Looking for details on shipboat physics

Post » Tue Jan 22, 2013 8:19 pm

I have read at least one rumor that seemed very valid, that the possibility of actual fully functioning boat/ships and that there is someone/people working on this as we speak.

Now I wonder how it is possible without Dragonborn actually being released on PC, that is neither here nor there because I am not a modder & wouldn't know what's what with that. I know that Taleworlds sold the rights to Snowbird to develop a M&B style Carribean game and it is what you think it is. That is also neither here nor there but mentioned because they have spent a year or more just getting the ship physics & sailing right. As there is obviously a moving boat mechanic in Dragonborn seen in the trailer and 3d waves? Yes 3d waves are in.

The point I am getting to is, I am skeptical, again I am not a modder, I only assume things such as free form dragon riding for example can be a legit mod because of the script/extenders/animations (what have you)for dragon riding that is already there in dragonborn.

So I am just purely curious if anyone knows what I am talking about, How Legit is this possible sailing mod? And what of the news about it?

3-D waves in Dragonborn? I've seen no evidence of this. Is that what you were saying?

Anyway, yes sailing is possible. I saw a video from a chap who was working on just that a while ago, I'll have a hunt for the link.

Edit: Here we are, 3 videos:

Edit 2: Another video, he actually demonstrates controlling a boat in this one:

Thank you that looks amazing I hope we do get a full blown sailing boat/ship mod.

Yes 3d waves, it is discussed a lot in this thread

I think rowing, steering and boat animations would be harder than the actual scripting really.
