Tugs Steaming to you soon!

[PSULLYKEYS]

A trio of unarmed tugs to use as eye candy and targets, available soon at my shipyard.:salute:

[Ghostrider]

Very nice work!

[Dirtman]

:salute: Loooo-king GREAT!!! :salute:

Thanks Sully!!

[mariereid]

Man, I have always loved tugboats! Jeez, I gotta have a look in the dockyard to see if they got any old timers kicking around. Thanks, Sully, really great looking tugs!:salute::ernae:

[alpha_1]

Up to yer usual high standard, Sully.......very nice, thanks!:jump:

[Bill Kestell]

Nice ... DUDE ... NICE!:salute:

[MaskRider]

Nice, Sulley! Thanks!

Hey! Is that a barge load 'o bombs for us to shoot at?!

[PSULLYKEYS]

Thanks guys, not out yet, being reviewed by TR. I'm still kicking around ideas concerning barges, got a nice picky of an ammo barge, was thinking of using the nuke effect to get even wit you trigger happy flyboys.:173go1:

USN and RN fleet tugs are on the horizion.

Found a plan! for the floating crane, already got 8 barges done, aiming for 10. thinking of posting them all together in pairs, to ease placement and cut down on the number of objects in mission builder.

[Skipsan]

BZ Sully can't wait :wiggle::wiggle: We do need the barges in the harbors and pairs is a great way to go. Thanks for all your hard work :salute:

Skipsan :kilroy:

[Ravenna]

Wow Sully....absolutely first class! The tug towing a barge reminds me of those wartime newsreel shots of the Thames near Westminster bridge. What a lovely surprise.
:ernae:

[Rami]

Cool beans. Thanks, Sully! :salute:

[Dirtman]

was thinking of using the nuke effect to get even wit you trigger happy flyboys.

Yo Sully;

A word of caution regarding the "nuke effect".

In CFS2 there are only three types "bomb effects" - small, medium & large

As it is now, the nuke effect is a modified version of "large explosion" (and therefore replaces the original).

The bitch here is that every time a 1000 lb. - 2000 lb. bomb is used; it triggers the nuke effect.

I've been trying to figure a way around this and make the nuke separate ... no luck so far.

........ 13172

[PSULLYKEYS]

yo Dirt, just name it something else, following the format: fx_smokestack_b

:jump:

[Ghostrider]

Yes, as Dirty said, there are only 3 types of bombs. To use a nuke you have to 'take over' one of either the small, medium, or large explosions, and switch back when you're done with that mission. But I've always thought it would be cool to replicate that gun camera footage where some fighter is strafing with his .50s - a smallish ship loaded with ammo, and then all of a sudden BOOM! Small mushroom cloud, and no more ship. Can this be configured through the ship's DP? Hmmmm.

[sc7500]

...That you're onto something here, GR.... :jump:

How 'bout a "What If" Barge DP where all of the damage counters are VERY low... the explosions and debris are set to HIGH... and the Collision Box for the object is set to 14...?

SC
:kilroy:

[Ghostrider]

Yep - strafing those babies could be hazardous to your health!

[Bill Kestell]

132361323713235Well ... I have a DP that just might be what you're looking for.13234 F4F strafing IJN Barge. PT 1

[Bill Kestell]

132401323913238Now for pt-2. How's that?

[Bill Kestell]

Sorry the shots are out of order ... can't fix it ... just stupid, I guess. You get the idea.

[Ghostrider]

That's what I'm talking about! Did you just make that, Bill? A small mushroom cloud of smoke a possibility?

[PSULLYKEYS]

I kike it!:jump: How'd ya do it?

[Ghostrider]

That's looking good, Bill!

I'm trying to post the insides of the DP ... let's see what happens. FWIW ... I replaced the m/s torpedo explosion with USIO'S ... much nastier!!!

PS ... on a note of truth, guys, I just made a "stew" out of everyone elses work. I couldn't "make" an effect if you held a gun to my head. I wish I could find a REAL EASY TO UNDERSTAND TUTORIAL on how it's done. I got a million ideas ... better burning aircraft ... we've all see the footage ... looooong, boiling gas flame ... THICK, OILY black smoke streaming back. Or how about a REALLY BIG-ASSED FIREBALL EXPLOSION (think Lexington cooking off and brewing up) ... or the RAGING fires that must have been going on while thousands of gallons of av-gas were catching fire and cooking off torpedoes and bombs on Akagi, Kaga, Hiryu, Soryu at Midway!

That's what we REALLY NEED from guys who KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING ... not some "hack" like me that just throws stuff together and sometimes gets lucky.

[Nole]

........ 13172 Talk to TR about this. He and Bismarck did one sometime back. The trick is not in the Effect for the weapon, but the Effect called up in the target's DP. They had a special target object, as I remember. Shot below, but I don't remember where or if the file is posted for download.

[sc7500]

Go Bill, Go! Ka-BOOM! :rocket:

And that's interesting about using the target's DP - that could save us from having to switch effects files back and forth. Maybe even use both the weapon and the target's DPs? One for the Ka, and one for the BOOM!

Seems there's a hickup at my Shipyard Site, so TR came through and put this link together to get the tugs. Thanks TR! Enjoy!

Okay - compliments from the Architect bode well for this DP file... Unfortunately, my Mission Builder is giving me some trouble and won't work at the moment.

Bill and GhostRider - try something for me to increase the "pucker factor", please ?

Using MkMDL, change the collision bubble of the Tug to 16 - this should make it fairly difficult to make a low shooting pass / bomb drop over the boat and barge w/o exploding above it, regardless of the ship / barge damage....

Thanx :salute:

Great work Sully on the tugs etc. great to see the fleet growing esp the workhorses that are always needed when things break down.

Sully's work exceeded all my expectations this time - and the KaBOOMS are almost all Bill Kestell's build.

The effects are pretty much stock or readily available add-ons - detailed in this DP attachment [Attachment 13313 (http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=13313)] for the tug and barge - If you find an effect in the file that you don't have, post the name(s) here and I'll help you find it !

OK, I HAD to make another skin, since my barges in the included skins had 1. - scrap and 2. - coal in them!

So, painted the tug gray (siezed by the navy!) and the barge is covered with tarps.

When I make the navy tug later, I'll have her towing an avgas lighter, that should give you guys some more fun!:salute: But she'll be ARMED!

I think the size is too big to put here? (should be bmp 1024x1024 - 565)

YUP too big, well I was going to have a fuel lighter as one of the barges I'm finishing anyway.

[Ghostrider]

Where do I get the tugboat?

[Ghostrider]

Thanks, Sully!

[Ghostrider]

Nice going, guys! The tug and the effects look really good! We've needed an "ammo ship" for a long time -

1350313502

[Skipsan]

Question? Is there a way to lengthen the tow? As I have come to understand in ports or confined waters a tow is approximately 150 yd's and at sea it's at 300 to 350 yd's. So a 3 barge tow could really take up some space :wiggle:

Skipsan :kilroy:

[PSULLYKEYS]

I can give it a whirl Skip, but was concerned lengthening out the DP boxes for the tug and the barge, as I've made them as one object. I know its way too close for the real world. Nothing like having a loaded barge slamming into your stern!

The other way to do it is have them as seperate objects with their own DPs and set them up following each other in MB. You will be able to do that with my barge release coming soon, I'll have strings of 2; just add the solo tug ahead.

You might try "towing" my wounded Victory ship also. Just don't look too close for the invisible tow line!:d

It'll be more work in MB, and 2 objects placed instead of 1.

[Jagdflieger]

It should be easy to set up in the MB. All of the barges, tugs and damaged ships will have to be armed so that they stay on course without turning north when attacked I think. A single machine gun without tracers firing at a low cyclic rate should suffice. It will be importent to keep the tug out front, so I don't think any fancy manuevers or turns can be used as CFS 2 often turns all objects at once at a waypoint when they are used as a fleet. It is kind of like the Army marching command: Right (or left) flank, march!

Once the DPs reflect a weapon of some sort, then they can be accumulated as a formation in line to follow a linier set of waypoints with each waypoint set to "Do not Evade."

I guess you could also set each ship or barge to follow the tug seperately, but it would take some very careful positioning of way points to ensure all the parts stay in formation.

[Skipsan]

OK thanks for the info all seams very reasonable. Let me mull it over will on my "sea cruse" The set up for "Tug 3" works well in "Harbor" and I'll wait on the up coming release of the new barges :wiggle: All should work it's self out nicely:bump:

Thank you

Could the barges be treated like a Horsa glider, with a "tow rope" hard point ?

That way we could even "drop" the barge and keep going ! lol

Hey there Sully,
Remember me, we spoke on skype a while back. The Tugs are looking amazing, I have seen less detail on CFS2 flyable planes! I almost don't want to bomb them (thats almost.. haha) I must check out your shipyard, Can't wait to test them out,
Warm Regards, :salute:

I agree Jagd. My DPs have a weapon aboard with 5 rounds! I could face it downward, but figure if you're firing, the skipper will try and empty his revolver at you.:jump:

Hi Jack, thanks for the kind words, enjoy.

Skip: check your PMs.

SC: I believe that would only work if the ship doing the towing was a player ship. Although, an AI can release bombs, so making the ship an AI A/C and the barge a weapon might be feasible.

I like the way your gears grind, Sully ! :ernae:

Not trying to make extra work - and I remembered the "player flown boat" aspect a few hours after posting... but heck - we ARE the Outhouse Crew.

ANYTHING is possible !

Thanks again for your hard work :salute:
