#Arma Reforger - Boat update
fallow raptor
Is it just me or is the boat bouncing on the waves ? 👀
Oh it bounces and then sinks 😂 i am going to play around with the mass weight and buoyancy settings to prevent the sinking part
pure surge
😆 ..

I'm curious does reforger not allow players to move along the object they're standing on?
fallow raptor
I think you mean the part where the boat was moving but my character was not moving with the boat. In that case no, something that needs to be addressed though

Pretty sick, I have Somalian pirates available on my server too

Imagine FIA in boats patroling the water

Where is the sailor outfit from the painting ? 🤣
It looks good ! I just noticed that the water splash seem a bit to flashy or either to big, just an oppinion

@fallow raptor so do you have a plan of mods you want to work on, or is it after you finish one you think of something out of nowhere

The initial splash maybe a bit too much 😂 I am still playing with the particles, like there's none at the front of the boat yet. I will try and write my own component script to handle the particles but currently I am using the exhaust component to handle the splash particle

I work on what I feel I will learn from. So I done the Beetle to learn cars in this engine, I done the F1 car to test the physics of driving to the extreme and to further learn how to implement animations and a bit of damage. I am doing a boat now which has taught me how to write animation profiles. I will move onto Bikes next but that's going to take a while as I need to complete the model the first. I am also enjoying doing boats more then I thought so I will work with this one for a while perfecting it to the best I can, boats are easier to model so I maybe I will do another variant of boat. I have a plan to put this boat on a trailer at some point too so lots of ideas with boats before a motorbike or a peddle bike

Except that after being destroyed some of the boat goes flying up in the air, the mod is really cool, the music of radio are amazing !
It would be nice to have a push option in the front side of the boat in the futur as most of accosting are made towards the shore i guess
I also noticed the very nice climb up action
Sometimes you stand at the very edge you fall of
Otherwise amazing work
I wish the music of this radio could be in every vehicle
fallow raptor
Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it. Its an early build so having feedback really helps the direction of the mod. I will be adding in a destruction model in next few days. I will also add the push at the front as that makes sense. Sometimes when you are in the sea, the sea is pushing the boat left or right, go on the opposite side to where its drifting to climb up. its not ideal at the moment but again something I will look for.
All my vehicles will have that radio at least 🙂 Apart from the f1 car, that would be kinda dumb

It looks very good how the wreck "hover" at the surface !
fallow raptor
Yeah its looks pretty cool, I like the engine exploding and particles flying off. I have change the texture on it so its just more brown crisped.
fallow raptor
Mod updated, there is now a dependency
atomic dust
The destroyed model is very good looking, as a side note I ve noticed something not really relevant but your music sometimes always come back to the first Elevator music and seems to not move to the others. I know its not really important 🤣
- thanks for push at the front
fallow raptor
I have not noticed that, I get the jingle, the rest is random, I just had the stranger things theme tune
atomic dust
yes the jingle that goes 'tututut tututut tuuttut tut ut" Sometime it doesnt change at all
fallow raptor
still a bit of a pause though when skipping tracks, which is annoying me. I cant figure it out. I just went from Maidens bay to Ise d'erquy. Its so relaxing to boat places. Hopefully servers pick this up
atomic dust
I think some part of the island are so underated bc we had no boats to go peacefully over there
There is some beauty in the wild of reforger
fallow raptor
There is one boat, and a couple of ships
atomic dust
Ah yes the giant one
Have you changed anything otherwise regarding the boat physics? Not that iv something to say, just wondering
fallow raptor
No nothing, today was wreck model, cleaning up the file, reducing the size, doing the radio which took soo much longer then it should have and LODs were added for server optimisation
I am not expirencing the radio issues though, sometimes it takes 30 secs - a min to play the next track but I got a random selection I am sitting in it now listerning
fallow raptor
I got the banger on, will it be the last dance tomorrow
fallow raptor
Found where I went wrong, I know how to fix it. Radio update incoming, I just need to convert a mins into seconds 🤣
fallow raptor
Radio is fully working, I really did not think I would spend 4 hours today on the radio but its done now. Need to change over the beetle to share the same asset
atomic dust
Ooooh nice

I also have seen that now it works really good
Have you seen AI can actually manage to use the boat on their own ?
fallow raptor
Yeah man I agree the radio is pretty class, its a shame I cannot use copyright music as making the boat did remind me of one of my favourte bands. I so wanted to add this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf3LqQluWag
I have put it in the prefab but no I have not seen it, is it even implemented yet by BI?

I was not ready for the second part of the song 🤣

I think not, but it seems that we have seen it happened in the past with UAZ or MH60 Black hawk
By the way your radio asset shoudnt be playing the music in the beetle ?
fallow raptor
it will be but not switched it over just yet. Elan use the beetle so I gave them a heads up that they have to add the dependant mod so I will leave it a few days
