adding day signals tp ships

[bona]

I am working on scenarios to explain COLREG rules. Is there any way to add day signals to the ship model without touching the 3d model itself? I'm looking for a way to add e.g a black ball for a vessel at anchor or a cone or hour glass for a fishing vessel?

That's not currently possible, but would be a good idea. Would you want to be able to change/turn off the day shapes during a scenario?

Hello James,

many thanks for considering this idea!

I'm not able to estimate, how much effort it takes to implement this. For me, it would be sufficient to be able to edit it in boat.ini and split the scenario. But your proposal would be an extraordinary improvement, compared to work with different models and different scenarios.

But if you have an idea how to modify settings stored in boat.ini during runtime, it would also be helpful to modify the name of the ships model e.g. as for sailing vessels, which look different depending on wind direction.

All these are just a 'nice to have'.

Thanks!
