I guess we can ignore the multiple conflicts with the UI mod?

Install the FX Update first then the UIs mod. Sorry, should've documented that

Reason is so that the FX Update doesn't overwrite Reaper7's edited xx_sil.dds pics for the rec manual.
I left some of the xx_sil.dds pics in as 'placeholders' for those ships that are clones to remind me to update them when masters are available for them. I have to add an entry to their .zon file for the distress flare.

No problem, thanks.

This also conflicts with B.A.R.F.

Do you also allow the ship to sink from flooding over time or is it strickly HP based?

Yes it will conflict with BARF. No I have not adjusted the zones for sinking from flooding yet.

Curious to know what you all think about the secondary explosions.......there are two versions of secondary explosions...small and large. The small one has a very loud crack sound and throws out little pieces of debris. The large one has a lower pitched rumble that expels small debris and 4 pieces of large debris that are smoking. Both secondary explosions can be heard on the hydrophone if you're close enough.......

The distress flare also has sound and can be heard if you are close enough (hydrophone also)

Man I forgot just how fast the ships sink without BARF, I only tried torpedoes so far and the ships went down so fast I didn't notice the secondary explosions. I heard some explosions after the ships had sunk. I really hoped that you would have removed the 'firework' explosions that happens when you get the big bang from a lethal hit. Other than that the torpedo explosions looked great imo. I could see the debris flying through the air from my scope and noticed remaining pieces still floating when I used camera. I'll try the deck gun next and your off to a great start with this mod.

the fireworks will be removed in upcoming versions. I just have to map out what each baza effect is and how to use it (or not use it). With this version I just wanted to get some debris added to shell hits and get some secondary explosions going from fires. And that torp explosion needed a major overhaul!

Cool, do you also get the secondary explosions when using the deck gun?

the additional explosions (there can be a total of 3 depending on total time the effect has played) are tied to certain effects (currently 2 of the BAZA fires). So anytime one of these fire effects 'play' the timer starts for the additional explosions. First additional explosion happens after 60 seconds.

7thSeal · 09-05-10, 08:59 PM

Ah I see, so you'll likely see more then with the deck gun since it usually starts fires early on in the attack.

TheBeast · 09-05-10, 10:52 PM

Now we need a EAX Sound MOD for Aircraft and Explosions. Has there been any work done on a Shake MOD. Would be cool if the boat rattled and shaked for any explosion within 1000 meters and add rolling for any explosion within 500 meters. Also possible damage if explosion is within 250 meters.

Looking forward to trying this out! Hopefully there will be a way to make it compatible with BARF. Thanks for all your work!!

I'll make it compatible with BARF. It's very simple to do. I'll make the changes and upload fix to post #1 here very soon.

EDIT:

For users using BARF, install this after the FX_Update mod:

2 files, sh.sdl and particles.dat clash with the ENV 3.5MOD, which ones should I use?
