Very nice and useful ! However, I don't see Tourelle des Vieux Moines.

If we want to add all this stuff, we really need to create generic models !

Tourelle de la Plate alpha v12

Tourelle de la Plate v12 - patch 1

Tourelle de la Plate v12 - patch 12

Enable them in that order. Besides improving water spray effect from high waves, the last patch features an unfinished wave foam effect which uses a stopgap texture and it is meant just for testing purposes. Shouldn't you likeit, you can replace patch 12 with:

Tourelle de La Plate v12 - Patch 10

This you had to fix Tourelle de la Plate alpha v12 and in the Roster folder, and I did not have to rack my brains.

Sorry, no definitive nor official mod has been released yet, we are still working on it. So use at your own risks !
