[REL] Ship damage from fires - Page 4

Fish40 · 04-26-11, 08:17 AM

I finally had the opportunity to see if this mod works, and I must say that I believe it does. I play with RFB which has adjusted the sink rates of ships to realistic times based on flooding instead of hitpoints. The one thing that I hardly ever saw was the big secondary explosions after almost every torpedo impact like the stock game has.

After installing this mod, I torpedoed a Old Raked Bow Merchant. One of the torpedoes hit smack under the stack after which followed a secondary explosion setting the thing ablaze. The ship still took a realistic time to go down, but IMHO I do believe the fires sped up the process a bit. I like it! Not overdone like the damage from stock explosions, but something you could believe. Lets face it, fire dose cause damage and destruction! I think I'm gonna keep this one!

Does this mod still work with TMO 2.5?

Should work with any mod since it adds a custom-made file (i.e. it doesn't alter any existing files which other mods may modify).

Wow what a difference this mod has made.....

Stuck 4 torps in the Shinnano last night and she was slightly tilted and smoking. Saw some secondary explosions for a minutes later and could hear compartments exploding inside her from under water for about the next 20 mins...

After about 30 mins game time the entire ship started breaking out in fires and had many more multiple explosions...

Started to totally sink a short time later.

Looked just like the real way that the Shinnano was historically sunk!

Any chance of an upload on subsim? Filefront and Gamefront started crashing on me a week ago and I can't log in anymore as the page won't even load up.

I tried this mod in FORTS in a single mission to be exact the samar mission and yeah it works well,(too well ) because i cant win the mission now as soon as the shootin starts (my ships can fire from 10k+ m) most ships explode as soon as my torp hits but i don't get any cred for it.so I had to disable the mod.

i seam to have noticed it makes ships sink easier AND faster now

just wish i could figure out why its a video file?

UPDATE: it appears i had some other mod causing issues, after a mod soup cleanout its working correctly now and i no longer get a guarranteed one kill per torpedo

Webster, it should be a .DAT file in the library folder, that can be opened with S3D.

ok thanks i missed that

stupid Nero is telling me its a video file and showing the video disc icon

i wonder if TDW would consider doing a version that doesnt increase damage and sinking times so much, maybe to half of what it does now.

i like what its doing but something in there greatly weakens the ships way too much IMO

Should be quite easy to do - just open the file with S3D and adjust the MinEF/MaxEF and/or MinRadius/MaxRadius values in AmmoDamageInfo in the Small_Fire_DC and Large_fire_DC nodes (and also PlaneSmoke_DC and PlaneFire_DC nodes if you want to tweak aircraft fire damage).
