Fishing boats

[GoOB 0]

I think I saw Col.Klink himself appearing on the TV screen on one of the boats! Might have been someone else though whoever he is he's now famous!

Great work Klink, really loving the boats. Especially the fog horn and the seagull control station thing, very nice!

It´s fantastic, I love it!

Very good work Klink!

Now we need a captain like this:

And he must can say: "ARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!"

@Col.Klink: as this is still a beta (brilliant as it is), have u considered adding a small red lamp on portside and a green one on starboard? I ask this 'cos by international law all ships\boats must have them (same as in planes), here where i live even the smallest outboard engine fishing boat has them

That would be great! like the flashing blue siren on the MMP Unimog! That would look sweet at night seeing fishing boats with their lights on in the harbour... oooohhh.....aaaahhhh.....

excellent addon. love the gulls. in future versions an armed one would be cool, have a bow mounted HMG or recoiless rifle, Canadian navy vessel.

very impressive work! colonel klink has done it again

Yeah ... or one for "covered operations" ... with a radar, some nice comunication-systems    perhaps a small SAM-Site or Anit-Ship-Mines (looking to the new boats comming up like USS Nimitz, the russian Submarine and so on)

[colonel_klink 0]

I'm working on a navigation system that will allow a course to be plotted for the boat driver/player. Or at least for the player to know where he (she) is in relation to map grid etc. Any input on this is welcome.. due credit given of course.

very good for a beta...

nevertheless, you should re-inspect the edge smoothings/sharpenings on your models, would give better volumes, shades and overall rendering.

just my .02 €

Still, it's very good, give a lot of atmosphere with the seagulls flying around (it looks l ike they are flying a little too much like on a layer, could their altitude be more random ? )

Who's going to make the first mission with some spy fisher boat ? ? ;P

there seems to be some slight LOD problems as the wind swiper sometimes turn white when viewed at a distance

[firefox313 0]

But they aren't playable. Playable seagull would be a good add-on

What do u mean  

You want to "play" the seagulls yourself? Like the one you spawn in if you are dead?

yes

[laulau 0]

very nice addon! the seagulls are great but could it be possible to disable it for empty boat model and when it's destroyed?

I know you mentioned the cargo animations are fairly basic atm.

But when I put myself as the player in cargo in the boats, I get a weird view of the deck in First Person View.

Has anyone else experienced this?

BTW, I love the small animations like the cup of coffee, doors and floats that this boat has.... It's a very very good addon.. for a beta as well. Great work.

Fixed in next release. This was caused by a remnant of the earlier version I had made that used transparent paas for the rigging. I thought I had removed them all but a couple of lods on a model slipped through.

This argument has been raised here before. Some concrete evidence is easier to work with than a generalisation

Possibly. I only implemented the script I did not write it. The seagulls flying was for effect, not a simulation of actual seagull behaviour. If it can be done I will implement it in the next release.

Doh! Another remnant of the earlier version. Had a gunner placement and the first cargo put on the boat jumps to gunner position (not actual as I had a custom anim for the gunner). Fixed in next release.

Great work!

Besides the sound bug when using the whipers (already menioned earlier) I think they are just great. I like very much how those orange ballons on the back of the cabin swing when the boat is moving, sweet little detail - just like the interior of the cabins, etc.

One can clearly see that you have too much spare time (and thanks for that! ).

There's two things you could add: first give each of the boats a different unit picture in the commanders team list (they all have the same name listed there). And, it would be great to have boats and seagulls listed in one cathegory in the editor. 'CWK Sea' seems great for the 'gulls, too - although I understand that they were meant for your island originally. With many addons now using their own cathegory in the editor the selection starts getting a bit cluttered already.

I like the way the cabins have a personal feel to them (that copy of the Perfect Storm made me giggle like a little school girl). If this is just a beta, I cant wait to see the final version.

BTW... is there a way to turn off the gulls? I read the readme kinda late and cant find the bugger now

Klink m8 how is your submarine addon doing the one you showed a few months back

Yeah!  And the swinging "Cabin-Doors" Just sweet!

Yes, that would be nice ... I have about 25 different categorys in my editor ... little bit confusing  

@Colonel_Klink:

Would it be possible to make the "Mast-Lights" inflameable in the next version? They are too nice for not being used by night. (I think some more lights would be cool anyway. There is only the "big" frontlight. Like "Bonko the Sane " wrote, some lights at the portside and stearboard for example.)

Firstly:

Thanks for the feedback guys. Positive comments are encouraging and I am pleased that the little boats are appreciated.

Lights:

Yep will implement them in the next release. I had intended to with this release, but for some reason this slipped by me.

Seagulls:

An on/off feature could be implemented in the next release. The only problem have with that is that at the moment I am unsure of how to do that through script (but I can learn).

Editor Categories:

Yep. I have to agree with you on that one. The Gulls and boats will be under CWK - Sea in the next release.

Maybe this can be Klink's next sea-faring addon:

The U.S. Coast Guard is seen intercepting a group of Cuban

migrants sailing towards the Florida Straits on a modified 1959

Buick Tuesday February 3, 2004. The pilots were the same

two men who tried to sail a converted 1951 Chevy flatbed

truck to the U.S. last year. Nine other migrants, including

wives and children.

Klink: Is that your reflection in the TV Screen?

[joltan 0]

Lol, Avon! Looks more like something for Joe Lemmonade...

He's the guy for the really weird stuff!!!

Really? I love his MARV Buggys

Woking on some *hopefully* realistic sinking boat animations: Here's a pic of what i've done so far:

Just adding burning/smoking and other tweaks.

[bonko the sane 2]

wow!

p.s:I wonder if this will be possible to implement on other boat addons?

Exellent work Col. Klink
