[metalangel]

OMFG MAEK ME A HSS FERRIE NOW!!!! ADN A CALSS 66 LCOMOTIVE I NEED THESE OR I WILL DIE

[LocArny]

Don't make a joke of it. Its sad enough

[Illegal_Alien]

Thank you for screwing up the topic...

[metalangel]

A serious question, then...

How are the wake graphics done? Are they part of the ship graphics (like steam from a locomotive) or are they generated by the game.

Would be cool to have a big, churned tidal wave behind some of the faster ships...

[Illegal_Alien]

These 2 lines:

Code: Select all

<useobject desc="wakeeffect" class="3">WWAKE1  </useobject>
<useobject desc="startsnd" class="1">SNDA2   </useobject>

The class part is the way how its been drawn, there are a lot of other lines too.

But i didn`t implanted it succesfully yet.

[metalangel]

Hmmm... that would lead me to believe that the wakes and similar are all hardcoded into the game. Am I right?

[Illegal_Alien]

Nope WWAKE1 is a .dat file

Code: Select all

With the corresponding .png this .dat file is the wake effect

If its a bit cooler here i can look at it a bit longer, its just to hot here to do it now. Especialy with my PC hanging deu the heat.

[Breeze646]

Yay!!!

Well anyway I was the 23rd downloader of the beta.

[Chrill]

I´m not very interested in getting myself a beta of this yet.. Wanna see it runs good first But it´s great work IA

[Illegal_Alien]

Dont you people have any suggestions about the power/speed and costs?

[andel]

make it expensive to buy/cheap to run

speed - ummm - 30/40 mph

[Breeze646]

Dont you people have any suggestions about the power/speed and costs?

For speed make it go 1000 kph!!!
JUST KIDDING!!!

Anyway yeah for speed make it how ever fast you think it goes.

[metalangel]

Well, Ulysses goes 22 knots and produces 22,500kw to do so, so something along those lines for speed? Given she's such a large ship, we should be going for full loads rather than high speed.
