Help with modding
So i am starting with modding sh3 but i don't know how to start. I would like to learn Silent 3Ditor but its so confusing. My target is to make a new water splashes for subs like in GWX OneAlex. Can someone help with that?
Thank you in advance |

Now, I guess that you have to learn by yourself, as I did, and ask precise questions when you are (really) stuck somewhere. When modding SH3, you really have to know how to use JSGME and S3D. Also, you can search in the forums here at Subsim, I'm sure you wil find many answers to your questions. About water splashes, in short, you have to create a new Particles generator with your own parameters and place a copy of it everywhere you want on the submarine's hull. Also, you have to add a controller which will start this generator only when its height is under 0. Also, a Floating controller IIRC. Just observe how it's done in SH3 files, and try to mimic. Finally, I want to warn you that creating a good particles effect is a very hard and time consuming task, even when you are well experienced... So, if you have a bunch of free hours and a strong desire of success, you might manage to do something which will be good enough for your taste. Good luck!

If i can give you an advice, this can sound stupid, but... always create a backup copy of everything you want to mod. Just in case. Mister_M wrote really well. Best regards, Vd
