Hmmmmm, i was wondering, as Frank said earlier, is it worth me developing other things that ships have, like the sound of the bell on the Igor k?
Jack.
Hiya Jack, a bit late with the reply, but I missed that post of yours initially.... Yes it's worth it indeed, and actually, if you read Frank's comment again, it would actually
only be worth doing the sound systems things a ship might have, if you aim for these things to be released as an official patch, like the horn pack Terry and I did. Because the normal horns are allready present.
Of course you can always make a normal horn pack too, to replace the current ones, but then you'd have to just release it on the forum, as Frank mentioned they did not really want to replace the ones we have now.
Untill now, I've not seen anything to do with foghorns or secondary sound systems as such, but merely seen and heard about the 'normal' horns.
Which is of course cool aswell, the more stuff users have to play around with, the better, but if you guys want to make a patch that VSTEP will release officially, you'll have to focus on secondary systems rather than normal horns.
Here's a bit of what Frank said to recap;
....Like Luc rightly mentioned, most ships have only one horn and so it is not necessary to develop a new horn.
We don't want to replace the current horns and the new user created horn sounds pack by TerryRussell, as they are really very nice.
It would be very nice and an excellent addition however to develop the fog systems aboard these ships (bells, whistles, etc.) when they have one besides a standard horn, and that would add to the realism very nicely. And yes, in that case we would add an 'F' key to be used for that.
Once again, we've already got horns, but if a ship has a secondary fog alarm like a bell, whistle, or even a second dedicated fog horn besides the standard horn, it would make a nice addition to the game. It is however imperative, that before developing you make sure the fog systems you develop for a ship are in fact the real systems used. As long as it is the case, we'll be more than happy to make this fog patch available for the community and add even more realism to the Shipsim.
So yeah, the secondary systems would be very nice to have indeed. It would make a great addition!!
