Well, I'm glad to see that at least I'm not the only one thinking about ingame Hindenburgs. In the meantime I will go about stringing together eleventy billion barrage balloons. :wink:

I too looked into the unique possibility of a Zeppelin months ago, but stopped after a while. You see, the problem lies, not in the meshes, or the FM, but in the damage model and most importantly, the visual effect of the death-throws of a dying gas bag...

[Divine-wind]

So, would it be any easier to create a 'death animation' or somesuch for a static object? Would it be possible to use the effect that goes with the balloons we already have ingame?

Or am I talking nonsense about a subject I know nothing of?

Bump for the whaleships.

I'd take a crack at this myself, but I don't know the first thing about modeling or coding, nor do I have any modeling programs to begin with.

excellen!!!! btw, what number object are the barrage balloon and flak balloon? thanks!

[Divine-wind]

Actually the barrage and observation balloons are under Stationary Objects, down towards the end. They're arranged by height.

2nd stupid question of the day:
So, does anyone know of a tutorial anywhere about importing new objects into the FMB? Not just installing a downloaded mod, but maybe something that covers converting the model into the right format and whatnot.
