Default Merchant Distress Flares

Greetings All;
Is there a mod that equips the merchants to fire a flare when attacked or sinking? I vaguely remember that when I hit one at night it fired a red flare but I cannot remember what mod?
Thanks

I want to say there was a SH4 effects for SH3 GWX that had this feature. I'm pretty sure it was tied to the Ship Sinking message so it didn't happen when a ship was just hit. It had to be sinking. Can't remember the mod author though. Sorry.

I use the optional flares mod from LSH3 in GWX and LSH3. You have white flares when a ship is attacked and red flares when sinking.

Regards.

From the LSH3 5.1 manual...
Quote:
LSH3_V5.1_SLS_Schiffshorn-Leuchtkugeln-Seenotsignal – Matz1962
With this adjustment of Racerboy's MOD “Rbs1_SH4_Effects_GWX_21_204f”, the ships in LSH3 shoot star-shells
and distress flares and merchants and warships use different horns when your U-boat is detected.

You need to download LSH3 v5.1. Between the optional mods, there is this mod you search. Apply it via JSGME AFTER Rb SH4 effects mods and AFTER your sound mod (if you use some of they). It works fine in GWX.

Regards.

Fitzcarraldo thank you sir!

Only thing is, LSH3 v5.1 seems to require the entire DL to get just this one piece. Is it possible to somehow only DL the portion that adds the flares/horns?

Thanks for the input and info gents, I'll have to search it out and use that JSGME tool to instal it in the game.

Hi PhilipWebb059,

the best way to get the red flare is to use h.sie's "Seenot-Leuchtrakete - Do it yourself". This is original SH3-programming - not something arrond 4+ corners. It's very easy, just one entry in the Zones.cfg, nothing more.

Greetings

<old thread> Anyone know if Hsie's mod works in single missions/academy or only in the campaign ?
I tried it in academy and single mission and nothing.

I use for this

Yeah, saw that one. Guess I'll grab it too, but I think it only does the flares when the ship is sinking, not when hit ?
Been trying to get the mod out of LSH that has the ships fire the flares when hit but no luck so far.

Another thing AOD had outta of the box.

h.sie "Seenot-Leuchtrakete Do_it_yourself" works as intended.
Do to its nature it works anywhere: in Academy, SingleMission, or in Campaign.

Strange. I tried it in academy and gwx single mission sc7 (for it's night setting).

Nothing. Triple checked I had it set up right, it's not difficult. Have to look again I guess.

Thanks for the info.
