I think you the only one left who is so devoted with mods for SHIII

thank you for this

yessss! that would be cool! same with the dials mod!!

Zen Master Caine (nvdrifter) did a longer ship wakes mod.

However, if you don't use that mod or the wakes need to be even longer, then a new mod for that might be just the ticket.

For the u-boats, it will need to be made compatible with Rubini's Water Streams and Racerboy's Exhaust Smoke, though. Both of those mods use the same file you'd need to change the u-boat wakes.

There would need to be four versions... for the wakes alone, with Water Streams, with Exhaust Smoke, and with both Water Streams and Exhaust Smoke.

And then there's all the other ships to be modded, each and every one will need their values changed and tested to look right. You don't want a trawler trailing the same wake as a battleship.

So what do you say, PT? :hmm:

I say that the wake is actually controlled by a TGA file, and won't be incompatible with anything.

And I also say that I've already modded the wakes for myself, long ago...

, Mister Thomsen you are a naughty boy:rotfl: :rotfl:

Graf Paper · 11-19-08, 10:27 PM

Actually, the particle generators that control how the wake behaves are in the .val files. Merely adding a .tga to Textures will not do much. You have to control factors such as spray, lifetime, and decay for the wakes to look right.

That's what I say. :p

Different wakes means a deformation on the wake.
Deformation is a word derivated from "form".
The tga file controls the form of the wake.

If you want it to last longer, easy, just change the controls of lifetime.
If you want it to be larger, around the ship, with a better form, you'll have to mess with the tga file.

Really? :hmm:

I've never looked very close into the val files... I'll give it a crack!

Thomsen sometimes states things out of the blue and confuses the lost.. :rotfl:

Watched Brasil last night thomsen.. Although Quim caught the starlight, Brasil played really well..
Shure showed them whos the colony now, eh? :rotfl:

Although Argentina fan myself(

), always like Brasil when they play football and when they are not asking the judge for favours like last night..
And one more thing.. Check this out..

I lost faith in football. Didn't even watch the game last night. It's all about money.

Lately I'm more into snooker. Have been practicing 4 hours a day, and 12 hours a day on the weekends. Getting pretty good at it. Won a low ranking event last weekend!

asanovic7 · 11-20-08, 11:54 AM

Have you lost confidence in yourself?
Are you full of doubt?
WHat is wrong?
You can always tell your problems here!
This can be your confessing room..
If you like it that way..
Remember, no matter how hard the road is, there is always hope it'll be better along it..

p.s. GEEZ, robertson, I watched snooke on eurosport this week.. Guy had to put it into corner hole, easy shot, even I, worst billiard player ever

, couldn't miss it.. And what he did!?
He shot it with great power and knocked the ball of the bankine out of table!?
I just tuned in and don't know the damn rules so I was just hoping that was deliberate..

But I think you are again messing it out :rotfl:
Cheers!

gotta go..

Heres 5 stars robertson!

Philipp_Thomsen · 11-20-08, 01:04 PM

Nope, I prefer snooker over football for several reasons.

The main reason is that you dont depend on the guy next to you.
Win or lose? All depends exclusively on you!
You gotta trust on you, depend on you, make your own luck.

I hate sports where you depend on a group of people to get the results.
My mind is too creative, and while most people look in a straight line, I'm searching for alternatives.

I love snooker cos I don't have to necessarily pot the ball. I can do whatever I want in a snooker table. I love to spin the ball 4 or 5 cushions and land on the next, instead of just get position with one or none cushions, like most players. I love to screw back the white ball an entire table, even if that makes the next shot harder. That is what gives me excitement, pleasure, fun! To follow my own creativity, to let my mind go travel. I don't give a sh!t about winning or losing, I just care about playing the best I can, do things people find too hard, or even impossible... be precise... be violent... to pot a ball so hard that the pocket breaks and everybody hear the bang, and in the very next shot, make the ball drift slowly and almost stop before falling in the pocket. I don't care about points, I just care about making things interesting, facinating, enjoyable.

With a mentality like that, I would never be happy playing in a team. The people in the team would expect me to play the basics, which I would not, and at the same time I would expect the team to be creative on the plays, which they would not do. Tried before, 15 minutes later, I'm pissed off and also the team.

THIS IS ART! POETRY IN MOTION!

There's NEVER a final version. A mod can always be improved. For that to happen, I need you guys to feedback.

Sag75 · 11-20-08, 09:20 PM

Hi PT, here some feedback:

The minesweeper (Sperrbrecher class) sometime stops again near the coast in Lorient harbour.

DDs feel well, but maybe they accelerate too quickly yet (0-10kts in 35sec, 10-25kts in 1,5min):hmm:. But their speed in turning is fine, 10kts, 300m radius at full rudder

.

I think Flower corvette is yet a bit penalized in turning: in a convoy protected by only Flowers, I was able to run everywhere at 7-8kts, because Flowers was hunting me zig-zagging at 5-6kts! Anyway, they can turn in 200m radius, that's ok now (it's equal to our U-boat).

bye, thanks again for your work!
