the "floating" prob but its just shaking like crazy, maybe make it heavier? And anticrist: Maybe your boat isn't floated by water cause the "floor" is pretty thick? Ours are only some units wide... cy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maslow 0 Posted September 17, 2002 *talktohimselF* hmm well now it's working with that "shaking" effect it stand still on the water, no idea what i changed just moved the landcontacts around and Voilá it works!! But now i got that "flyfish" prob!!! At top speed the boat lifts off!!! damn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
