*************************
Found under:
West> CWK - Sea> 'Nasty' Class PTF Boat

Empty> CWK - Sea> 'Nasty' Class PTF Boat

Crew Found under:
West> Men> Vietnam PT Boat Crew

Installation Notes:
**************
1.Unpack the rar file using Winrar
2.Place the pbo files into your OFP Addons folder


Release Issues:
***************
1. Z- buffering problems - Because the addon uses the 'setpos' scripting command 1st person view point will experience 'z-buffering" problems. This happens because the player boat is drawn first, then the other gun positions are drawn next. This is a known issue and one that I have no control over. Except I have limited driver vision to lessen the effect. There is no problem with this in 3rd person views
2. Slowdown - Users may experience cpu slowdown (lag) when using this addon. The models are high resolution, use scripts and may be cpu intensive if used in conjunction with some other addons. If you experience any screen update problems try eliminating them by using the init commandline configurations above.
3. Beaching - The PTF Boat model comprises 4 separate models that work harmoniously togther. There may be some small conflicts such as when the PTF Boat beaches.
4. Multiple instances of the PTF boat can cause lag problems. I believe this is to do with the scripting, however two PTF Boats seem to work ok on the current development computer.

MULTIPLAYER USEAGE
The PTF Boats have been tested under MP. Please report any bugs etc to the PTF Boat forum. (3 XML/Squad Logo Areas on the PTF Boat)


NOTE:
This PT Boat addon was an experiment in multiple gun positions. The Author makes no claim as it being a first for OFP, but more of an idea that multiple gun positions could be put on a boat craft and work well in the game.
The PTF Boat model comprises 4 separate models that work harmoniously togther. There may be some small conflicts such as when the PTF Boat beaches.

someone mentioned that both files (pt and ptf) have the same files in it. id like to fcorrect this for everyone. and ill post it in that thready too.

first off, we made, well i made 2 threads since there are 2 differnt addons here.

both files require the cwk_pt_weapons.pbo and both require the pb_45.pbo.

cwk_weapons.pbo has the ammo and sounds for the wepons.

the pb_45.pbo has the colt 45 needed for the soldiers

the crew file is NOT taged with cwk beceause the crew was my responsibility. the pbo is not taged, the units, however, are taged with pb as are the weapons taged with pb (ie: pbm16a1"

the visable (file) differnce is one has cwk_ptf.pbo and the other is just cwk_pt.pbo same with the crew, the only visable differnce is that one letter. in game the pt is the WWII era pt boat and the ptf is the vietnam era PT boat.

i hope this ends any confusion.

First off great addon, finally multiple gunners.

But im having some problems with it. First off, enemy infantry dont engage this thing with small arms, and when I fight against them I get killed by my own side when I sink one of these boats. When I end the mission it says I killed some VC when my side are the VC. I guess the AI thinks im shooting at them when I kill a nasty.

Anyone else having this problem?

Besides that great addon.

this has been mentioned before.

they kill you becuz u killed a game logic. (the PTF has a gam logic to make it keep all the guns)

and OFP doesnt like when u kill a game logic so it kills you back.

This problem is being worked on. Hopefully it will be resolved then you can accidently shoot your Nasties to your hearts content.. You naughty girls and boys http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif

As for units with small arms attacking the Nasties.. that is an inherent problem with OFP I&#39;m afraid. The higher killing power a unit has the less likely an opposing unit with a light weapon will attack it. For example a unit with an m16 wont attack a cobra, yet a unit with a mg might.

This is the best fricken addon ever&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; Poor BIS, they&#39;re not going to have any cool new stuff to put in OFP2 because you guys keep improving the existing game&#33;&#33;&#33; No wonder they keep bumping the release dates back... ;~)

Any plans to have enough cargo proxies for a small squad? I want to be Charlie Sheen, ya know&#33;

Also, I am kinda bummed that the small arms guys won&#39;t shoot at you, but understand the implications of it. Not even a VC DSHK would shoot at me&#33; Could you define the boat as a SmallShip class to somehow get around this? I noticed they will shoot at the BIS Mark II PBR and thought maybe it was because of the base class of the vehicle?

A single RPG was able to destroy my PT boat, can you increase the hitpoints (or whatever you call it) so that it takes a few rounds before being destroyed? I&#39;m no PT expert, but I would think an armored ship could at least survive a few rounds?

Man, GREAT Addon&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

@<hidden> Cyto The nasty is derived from the pbr class which is derived from the smallship class as well AFAIK.. The Nasty armor is set at a lower rate than the pbr as the Nasty had a wooden hull. I will do some experiments with the armor to see if I can improve your survival chances.
Incidently i took the Nasty up the Ia drang River where i had several NVA units armed with RPG. I survived the first hit, but sadly not the second http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

True.  I tested it again and it looks like there were 2 RPG Vietcong in the squad that attacked me.  They must have both shot at the same moment, so it appeared to be a single RPG.

I also noticed the Port and Stbd 20mm guns zoom in pretty far compared to the fore mounted gun.  Don&#39;t know if this was intentional or not, but just thought I would bring it up.

@<hidden>
No problem for bringing up things you notice. This project is far from being comleted as both the PF and PTF boats were created as test beds for the multigun idea. I have had a lot of feedback sent to me personally in regards to improving the boats and improving player and ai useage. One such suggstion I am working on has already improved FPS by at least a third, which means with further refinement the boats will be able to be used without too much degradation of the gameplay. (Got my fingers crossed on this one).

@<hidden>
Thanks. I had created a ne game logic which has improved things significantly. Have noticed thoo that you earlier suggested making the side=Twest, but then later side=7 as is the normal OFP game logic. Wil this make a difference? as i have set the new gamelogic side=Twest as you firts suggested. Anyway thanks.

Sep 7 2004, 12:20
Colonel_Klink:
setting the cost = 1 should eliminate all problems. That is, the
gamelogic will not be listed in the final score and nobody will
get upset with you if you kill any.
The side was left to 7 because otherwise no east unit could
occupy an empty boat (car in MCAR).
Sorry not to have mentioned this before, but my memory failed me.

Thanks Trenchfeet.
I&#39;m looking at the raft deployment idea shortly. The main issue at teh moment is getting the nasty to carry cargo without too many other issues.

@<hidden>
The logics work well except when putting down an empty boat; the guns dont go into their correct positions.

Another side issue is if the crew of the main boat and guns are killed. If I open fire on the boat after the crew are all dead the logics abandon ship and the guns are dumped off the boat. Very strange but looking for a solution to the problem. Still the game logics seem to be the answer to the reduction in lag so the experimenting is worth the effort http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

Quote[/b] ]Another side issue is if the crew of the main boat and guns are killed. If I open fire on the boat after the crew are all dead the logics abandon ship and the guns are dumped off the boat.
This &#39;may&#39; happen if the boat is damaged beyond a certain level.
The same happens in MCAR if the car can no longer move (i.e.:
flatten tires). In MCAR the thing is solved using a script that checks,
when the weapon is fired, if the car can move or not, and if not
the gamelogics&#39; places are populated again. You can check if
this is the case trying to order an AI soldier to the driver position
or the main (20mm bow) gun after the boat has been damaged:
if it refuses to man it, the problem lies here.
A solution could be to kill the gamelogic after putting it in its
place at the unit&#39;s initialization phase: dead gamelogics, as
dead AI soldiers, don&#39;t abandon their position. They can be
expelled by live AI or player trying to enter their (gamelogic&#39;s) position, though.

I&#39;ll look into it as soon as I can get my OFP PC running again.

This way the bofors should point portside on an empty boat.
Basically I created a logic unit, placed it as the Bofors&#39; gunner
and then killed it. I didn&#39;t have the time to test it thoroughly,

Quote[/b] ]The logics work well except when putting down an empty boat; the guns dont go into their correct positions
What&#39;s happening is the boat is put down empty, and only one gun is being set but not in the correct position, in other words one of the other gun positions. I&#39;m not quite sure why it is happening, but when I check for crew after an empty boat is placed it is showing three, just wondering if the two of the logics are going into the driver and gunner position of the main boat as Im getting an error message on the other two gun positions:

@<hidden> Cyto  The nasty is derived from the pbr class which is derived from the smallship class as well

From what I can see, it looks like the Nasty is inherited from BigShip, not SmallShip:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">// water craft classes
class SmallShip&#58; Ship{}; // basic config for small ships - PBRs etc
class BigShip&#58; Ship{}; // basic config for larger ships - destroyers etc

class boatw&#58;BigShip{};
class cwkptfboat&#58; boatw // or from configvehicles cpp list
{
[/QUOTE]

I know your working on more important stuff, so I went ahead and tested it as SmallShip.  I didn&#39;t notice any differences at all, and the AI didn&#39;t react any differently.  Either way, I did it mostly because I&#39;m just learning this stuff and just wanted to try it out...  :~)

I suspect the more modern navies no longer use PT boats but I think many of the smaller navies have craft such as these, although many have exchanged the torpedoes for missiles.

Looks Great&#33; I can&#39;t wait till you get all the little bugs fixed.

AFAIK, the Nasty&#39;s (a Norwiegen boat, not US) were bought to be used in clandestine ops into North Vietnam.

It was an SOG operation. Any US personnel on the boats were "sterilized". They were manned with Vietnamese crews are were largely used in a PsyWar OP to confuse the NVA.

Quite an amazing operation if you read up on it. Not very effective, but different.

Six more PTF&#39;s were built in the U.S. by John Trumpy and Sons of Annapolis, Maryland (some parts, such as the keel and stem were imported).

The US Navy trained Vietnamese crews on Norwegian Boats. These boats were active in coastal bombardment, covert maritime operations, and amphibious raids against transshipment points to destroy/disrupt normal logistic flow. They were used to intercept and destroy infiltration trawlers that had been designated a threat and destroy/disrupt the North Vietnamese fishing industry along the coast of North Vietnam.

The boats were designed to see if multiple guns could be implemented on a boat. The walking about on deck and cargospaces will be looked at at a later date.

Sorry to dredge up this ol&#39; chestnut,

Is there any way to stop the flag appearing when a driver gets in the boat?

I know you can set a Soviet or Vietnamese flag by putting "flagsoviet = true"/"flagvietnam = true" in the boat&#39;s init box, but I&#39;d like to use it with no flag at all, or specify another flag texture.

Thanks,

I guess this&#39;ll work with the Huckins too:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
;setnewflag.sqs
;replaces the default usa/soviet/vietnamese flag a flag of your choice when a specific unit
;gets in nasty class as driver

;place an empty nasty class on the map and name it boat1 or whatever you want
;place a trigger on the map
;set trigger activation to repeatedly
;in trigger condition field paste either
; player in boat1
; or
; whateverunitname in boat1

;in on activation field paste
; &#91;boat1&#93; exec &#34;setnewflag.sqs&#34;

;now when the player or specified unit gets in the chosen flag will set after a short pause
;default flag will show for a split second - don&#39;t know how to get around this
;also, gunner getting in after driver will reset flag to default
;script corrects this after a short pause

;note you can use custom flags placed directly in the mission&#39;s folder

;in the init field for man1, paste this
