Anchor Improvements
Features
- Anchors can now be picked up and set (or thrown) by hand
- Anchor winches now slow under tension like other winches
- Resizes the anchor and winch on the brig (this is purely visual, I thought they were too small)
- Adds text to winch showing how much rope is currently out.
- Fixes anchors rolling away downhill.
- Anchor winches to behave the same on all ships.
- Anchors can now set again after being pulled loose, instead of staying loose until lifted and dropped again.
- Anchor position and rope length are now saved across reloads
Options
- Simple physics
- Anchor will stay set unless overpowered until boat is within 45 degrees of it, instead of releasing as soon as you start winching.
- Anchor rope is now slightly stretchy to reduce the chance of jolts breaking the anchor loose.
- Normal Sailwind rope length (50 yards).
- Complex Physics
- Holding power is now based on scope (angle from anchor to ship), resulting in more holding power at low angles and less at steep angles.
- Extended rope to allow for realistic scope (150 yards).
- Rope stretches more at low angles and long distances to imitate real scope.
- Changed how anchor setting works. Anchor now sets more quickly when pulled than when stationary (it will still set with a slack line, just more slowly).
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
