  • Hi Guest!

    Details about the security patch can be found here.
Pirate Cove

Environments Pirate Cove

Please read as this update may not be of interest to everyone, this update makes the following changes:
- Adds missing colliders for some of the chair and table assets (beach chairs, foldable chairs, lifeguard station and picnic table. Thanks to @cyberdelique for pointing out the missing colliders to me. The new versions of these assets are highlighted by "with colliders" in the CUA name.
- To fit these updates into the max file size for a VAR on the Hub (500mb), I had to remove all demo scenes in version 9.
- The benefit to this update is that your drunk pirates are less likely to fall off the chairs and tables. Cheers! Arr!

Also added new demo scene: "lost atoll."
This update of Pirate Cove makes the following changes:
- Added a tropical wave variant that removes the sea bottom rocks (ocean_waves_5a)
- Added a new light blue hue tropical ocean effect (ocean_waves_6)
- Added a new colorless and foamless ocean effect (ocean_waves_7)
-- This new colorless ocean effect is more amendable to color changes caused by the color of directional lights
-- See Tropical Demo 2 for a way to manipulate the light on the ocean effect
- Added an alternative night bake setup (old sea port 2 stormy waters version 2)
-- This variant removes the embedded wave sounds and also the embedded ocean waves
-- The "Pirate Cove Demo - no dependencies" scene has been updated with the new configuration
-- The sound waves in the original demo scene are labelled "waves loop 3" and are included in the custom sounds folder

Version 4 simplifies the demo scenes in order to remove all external dependencies.

- This update adds:
-- A tropical ocean effect, the CUA is labelled "ocean_waves_5."
-- An updated version of the original Pirate Cove ocean effect that removes the bubble effect, labelled "ocean_waves_3."
-- A new demo scene for the tropical waves effect that includes sound effects
-- As a reminder, for these waves to be visible, a directional light with cast shadows turned on is required

This update adds the following:
- Ten assets can be individually loaded for customized scenes
-- Crates, barrels, bottles, boats, canopies, planks and more
- Three ocean effects added as individual assets (these effects work best with directional lighting)
-- "Ocean_shallow_2" is a replica of the ocean effect in the demo scene
--- I suggest scaling this CUA in size to 2 or 3 times the normal size, this will lower the ocean floor and the bubble effects
-- "Ocean_shallow_1" is similar to the previous effect except it is not as deep and has a small rock island in the center
-- "Ocean skyline" is a smaller scale effect with calmer water but more reflection.
--- This effect can be made larger in scale, I suggest testing to irregular numbers to avoid pattern repetition, an example CUA scale size that seems to work well is 4.422 scale.
