colonel_klink 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Just an update on the progress of the next release of this pack. Since the last release I have added a number of new things to this pack. * Central to the core of this is STOTAT which gives 10 random sinking effects to the fishing boats. * Working Lifejacket/lifering/liferaft * 5 different sea rescue modes * player can walk around fishing boat decks * option to turn off animations and seagulls (as requested) * police launch with working pursuit and rescue modes and with custom wreckage/sinking modes * reduction in number of seagulls in the seagull contol and around fishing boats (as requested) At the moment I'm ironing out a few of the scripting bugs, so there is no definite date for re-release.

redface 1 Posted June 10, 2004 walking around on the deck will be great! thx for your continued efforts! on a related note: - the current fishing boats under "empty" have the engine switched on by default, apparently without the possibility to switch it off - when I fire a CoC torpedo towards the boat, the impact seems to take place ca. 3 meters removed from the boat, the boat itself remains undestroyed. must be an issue with some LOD? could you have a look at that as well? thx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did this happen with all the fishing boats, or just certain ones? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redface 1 Posted June 10, 2004 1. didn't know about that, sorry. It could be so peaceful on the water ... 2. I only tried with the dilligaf. Didn't I send you the movie (still heavily beta)? anyway, these boats make for a lot of atmosphere in naval ofp, the idea of attacking them was just a form of staging "collateral damage" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It had a number of extra memory points that I was experimenting with. Will check with the CoC torpedos when I get the chance. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-ZG-BUZZARD 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Oh and Col. Klink... I remember once an addon you made, the Tiger gunboat... I still have it in OFP because it is the only boat so far that has a turning steering wheel... I wonder why don't all the boats have that... anyway, I was a bit disappointed when I was aboard the fishing boats with that beautiful wooden wheel and it didn't spin around when I turned the ship... could you implement that, please??

Thoust wish, Master, has already been fulfilled in the next release. I had forgotten about that until I was using the tiger myself and realised I hadn't done it on the fishing boats.. Come to think of it.. I have to check the launch as well. On another note, over in the breathe section thanks to Scud ,Hardrock and others have helped me solve one of my rescue problems: The Police launch liferafts can now carry up to 8 survivors that can all be rescued by the launch or any other boat or chopper that has cargo spaces.

Privateer570 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Col Klink, I know I speak for a number of people eagerly awaiting your latest police launch addon... is there any more news, release date etc??? It looks great and I just can't wait!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colonel_klink 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Still some scripting issues with the addon. I know its taken a while, but I'm learning this as I go along. Sorry no release date.. I found that making announcements like that leads to disappointment, or having to rush the addon out too soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Privateer570 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Col Klink, What would the chances be of you releasing a basic version of the police launch without any scripting (i.e. just a basic beta boat addon) almost as a teaser for those of us who just can't wait to get their sticky little mitts on the boat, ...and then building up to a release of the full boat with scripting etc as and when its ready for proper release! If not, then any chances you could send me a beta version!!??! please!?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tankieboy 0 Posted June 23, 2004 How about a ridged raider or small assault craft? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ag_smith 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Ahhh... I know that this is not a wishing thread, so Klinkster sorry about this , but: If there's any willing addonmaker passing by, could you consider making Mark V SOC, more info here. This would go well along with SJB Seals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Privateer570 0 Posted June 23, 2004 How about a ridged raider or small assault craft? There's one of these in the Finnish Defence Force Mod - it works quite well, as you can do an immediate full stop to get your troops out quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd have to strip the addon out of the pack and all the other stuff that it works with. Never fear though. Only the damaged and exploded models to do and the whole kit and kaboodle will be released on.. lol you cant catch me out on that one. It will be released when it is ready and a basic mission is made... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
